New York, Nov. 5-Six men were killed
and many badly hurt In a FIRE which de-

majority Of these were rescued by fire.

ond story.
Some OF the men who persisted were
burned to death in their beds.
Fire Chief Ksnlon declared the house
was q Veritable fire trap. 1t was a four
story building, built thirty-one years ago.
The fire il believed to have been started
by Q cigar or cigarette butt" thrown
carelessly away by one OF the dodgers.
This was q typical New York lodging
house." said the fire chief They call
the sleeping quarters rooms, but they
are nothing but stalls. unfit for animals,
even. A fire starts and within two min
utes q whole floor Is q furnace. The
wooden partitions 90 up like tinder and
the men have little chance for their lives.
There are q lot OF other lodging houses
in the city just as bad. II ls a wonder
that more were not killed"

NEWMAN FILES
APPEAL BRIEF
Contends that President and
Senate Favorably Passed
on Residence.
TEN ERRORS ARE CITED
William ]. Frizzell Is Expected to File
His Reply to Custer Appeal
in a Few Days.
TEN ERRORS ARE CITED

j Commissioner Newman yesterday filed
a brief IN the District Court Of Appeals,
citing ten assignments OF error In the
custer judgment rendered against him
BY the District Supreme Court.
The chief contention In the appeal from
the finding Of jury in District supreme
Court was that Il was not pointed out
TO the jurors that the evidence on which
they based their decision ousting Conn
missioner Newman. had been passed on
by the Senate and the President and that
the presumption was. in favor OF Mr.
Newman
FrisseII to File Brief.
Filing of brief by the home rule
committee" with William J. Frizzell as
the taxpayer, testing the eligibility of
Mr.. Newman for the Commissionership,
is expected within few days. II ID con-
sidered probable that the appeal win be
heard late this month.
Attorneys Raiston and Richardson.
George w. Holt and Solicitor General
John Davis are named as Mr.. Newman's
counsel In declaring that there II no
intention to reargue questions decided
adversely by the Court OF Appeals In q
former decision, the brief states:
While We do not offer any argument
or suggestion in opposition to the prior
opinion Of this honaroble court In this
case We neNerthelesS Ioel that We are
not precluded from calling attention be-
fore leaving this general subject to GER
tain considerations involved In the fifth.
sixth and seventh Of respondents prayers.
These prayers contemplated that the
jury should give weight to the finding
Of the President and Senate that New
man was qualified, as shown by their
action. There Is a presumption. 20 well
known as 10 scarcely need the citation
OF authority. in favor Of the regularity
Of all public acts They are entitled TO
the benefit Of a presumption Of right
fulness. and this presumption should have
been presented TO the jury. Il was not
30 presented, but the jury were left at
their own free viii to determine the
issues.
President's Act Reviewed.
IF this were a case where the Presi-
dent and Senate had acted without con-
sideration Of the objections subsequently
raised. relating to Newman's residence,
II might be suggested that there had been
no expression OF opinion on their part.
but Il appears throughout the record
that the President and Senate had In
mind the very objections subsequently
passed on by the jury. They did act and
were permitted to redetermine these facts
were permitted to redetermine thsse facts
without any presumption in favor Of the
nghtfulness Of the existing statuA"

Thomas Taylor, president Of the Hotel
Sterling Company, pleaded not guilty in

"a fire sown broadcast upon the earth .
he says, ''or employed under conditions
which make specific aim useless, Is at
least distaSteful" The chief effect
achieved by the bomb-dropping aircraft.
he states. is a moral one He adds:
''t may be said. however. that IL the
future shows that attack from the sky
Is effective and terrible, as may prove to
be the case, 1t is evident that, like the
rain. It must fall upon the just and upon
the unjust, and 1t may be supposed will
therefore become taboo to all civilized
people and forbidden at least by paper
agreements"
Commenting on the practical uses of
aircraft. the report says:
by no means does the aircraft super
sede, nor can IL ever supersede, detailed
information which can be acquired only
by close observation, by contact, and
by development of the enemy's forces and
positions. This Is the work OF troops
In the field; but the aircraft does indi-
cate to either commander the character,
the location and general disposition Of
opposing forces
Value Of Artillery Increased.
'It is now well established that the
accuracy, value. and power in warfare
~ field and siege artillery have been
greatly increased by this agency, and IL
may almost be said that guns are fought
by means Of the eyes OF the aviator. 1t
should be self-evident that the same is
true Of the seacoast and land fortifica-
tons. So clearly has this been shown
that there now appears q noticeable
change in artillery tactics. Instead OF the
old-fashioned system of range-fnding by
experiment, the exact range Is now found
with the help of aeroplanes"
Referring to the offensive use Of aero
planes, the report continues:
''The proved efficiency OF fire of sman
arms and guns from the ground at air
craft operating at elevations below 5000
feet under usual weather conditions COM
pels flying at such great attitudes, espe-
cially by the dirigible, that the reaching
Of the selected object by falling projec-
tiles becomes improbable. Attacks here
tofore made have been impotent or SO
wildly irregular as to harm anything
rather than the object sought 1t may
later be shown that aerial offensive
flights. especially in conjunction with sea
operations. may prove important. but II
is useless to prophesy, and believe the
only safe conclusion at this time regard
ing the value Of aerial offensive is the
verdict not proven
Gen. Scriven declares that the expert
ence in the army aviation schools has in
dicated that the biplane Is preferable to
the monoplane for military purposes.
The tractor type. in which the engine
pulls rather than pushes. he also regards
as the better class for the army's pur-
poses. He urge that Congresseprovide the
men and funds generously and recon-
mends particularly the necessity Of ac-
cumulating q great store Of aeroplane
parts and materials. with a view to
eouipplng the National Guard and pos
sibly volunteer forces whenever that may
seem advisable. He recommends that,
steps be taken Immediately for ihstructing
the militia In aviation.
