WORK ALL NIGHT
 TO SHIFT GREAT
 LOAD OF POWDER
Experts, Working In Dark, Toss Explosives Around
 Like Paving Blocks.

Docking at the City Ice & Coal Go. wharves on Yellow Mill the lighter Ara, which brought to this city about 500, ,0O0 pounds of powder to keep the big U. M. c. Go. plant working after going aground at the entrance of the Yellow Mill channel, warped in at z o'clock lasA night and was unloaded before 2 o'clock this morning. She departed for Hoboken. N. J.. on the flood tide today.
 The scene at the dock when the eno normous quantity of powder was be- ing handled as if it were notEkng more serious than a, few paving blocks, was interesting. Without lights, working by sense of touch alone, half a hun dred expert powder handlers of the U. M. c. Co., with score of motor trucks aided in the unloading.
 ''No smoking was the rule fol- the Ara but in the surrounding yards during the process of removal. A chain of men passed the powder can isters to the trucks, which were quickly loaded and with their driver and complement of two guards each, pulled away that others might replace them. The powder carried to the Barnum avenue yards of the U. M. c. Co.,, was placed in cars and transferred to the magazines.
 At the City Ice & Coal Go. yards today there was a sigh of relief when tu was learned tthe dangerous cargo was unloaded. Vet men in the pow der business declare there is less dan fer handling this product when the t'know-how'' is learned than the pieces of steel used in construction.
 On board the Ara, the captain, his wife and one man for crew were all that Ga1arded the cargo on itp cruise Cold meals were the order of the day and the ca ptain ordered the cook stove lighted as soon as he got underway for New York. It is likely that many cook stoves in the vicinity of Seaview avenue were not lighted last night. A general relief is felt that the powder has gone.

POLICEMEN
 TO GET NEW STYLE OF i UNIFORM FOR SUMMER

Policemen will not be compelled to wear half length overcoats next win ter and they will be comfortably robed in long uIsters. which will reach all most to the ankles. There will be two side pockets, slanting ones, and the revolver will be carried in one and the. billy in the other.
 Commissioner Lyddy brought the matter before the board, saying that two policemen had complained to him about the present style of garment. They claim it is too cumbersome, too tight fitting and not a warm garment. Commissioner Lyddy said he had two policemen demonstrate the difficulty of pulling a revolver from the pocket of the coat.
 One of them was unable to pull his gun, the belt of the coat interfering with him and Commissioner Lyddy had to lift the belt from the police his gun out. The commissioner is in favor of dispensing with uniform belts.
 The new coats probably will be CT the New York style of police over coat uniform and will be similar to those worn by the guards at the Rem ington Arms & Ammunition Co. Com m1ssioners Lyddy and George c. Beet were appointed committee to select the style of coat and to get the prices on the garment. The latter will not be adopted until about April when it is expected the new batch of policemen will be appointed. They will then De instructed as to the style Of overr coat to purchase for wear for next winter.

Little Children, Playing With Matches, Set Fire to Tiny Brother, Who Is En- ve1oped In Flames Con suming Bed Clothing.
Mother Forces Her Way Through Tightly Wedged Door, In Response to Screams, But Is Too Late -Dr. Blank to the Rescue.

Set on fire by fragment of burning paper in the hands of an elder broth CT, James Tarquino, aged two and one half years, was burned to death in the arms of his mother. Mrs. Pasquale Tarqufno, in a bedroom of their little eenement in the rear of 255 Grand street at II o'clock this morning.
 The child was burned from head to foot the mother was painfully burned on both forearms in trying to beat out the fatal flames, and tn e three other small children were inn periled in flames that spread through the bedroom.
 Blank, former health commissioner, and by Truant Officer Richard F. Lar win of the police department, checked the flames before they reached the other children. The fire department. summoned by Larkin, finished the and truant officer.
 Dr. Blank was driving through Grand street in his automobile when piercing screams commanded his at tention. He hurried into the rearg of the Grand street tenement and dis covered the children and mother in panic Cl1tched to the mothers two years old son. still slnoldering and threatening to fire her own gar nnents.
 Flames were playing about two small beds. curtains were ablaze and the house was in danger. pr. Blank was followed by LarKin. and while the latter threw water on the flames, than rueshed out to sound theF alarm. Dr. Blank gave professional attention to the babe andAmothar. The child al- ready had expired.
 The mother, between her hysterical 'sobs, told the physician and police of 6cer that she was at work cleaning a front room when she heard the screams of the children in the bed-9 room. When she reached the door, it was wedged, and she was delayed so long in forcing it open that when at last she entered the room, it was filled with flames and smoke. From the children, they learned that, the youngsters had been playing with matches, and that the older tots ran into the bedroom with a strip of paper abIaze, like a streamer. James was on the edge Of the smaller bed. His cloth ing became 1gnited, and then the chiI- dren realized their peril.
 Neighbors took the message of the tragedy to their father, an elevator man in the U. M. c. Co. He hurried nome, found his wife prostrated, in bed, and the scharred corpse of the child in an adjoining room, where neighbors were administering to it.
 Medical Examiner GarIick gave per- mission to Funeral Director L. B. I Richards to remove the body.
 The Tarquino family came from It. ally five months ago.
