ALERT MOTORMAN
SAVES CHILD'S LIFE.

TRENTON, Feb. PA pretty little
girl, whose name was not learned, came
within an inch or two of losing her life
yesterday afternoon at the corner of
Perry street and Clinton avenue She
was on her way home from school with
some of her companions when she ran
directly In front of a trolley car thai
was going east around the bend.
William Bowers, the motorman, APP
piled the emergency brake and stopped
the car so closely to the little girl that
he could have reached out his hand and
touched her.
When Bowers was praised by passen-
gers for saving the child's life he said.
Children often have r escapes
like that. They scamper out In fr- Mt OF
q car before you see them. and it's a
wonder more OF them are not killed.
You have 70 keep your eyes open and
your wits about o when you're a
motorman."

JiORE CATCHES
FIRE FOR s xTH
TIME IN IS MOS.
Herman & Co. Establishment
Damaged TO Extent of $500
This Morning.

Fire that broke out shortly before
s o'clock this morning in the building
occupied by Herman 4 Co, painters
and p~aperhangers, PIG Washington
street, has aroused something more
than curiosity IN the ire department..
The blaze this morning caused no
more thai s400 damages, out Its sig
~nifcance lies IN the TACT that 1t Was
the sixth IRE of the same kind IN the
same place, about the same hour of
The morning in the past year and q
half.
The fire record of PIC washington
street begins in fact with May .. 1908,
when there was a slight blaze. due,
il is believed, to a spark from an auto
ire engine. The loss YVES trltiing, and
the fire department attaches nc impor-
tance to that one. Here is the record,
though, which has aroused suspicion:
June %. 1909-Fire in cellar, cause
unknown.
November 10, 19O9-Flre in cellar, cause
unknown, loss trifing. DeoIis WIS
found scattered through the ce lar in Il
manner to be especially dangerous In
case of fire.
January 10, l910-Fire in cellar, loss
small. cause unknown.
June ., 1910-Fire in cellar. cause I'M
known, 5000 damage.
A note attached to the record of this
fire on the date kept by c. Albert
Gasser, head of the bureau OF combus-
tibles and fire risks, says: No do bit
this place has been set repeatedly on
ire-reported to Captain Carroll and
Chief Corbitt."
November 10. 1910-Fire under same
circumstances. Record calls it a sup
posed ~incendiary" blaze.
Insurance Refused.
No suspicion attaches to any of the
members of the firm of Herman & Co
IN account of these fires. The various
fires have made their business such an
u%ninviting risk that they have been
unable TO get any insurance.
The alarm from PIG Washington
street this morning came in at 5;43
O'Clock. There is a burglar alarm con
pection with the place to the headquar-
ters of the Newark District Telegraph
Company, 1872 Market street, and when
the gong sounded there a man hustled
over at once to the place indicated. He
found the cellar door forced open and
d brisk fire in the cellar. The salvage
corps was summoned, but they thought
that the job was too big a one fol
them to handle and an alarm was sent
in. The fire was extinguished with q
loss of about $500.

LOCKED UP IN
ASYLUM d YEARS
ALTHOUGH SANE
War Veteran Seeking Liberation
Says Wife Caused His Commit.
ment to Draw Pension.

JERSEY CITY, Feb. s4.-victor
Klingsoehr, a captain in the Federal
army during the Civil War. now a
broken old man of SO, who makes his
home at Rutherford, has just made the
charge through friends hat he was I'M
justly kept in Snake Hill Insane Asy-
lum for nearly forty years, While others
collected and illegally used his pension.
Although he Was released from the
asylum IN 1909 after the death of his
wife. he has just managed to get his
case to the attention of the courts.
Railronded ON Return Home.
K~lingsoehr vas promoted for gallan-
try inc a pension of $40 a month was
awarded to him.. On his return home,
however, he found he was not welcome,
n finally he was railroaded to the
asylum, he declares. For a time he
was kept in Morris Plains. Then he
was transferred to Snake Hill. During
the forty years his wife never went to
see him once. Even his two sons were
kept from calling on him by their moth
er. who told them that a sight of them
would make their father violent.
Not until the death of the wife was
the captain released. His two sons,
Walter and Paul, now grown men liv-
ing In Plainfield, are both said to be
convinced their father never was in
sane. A suit has been started to re-
claim property bought by the wife with
the captains pension money. The case
vii come up for q hearing in this city
on Monday.

FLAMES PREVENT
RESCUE Of MEN
IN l,l]0-FO0J MINE
Scores of Volunteers Beaten
Back and Worst Is Feared
for Imprisoned Miners.

TONOPAH, New, Feb. 24.-With
smoke and flames bursting from the
three compartments of the main shaft
of the Belmont mine, which has been
burning since yesterday, it was inn
possible today for rescuers to reach
men known to be imprisoned more than
], 100 feet below the surface.
In one of the shafts the bodies of
twelve men were counted by a rescuer.
who risked his W life trying to aid
his comrades. Far back in another
compartment it is believed there are
men still alive. If these men are able
to break the pipe which supplies air
to all the compartments 1t is believed
they can survive until the fire is sub
dued, although there Is peril Of suffo-
cation by smoke.
The fire started in the timber yards
of the mine, and within a few seconds
flames were shooting up the airshafts.
A large number of men were employed
in the 1,166-foot level. AT the cry of
fire a rush was made for elevator
buckets. Each man was for himself,
and the stronger got into the lifts and
were raised to the open. Those unable
to get to the buckets fell and died as
smoke and flames reached them.
Scores. Volunteer.
When 1t was known there were live
men at the bottom OF the pit scores
volunteered for rescue work. .As the
rescuers were lowered down the shafts
1t seemed to those on the surface that
they were going to certain death.
The first four men who were lowered
were drawn back unconscious from
smoke and badly burned. Then four
others tried. only to become insensible.
All the while noxious gases poured
from the openings. almost sitting those
on the surface.
Unless the fire can be subdued In a
few hours there Is little hope for the
men believed to be huddled in the
further end of the mine.

II the action taken by the officers
Of the Broad and Market National
Bank proves successful Newark will
become a reserve city and will, It is
estimated, carry $40. 000. 900 more In
bank deposits every year.

ent, the question of making Newark a.

a 10 per cent. reserve of their deposits.
6 per cent. in their own bank and .
per cent. IN a reserve bank. The local
men want to make Newark a reserve
city and keep all the State money and
O. lot of outside money right here IN
the city.
Three Central Reserve Cities.
ANY city that has a population of
over $4,000 can be made a reserve city
providing that three-fourths of the ma
tlonal banks in the city make appli-
cation to the national comptroller.
There are three central reserve cities
In the country, Chicago, st. Louis and
New York. Newark will not come I'M
der the central class, but will be
listed among reserve cities IL the &C.
ton taken by the bank presidents to-
day is in accor with the ideas of the
Broad n Market men.
A letter inviting the bank presi-
dents to meet this afternoon was sent
out on the 18th of this month and sets
forth the reasons for making Newark a
reserve city. 1t tells that the city has
grown and points u the advantages
to the city and the State by making

CUBAN REVOLUTION
 PROVES A FARCE

Havana. August 3.-General Ace edo, who endeavored to start revo lution at Reglia Monday night, sur- rendered this afternoon to Governor Asbert in the town of Santa Maria Del Rosaria, a short distance south of Ha- vana in the vicinity of which he had been hiding. He was brought back 10 Havana and placed in jail to await the action of the civil court against him.
 When he arrived here Acevedo made an extra ordinary statement to the ef- feet that several days ago he was re- quested to go to a certain place in the vicinity of Guanamabacoa, where he met a party of armed men, mostly ne- groes. He said they threatened hiin with death unless he promised to lead them in a movement against the gov ernment Having exacted this promise, the party disappeared and Acevedo said he was so Frightened that he took to the woods for the purpose of hiding from them. He said he had never been in the vicinity of Luyano, where Man tel Narango; a truck farmer, was mur dered Monday night by band. the au- thorities believed, to have been Ave vedo's revolters.
 Acevedo protested his loyalty to the government and expressed himself as greatly relieved at being assured of protection against alleged revolutions : is ts whom he met near Guanama bacoa. Apparently he is in the last stages of tuberculosis, and there Is little doubt that he is mentally deranged. The gov ernment considers Acevedos story in- credible, and regard him as not being responsible for his actions

MEXICO WILL HAVE
 THREE NOMINEES

1 Mexico City, August 3.-Three men will be nominees for the presidency of Mexico if followers of Emile Vasquez Gomez. dismissed yesterday from the cabinet of President De La Barra, are successful in securing his acceptance. He has not yet consented to run, but there is little doubt that he will do SO.
 Meanwhile it appears not improbable that Dr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez, the brother of the former minister, will Le nothing more than private citizen, rotwth standing that he is now the nominee for the vice presidency on the Madero ticket. It is well known that his relations with Madero are strained and it will be no surprise if fe declines to make the race. It is expected that before the end of the week he will resign as minister of public instruction.
 As a running mate for Emilio Vas e.uez Gomez, his partisans suggest Jesus Flores Magon, lawyer or the cap ital.
 Gen. Barnardo Reyes, who returned late last night from Tehuacan, where he conferred with Madero. stated that he did not know who would be the nominee for the vice presidency on his ticket, adding that it would be the man the people selected"
 A fresh revolution appeared today. to be a vanishing menace, but the gov ernment continues to watch the dis affected element and troops garrisoned in the suburbs have been brought into the city. The order to suppress with al energy" any disorder is still in ef- feet.
 General Reyes stated that he be- lieved the electorate contest between him and Madero would be conducted peacefully, adding that if he thought il would result in more bloodshed he would retire from the race and leave the country

bAUGH HAS EYES ON PITCHER HILL

Anniston, August 3.-(Special. .)-Presi- dent Baugh of the Birmingham Southern league club was In Anniston this after noon to witness the game between the Models and Ben Towards bunch from Selma. He stated that the immediate object of his visit was to watch Hill Annston's no-hit twirler. This was not Hill'S day to work, however, and he was disappointed in this respect. He spoke very highly of the work of Nelson who was on the mound again and Rob irson and of Wasem, the local left gardener, who is running neck and neck with Chancey of Selma for the league batting honors. He regards Wasem as very fast.
 It is believed that he had come over to close up deal for Dr. Mag Robinson, the former Baron, but he denied this and President Howard of Selma said this evening that he will not release Robinson As matter of fact, President Baugh was more pleased with the work of Nel- son than he was with Robinsins Man ager Fisher stated today that he has his hooks out for another pitcher, Bless ing, who was secured from Billy Smith, having gone home today. Another item Of sporting interest today was the an nouneement in a personal letter to Dr. l.. l.. Scarborough by President c. H.. Mitchell of the local club that he will return to Anniston and finish out the season as head of the local club. He is now in Chicago. He had resigned as manager of the Alabama hotel and as president Of the local ball club, but he will retain both positions as a result of lis visit north
