WAS OVERCOME
BY THE SMOKE
Member of Eagle Hose and
Chemical Company Carried
from Burning Building.
FIRE SATURDAY NIGHT
Flames Damage Prospect
Street House--Firemen Have
Disagreement Over hydrant
FIRE SATURDAY NIGHT

Hans Petersen, member of Eagle
Hose and Chemical Company, was
rendered unconscious by smoke and
had to be carried from the burning
building at the fire which gutted the
home of Ralph Notaro, at 800 Pros
pect street, about $50 o'clock Sat
urday night. He regained con-
scfousness, however, in a short time,
and before the flames had been ex-
tlnguished was again fighting the
blaze.
Isaac j. Germs occupied the first
floor of the two story house and his
furniture was saved by the firemen,
the flames having originated on the
second floor. Ali the furniture and
household goods of Notaro were de-
stroyed on the second floor, and the
house which he owns, badly dam
aged. The total damage is estimat-
ed at $1,000. 1t Is understood the
building was insured.
When the firemen first arrived, on
being summoned by the alarm from
fire box GA at Smith street and Wat
son avenue, there seemed to be but
a little fire, though there was much
smoke coming from the building.
Chief William p O'Hara made his
way through the first floor, up the
stairs to the second, where he found
smoke coming from between the
partitions. A chemical tank was
handed him from the Eagle COM
pany's hose wagon, and its supply of
liquid was exhausted. When Mr..
OHara asked for another tank of
chemicals he was told that the other
extinguisher of the Eagle company
was out of order. The chief then
resorted to the only means for ex-
tinguishing the f1ames-that of put
ting water on them. He had the
hremen move the furniture of Isaac
Germs from the first floor.
Soon after water was applied it
seemed as If the partitions of the
upper story of the frame house had
been red hot and only waiting to be
famed into bright blaze The
whole second floor seemed to belch
forth flames, and for a time, dou-
BILE, two and one-half story house
near the burning building was threat
ened. The flames were gardual-
ly gotten under control, after sew
eral streams of water had been
played on the burning building.
Firemen Disagree.
Disagreement over possession of
a hydrant caused some trouble be-
tween the Eagle Hose and Chemical
Company members and members of
the Lincoln Engine Company. Both
companies reached the plug nearest
the first about the same time and
both claimed the right to make con-
nect1on with the hose of their re-
spective compan. Much showing and
pushing resulted. Fire Chief o.
Hara stated this morning that he
thought it was an uncommendable
occurrence and the matter would
be thoroughly Investigated. Some
delay was caused in getting water on
the fire by the disagreement of the
fremen. No one in the building at
the time the fire originated could
give any cause Of the fires origin.

Huerta Still Ruler.

Mexico Cny, oct, zt.-Ihe opera
bouffe election In Mexico City leaves
Dictator Huerta still ruler Of the coun-
the people can be counted, which pro-
cess may require several weeks 1t Is
believed that a sufficient number not
having voted to make the election legal,
1t will be declared void and Huerta
continued In power pending another
election.
The capital became greatly excited
when 1t was heard here that General
Dfaz, who Joined with General Huerta
last February in the murderous fight.
Ing In the streets of this city which
led to the overthrow and ultimate
Staying of Francisco l. Madero and
Pine Suarez, had been arrested In Vera
Cruz.
1t is said that General Diaz Is being
brought here nominally still free
agent, but surrounded by an escort"
Of soldiers. The Felicitas, as the Diaz
partisans are known, fear that the es-
cort is a pretext to invoke the ley fuga
should he make single incautious
move.
Small gatherings at the street eEE ,
ners have been quickly dispersed, and
no general demonstration has been
made. Rtoting is feared, and the nres-
idential palace is guarded by troops
and machine guns
AS whole the country has been
quiet since the polls opened. The early
returns indicate that not enough votes
have been cast to make the elections
valid and that General Huerta will re-
main president ad interim until he
deems 1t advisable to call for new
elections.
OF the candidates on the four tickets
openly In the field Diaz appears to be
leading, especially in the north and
the ports. Along the northern border
there was practically no voting. At
Piedras Negras, d constitutional strong
hold, the polls were not opened and
the few soldiers and citizens in the
streets were driven into their homes
by cold rainstorm.
Near the army headquarters In Pie
dras Negras poster was pasted up
reading: "Yictoriano Huerta. Willie
Grape Juice. Woodrow Bluff" The
authorities allowed 1t to remain up.
Apathy Over Election.
At Juarez several hundred votes were
cast. Diaz receiving majority. Gen
eral Jose Salazar appeared there soon
after the polls were opened and then
with TOO cavalry began reconnois-
sance to the south. There is no voting
for state officials III chihuahua. it Is
reported, because disorders there have
caused the military governor to post
pone them for month.
Here in the capital the most notice
able thing was the manifestation of
apathy over the election. The vote
was very light In twelve precincts
where 1,005 voters were registered only
fifty nine ballots had been cast The
band was playing, and there was the
usual throng In the streets, but they
listless until the rumor reach
ed here that Diaz had been arrested.
So far as appeared on the surface
there was no Interference or coercion
pracdced on the few voters who went
to the polls In the capital.
