STALLED CROWDS WATCH
BIG FIRE FROM BRIDGE
Three Explosions Scatter Chem.

VandeWater Street.
BLAZE FOUGHT FROM SPAN
First Sign of Flames Came When
Store Front of Structure
Suddenly Blew
Out.

| Hundreds Of persons were attracted tc
spectacular fire at Nos. 10 and IL
Vandewater street last night. when
! traffic on the surface cars of Brooklyn
! Bridge and along Park Row was
stopped Reserves from half dozen
police stations were called TO keep the
crowd from hampering the firemen in
| their work.
Chief Kenlon said after the fire had
been extinguished that II 1t hadn't been
for the bridge. where the men were able
10 do the most effective work, II would
be hard to tell how far the fire might
have spread. 1T was a fine balcony
said the chief, and We were able TO
conquer the blaze after about two hours
OF work.
With three loud explosions the fire
started on the ground floor Of the build
ing occupied by Lewis Roberts, manu-
facturer of printing ink. The explosion
blew out the whole front part of the
store. The roar was heard at the Vol
unteer Hospital, only a block away, and
DR.. Watson and DR.. Savage hurried to
the fire, while Dr.. Ferguson and Dr.
Schultz went through the hospital quiet
ing the twenty patients.
When Deputy Chief King arrived at
the blaze the entire building was a mass
OF flames Immediately he sent In two
more alarms Chief Kenlon. who hod
been fighting a fire at Murray end
1aI h. r. ,irl
alarm He quickly sent in a fourth.
Realizing that it would be impossible
TO fight the fire to any advantage from
the Vandewater street side the Chief
sent fire engine companies up on the
bridge. In about a half hour the fire
was under control
Although a number of the iremen
were overcome by smoke, none had TO be
treated. and after getting some fresh air
ali were able to resume their work. Cap
tain Timothy Crowley. of Engine Com
pany 81, led number Of his men up the
fire escape, and as they reached the
fourth floor they were caught by back
draft. The men escaped injury, but
Captain Crowley's scalp was ripped open
by flying glass. He was not seriously
hurt.
The fire started at $50 ,'clock, and
Edward Berry. Of No. 10 City Hall Place
sent In the alarm. The building is
seven story structure and is occupied by
a dozen or more manufacturing con-
Germs.
Last nights fire is the second that has
occurred In the building within the last
two years, according to Chief Kenlon. 1t
was the opinion that the explosions were
dIe to barrels of ink and ingredients
us,..i in the Manufacture OF ink.
At one time II looked as II the fire
would spread to adjoining structures
steady streams were played on the ad-
ioining building. occupied by the Ault &
Wiborg Company. as there was much
inf,ammable material in there.

bate will probably run on for many days,
as those who voted for him desire to ex-
nress their attitude and the reasons for
their action and those who are opposed to
him are also prepared to make the issue
clear. even though there IL no doubt that
their views will prevail
Senator Lorimer declined to discuss his
nIans an, went no further than to say he
would fight to the end. He conferred with

Oyster Bay, Long Island. June g.
After an all-day conference with
George W. Perkins, Clifford Pinchot.
William l.. Ward, Frank B. Kellogg,
Roosevelt trust buster; Senator Dix
on and others. ex-President Roosevelt
dictated statement for the reporters
at Sycamore Hill in which he declared
that Mr.. Root must not be selected as
temporary chairman Of the Chicago
convention.
1T is a question of absolute duty OF
every Progressive Republican to oppose
the selection as temporary chairman Of
any man put forward in the interests Of
the supporters of Mr.. Taft in this con-
test" he said. Mr.. Root stands as the
representative Of the men and the pol
icies Of reaction; he Is put forward by
the bosses and representatives. of special
privilege"
The colonel insisted that the majority
of the Republican party had repudiated
Mr.. Taft and If the voters were per-
mitted to give fair expression of their
views Mr.. Taft would not have a cor
porars guard in the convention.
Under these circumstances" he said.
'it Is fitting that Mr.. Barnes should be
chosen TO lead the Taft forces at Chi
cago"
Colonel Roosevelt displayed great con-
Germ about the influence of Barnes over
the national committee. He charged
that Barnes was trying to kidnap Roose-
welt delegates and "frustrate the will OF
the people"
Il do not believe. however" the ex-
President declared. that the national
| committee, as a whole, will follow the
| lead of Mr.. Barnes and his allies"
The colonePs declaration of war on
| Senator Root follows:
In the past Mr.. Root has rendered dis
| tinSulshed service as Secretary OF State
| and Secretary OF War. But in this contest
| Mr.. Root ranged himself against the men
who stand for progressive principles within
| the Republican party, that is against the
| men who stand for making the republican
| party in relation TO the issues Of the pres
| ent day what II was In the DAYS Of Abra-
| ham Lincoln. He stands as the representa-
! tive OF the men and the policies of reaction
| He is put forward by the bosses and the
| representatives of special privileges.

dry and was not his answer that he
did not SO know. And was not the
mayor then asked if he had so known
would he have approved OF the do
nation and did he not reply that he
would not have so approved. Is not
this a matter of record?
Did not the board through its pres
ident admit that they had not been
frank with council in the matter OF
the business affairs of the hospital
and did they not promise to be frank
in the future. Where in its report to
council and the people has it been
shown what the average cost per pa
tient per day is. whereby compari-
sons can be made with other hospit-
ais of standard position? Where has
1t been stated as to the salary account
of its officers other than that of the
bookkeeper? Why not make this mat
ter plain in order to compare with
other hospitals that have the same
amount of work or the same amount
of patients? Why hide these matters
that the people are entitled to know?
How can council know the facts as to
the business of the hospital unless
the facts are given to it? How can it
intelligently act as to appropriations
| unless it has the facts and an oppor-
tunity to make comparisons?
The mayor makes broad and reck-
less statements as to other doctors
| fair to call before council the doctors
and meet them face to face. l am sure
that not many will refrain from meet
| ing him and council. There was a
| day when the opportunity was given
| but the mayor was sick as he stated
| to some and had little regard for the
value of his own word by offering to
prove that he really was sick. To
others he gave another version as to
why he was not there to meet the doc
tors before council and the board of
! trustees of Reid Memorial hospital.
! Now again he makes a crack
against his fellow professionals, but
will he ask them to meet him before
council and point out those that he
indirectly condemns?
Three thousand dollars is a good
/
when the city treasury is by no means
plethoric.
He who condemns the hospital as
a proper place to take the sick under
any circumstances has little concep
ton of the modern and ideal service
to the patient. He who would criti
else bad management and inadequate
opportunities to care for the sick con
tributes public favor. Has the may
or ever suggested a business plan OF
put his shoulder to the wheel of pro
gress in the care of the sick at the
hospital? Does he now know what
the financial conditions of it are? Il
he does not, what feature of business
like administration is exhibited in the
recommendation to give for the cur
rent year $4,000.

MADAM! IF YOU DON'T FEEL RIGHT
TAKE DELICIOUS SYRUP OF FIGS"
Waste-clogged bowels, torpid liver and decayng food
in stomach the sick headache, gas, back
ache, salowness, bousness and indigestion.

All women get bilious. headachy
and onstipated-simply because they
don't exercise enough. They don't eat
coarse food, or enough fruit and green
vegetables. Those are natures ways
of keeping the liver and thirty feet
of bowels active; but very few women
employ them. The next best way is
delightful, fruity Syrup of Figs.
Nearly all ills of women can be
overcome with Syrup of Figs alone.
There is no need to have sick head
ache, backache, dizziness, stomach
sour and full of gases. bilious spells,
sallowness, coated tongue. bad breath,
bad complexion, nervousness and de-
preston. The surest and safest rem
edy is one or two teaspoonfuls of de-
licious Syrup of Figs. Try this to-
night-you1l feel splendid in the
morning when the sour bile, clogged
