House.
SO. ORANGE BELLE LEADS
FIREMEN IN PERILOUS FEAT
Sits on Ledge and cooIIy Plays
Extinguishers on

Surprising the firemen with hes
daring, Miss Eleanor Carey. "a society
belle or the Oranges, climbed from
third-story window out on the roof
OF the home of William B. Baird. 144
Ralston avenue, South Orange, and
from her precarious perch trained a
ire extinguisher upon a volcanic
chimney fire.
Her efforts. supplemented later by
the entire South Orange fire departs
ment, saved the house from destruc-
tion.
Miss Carey, who is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Willis L. Carey, of
lo4 Ralston avenue, saw the flames
shooting from the Baird home at $3.50
last evening.
A still alarm was telephoned to
fire headduarters. When Chief WILL
lam NJ. Ash heard that the fire was
only chimney blaze he decided that
he and two firemen would be abla
to cope with it.
When he reached the house, how-
ever. the flames were shooting from
the roof.
Leader for Firemen.
Miss Carey was waiting for the
firemen.
Come with me-" she said to one OF
them. II know where they keep
fire extinguisher."
She found the extinguisher, handed
1t to the fireman and darted up to
the third-hoor attic
Put up that window she COM
manded. "and I'll get out on the
roof"
Without an instant's hesitation. she
clambered out onto the slanting
shingle roof. She crawled to the ride-
board and, astride of it, she worked
her way over to the blaze
Bryan Lee, another member of the
younger set and wealthy resident
of Ralston avenue, fought his way
through the smoke to the attic and
followed Miss Carey out on the roof.
Chief Ash had ordered a general
alarm by that time. The fire-flghting
! force, as soon as it arrived, relieved
Miss Carey and her companions.
| Only the servants were at home
when the fire broke out. Mr.. and Mrs,
Baird arrived while the fire was bes

MANY LAKE SHIPS
L0ST;;DEATH TOLL
OF STORM GROWS
Bodies Washed Ashore Lead to
Identity of Liners Which
Went Down.

PORT HURON. Mich. Nov. H.
Although many vesselmen are firm in
their belief that the steamer which
turned turtle in Lake Huron. a few
miles northeast of here. during the
big gale. is the ill-fated steamer Re
gina. of the Merchants Transporta-
tion Company, of Toronto, others are
equally convinced this forenoon that
she is not. 1t is regarded certain,
however. that the Regina went down
during the storm.
The tug Sport, with diver aboard,
left this forenoon to attempt to
identify the overturned vessel. II
the diver can work in the sea, which
is still high, it is expected definite
information soon will be obtained.
The revenue cutter Morrill, and
members Of the life saving crew are
still standing by the wreck.
The difference of opinion concern
ing the identity of the overturned
vessel is due to the fact that the
overturned hull of the mysterious
vessel is reported as being black, and
the Regina Is said to have had a
green bottom.
An official representing the owners
of the Regina has visited the scene
of the wreck and he does not be-
l1eye that 1t is his vessel A theory
borne by many is that there was n
collision between the unidentified
vessel and the Regina, that the
former went over Immediately. while
the Regina crew abandoned her and
took TO lifeboats. Those who adj
here TO this belief think that the
wreck of the Regina will be found in
another place.
The wreck of the Regina was con-
firmed yesterday when ten bodies
were found strewn on the beach at
the little Canadian fishing village of
Port Franks, thirty miles northeast
of Sarnia.
A short distance up shore was found
a lifeboat. lying on its side, contain
ing two dead men. The lifeboat car
ried the name Regina and scattered
along the beach was other wreckage
and cargo identified as that of the
Regina.
Shortly after the discovery of the
victims of the Regina wreck the
wrecked and burned steamer North

be nominated for ambassador to Rus
sia, and the recently-published cor
respondence which was alleged to
have passed between him and Senator
Lewis will not influence the Presi-
dents decision. Secretary Bryan to-
day issued this statement:
''The ambassadorship TO Russia IS
vacant and the President has tor
some time been desirous of filling II
by an appointment which would be-
entirely worthy of the great dignity
and Importance of the post. Knowing
Mr.. Pindell personally, his character.
his ability, his exceptional fitness for
the duties of such place, he offered
him the appointment.
"AIr. Pindell did not seek the ap-
pointment. II was rendered him
without any solicitation on his part,
not only, but without any knowledge
or anticipation on his part that it
would be offered TO him. In response
to the offer he frankly stated that he
would be glad to serve the adminis-
tration in any way in which the Pres
ident thought he could serve it sue
cessfully, but that he did not feel
that he could conscientiously obligate
himself to serve the full ordinary
term of a foreign appointment, be-
cause he did not feel that he could
leave his business SO long. The Pres
ident asked him to accept 1t for as
long time as he could stay and he
consented
This is a full statement of a mat
ter which has been grossly misrepre-
sented The President will not allow
malicious representations to interfere
with his right TO nominate to the SEN
ate the best qualified men within his
choice for conspicuous and RESPONSE
BILE positions"
Mr.. Bryan in making public his
statement declared the Pindell inoi-
dent closed.
