GRAIN ELEVATOR BURNS
Crowds See Destruction of Old
Landmark on the Harlem.
PLATE IRON SIDES RED HOT
Horses Are Rescued-Graln'
Laden Barges Give Place to
Fire Tugs in River.

A chimney seventy-fiye feet high trohi
the ton of which poured tongues OF name
that swayed in the stiff wind over the Ear-
lem River, was what crowds, massed thlch
and black along the bridges over the river
saw when the grain elevator OF William n.
PAYNE e. Son, in the rear of No. 231 East
l29th street, was consumed last night. SlA-
ty thousand bushels of grain In the els-
vator made fine food for the flames. Inc
heart of the fire gowed with such heat
that firemen could scarcely approach tEe
building It's sides were plated with sheet
iron. This plating became red hot. FROM
the fire inside the black elevator turned
to gold and red.
The fire was discovered about 9 40 o'clock
by jeremiah Coleman, a watchman. He
yelled at the top Of his voice, and Sergeant
Kraen. of the East 126th street station
came running, with as many men as his
whistle could summon They got the dozen
horses out of the stable and turned them
loose in the street. An alarm called batai-
lion Chief Andrews. and he rang In sec
ond alarm. which called out more apparatus
and Deputy Chief Mccartney
There were six or seven loaded gram
barges hooked up in the river alongside the
elevator, which were cut adrift ana later
picked up by railroad tugs. Flreooats
steamed UP 10 the wharf and soon poureu
their streams into the blaze
Crowds began TO arrive I'm such NUMBERS
that reserves under Lieutenant Downs had
to be called from the East l26th street
station. The glare could be seen all over
the southern end of The Bronx and Har-
lem. The Second avenue elevated road
was blocked for about twenty minutes.
Father Mclean, the Fire Department
chaplain, arrived soon after the second
alarm was rung in.
The department had hard hght TOT
hours before the flames were subdued' ana
they spread TO several small frame struct-
ures adjoining the elevator. Even after
the fire was declared under control there
was still plenty of grain inside the eieVa-
tor burning fercely, and II was thought
that apparatus would have 10 remain on
the spot all night
The elevator was electrically lighted IN
side. but none of the lights was turned OH
las, night. The cause was not laid to de-
fective wiring. The loss was roughly esu-
mated at about $4,000.

YALE'S WORK IN CHINA
Educator from Orient Tells OF
Awakening There.

More than two hundred members OF the
Yale Club took advantage OF an opportu-
nity last night TO hear of what their COZ
lege had been doing through It's branch
in China during the days Of the revolu-
tion. when Dr. Edward II. Hume. 81. =
member of the Yale College faculty AT
ChanR-sha, China lectured on the subject
AZ the clubhouse, at No 80 West A4th
street,
The revolution, Dr. Hume sand, typihed
the great awakening OF the Chinese peo'
ple along educational lines, for which the
United States was in large way respoh-
sible. The movement, he said. had been
brought about by students, and the great
era Of enlightenment upon which that ma
tion was entering would be directed large
~ by the influence OF the men from this
country who were devoting their time 10
the education OF the Chinese youths the
future leaders of the republic.
"The Yellow Peril Of which we have
heard so much" the speaker said, rs not
a peril Of arms or population. but one or
an economic nature. When the intellectual
revolution which Is now being waged with
the nolitical struggle succeeds in overturn-
ing the conservatism that has retarded
China's progress for centuries and educa-
ton has taken the place of superstition and
ignorance the effect that China, with its
vast natural resources and cheap labor. will
have In the commercial world is incompre-
hensible."
AS proofs OF the enlightenment that has
come TO the people in the last few years
Dr. Hume mentions. among others. their de-
sire for increased railroad facilities. they
being even willing TO sacrifice the burial
grounds Of their ancestors to further their
wish. other elements. he said. that play an
imnortant part in the new order OF things
are their eagerness for modern academic,
scientific and spiritual learning and the
disappearance Of their antipathy toward
