sam Green, a colored hackman
well known in the city, had q narrow
escape from being burned to death
early FRIDAY morning when. his house
on council Street caught fire and was
practlcally destroyed with all of the
furniture and household appurten-
ances.
Green and his two small sons were
IN an up stairs room ASLEEP when the
plasterlng from overhead was falling
on the root OF the bed and on the floor
Oh the room. The room We full of
smoke and overpoweringly not He
seized one of the children and ran to
the door, but when he had opened it
the fames and smoke burst in so
that he was knocked down and near
ly senseless. He struggled back TO
the other side Of the room and at
last FOUND his two children huddled
up In one corner. He then dragged
them TO window, which he succeed
ca IN raising, after several futile eff
forts, and pushed them out on the
shed. He then ran back to get his
ciothes, remembering his money
which he had left in his vest pocket,
and seizing his coat off the chair he
clambered out of the window. From
the shed he climbed down the col
umn to the piazza and assisted his
lNo CulluTtn TO 90 likewise.
Green stated Friday morning that
IL was the most terrible experience
he had ever passed through. He said
tnat ne had been out late, up to one
O'Clock. when he returned home. In
ms vest pocket was eighty-one dol
lars In currency and slightly more
than dollar in silver He had taken
OF his clothes down stairs and when
ne started up to his room ne had talk
en- his coat off the chair, thinking the
vest was with 1t. After the fire he
had searched for the vest, but had
not been able to find it, either down
stairs or elsewhere in the part of the
house which was left. He stated, as
mis- reason for having this large
sum in his pocket, that he had a bill
to pay Friday and had decided not to
put the money in the bank, but to
keep it until then.
Green stated that he did not know
the origin of the fire. 1t had pro-
badly started in his dining room
downstairs. He had a fire in there
when he came home Friday morning
and it was his custom to leave q
light burning in that room, but he
did not remember whether or not
the light was burning when he went
to bed.
Practically all Of the second story
Of the building was burned and all of
the lower floor was badly damaged.
All of the household furniture eX-
cept a china closet and the furniture
In one room was destroyed, includ-
ing q piano.
Green stated Friday that there was
some insurance on the house and
furniture, but not enough to cover
the loss.

There, again, superiority of num-
bers, as well as organization, count
ed; that superiority, which makes a
heavy turning movement possible
while the enemy's front is engaged
In short, the Bulgarians had the
Turks going. They gave the Turks
merical preponderance. in addition to
the dependable courage of their in
fantry to guarantee success.
So there was nothing wonderful
about the strategy of the campaign,
nothing new. nothing startling. The
old principle of the swift turning
movement had been applied TO the sit
uation in hand.
By the flank the Japanese kept put
ting the Russians back from the Yalu
to Mukden. By the flank Grant put
Lee back to Richmond.
There was just one, and only one,
startling feature in this war-Bulgari

more time
Demetrieff had willing flesh for a
necessary sacrifice. He threw his in
fantry against frontal positions in a
cloud, into shrapnel and automatic
gun fire, without waiting to silence
the enemy's batteries.

Officials Of the United Garment

food to the turkeys for twenty-four
hours prior to killing. This allows
the crop and entrails to become empty
and avoids much of the danger OF
spelling. Full crops and entrails count
against value; they often faint the
meat and prevent it's being kept for
any length of time.
There are two methods Of killing
largely used. The most popular Is to
suspend the fowl by the shanks, head
down, and cut or stick it in the roof
of the mouth with knife made espe-
cially for this purpose. This sewers
the arteries and cuts into the brain,
causing insensibility and free flow
of blood from the mouth. This Is
called sticking in the roof of the

The other plan is to break the neck

SENDS WORD TO COMMITTEE

Washington, Dec. 31.-William f.
McCombs, chairman of the Democrat
10 national committee, brought to the
inaugural committee here the follow
ing message from President-elect
Wilson:
L want the greatest possible sim
plicity in connection with my inaugu-
ration as president of the United
States. '-Presiden Woodrow
Wilson.
This message from the next presi-
dent was carried to the inaugural COM
mittee here by William F. McCombs,
the chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee and spokesman for
the president-elect
Mr.. McCombs left Governor Will
sons train from Staunton, where the
governor had been visiting, and which
was his birthplace, as the train passed
through Washington to deliver this
message from the president-elec to
Chairman William Corcoran Eustis, in
charge of the Inauguration arrange
ments, with whom he was in confer
ence.
Il believe in return of our presi-
dents to the Jefersonian idea of sim
plicity," commented Governor Wilson.
L think that these great parades on
March 4. considering the danger Of in
clement weather IT. Washington, i'm
peril too many lives"
Notwithstanding the wishes of Gov
ernor Wilson the parade and the in
augural ball will be features of the in
auguration as they have been in previ-
Gus inaugurals. The local committee
decided to go ahead with it's plans to
make the Inauguration of Governor
Wilson as president the biggest event
of it's kind that has ever been held.
But there Is trouble about the place in
which to hold the ball.
For several years it has been held

)een made that the function has In
erfered with the business of the Of
ice and that for days after the ball
vas held there was confusion and dis
arrangement Of papers. James Pres

ieries, suggests that the ball be held
in the capitol building, the dancing to
be In the great rotunda and the recep-
ton in the private committee rooms
adjoining.
