SIX F|REMEN ARE
OVERCOME WHILE
FIGHTING BLAZE
Two Battalion Chiefs Among
Those Who Collapse from
Fumes at Small Fire.

Six firemen were overcome by
smoke last night when fighting
small fire in the cellar of 252 Mar
ket street. The fire apparatus tied
up traffic on the street for con-
siderable time.
The firemen who were overcome
were Battalion Chiefs Michael !
Durkin and Robert +. Morgan. and
Firemen Clifton Titcomb. William
Brown and Fred Siegle and Lieuten-
ant William Maier, of Engine Com
pany No. |. Lieutenant Joseph A.
Barrett, of Truck Company No. |, be-
came slightly Ill from inhaling
smoke, but he was not overcome and
was able to return to the burning
building after short rest.
When the firemen responded to the
cali that was sent in by Sergeant
Ullrich they found the cellar filled
with smoke. 1t was necessary to use
the acetelyne lamps, and when the
firemen were working in the cellar
something went wrong with the lamps
and caused them to add to the fumes
by emitting quantities of acrid smoke.
Chief Durkin was the first one over
come. He was directing the work when
he keeled over and had to be dragged
out. One after the ether the remain
ing men succumbed and it was neces-
sary to send men in to carry the af-
fected men out.
While the battalion chief and the
three firemen were resuscitated on
the sidewalk in front of the building,
Lieutenant Maier was in such shape
that he was ordered to the engine
house at once. He made the trip in
the chiefs gig and it was sometime
before he was fully recovered.
Large quantities of sawdust and
rubbish were in the cellar and for a
time the fire appeared as though 1t
would be a bad one. 1t is estimated
the damage will amount to about
$500. While the flremen were fight
ing the blaze the trolley cars were
sent around by the Mulberry street
route The cause of the fire is not
known. The building is a four story
wooden structure, occupied on the
ground floor by l. L. Piken, jeweler,
and l. Goldstein, shoe repairer:
Fire of unknown origin caused
Juror along South Orange avenue in
the afternoon when flames spread
quickly from the Altman Pleatfng
Company to the electrical supply
store of Gross & Gross, both occupy
ing the building at Al South Orange
avenue. The damage to the pleating
company was estimated at $500, while
the electrical company suffered a loss
of $50. Mrs. Anna Bloomfield, who
occupies the rooms above the store,
was not home. Her apartments suf-
fered only a loss by smoke. The
building is a two-story frame.

BEER BARRED IN
SEA GRIT CAMP
Trouble in Manasquan> Caused
by Soldiers Is Responsible
for Order.

Special TO the Evening Star.
CAMP FIELDER, SEA GRIT, July
27.-Colonel Reading today gave the
order that there is to be no beer in
camps. Not only will such an order
likely be made by Colonel Steele, of
the Fourth Regiment, but 1t may be
accompanied by one making this en-
campment a closed one for the troops
of the Fourth Regiment, as the OUT
come of trouble in Manasquan, "a
nearby town, Saturday night.
1t Is declared that soldiers, mostly
from the Fourth Regiment, became
intoxicated and proved troublesome
10 the authorities of Manasquan.
They persisted in addressing women,
1t is alleged, and at the request of
the authorities a company of infantry
from the Fourth Regiment was de-
tailed to bring the unruly ones back
10 camp. They were thrown into the
guard house.
Yesterday Colonel Steele called his
officers to o, conference and told them
that order must be maintained. He
said that If there was any more
drunkenness or disorder the soldiers
would not be permitted to leave the
encampment under any circum-
stances. At present they are given
their liberty until 1920 at night
In talking of the trouble Colonel
Steele said the trouble was for a great
part among troops of the Second
Regiment. He said that these troops
coming in from the country districts
were apt to act less discreetly than
those who come from Jersey City and
Hoboken. Members of the Second
Regiment said that with very few
exceptions the trouble was caused by
the Fourth Regiment
Troops of the Second and Fourth
Regiments, New Jersey National
Guard, passed quiet day. Heat kept
the guardsmen under shelter of can
vas. Colonel Horace M. Reading, of
the Second, yesterday afternoon re-
viewed the two regiments. Colonel
Arthur L. Steele, of the Fourth Regi-
ment, assumed the position of COM
mandant of the brigade and Lieu
tenant Colonel George l.. Forman and
Lieutenant Colonel George T. Vickers
commanded their respective regi-
ments.

Hungary state that Servian troops on
board a steamer on the Danube near
Temes-Kubin have fired on some

Interpreted as a happy symptom, al
though Russia's attitude has been
very firm since the beginning of the

a discussion to delay any act which
might prove irreparable.

of Berlin may be heard at the OPP

PARADISE FOR THE ARTIs7
Dcvotees of the Brush Are Accorded
Accommodations Without Price
at Inn at Capri.

Capri, beautiful in itself as a winter
resort, offers an Irresistible invitation
TO artists, since it has an inn where
anyone, by painting a picture on the
wall, can get free board.
10 the lovely island of Capri, with
Its perennial summer, it's blue grotto
n its lemon groves, came, some fifty
years ago, a ruined artist. He opened
an inn, and died rich. In his will
leaving the inn to his heirs, he made
these conditions:
The charge per day, two bottles Of
red Capri wine included, is never tc
be more than six francs.
If any artist is too poor to pay he
shall paint a picture upon some wall
space, receiving all the accommoda
ion accorded to those paying the high
est price.
eff any German artist shall come
to the inn he shall be accommodated
and shall receive the amount of his
fare to Germany upon his promising
never to return to Italy"
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions. Its walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then a German
gets his fare home.

Holding ashowl of water
Poised in her fingers care
Water quiyering with cool CLEANS

A wonder and a shining secrecy,
As If 1t were the worlds most precious

So open-clear that all have passed 1t by.

On the bare table, flowers and swelling

Empty Titles,

The emperor of Austria, it has been
noted, lays claim to the title marquis
of Antwerp. If all European SOW
ereigns could make good their minor
territorial titles there would, indeed,
be a reconstruction OF the map. The
king of Italy, for instance, is officially
styled king Of Sardinia, France, Spain
and England, of Italy and Jerusalem,
of Greece and Alexandria, of Hamburg
and Sicily, Master Of the Deep, King of
the Earth. The king of Spain also
claims to be king of Jerusalem, king
of Galicia Ga title shared with the en-
peror of Austria), and. in addition,
king Of Gibraltar, of tho West Indies
and of India.
