DREXEL POOL HALL rs
THREATENED BY FIRE
Thought That Lighted Cigarette
Thrown Away by Pin Boy
Started Blaze.

Fire OF uncertain origin for time
threatened the Drexel pool hall Fri
day night about seven o'clock, but the
prompt action of the fire department
kept the blaze from spreading and
only small loss resulted.
1t is thought that the fire started
from lighted cigarette thrown away
by one of the pin boys, but it has not
yet been determined.
The place is owned by Commission
er Thomas p Gray, who leases the
hall to Roy Martin. Most Of the fire
was upstairs in the bowling alleys
but the paper on the wall on the first
floor is badly damaged. Commission
er Gray said yesterday afternoon that
the loss would probably be about $3.50
LIT is covered by insurance.

authoritative Announcement Z Made
That Iowa Senator viii Sup
port the Mat
ter.
POSSIBLE CHANCE NOW
e.-.lv Possible That Measure viii
Be- Passed Yet by Senate But
Not by House This
Session.

That senator Cummirs, of Iowa, not
onlv does not object to the charter
which the Inter-City Bridge company
( seeking from congress but will sup
hort the measure when it is again
brought before the senate, is ANNOUNCE
id with authority.
Senator Cummins within the last
few days has personally fully explain
ed the position he took in the matter
when he temporarily blocked passage
81 the bill in the senate. He at that
time asked for time in which to look
INTO the bill, explaining that he was
not fully advised as to it. Through a
series of circumstances the matter
had not been presented to Senator
cummins and naturally ne wished to
examine the measure.
Senator Cummins has advised one
Or two slight changes In the wording
Of the bill as 1t was presented in the
senate and it is possible that the
bill will be brought before the SEN
ate on Monday either by Senator Gull
iom of Illinois, or Senator Kenyon, Of
Iowa, and If unanimous consent is
obtained it will probably be passed.
I However, because Of the illness OF
Senator Cullom, the press OF other
measures upon Senators Cummins and
Kenyon and the few remaining days
of the session, 1t Is probable that the
BILL will go over.
Authoritative explanation Is also
made as to the action of the house
committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce in agreeing not to report
either the Tnter-City bridge bill or
the Marsh bridge bill at this session.
The committee decided not to take up
these matters because of the press
Of time on other measures Of national
Importance.
However, thu attitude OF the house
an. senate committees and the leg.
islators who have spoken on the sub.
1ect has been 80 favorable that the
bill is expected to pass at the coming
special session or the next December
session and the bridge will be immed
lately ready for commercial trafic.

of Mr. Klein, fortunately striking him
on the leg. The hook caught and the

Several men who witnessed the sen.
sational rescue climbed down posts

body. He was held there until a

Klein's side and later he was taken
ashore.
1t was not until some time after his
son and several of tie amateur rod

Mr.. Klein suffered pain as result
Of the fish hook which caught in his
leg when Landry threw the lucky line.
The hook was deeply imbedded in the

BIG RATHER CHARMS CHILD
Little Girl WrissIed and Squirmed
Like Snake Until the Reptile
Was Killed.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-Charmed by a
big rattlesnake three feet long with
nine rattles, Helen, the three-year-old
daughter of Andrew Lahey of Armenia,
near here, who was snatched from
the reptile by her mother the other
day, has caused much establishment to
the residents of that section by her
strange actions. The little child wrig-
gled and squirmed about like snake
and it was not until the reptile was
put to death by the father of the child
that the little girl stopped squirming
and returned to her normal condition
She was not bitten by the snake.
For several days the mother of the
little girl noticed that the youngster
played around stone door step in
front OF the house and disliked being
taken away from the spot Finally
the mother noticed the baby playing
IN the same place and talking to some
one. Creeping up behind the baby
Mrs. Lahey was astonished to find
that her little girl was bent over talk
ing to an object under the STEP Sc
curing an iron bar Mrs. Lahey lifted
up the stone to ascertain the attrac-
ton of the baby and much to her hor-
ror she discovered huge RATHER
coiled up under the step. Snatchipg
the child and screaming for help Mrs.
Lahey attracted the attention of her
husband and he killed the snake Im-
mediately after the reptile was put to
death the little girl recovered her nor
NAL condition.

Extravaaance Rebuked.

Two bachelors live together in a
fiat on East Nineteenth street. They
kid themselves into thinking that they
save rent and board and clothes and
gain freedom and a lot of other
things by so doing. But the collector
comes to them the same as he does
to married folk
The other morning one of the
bachelors awoke from sound sleep
and called to the other:
What was that noise I heard?"
"a shot," replied the other, from
the hall.
What did you do?"

GETTING AROUND 1T NEATLY
Peculiarly Subtle Way in Which Girl
Softened the Force of Her
Stern Rebuke.

Foolishly he asked her for kiss;
naturally she said no." bravely he
took it, anyway; angrily she put him
away; scornfully she told him what
she thought of such action, and meek
ly he stood for the same old bluff.
Il am surprised and mad at you!"
she said, and she looked every bit OF
1t. Il don't think gentleman would
do such a thing; and now, if you are
going to stay here this evening,
don't want you even to touch me, but
let us sit here and talk like sensible
people"
Thoroughly cOwed, he agreed.
Seeing, however, that she had car
ried her little bluff too far and he
was taking her seriously, she made
use of a bright idea.
will you promise to be good now?"
she asked.
Yes"
well, let's shake on it,
Solemnly they shook hands.
Now" she said, with a cunning
and meaning little twinkle in her eye.
