ONE FIREMAN HURT AT
STUBBORN LOFT FIRE
Cuts Artery in Leg When He
Trips Over a Cloth Machine
Damage 100000.

One Of the most stubborn three-alarm
fires in many months, which caused
more than a dozen firemen TO stagger
backward again and again. baffied by
clouds of dense smoke, took place last
night in the eight story loft building
at Nos. 179 and ISL Wooster street.
After fighting for almost four hours,
being forced 10 work in relays on &C
count Of the choking smoke fumes, the
firemen finally gained control Of the
fire, the damage being confined TO the
first three floors.
A crowd of more than fifty thousand
persons gathered TO watch the blaze,
and II required the services of the re-
serves from three police stations TO
maintain working room for the fire
fighters. The damage TO the building
and stock is estimated at about Sl3O,-
90.
The fire was discovered about 6
o'clock by employees working in the
factory of the Perfect Patent Box Com
pany, on the ground floor. The en-
ployes made a vain attempt to put out
the flames with hand eXtinguishers.
BY the time the alarm was sent in the
second and third floors were enveloped
in flames. and Battalion Chief Weber,
who had responded on the first alarm.
turned in a second. This brought Act
ing Chief Martin, and he. because Of
the nature of the buildings in the
neighborhood. sent in the third call.
At least twenty streams of water
were poured into the burning building.
For once the high pressure service
seemed to have little effect on the
flames. While Battalion Chief Weber
was feeling his way along the second
floor he tripped and fell over cloth
cutting machine. severing an artery in
his left leg He staggered 10 window,
slid down a scaling ladder and fell on
the sidewalk After Or. Refs. Of the
Fire Department, had attended his
wound the chief continued at his duty.
Acting Fire Marshal De Malignon said
he would conduct a rigid investigation
into the cause of the fire.

Princes Of Wales had been selected.and

isn't bit more tickled over the pros
pect than Connaught himself The
duchess did express one wish, ana that
was that she be permitted to name
her own trainbearers, but the lord
chamberlain courteously informed her
that she would be relieved Of this re-
spensibility, Queen Maud Of Norway,
King Georges sister, had already be-
spoken one place for her son, the
Crown Prince Olaf and there was a.
host Of little Tecks and Battenbergs
from whom Queen Mary would make
selections.
The bride also has had practically
nothing to do with the selection Of her
uousseau. Paris gowns we're barred

that princesses must support home tn
dustries To avoid domestic jealous

"The department appreciates the
