HOOKS" Get CUP FROM
STATEN ISLAND FIRE co.

AS their last token of friendship
as a volunteer fire company to the
Protection Hook and Ladder Com
pany, No. |, of Perth Amboy, the
Defender Hook and Ladder No. z,
of West New Brighton, Staten 1s-
land, presented them with a silver
cup, as a lasting remembrance after
January /, when the company will
be taken over by the City Of New
York, and be in the paid service, at
a special meeting called to revive
the present last night.
The motive for the presentation
was because of the number of times
the local company has been the host
to the Staten islanders. At the re-
cent firemen's parade the Defenders
were guests of the Protection com
pany. A delegation bearing the cup,
which stands fourteen inches high,
and is of silver, came by three auto
mobiles.
Foreman George Smith of the De-
fender company made the presenta-
ton speech and the handsome re-
membrance was placed on the table
OF President E. H. Dilts, by Presi-
dent William Barwick, of the De-
tenders. President Dilts then made
a speech of acceptance. Refresh
ments were served.

FAMILY AWAKENED BY
SMOKE ESCAPE FROM
THEIR BLAZING HOME
Blacksmith Shop
Of Frank Huda
Is Saved.
BARN Is LOSS

The home of Paul Coll, over the
blacksmith shop of his brother-in-
law, Era Huda, at 469 Division
Street, narrowly escaped being gutted
by fire, when a barn and stable were
demolished by flames a few yards
away about II: is O'Clock last night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coll and family were
routed from their beds by the fire,
which burned part Of the roof and
caught the side of the house. They
rushed into a neighboring house and
expected to see their home in ashes
this morning, but while they were
away the quick work of the McClel-
Ian and Lincoln Engine and Protec-
ton fire companies prevented the de-
struction OF the building.
Three horses belonging to A. Gold
man and a cow, owned by Morris
Fogel, of ACT Division street, who
owned the barn and stable, were bad
,ly scorched and narrowly escaped
death This is said to be the third
fire at the barn in the last three
smonths. About two months ago a
horse was SO badly burned that 1t
had to be shot. The damage Is esti-
mated as $500, covered by insurance.
Z The alarm was turned In at box
s62, and the origin of the fire is still
"a mystery. Most of the residents
were asleep when little after II
O'Clock they saw the bright light
from the burning barn and stable.
The barn was stocked with dry feed,
and added to the rapidity OF the
flames.
An auto delivery wagon belonging
to A. Goldman, was rescued from a
shed nearby, in a badly damaged
state The shed was demolished,
catching from the barn.
Joseph Huda in leading his sister
and her children from the apartments
over the blacksmith shop, in his hur-
ry, rammed his right hand through
window pane. 1t was severely cut.

Progressive party IN his speech to-
day, the chief event Of roday's con-
ference of party leaders. He Insist
ed that the Progressive party had
come to stay. He pleaded that its
representatives in both congress and
state Legislatures try to carry into
effect a Progressive legislative pro-
gram, especially that which would
provide for federal supervision Of
the trusts and industrial justice for
women and children.

tory accomplished in such length
Of time The i;nmediate work of
principles as outlined in the plat
form by appropriate legislation" he
said. Direct primaries were urged
by the colonel. The various prob
lens of rural life were enumerated
by Roosevelt, as the great problem
requiring immediate solution.
Farm financing he said would
never receive the consideration
which it deserves, but the greatest
field for farmer corporations will be
in marketing their products which
process now costs them and the con-
sumer very dearly.

local and national we may trust the
events of the next year or two to
develop the best men for every posi-
ton The leaders must be chosen
not in the least in reference TO his
own desires, bat solely with regards
to the needs of the people. No man
