HERTZ BARN BURNED.
Believed That WouId-Be Chicken
 Thieves Were to Blame.

Fire supposed to have been set acci- dentally by chicken thieves did damage Saturday night at the barn of Hertz Bros, No. 22-24 Cove street, that will be several hundred dollars more than the $200 insurance they had on the place
 A horse belonging to a man named Uhrman and three heifers belonging to Hertz Bros. were taken out of the barn in safety, but about q ton of hay and a quantity of feed were burned.
 The fire was discovered by man street and sent his son Morris to- the West Side station to call the fire com pany. Chief Stanton happened to be at the station at the time and respond ed with the company. The fire bIazed up brightly and somebody pulled in an alarm at 7.22 from box If, at Thames square.
 The West Side company already had a stream on the fire fro ma hydrant at the west end of Cove street when the other companies arrived. The auto chemical ran a line through back yards from the hydrant near the corner of West Main and Forest streets and a third line was run from another hy- drant at the east end of Cove street. '.
 The roof of the barn was burned off and part of it fell. The fire that got into the hay in the loft made 1t neces- sary to turn this all over and soak it down before the firemen could leave the place after over an hour of work.
 It is the theory of the owners of the barn that thieves who stole 10 chickens at the barn earlier in the week made another visit to the place Saturday night. There had been a big flock of chickens in the barn, but they had all been removed by the owners except two. It is supposed that in looking around for the chickens the would be thieves lit a match which set fire to the hay in the barn.
 Policemen Roger Cowles, McFadden and Perry kept the crowd out of the way of the firemen and the searchlight on the motorcycle of c. V. Pendleton, Jr., was used to throw light into the barn to help the f1remen to see after the blaze had died down.

REGULATION OF SALE
 OF LIQUOR IN LONDON Military Authorities Disguised With Drunkenness of Soldiers

London. Nov. 20 CCorrespondenee of the Associated Press1.-Every day the demand in London for a stricter regu- lation of the sale of liquor during the war becomes more insistent. Miff- tary authorities are disgusted with the drunkenness of soldiers brought about by the disposition of civilians to treat all men in uniform.
 Lord Kitchener has issued nuTner. ous protests against the treating Of his soldiers. but without the desired results. Even the closing of psblit houses at 10 o'clock at night has moi cured the evil and stricter regulations seem inevitable.
 The increase of drunkenness amons women, especially among women who's husbands have entered the service has fallen under the observation of social workers in all parts of London and many delegations of prominent wo- men have appeared before licensing

BARN OF 6. |. HUBBARD BURNED
In Rear of His Residence BroadwayStated From Cause Unknown -Eiydrant Pressure too Light be Effective Building Was Used for Garage-Four Automobiles and Three Cows Taken Out in Safety.

The large frame barn of Charles l.. Hubbard, now used by him as garage, in the rear of his residence, No. 242 Broadway, caught fire Sunday afternoon about 5:15 o'clock from some unknown cause. The entire roof and much of the upper story was burned off at a probable loss of over $2,000 to building and contents. The barn was insured.
 Four automobiles in the barn were safely run out by MT. Hubbard and his son, James l.. Hubbard, who dis covered the fire breaking out in the upper story of the ell of the barn and telephoned to the central station for the auto chemical Three cows that were also kept at the barn were taken out in safety.
 Lack of pressure at the hydrant in the street cut off a possible chance of holding the fire when the auto chemical crew arrived and found that it had too much headway to make the chemical much use: They drove into the yard and shot up stream at close quarters. and the chemical com pany from the Falls station. which answered the telephone call, ran line from the hydrant in Broad street near Cedar. The pressure was so weak that the line was ineffective and 8 further handicap was added to the situation when neighbor, who is Main street business man, went off to ring in the alarm from Q box He was unfamiliar with the way to ring an alarm and he did nothing but break the Glass door and wait for the box to do the rest.
 Chief Stanton, who happened to be visiting in the neighborhood, hurried to the fire and was told that the bell alarm for the other apparatus had been sent in He supposed that it must have rung without his hearing it, but when the apparatus did not arrive as it should he sent a man in

an automobile for. the steamer and found that no bell alarm had been rung.
 The steamer responded to his or ders to come to the fire and got up steam in short order, but there was no water supply that amounted to any, thing until the steamer began to pump. The pressure at the hydrant was 45 pounds, which the steamer boosted to 1S5 and sent out a. line of 3 inch and a line of 2 1-2 inch hose from the hydrant at the, corner of Broadway and Broad street. These did the work when they got into action. and dFenched the barn with water, checking the fire from burning down into the first story. They also drench- the fire when they overshot the rooa of the barn and caused a great scur- rying on the part of those in line with the streams of water.
 While the men were working ou the fire, NIT. Hubbard thoughtfully had wicheS and hot coffee which were sery- ed to the firen1en.
 After the fire had been checked Chie1 Stanton investigated and tested ths box frtln which it was supposed thE alarm had been sent in. He found inner door of the box and found thu box in good order as was shown wher be tested it my ringing the alarm in. side the box. Then he rang in tht recall from the box
 In speaking of the experiences al this fire, the chief said that it wal 6 very plain illustration of the valul of an autochemical pumping engine which could have converted the veal water supply in a minute into an eff fective stream which would have helt the fire in the ell of the barn when it started with the result that thu loss would have been very small.
