POLICEMAN RESCUES
 FAMILY FROM FIRE
Nine Guided and Carried to Safety By Sergeant
 Hart.

Lusch- itz from probable suffocation in fire that partially gutted their home at S1 Rockwell avenue shortly after mid night. Breaking down the front door n. aided, after discovering an ell, used as a woodshed and storage house, to be in flames, he awoke Luschitz, his aged mother, wife and six small chll- dren, guiding and half carrying seN- cral of them through the smoke-fllled rooms to safety. Quickly following the rescue, he sent in an alarm rom box IT, Arch and Hart streets, at 2:3o. Chief Robert M.

When discovered by Sergeant Hart, the en- tire side of the. building was in flames, which were beginning to ignite sthe main part of the one-story building. When the firemen turned into Arch street the illumination could be plain ly seen and the flames had gained much headway. They were soon checked by the water lines, although it was necessary to get in under the shingles and clapboards to cXtinguish the smouldering cmbers.
 Just before the alarm came, a tel epioone message to Sergeant Kelley at police headquarters notified him that firemen were needed at the Rockwell avenue address. He was just aroHs.ng Chief Dame when the alarm was turned in by Sergeant Hart
 The house belongs to what is known as the old McElrath estate. It was once used for Q Gelicattessen man. ufactory. Lately it has becn usud as q tenement. NeiGhbors gave shelter to the Luschitz family. It was rc- yorted today that the fire loss to the building is covered by insurance.

'C0R0NATIONS' NOT
 TO WORKS LIKING
Senator Objects to PageantS at
 Inaugural Exercises
HOTEL MEN ROBBERS J
Spicy Debate Before $25,OOO Appro- priation for March Ceremony Is New R. R. Bill.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The senate voted favorably today on the $25,O00 appropriation to pay for the inaugu- ration expenses at the capitol, but not until there had been some live ly talk about how Washington hotel keepers rob" visitors and some ob- servations that the inaugural cere- monies have come to resemble a cor onation pageant.
 When Senator Overman brought the resolution from the committee, Senator McCumber suggested that it should include provisions to prevent hotel keepers from raising their rates. He said he had been in- formed by one hotel that a room for inauguration week would cost $200.
 I'm not going to object to this resolution" said Senator Works, but l would like to see one president in- augurated with appropriate cere- monies, suitable in a democracy. We are having a coronation every four years and it is undemocratic and un- American and I would like to see it abolished. There is, no reason that such ceremony as this should be conducted and every reason that it should not. ] should like to see the president himself declare against that sort of thing and protest against his inaugural being made a show of this kind. There is no occasion for the government of the United States to spend $25,000 to provide a place for the inaugural. I should like to see the senate raise it's voice against it, it violates every principle of our gov ernment"
 Strikes Not Forbidden.
 Railroad strikes and lockouts are not forbidden by the terms of a bill to supplement the Adamson law which the senate interstate com merce commission virtually had com pleted today. President Wilson had suggested that provision be intro duced to prevent strikes or lockouts pending investigation of differences. The new bill, however, would make a criminal offense, punishable by heavy fine, for a railroad employe who has cult work to trespass on railroad property with a view to pre- venting by violence, intimidation of threats, the operation of trains.
 Another important provision of the bill which authorizes the president to take over and operate "such part of'' a railroad and it's equipment as is necessary to move troops or muni- tions in war time, threatened war, or insurrection.
 To frame new legislative program for the remainder of the session of congress that will meet the approval of caucus of democratic senators was the task to which the senate steering committee again set itself today. A caucus of senate democrats held last night failed to agree on program.
 The caucus divided over the ques- tion as to which measures should take precedence on the program among them being water power and corrupt practices legislation.
