BURNED IN BAcKDRAUGHT.
Firemen Trapped by Flames as They
Garry Hose Upstairs.

New York, March 24.-Three firemen
were burned by treacherous back
draught during fire which cleaned out
part of the upper three floors of the six.
story brick building on the south side
OF Burling slip and South street yester.
day. The injured men were Capt. Robert
Donoghy and Fireman Alfred Devaney
and Michael Jessup of engine a. The
sudden rush of fame came upon them
without warning as they were fighting
the fire on the fifth floor and all were
burned severely on the face and hands
Patrolman Bracken of the Old slip
police station sent in the alarm when
he saw smoke coming from the fourth
floor windows Above the ground floor
only the third is occupied and that by j.
Garcia & Bros, tobacco dealers. The
FIRE started on the fourth floor and rap
idly ate its wav through the roof before
the firemen got the better of it. A
heavy fire wall kept the flames from
the adjoining premises.
Capt. Donoghy and his men were the
first inside the building with their line
of hose They had succeeded in besting
the flames on the fourth floor and had
fought their way another story when
the backdraught caught them. Other
firemen quickly assisted them to the
street, where they were treated by DR..
Krieger of the volunteer hospital.
The flames didn't get below the floor
on which the fire started. The damage
was about $500.

Pinklets Really Do
Correct Constipation

There are few persons who do not sui
fer more or less from constipation and
because OF the discomfort it causes and
the ill-health that results from this con-
dition everyone should know how to pro-
perly correct it.
Harsh purgatives, formerly much used,
act violently and leave the constipation
worse than before. Pinklets correct this
unnatural and dangerous condition by
gently assisting the sluggish bowels and
torpid liver to regain their normal
activity. Their action is gentle, but
effective and thorough, and they do not
cause 6 single grippe. Unlike strong pur-
gatives, Pinklets do mot upset the stomach
nor irritate and over-stimulate the bowels.
Because they have none of these evil
effects, they can be taken with entire
safetr until the constipation is corrected.
To simply regulate the bowels or to
treat obstinate cases of constipation,
pinklets are the ideal laxative. They are
safe for every member of the family to
use. Any druggist can supply you at 20
cents per bottle. Write to the DR.. Will
liamo Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. H.,
for q pinklet book which tells all about
the cause, symptoms and treatment OF
constipation and sick headache.

Present

Boston, March "A. William Dorr was

Dorr entered the chamber unhinching-

hands commend my spirit when the
current was applied.
In statement given out by his eoun-
sci, Charles N. Barney, Dorr was said
to have expressed remorse on account of
the death of Marsh and deep sympathy

WILSON PRESSES
TOLLS REPEAL
But He Denies He Tried TO Limit Debate
in Congress-Knows of No Improp-f
er Influence in Case.

Washington, d. c., March "a, While
President Wilson has no doubt OF the
passage of the administration bill to re-
| peal the Panama tolls exemption, he
is anxious that it be brought to a vote
promptly. He has been advised that q
vote will probably be taken as soon as
the rivers and harbors bill has been
disposed of. The president said yes.
arday that it looked to him as If there
had been a filibuster on the rivers and
harbors bill to delay the vote on the
tolls question, but smilingly remarked
that minorities always tilibuster. He
denied charge made on the floor OF
the Senate that he had attempted to
| limit the tolls debate in the House
He said that while he had no part in
suggesting a rule to limit debate, he
hoped there would be one. In reply to
questions as to whether he thought any
improper influences were being brought
to bear against the repeal, the pres-
dent declared that he had not sought
to find any and did not suspect them.
He referred to the controversy as diff
ference of opinion among the Democrats
and pointed out that a majority of the
House Democrats really had never voted
for the tolls exemption and that the
act was passed by coalition of Re-
publicans with minority of Democrats.
The president believes a number of Re-
publicans will support him in his posi-
ton to repeal the tolls exemption.

which would make an easy majority.

WILL START WIRING
 FOR COUNTY FAIR
city's Electric Current Will Make Grounds, Buildings and New En- trance as Light as Day.

Supt. Stephen J. Kehoe of the electric light and gas department was on the fairgrolInd several times last week with Secretary Charles D. Green night fair. They decided to com mence the wiring of the addition to the hall today. As for the new en- trance, over at the Salem turnpike side of the grounds. where the ex- tension of the electric road is to pass within 100 feet of the fence, that part of the grounds will, like the hall and the grandstand and the track, be bright as day. The night fair is going to get out an enormous crowd this year, and the lighting of the grounds is. of course, an important proposition. The lights will be shut off about o'clock each night for the fif1reworks. The management has bought more rockets and ordered more set pieces for this fair than for the fair of 1913, when the factory expert that came here to touch them off sent up real beauties for at least half an hour. The band will play at night, and there will be something doing on the stage at night as we'll.
 Secretary Greennan stated on Sun day tfat the official announcer would, as last year, be William w. Beckwith, who owns a big megaphone and knows how to use 1t to keep the crowd good natured and happy, day time and night time. He will take charge of every thing on that side of the track ex- cept the horses.
 The vaudeville and other free att fractions on the stage and elsewhere are bound to be good. especially Ada nreyes, the diving girl who flies through sea of fire into a blazing tank 100 feet below
 The cattle, sheep, poultry and pig entries came in early this year, and there were a lot of them. As for the hall. that will be full, Mr. Wiley has been working hard for six weeks or more and Superintendent Edward Cook will need the increased floor space the addition. 30x96, affords.
 The track is in good shape now, but Mir Lathrop is to put 1t in even bet ter condition. The 2:17 class may mean a new track record. There are plenty of horses at the track now, and more will be there by Wednesday. | The Central Labor Union members expect to sell more Labor day ticket: than they ever did before, thouga last year, when the union had its scouts all over the city and close by they disposed of several thousand O: | them.
