Flames Cause Loss of $4,000 in
Store and Home of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Jan. e.-Two fires
within two blocks Of each other early
today imperiled at one place an en-
tire family and at the other killed
thirty horses.
While flames swept through the first
floor Of the building and smoke filed
the place, Abraham Kemerman, his
wife and their 3-year-old son, Martin,
507 South street, fed to safety through
a window and over the roof of the
house next door.
The fire started In the first floor in
a dry goods store conducted by Mr..
Kemerman. The second and third
floor were the living quarters Of the
family.
Samuel Uram, proprietor Of an ice
cream parlor. crawled across the shed
roof and broke a window in the Kem-
erman home, then entered and
aroused the sleeping family.
The loss Is estimated at 81, 900.
Thirty horses were killed by a fire
which destroyed the interior of the

ed up by the police.

Barges Laden with Fuel Reported
Frozen in Along Coast.

Boston, Jan. s.-wfth coal on the
way to Boston and the weather still
extremely cold. the famine was to-
day felt as acutely as it has since
the shortage became apparent.
Four thousand persons. including
women and children, stood in line
at the wharf OF the Metropolitan
Coal Company all day waiting to
buy coal.
When the yards opened at seven
o'clock scores of persons were wait
ing. and when the yards closed at
half-past five o'clock 14S tons of
coal had been sold and people were
still coming from every direction.
A number of fist fights marked
the rush on the coal dealers, but
special police guard the yards and
the disorders have been controlled.
A number of companies have taken
out insurance against riots.
All the surrounding towns and
cities are practically without fuel, and
many families have been forced to
seek shelter in hotels. There are
practically no oil stoves to be had in
Boston.
The opening Of the schools has been
indefinitely postponed.
Cargoes of coal are on the way TO
Boston, both by rail and by water. it
is reported. The barges are practical
ly all frozen in along the coast. how

WARS GREAT BATTLE
SUBJECT OF SERMON
Rev. Stewart Tells of Wedge Of
Gold" and Joshua's Defeat.

A sermon on THE Biggest Battle Of
the War was preached last night by
Rev. Howard I. Stewart, pastor OF the
Second Baptist Church, Fourth street
and Virginia avenue southeast.
His sermon was based on the story
told in the seventh chapter-of the
Book OF Joshua. describing the causes
leading up TO the failure OF the first
effort to capture Al. the second city
in Canaan. Two causes were respon-
sibie. said DR.. Stewart. The main
reason was Joshua's disdaInful under
estimate OF the enemy's strength, and
the other was the theft by one Of his
soldiers Of a wedge Of gold, the sight
Of which demoralized his army.
The pastor hkened this episode to
some Of the recent transactions in
Russia, where the present leaders
have been taking all kinds OF golden
wedges from the Germans.
The dedication OF the church's serv-
ice flag, containing thirty stars, was
a feature Of the patriotic proceedings.

WOMAN SHNN FEINER
Mrs. Francis Sheehy Skefhnston to
Interview Members for Ireland.

Escaping from Ireland doubly dis
guised more than a year ago. and
since then putting the case Of the
Sim Feiners before hundreds of
American audiences, Mrs. Francis
Sheehy Skefington, widow OF the
editor slain during the Dublin re-
beIlion Of 1915, is about to plead with
members OF Congress TO include Ire
land. by specific measures, among the
small nations whose independence is
to be secured by Americas part in the
world war.
Mrs. Skefington, who will arrive
early this morning, believes the Amer
lean people sympathize deeply with
Ireland's national aspirations. She is
considered by Irish-Americans as an
unofficial representative of the Sim
Fein movement.
DR.. Patrick McCartan, Official ennis
sary of Sim Fein. last September
presented to Congress, through Sen
ator J. Hamilton Lewis, an address
from the Sim Fein leaders, including
Prof. Eamonn De Valera, ''uncrown-
ed king Of Ireland" who was born in
New York. Mrs. Skefington had q
more intimate connection with the re-
bellion OF 1916 than DR.. McCartan.
Both she and her husband were paci-
fists and without connection with the
rebels. Mr.. Skeffington, while pre-
venting looting. was arrested by Eng
lish soldiers. Two days later, by or
der Of Capt. B6wen-Coulthurst, he
and two other journalists. who hap
pened to be loyalists, were shot with.
out trial. Capt Bowen-Coulthurst
was subsequently, pronounced insane,
Mrs. Skefington has devoted her
life, since her husbands death, to put
ting the case for Irish Independence
before America in a reasonable and
persuasive way.
During the next week she hopes 70

Representatives.
