IN TENEMENT HOUSE
Five Were Children, Hudd|ed
Together, Sobbing Helpless
Iy Locked in Room.
HAS TO WALK ALONG LEDGE
Detective, Aided by Patrolmen,
Rescues Four Other Young
sters and Two Women
at Bronx Blaze.

Heroes are made in a moment. and II
was in this fashion that Detective
Szermer, Of the Alexander avenue police
station, became man above other men
at tenement house fire In The Bronx
Yesterday afternoon. The plainclothes
man walked a narrow ledge to take four
children out of a sixth story window,
carried two women from the fourth floor
with the same hazard and then rushed
back to the fifth floor and beat I'm
locked door and rescued five other chill
dren. Patrolmen helped him in all three
instances.
The fire was in six story building at
No. 80 East 18TH street, and twenty
four families had been driven out by the
clouds OF thick black smoke that came
from the basement and rolled up the
stair well. A crowd of more than four
thousand people were standing in the
streets, and instantly turned it's collect
i've face upward as yell came from one
of the windows on the sixth floor.
Szermer was one OF the many who
heard the cry, and I'm response 10 1t he
| hurried up the fire escape on the front
Of the house and edged himself along the
| ledge, seventy-fve feet above the side
walk, when he got to the top story. He
had to go a distance of fifteen feet along
| the ledge to reach four children who
were crying for help, but one By one he
got them out and handed them to Pa
trolman Manner, who stood on the top
platform OF the fire escape.
Szermer. the children and the patrol
man. had Just reached the street and
the crowd was wildly apprTuding the de-
tective. When two women appeared at
the window of a fiat on the fourth floor.
Szermer and Manner went up the iron
ladders of the fire escape and MADE the
rescucs in the same way.
The smoke was growing thicker and
denser. and fire apparatus was changing
up Hose was being run into the base
ment when a woman forced her way
through the fire lines to Patroman Fin
niean. of the Alexander avenue police
station.

The detective heard her and beckonec
to two patrolmen. They dashed UP the
smoke filed stairs to the fifth floor. and
trying all tho doors found one leading &c
a front fat locked. When they smashed
down the door they saw five children
ranging from Eve TO twelve years old
clingng to one another and sobbing in
corner one little girl had hidden hel
head beneath arother's dress.
There was more cheering for Szermel
and the policenren when they got to the
street with these youngsters, but they
kept on with what work there was tC
do. and helped 10 keep the throng bach
and strengthen the fire lines.
The blaze started in defective heater
which exploded I'm the basement and set
fire to a lot Of trunks and piles of rub

than fame. and the firemen did not have
much dlfficulty I'm conquering the blaze
The damage was estimated at $500.

"A BIoodthirsty Gang"

George Lansbury, the Socialist mem
be- for the Bow end Bromley division
of the Tower Hamlets, who wants to
drive the government from power nni
impeach the ministers because they
called out the troops to suppress strike
riotins, created a scene in the House Of
Commons this afternoon by accusing the
supporters Of the policy of utilizing the
troops OF countepancing tine butchery of
the innocents.'
II never knew such a bloodthirsty
gang" he shouted across the House. and
was proceeding to dcnounce the Home
Secretary when ne was sharply called
to order 10y the Speaker.
At a Cabinet meeting held to-day the
advisability Of introducing bill in Par
lament providing for compulsory arbi-
traticn in labor disputes was discussed.
1t was decided, however, not TO intro
duoe such pill, because Of the difficulty
that would be experienced in enforcing
ocmpulsion all around.
The railway men at various centres to-
day declared their intention not to ham
die trains employed in conveying soldiers
and police through the strike areas. A
report was current that the governmc.-t
was likely tS respond TO this action Of
the men with proclamation Of martial
lsw on all railways.
Passengers for Manchester were in
formed at the booking Offices that trans
portation could not be guaranteed
further than Crewe, which is about

While the total number of men en-

railways is 10000, a majority Of the
skilled laborers are union men. In the

NAMED as far from being solved as when
they began.
The railway managers declared that
protection had been promised by the
government in the running of their
trains and that they would not yield to
their men, The representatives of the
Amalgamated Society of Railway Ser
wants declared the strike would take
place tomorrow morning. In accordance
with their ultimatum.
Though the government to-day made
an energetic attempt to avert the calam-
fly OF a general railway strike, the pres
ent indications are that one will ma
terialize at s o'clock tomorrow morning
when the ultimatum of the employees eX-
pires. Conferences were held late to-
night as we'll as all day at the Board OF
Trade with representatives Of both sides
of the dispute by sydney Buxton. presi-
dent OF the board. but they did not actu
ally result in meeting between the con-
tending parties.
During the night Mr.. Buxton was TO
see the executives of the three railway
mems unions. who are now Ell route TO
London from Liverpool. This fact alone
leaves a glimmer of hope that the men s
ultimatum may at the last moment be
extended another day and provide an
opportunity for further negotiations.

Military Protection Disguised.
II is understood that Mr.. Buttons
conference with the managers of the
railway companies was largely taken up
with a discussion of the extent to which
the government was prepared 10 go IN
sffording military protection TO the rail-
ways i'm the event Of strike.
In the House of Commons to-day Win
ston Spencer Churchill. the Home Secre-
tary. declared that non-Unionists were
entitled by law TO work without moles-
tation and that they would be protected
in the exercise of that right. The Chan
cellor Of the Exchequer, David Lloyd
George also declared that the govern
ment was determined to protect the rail-
ways and the food supply at all costs
and would not depart in the smallest
degree from it's determination to project
life and property.
Tonight MIR. Lloyd George in the Com
mons again answered g question as to
what the governments policy of protec-
ton to the railways would be. 1t SEEM
ingly hedged from the statements of
himself and Mr.. Churchill during the
day. The Chancellor said:
The government is bound to protect
life and property. but its responsibility
does not end there. 1t must do all in its
power to see that fair play is given to
the community at large. Nothing is
further from the mind of the govern
ment than even to convey the impress
sion that il would intervene in the inter-
ests OF any party. 1t is essential that
the government should preserve an at
titude OF complete impartiality. 1t GER
tainly does not mean 10 give any guar
antee or TO lend any countenance TO the
theory that it has undertaken in ad-
vance to be any party TO the contro-
vtrsy.'

Senate on the converting Of the
Legislature. This will leave = voc

fore the term of James K. Var
sman begins in 1913. The legisla-
ture is not instructed Except
morally for any particular per-
SON to fill this one year vacan-
cy.
The above is written to impress
upon voters the Importance of
voting for men in the primary
next Tuesday who are pledged
against such secret caucus pro-
ceedings as characterized the cleo
ton of a U. s. Senator by the
legislature of 1910. Remember
that the conditions are similar,
and that another secret caucus
could be, if it could be engineer
ed. The best way to prevent it,
is to send only Vardaman men
to the legislature. They will al
ways stand like a stonewall a.
gainst such shameful proceed
ings.
Next Tuesday, the voters Of
this county are to elect two re
representatives.. In the first pri
mary, two of the candidates of
fering, Mr.. D. H. Streetman, ant
b. N. Edens, repudiated the Sc
cret caucus and were in the o
pen for Vardaman. The othe
two candidates were non-commit
tai.

out and does not hesitate to sa,
at this time-Remember the sc
cret caucus and vote for Street
man and Edens, next Tuesday.

the Legislature to be nominated
by the second primary. And 1t
behooves every friend of good
government to see that no man
is elected who does not come up
TO the Jeffersonian standard.
The man who openly approves
a fraud is an unsafe representa-
tive to the people.
There is a great deal of need
full legislature to be looked after
by the next Legislature.
The last Legislature created
offices for Noel to use in the Sc
cret caucus and other unnecess-
airy acts were passed which inn
posed a very heavy burden on
the taxpayers.
These burdens must be remov-
ed.
There is another reason why
we need IA good Legislature.
1t is rumOred that Mr. Hines,
of Lorimer fame, and some of
the timber bandits will be on
hand asking favors.
We need good, strong, honest
men on guard, of the right faith
and clean affiliation-''men I'M
bought by power and unbrlbed
by gain.

ter, dear voter.
Do not forget that.
Eternal vigilence is the price
of liberty just as much today as
ever In the history of this grand

VARDAMAN S ADDRESS.
To the People of Mississippi:

To the People of MISSISSIPPI:
Moved by a profound sense OF
gratitude, | take this method OF
assuring my friends of the great
obligation they have placed me
under for their generous support
at the primary ON the first day
Of August, 1911.
The campaign has been a long
and bitter ne-characterized by
degree of acrimony which
should have no place in a poiiti-
cal contest IN the State OF Miss
issippi
Perfect concord and harmony
among the white Democrats OF
this State is vital to the future
welfare of the commonwealth.
To encompass my defeat, those
who opposed me have scrnpled
at nothing They have invaded
the sacred precincts of private
character, employed means which
IN their calmer moments, men Of
honor. courage and veraelty
would have spurned.
The Executive function was
one of the potential agencies EN-
ployed, and Federal patronage
was used for all 1t was worth.
In the fierce fight of the con-
test everything was lost sight of,
save the goal of man ) ambition.
The ends were thought to just
.ify the means TO win at any
cost, was the battle cry.
Personally, l have entieavored
at all times to remain within the
realm of legitimate discussion In
all of my speeches, | avoided re
ferences to the personal qualiti-
es and private character Of the
men whose aInbliOns happened
to cross mine in that contest.
/ discussed only the great and
good measures, principles and pol
icien which confronted the Amer
lean people.
