country, Is to be decided by Supreme
Court Justice Davis as the result OF
suit filed yesterday by Miss Antol-
nette Vonasek, who for some months
has been firing the boiler at Public
School "a, the Bronx.
Miss Vonaselk has been ordered dts
missed by the janitor, who hired her
at $50 a month, because the Board of
Education fears that when she is
stocking the boiler her clothing may
become ignited,
Miss Vonasek's case was presented
yesterday by her attorney for writ
of mandamus forbidding the Board Of
Education to dismiss the lady fire.

laws of the State do not discriminate
against women in their employment,
and that the Board of Education can
not override the law by making rules
discriminating against women.

Sl25,00O Fire in Camden
Threatens the City's Big
Manufacturing Section

CAMDEN. Nov. lathe entire fire
department of this city was called
out last night to check a fire in the
lumber yards along the Delaware
River. The loss Is estimated at about
sl25,Oo0. As far as is known no one
wa; injured.
The lumber yards were owned by
the Munger & Bennett Lumber Com
pany and the Stockton Lumber Com
pany and were located at the foot of
Pearl street on the Delaware River.
It Is supposed that the two fires,
which occurred at the same time,
were caused by sparks from loco
motive. Both the Pennsylvania and
the Reading railroads use the same
siding: AT the time there were sew,
eral locomotives from both COM
panies on 1t, and there is no way of
telling from which the sparks came.
The fire was discovered by a
Waterman for the Munger and Ben
nett Company. A few minutes after
the alarm was turned In a second
alarm, followed by a third alarm
summoned every piece of apparatus
in the city. Fire companies In the
lower section Of Philadelphia were
asked to be ready to respond II their
services were required. For a time
the manufacturing district OF the
city was threatened.
The flames spread to a storehouse
of the West Jersey Paper Mill, COM
pietely wrecking 1t. Through the eff
forts of the firemen the David Baird
Spar Works and the West Jersey
Wire Works, adjacent. were saved.
The flames lighted up both sides OF
the Delaware River Cor miles.
Thousands of feet of lumber and
timber which were in the two yards.
besides a number. OF small buildings
and sheds, were burned.
The Pennsylxania Railroad sent
four of Its big tugs to aid In the
work of fighting the flames. Had 1t
not been for this assistance 1t il
probable that many Of the other
plants close to the lumber yards
would have been destroyed. The fire
boats kept huge streams of water
piaying on the threatened buildings
