SAVE FOUR FROM DROWNING
Conductor and Trainmen Drag
Boys from Lake with Rope.

The quick wit Of Fred w. Rawson a
New York Central conductor, and
William Schreiber a trainman, saved
the lives Of four boys yesterday at Van
Cortlandt Park. They are James In
grain, of No. $50 West 19Oth street;
Arthur Pinner, Of No. 800 West 17Sth
street; Arthur Perkins, of No. 80 West
17Sth street, and Arnold Engleson of
No. 5O4 West 1S0th street.
The four lads started to cross the
northern end Of Van Cortlandt Park
Lake, where there was a four-inch COW
ering or Ice. The rise in temperature
had weakened the ice. however. and
when the boys reached the centre Of the
lake the ice gave way. The boys
screams attracted the attention Of
Rawson and Schreiber whose train
stood on a side track. They seized a
coil Of rope from their caboose and,
making slip moose in Western style,
threw II within reach Of Perkins and
Pinner, and after some difficulty drew
them out from among the cakes of ice
EaWson then waded in, and when In
gram came 10 the surface, threw a slip
moose over his head and arm and
dragged him out in semi
state. In the meantime Schreiber had
rescued Engelson. The four were taken
10 railroad tower, and after being re-
YlYed were taken 10 their homes. --

FORT GEORGE HALL BURNS
Big Blaze on the Hill Destroys
Dance Pavilion.
INCENDIARY, SAY POLICE
Sparks Endanger Heimath Home
for Aged, but Flames Are
Prevented from Spreading.

Fire destroyed the Star dance hall and
hotel, in Paradise Hall, on Fort George
Bluff. at 19Jth street and st. Nicholas
avenue, last night, and threatened to
spread to the adjoining four story frame
structure, formerly the Fort George
Hotel and now occupied by the Queen
Motor Aeroplane Company.
The flames were plainly seen by per
sons across the river in New Jersey and
in the Borough of The Bronx. and only
the quick work Of the firemen prevented
them from spreading to the other frame
structures about the amusement park.
When the fire was discovered the park
and the bluff were practically deserted
The reflection of the fire later drew
thousands of persons to the scene and
the police reserves, who were called
from the West 152d street station, had
difficulty in preserving the fire lines.
The police believe the fire was of incen-
diary origin.
Nicholas Zerrana, the watchman, in
formed the police that shortly before
The fire started he saw man lettering
about the hall and the aerCplane factory.
Before the watchman could accost him
the man turned and fed. A few minutes
later the watchman discovered the fire,
which started in the centre of the dane
ing pavilion. He made several efforts to
extinguish the flames, and then called
| Patrolman Wilson, of the West 152d
street station. An alarm was turned in,
which brought four pieces Of fire ap-
paratus and Battalion Chief King.
owing to the distance the fire ap-
! paratus had 10 60 the fire gained great
! headway prior to its arrival Battalion
| Chief King ordered a second alarm
| turned in, and then a third, the latter
alarm being a precautionary move, as
the fire threatened to wipe out the many
frame buildings in the amusement park.
Acting Fire Chief Martin, who is in
ness Of Fire Chief Kenlon, hurried to
the scene of the fire after the third
alarm had been turned in. When addi-
tiOnal fire apparatus arrived the dance
hall and hotel building was doomed.
The firemen concentrated their efforts
upon preventing the flames from spread
ing to adjacent buildings.
Directly in the rear of the dance hall
IS the Isabella Heimath Home for the
Aged, at 191st street and Amsterdam
avenue. A sharp northwesterly wind
carried sparks and fragments of burned
timber in the direction of the home,
which houses seventy-five men and fifty
women. The fremen fought the fire on
the south side of the dance hall. and
thus kept the blaze from the Heimath
| Home.
During the progress Of the fire several
hremen were overcome by smoke and
heat. They were assisted beyond the
fire lines and attended by ambulance
surgeons
According 10 the watchman. the fire
was undoubtedly Of incendiary origin
and the work of a pyromaniac. He was
confident that nothing was in the build
| ing that could have caused spontaneous
combustion
The fire was under control at ]
o'clock, although the firemen continued
to play streams Of water on the ruins to
prevent its possible spread. The dam
age was estimated at about $4,000.

too dark to take a photograph of it. An
impression was made, however, which
was compared with the finger prints
taken Of Roberts's fingers when he was

identical"
Among the loot in the third floor loft

against the walls. Removing the boxes,
the detectives found two smaller paste
board boxes in which were the stolen
tewelry, with the exception of gold
bracelet and a locket. the bank book
and check book the silver cigarette case
and the blood-stained shirt.

Jewels Hidden in Storage Loft of
Building Where VOgeI
Was Slain.
INSPECTOR HUGHES TALKS
Same Lines Shown That Helped
Indict Roberts Before, He
Says, and Waldo Promotes
Man Working on Case.

Police Inspector Hughes announced
last night that detectives attached TO
the Central Office had recovered the
greater part Of the loot stolen from
Isaac s. Vogel. the itinerant jeweller,
whose body was found in the basement
of a loft building at No. 125 Canal street
on Wednesday morning.
He said the stolen property was found
in a loft on the fourth floor, used for
storage by Aaron j. Small, a shirtwaist
manufacturer, and with IL were a blood
stained shirt and a cigarette case which.
Inspector Hughes, added, bore a well de-
fined finger print which he declared to
be identical with the finger print taken
of Roberts, the negro elevator boy, who
was arrested soon after the body of the
jeweller was found and was held on the
charge of homicide.
The loot, the inspector says, consisted
of two hundred pieces of silverware and
iewelry. valued at more than $1,000.
Inspector Hughes went on to say:
The detectives found what they be-
lieve to be the missing link that will
connect Roberts with the murder Of
Vogel Among the loot in the loft was
silver cigarette case. inside of which was
a well defined finger print. Roberts was
arrested in April last, charged with
opening and robbing the safe of his en-
ployers Steinhardt & Co.. It No 80
Broadway.
AT that time a finger print was found
in the interior of the safe which later
served as evidence on which to indict
Roberts. This was the first indictment
by finger prints in the history Of the
Police Department. The detectives be-
lieve that the finger print found in the
cigarette case will suffice again to indict
Roberts.

BUT PRIVILEGE
DOESN'T LIKE III

AS might be expected, the spe-
cial interests and privileged per-
sons of Great Britain are not hail
ing the unemployed insurance bill
with glad acclaim. They point to
the fact that America wouldn't
think of adopting any such $50
cialistic" and 'paternalistic'
schemes. and why, then. should
Great Britain encourage idleness
and destroy incentive among the
working classes?
Having boggled up all the ma
tural opportunities, the profit
grabbers care nothing about the
miseries endured by the workers
who are involuntarily idle be-
cause a few thousand plutocrats
control the means of production.
But the time has come when
the throwing of an occasional
charity bone to the under dog is
regarded as adding insult to In
jury. The workers of the world
are in revolt, politically and in
dustrially, and there is going to
be an entirely new deal shortly.
And Lloyd-George knows it.
