THINK 100000 BLAZE
ONLY A FIRE DRILL
Dock Hands Gleefully Fight
Flames on LackaWanna Dock.

when the pier fire alarm sounded
yesterday afternoon on the long Lack
awanna dock at Twcnty-elghth Street
and the North River, dock hands and
superintendent thought il was an
other fire drill. II was. William Lang,
the foreman, had passed the word to
few Of the assistants that he was go
ing TO have a drill; the bosses were
expecting it and watched the "hsnds"
rush for hose. pixies and axes, with the
usual roliicklng run.
In the midst OF the drill, one OF the
workers found himself in cloud Of
smoke The drill turned in an instant
into regular fire fight.
When Battalion Chief Roth arrived
with the apparatus a minute later, he
found the entire length Of the pier in
flames. and lost no time IN sending in
q third alarm. The fire started IN ls0-
foot extension at the end Of the pier.
Sucked by the river draft. II swirlod its
way among the heaps Of inAamr able
freight. Dozens Of streams OF water
from engines and hreboats soon
checked the blaze. but not until car
loads OF baby carriages. pianos. baled
cotton. trunks. shoes and ice cream
freezers were burned up. The damage
was estimated at 100000

that the settlement OF the problem
which has apparently been reached viii
be satisfactory 10 the country at large
and consistent with his Mexican policy.

tonight that the full report Of Cen
