POLICEMAN RISKS LIFE
To SAVE SLEEPING MAN
Forces Way Through Choking Smoke
of Burning Theater.

Special TO The Washington Herald.
New York. March 2O.-The bravery OF
Policeman Henry Bauer saved the life Of
Fletcher McAdoo. a janitor, when fire
destroyed the Novelty Moving Picture
Theater, Sixth avenue, today.
Meade was asleep in his rooms in the
basement OF the five story structure when
Bauer saw dense clouds of smoke coming
from the windows on the first and second
floors. He forced the basement door
when repeated rappings brought no re-
sponse. and was met by blast of smoke
and fame. Regardless of personal danger
he made his way through the flames and
got McAdoo out. Bauer's hair was prac-
tically entirely burned from his head and
his coat was so much scorched that it
was rendered useless.
Michael Comasdy, a fireman attached
to Engine q, had both his hands severe
ly cut by glass while trying to get
through window on the fifth floor.
The other floors of the building were
unoccupied. and the loss is estimated at
between $4,000 and $4,000.
