OLD HAYES MANSION BURNS
Spectacular Bronx Fire-Panlc
in Hospital Near BY.

The old HAYES mansion. a stone build
inC which for years has been one of the
famous landmarks of the Inwood section
of The Bronx. was almost totally destroyed
last night by fire. the cause OF when Is
unknown The building was occupied by
two families who lost practically all their
effects and the loss on the building is esl-
mated to be 81 5000.
The fire was discovered little before
10 o'clock by Sister Gertrude, of the House
of Mercy. a few hundred yards north of the
mansion. She telephoned an alarm, and
fire apparatus started on the long run from
DvcIlman street The fire worked up
through the old house 10 the roof. ana ny
the time the fire fighting force arrived the
blaze had gained such headway that the
structure was doomed. Not only the long
rum but the delay incident to getting the
apparatus near the building, which Is al
the top Of a steep hill allowed the fire time
to sweep up through the entire house
When the apparatus arrived 1T the foot OF
the mill horses had to be taken off the
ladder truck and hitched to the engine TO
pull it TO within striking distance of the
house.
The situation Of the old mansion, on the
prominence overlooking the river permit
ted the flames to bC seen for miles. Resi-
dents of the Washington Heights district
were on housetops watching the fire through
field glasses and people in Englewood,
across the river in Jersey, could see the
flames plainly. The inmates Of the Homo
for Consumptives. which is near by. were
thrown into a panic and those Of the House
Of NIorc, cot their effects packed and ready
TO be moved out in the event of the fire
threatening their safety. The lower part
Of THE mansion was occupied by August
AGolph. his wife and three children, and
the second floor was occupied by the fam
ly Of Frank Trittell The house was owned
by Cornelius Keller.

MCAneny to Clear Sidewalks, as
in Upper Fifth Avenue.
BROADWAY LINE UNIFORM

trict Affected Might Pay
Bent 20 City.

Having cleared up the encroachments
extending out from the building line on
number Of the uptown cross streets and
on some Of the streets south of the City
Hall. Borough President MCAneny Will
introduce al the meeting Of the Board Of
Estimate to-day a resolution asking for
authority TO do away with the enCrOaCh-
ments in Broadway from the Battery 10
Columbus Circle. in Maiden Lane. Nesey
street, Cortlandt street and Dey street
throughout their entire length, and in
Liberty street from Pearl to West street
Among the buildings that would be af-
fected by such action are the Western
Union. the Trinity Building. the New
York Life Building and the Standard Oil
Building.
Observations made by attaches of the
Borough Presidents office show that the
flow of traffic during one hour at various
points along Broadway is as follows:
At Rector street, $500 pedestrians.
$500 vehicles: Fulton street, 1l5000 pc
destrians. 5000 vehicles; Franklin street,
$4,000 pedestrians. $500 vehicles; 9th

Everywhere We have cleared away en-
CroaChments, upper Fifth avenue, 42d
street, 34th street, 22d street and along Ann
street and Park Row downtown said Mr..
McAneny last night. those who use the
streets have been pleased. Along Broad
way downtOwn-that IS, south Of Fulton
street.-the enCroachments are generally
minor things, such as steps down to ground
level stores which start back on the side
walk areaways. small flights of steps up
70 first floor above the ground level, and
that sort of thing"
Mr. McAneny said il was unlikely that
any big wrecking of downtown skysCrarers
that front on Broadway would become
necessary. and even if it was found that
come Of them encroached, If removal of the
encroaching part was impractiCable. he
thought the city might make some rental
arrangement.
The preliminary routine through which
the resolution will pass calls for an eX-
animation by tho Board of Estimates en-
gineer, and that, together with the ap-
proval Of the Board Of Estimate, would
bring the beginning Of actual work around
TO about April /, Mr.. McAneny said.
As to those encroachments which could
not be moved back practically, the Bor-
Cueh President said there would he no dis
position to ask for the impossible. but II
on careful examination and measurement
such cases arose it might be that the city
could arrange to collect rental for the
ground encroached upon from the building
IN nuestion. That would he matter to be
discussed Liter.

LECTURER AND
MILLER CLASH
IN PUBLIC

Things got lively last night
when F. S. Regain of Illinois, fin
ished his speech on 1.-The Fool
Taxpayer" at the First Preshyte-
rian church and County Assessor
Ed Miller jumped on him publicly
saying his allusion to lacal tax
payers left wrong impression.
Regain said a certain taxpayer
was only taxed ON $1,000 per-
sonal property and then he had
this reduced to $4,000 net. An
other person had been assessed
$4,000 but he went up and had
it reduced to $3.50. The T. r.
& P. company he said, according
to the assessors books, which he
had examined yesterday, showed
personal taxes on $3.50. He could
not understand this.
Miller said this was all wrong
on the street railway, that they
paid on several hundred thous-
and. Regain gave the volume and
page of the assessors book where
the record was $3.50.
Miller wanted him to come to
the office and see the true
amount. Regan said he would be
there today and get a lot more
dope for his second lecture at
Mason M. e. church tonight.
I've just got started on Taco
ma taxpayers" he said.
Regan was formerly elected on
the prohibitionist ticket to the
Illinois legislature, but he alluded
to it only incidentally last night,
suggesting that the question of
raising revenues to supplant sa-
loon licenses is easy when the
tax dodgers are brought to time.
Following his lecture tonight
an attempt will be made to form
a taxpayers reform league to go
after tax dodgers and bring them
to time.
