weeks members OF the family had
realized that her tenure Of life was

MONTPELIER FIRM
BRANCHES OUT

Last week Messrs. Goodman &
Christman, the well known jewelry
firm of this city, closed the deals for
the purchase Of the stocks of jewelry
of the late firm of Edholm e. Akin
at Evantson and Green River, Wyo.
Mr.. Goodman returned last Saturday
from Evanston where he and Mr..
Christman had been during the week
taking an inventory of the stock and
arranging the details of the transfer
Of the two stores.
Mr.. Goodman will have personal
charge of the store at Evanston and
is this week removing his family to
that city. Mr.. Christman will re-
main in charge of the store here,
and they will place a competent man
in charge of the branch at Green
River.
The purchase of these stores was
brought about through the death Of
both Mr.. Edholm and Mr.. Akin, the
latter died year ago last September
and the former committed suicide
about two months ago.
By the purchase of these two stores
Messrs Goodman & Christman also
become watch inspectors for the
Union Pacific system for the district
extending from Ogden to Rawlins
Their territory as o. s. L. watch in
spectors is also extended from Poca
tello to Granger.
While the Examiner is pleased II
note that two of Montpelier's youni
business men are branching out il
their line of business, it regrets tina
the deal necessitates the removal o
Mr.. Goodman and family from thi
city. They have been residents o
Montpelier little more than fou
years, Mr.. Goodman coming here =

Results Of Recent Elections. Gives Republi-
cans Hope for Success in 1916.

lating third parties. 1t is broadly
hinted in many quarters that the
progressive ticket was in the field
largely through the influence o {
Moses Alexander, democrat, and A.
r. CRuzen, republican, and that
Charles o. Broxon, candidate for
state treasurer on the progressive
ticket, is now in the dual position of
assistant governor and editor of the
Evening Capital News as the direct
result of this manipulation.
In the light of all this and what
has grown out Of it, it is not surpris-
ing that the republican leaders have
come to have wholesome respect
for Governor Alexander as a politi-
cal manipulation. They seem to be
taking all this into consideration now
in all their plans for the amalgama-
tion of the party as it existed before
the split Of 1912. They profess to
be well content with the drift of
things and insist that most of the
influential progressive leaders in Ida
no are now back in. the ranks ready
for general assault on the common
enemy.
In their rejoicing over the bright
er outlook and their confident pre-
dictions for victory next year the
republicans are not overlooking dem
ocratic dissensions either. To say
nothing at this time about the revolt
in certain quarters against the gov
ernor and his methods, it is well
known that there is soreness among
democrats in every important com.
immunity because Of the way the fed.
eral patronage was handled.
This is nothing more than the
usual dissatisfaction caused by the
evils of the spoils system. but al
this time 1t is expected to operate
powerfully against the party in pow
er. Postoffices and other fedora
positions have been given out undel

That the article in last weeks Ex-

of the citizens OF that city, is evldenc-

come to MS from a number OF the lead
ing men Of the town. One business
man called as up over phone and after
thanking MS for publishing the article,

B. R. T. TO FIGHT
SERVICE ORDER
Company Refuses to Obey p. S.
Car Edict and Will Let
Court Decide.

BY the refusal yesterday of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to
obey a service order of the Public Ser
vice Commission that body will have
chance 20 begin penalty action for its
enforcement. Failure to bring such
actions under the law is what the leg
islative investigating committee has
been steadily hammering the commits
sioners for.
The order was for the extension Of
the service of the Nassau Avenue line
over the Williamsburg Bridge and the
re-routing Of the Lorimer Street line
to permit such extension.
"The undersigned begs hereby TO no
tify the commission" says S. W. Huff,
vice-president of the company, writ
ing TO the commission, that the terms
OF said order are not accepted, and will
not be obcyed unless the courts de-
tcrmine upon the review thereof in
certiorari proceedings that the pro-
visions of said order constitute valid
exercise of power on the part of the
Public Service Commission, and that
the same are reasonable and are justi-
fed by the evidence taken upon the
hearing
The company gives seven reasons
why il refuses to accept the order, in

the commission to order such changes
because Of the fact that the company
has no franchise over the Williams
burg Bridge, or 10 force them TO aban-

TO PROTEST AGAINST
WASHINGTON LOSS
Turkish Government Will Make
Complaint Against Russia.
Berlin Hears.

Berlin, Feb. 10 (by wireless to Say
Vile, y. Y.).-Advices received here to-
day from Constantinople say that the
Turkish government will protest
against the sinking BY the Russians
of the steamship Washington while
sailing under the American flag. The
vessel is reported to have been sunk
on February Will, engaged in carry
ing Red Cross supplies between Con-
stantinople and Trebizond.
TIE Washington was owned by the
Archipelago Steamship Com
pany, which controls fleet of boats
named after the American states and
plying between Mediterranean ports.
The steamship Texas. which struck a
mine and sank in the Gulf OF Smyrna
in May. 1912, during the Turko-ltalian
war, belonged this steamship line.
The Observation-Disclosures Steam
ship Company is owned in large part
by naturalized American Greeks, and is
chartered under the Maine laws,
though no American registry has been
granted to it's vessels. At the time of
an anti-Greek boycott directed against
the ships of this company. some years
ago. however, the line was authorized
to fy the American flag by the Ameri-
can Consul at Smyrna because the COM
rany was largely controlled by Ameri-
can interests.

ON SINGH LEDGE
4 FLEE FROM FIRE
Policeman and Girl He
Was Rescuing Cut OFF,
Firemen Help Them.

Two fremen of Hook and Ladder II
got Patrolman Sauer, Of the Union
Market police station, and a girl whom
he was trying - rescue out Of tight
fix last night.
Fire in the five story tenement house
at 636 East Ninth Street cut off many
Of the one hundred or more tenants
from fire escapes and stairs. Sauer
had male several trips into the build.
ing. lie had piloted n score or more Of
panicstricken foreigners to the roof
Although flames had singed him, he
joined fremen who entered the build
ing when word came that ar entire
family was missing.
On the fourth floor the rescue party
found the family in their dining room.
There were four. They were uncon-
scious. With Edward Lendasky, four.
and Fannie, two, in his arms Sauer
staggered down. Firemen brought out
Mrs. Rose Lendasky and her daugh-
ter. Anna.
Again the crowd shifted and boiled.
A girl was wailing. Through hysterical
sobs she cried that Susie Juster, a
young woman, who lived on the top
floor, was not TO be found.
"And she's alone" the girl sobbed.
Sauer made for the entrance. II was
oozing sitting smoke. which had found
no vent above. Sauer dashed to the
fire escape and clambered upward. At
the third floor flames were shooting
from window and scorched his uni
form and eyebrows. He gained the
last landing, smashed window, guard
ing his fist with his cap.
Smoke gushed from the broken win
dow and fame followed. In few mo-
ments Sauer appeared at another win
dow at the front of the house. He had
Susan Juster in his arms. The fire had
cut him off from the fire escape; the
stair were impossible.
Two iremen peered from fifth floor
window of GA East Ninth Street. A
ledge about eight inches wide led to
the window across whose sill the pa
trolman had sunk with his burden.
Back to the wall and arms out
stretched, the firemen edged their way
across the fifteen-foot ledge.
They reused Sauer and with the Cir

WHITNEY'S PLEA
HELPS P. S. AIDS
Secretary and Ordway Agree on
Payroll Plan for Temporary
Employees.

Travis II. Whitney. secretary OF tho
Public Service Commission. reached an
amicablc understanding with Samuel
II. Ordway. chairman Of the new State
Civil Service Commission. YESTERDAY.
whereby il will not be necessary for
the commission to refuse to certify the
payrolls of temporary employees who
have served longer than the ninety
days specified in the law.
Mr.. Whitney will draw bill, which
will be introduced in All any on Mon
day night, giving the commission au-
thorty up to August 10 to permi.
temporary employees to hold over in the
absence of any eligible lists for their
respective grades.
The whole trouble has come about
because Of the failure of the old Sulzcr
commission to take prompt action on
resquests for the holding of eXamina-
tons for the establishment of eligib'o
lists. Figures were furnished by Nh
Whitney last night to show that an
average Of nineteen weeks had elapsed
between the request for an examination
and the establishment of the eligible
list. The times ran from twelve TO
thirty-siX weeks.
The result was that when the new
commission came in they found l75
employees of the Public Service Com
mission who had been serving continu-
ously under temporary appointment for
more than the legal ninety days. Not
desiring to permit any violation of the
law, however necessary, the new COM
mission announced they would not GER
tify the pay of these men any longer
As many of them are experts in their
line, whose places could not be readily
filled, it looked as though there might
be serious delay in the work of sub
way and tunnel construction. However,
Chairman Ordway and Mr.. Whitney be-
lieve it will be possible to get the
temporary enabling act through the
Legislature before il is time to certify
the February payrolls. BY August Is,
it is estimated, the necessary examina-
tons can be held and eligible lists
established.
If there is any trouble in passing the
bill the Public Service Commission will
apply for an order from the court d
recting the state body to certify the
rolls. This action would be perfectly
agreeable to them.

THREE BURNED IN
WAR POWDER BLAST
Disaster at Du POnt Plant Avert
ed by Explosive Being in
Loose Form.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribune

Paterson. y. j.. Feb. 13.-Thrce men
were seriously burned to-day in an ex-
plosion Of powder at the Haskells plant
of the Du Pont Powder Company,
which wrecked three buildings.
The explosions, in which about a
hundred pounds of loose powder went
up. occurred in what is known as the
solving house. Two other buildings
were burned
A catastrophe might have resulted.
as there are twenty-five tons OF giant
powder stored less than five hundred
feet from the destroyed building.
Workers at the plant said to-day that
had the powder in the solving house
been confined instead of loose the
damage would have been great
Although the rumor that powder is
being manufactured for the Allies was
denied, il was learned that twelve hun
dred men are working night and day
while the normal capacity of the mills
is about five hundred men. so that the
statement that the powder is being
manufactured for American consump-
tion seems hardly plausible.

MURTHA GIRL and
JACOBSON MARRIED
President McAneny of
Board of Aldermen
Performs Service.

Marguerite Murtha, the fourteen
year-old girl who was recently sem
fenced to seven years imprisonment,
was married last night TO Samuel ia
cObson by George McAneny, President
Of the Board OF Aldermen, at his home,
10 East Forty-seventh Street. The girl
was released through the efforts Of
several well known clubwomen.
Mr.. and Mrs John r. Gregg, Of 50
West Fifty-eighth Street, accompanied
the girl from their home TO that Of
Mr.. McAneny. Mrs. Gregg has been one
OF the leaders to free her from the
penal institution and bring about the
marriage.
The girls parents and her sister
crowded into taxicabs, and when the
marty arrived at the McAneny home
jacobson, the twenty-year-old bride.
groom, was awaiting them. Marguerite
Murtha was dressed In an attractive
old rose dress, the gift Of Mrs. Gregg.
She also provided the wedding ring.
After the simple ceremony the girl
returned with Mr. and Mrs. Gregg 20
their home. while Jacobson left for his,
1917 Third Avenue, where he lives with
his parents. The girl will stay with
the Greggs until the first OF the week.
Then she is expected 20 go 70 a hos
pital. When she returns with her
child, Mrs. Gregg has promised 20
start Jacobson and his wife in house
keeping.
The ceremony was made possible
yesterday when Supreme Court Justice
kelby signed An order appointing
George f. Wilson, Of 76l Bailey Ave-
nue., Kingsbridge, guardian for Jacob
son. This was done upon the youths
application, so that his parents re-
ligious objections 20 the marriage
might be overcome, and he could meet
the requirements Of the law regard
ing licenses issued 10 minors. His
father and mother had opposed the
wedding because the girl was not of
the Jewish faith.
They agreed 10 the appointment Of
a guardian, after clubwomen came for
ward with the proposal to find en-
ployment for Jacobson that he might
support his wife.
