Mother Saves Young Children
By Her Cool Work

Waterville, Me-, May 24.-(SpeciaD.-
Seven lives were imperiled and S25oo
worth of property was destroyed by
a midnight fire Saturday that COM
pletely Quilted the dwelling of Morris
Settler, No. 80 Ticonic street. Mrs.
Settler and her six children were
asleep in the house, while the fire
supposed to have originated in the
small store in the rear of the build
ing was burning flercely. 1t was dis
covered by the owner, William Lee
vine, who with his family was just
returning from their store on Main
street. 1t was about 1910 when they
reached their apartments, over the
store of Philip Levine at the corner
of Maple and Ticonic street. Mrs. Lee
vine went into the kitchen to put away
some supplies and as she looked out
of the rear window saw the rear of
the adjoining building in a mass of
flames.
Theodore Levine. her son and stu
dent in Colby, ran across the street
and aroused John Trainer, driver of
Hose 4, who turned in an alarm from
Box 241. Meanwhile, Philip, the r.
year-old son of Mrs. Settler, was
awakened by the smoke, and called TO
his older. brother Joseph saying that
he was choking. His cries aroused the
mother, who ran to the window. She
heard the cracking of the flames and
. tIa G,~a Il
shouted for help.
Her six children. all under IS years
of age, were in the bedroom in the
rear of the first floor. She hurried
back into the smoke-filled rooms. and
sent them into her room at the front
of the house. About this time officer
Charles Butler, aroused by the alarm,
reached the house. Mrs. Settler pass
ed the children one by one to him
out through the window, and herself,
clad only in night gown. was OBJ
liged to leave by the window. Neigh
bors supplied them with clothing and
the department began its task of
lighting the fire, which was we'll I'M
der way.
The line from Hose 4, which is di-
rectly opposite. was on fie by the
time the Central station apparatus ar
rived. but two more lines were laid.
and for the better part of three hours
the men battled with the flames. The
small rooms and the low ceilings
made it difficult to get near the base
of the fire, and it spread well into the
front of the dry, parched building
before it was extinguished. Although
the frame of the house stands almost
intact, the interior is mass of char
red timbers.
The house is valued at $4,000, and is
insured for $500. The owner, Mr.. Lee
vine, believes it will be almost to-
tai loss. Morris Settler, whose family
occupies the house, is a grocery and
meat merchant, and was in Old Town
at the time of the fire. The household
furniture, estimated to be worth $500,
is completely ruined, but is covered
by insurance. Twenty-four chickens,
owned by the Settlers and kept in a
shed, near where the fire is supposed
to have started, were roasted to
death.

For more than two hours Lincoln
Beachey, daredevil aviator, and Bar
ney OIdfield, driver of racing automo-
biles, kept a throng in state OF eX-
citement at Brighton Beach track.
The old illusion that an aeroplane
cannot tip over without falling was
completely dispelled. Beachey turned
somersaults, dropped thousands OF
feet. few upside down and fioundered
ahol,t in the clear air until the spec
tators were dizzy.
First Beachey took his little blplane
out for trial flight and dashed about
the field for 10 minutes. a group OF
photographers was thrown into con-
sternation when Beachey shot from
a height of 300 feet directly at their
heads.
With one accord they dropped their
cameras and fell fiat on the ground
A second later they scrambled to their
feet while the smiling Beachey sud
denly leaped skyward again.
The band was playing merrily when
"BiIr' Pickens, master of ceremonies,
picked up the megaphone and an
nounced the first thriller. He said
that Beachey and Oldfield would race
for the championship of the universe.
While Beachey's merchandising turn

Beachey stepped into his machine then
ana sailed about. climbing skyward at a
steep angle When he had reached an
altitude OF 5000 feet he cut out his motor
and the machine fell. tail downward. for
more than a thousand feet.
Just as the spectators were gasping in
the firm belief that the aviator was
doomed, Beachey executed a sort of side
flop and once more the motor took up
its hum as the machine sped aloft again.
This time he did the famous loop. Here
and there he darted, first flying on lev
ell. next rushing at lightning speed to-
ward the earth, then plunging head
downward, and doing corkscrew spirals
with the same ease as though he were
flying in a normal position. Four times

over clearly and completely.
Many of the women turned their heads
away, but the fascination of the flight
was too strong and they had to watch
the machine in spite of themselves.
Twelve minutes from the time Beachey
took the air he landed lightly as feath-
er in front of the grandstand
While the crowd shouted applause
Beachey, looking immaculate and un-
ruffied, jumped into an automobile and
was wfdsked away.

DR.. Cook to Sue for
Alleged Larceny of
Furs, Food and
Clothing
Declares Act While in North
Indirect Attempt to Murder

Boston, May pa dramatic court
trial may be staged in New England
as the result of the decision of DR.
Frederick A. Cook, the explorer, to
bring suit against Rear Admiral Rob-
ert e. Peary.
The suit will be based on the alleg-
ed larceny by Rear Admiral Peary,
then lieutenant, of food, furs and
ivory valued at $4,000, the property of
DR.. Cook, at Anootook, Greenland,
whiie the latter was making his dash
for the pole.
Claims Attempt on Life
DR.. Cook claims that the larceny of
his supplies was a deliberate attempt
at murder, and he will also sue on the
grounds TO SANDER and libel
At the Parker House Saturday the
explorer announced that he had en-
gagged the services of Attorney Her
bert A. Kenny. who will attempt to
have proper service made on Admiral
Peary with the view of obtaining jur-
isdiction in New England.
If this attempt is successful it will
necessarily reopen the polar contro-
versy, with the two claimants for the
chief actors.
Dr. Cook, when interviewed Satur-
day said: 81 feel that this is the only
direct method left open to me as an
American citizen to rehablitate my
self in the eyes of the people. There
has been a system which has conspir-
ed industriously to wantonly, wickedly
and maliciously outrage my name and
attempt to detraet from the great hon

coverer of the pole.

MY enemies are abundantly supplied
with money, and this is my only method
of reaching the common people, the mass
of American citizens, whom wish to sit

like to meet every inhabitant of New
England face to face and tell him the
real story of my discovery and the cruel
inhumanity and moral cowardice Of Lieu
tenant Peary.
1.-THE larceny of my supplies from the

warded, and rightly, by hanging in any
mining camp. 1t meant that I any my
men were left to starve, and only prov
idential series of circumstances saved
our lives"
Admits Retainer
Attorney Kenny admitted Saturday
that his services had been retained.
He said: 4 cannot say when the suit
will come up but at the present time
I am using every effort to locate Rear
Admiral Peary and have the proper
service made on him. DR.. Cook wishes
the whole controversy to be thrashed
out in New England, and l hope to be
able to obtain the jurisdiction.
THE raiding of DR.. Cooks cache at
AnootoooS was one of the most in
human acts 1 ever heard of, and we
hope to show this man up in court.
The trial will be far more sensational
than the Sampson Schley controversy,
and in dramatic interest will exceed
even the famous Russell will case"
