TWO VERY DISASTROUS FIRES
Fine Residence NJ. III. Montgomery
Burned Sunday, With Loss
Estimated at $50 With
Insurance of $1,000.
residence of Miss Louise johnson
Bookkeeper at Lutheran Pub
fishing House Burned
Yesterday Morning.

Last Sunday morning at eleven o.
clock fire practically ruined the fine
brick residence of NJ. II. Montgomery
on Maple Ave. The fire was discover
ed on the roof of the house by Gene
Williams, neighbor, who immediat-
iy notified the Montgomery family.
Mr.. Montgomery dashed up stairs to
the attic and saw the whole east
end in blaze. He turned in a fire
alarm and went back upstairs and
by that time the entire attic was on
fire.
The firemen arrived in short
time and found the fire stubborn
one to fight. The roof over the en-
tire building was burned. There are
five rooms upstairs, where the fire
was contend to, the ceiling of one
room was entirely burned through.
and parts of the ceilings in the
other rooms. One north room was
burned out entirely.
" hSli thS hIS was discovered the
smoke became so dense that IL wa
hard to get the furnishings out, but
the family and neighbors worked
hard and got out practically every
thing in the down stairs rooms, with
the exception of the piano and a fold
ing bed. Of course the fire didn't
reach these, but they were water
soaked. They even got most of the
electric fixtures out. Only one room,
the dining room on. the lower floor !,
was damaged by fire, hole being
burned in the ceiling. The house had
matched oak floors both upstairs and |
down, and these were ruined. |
Practically nothing was saved in the
upstairs rooms, only some bedding
and two mattresses.
The loss, We understand, is esti-
mated around $4,000, with $4,000
insurance on the building and $4,000
on the contents. 1t is estimated that
it will take $500 to put the building
back in shape.
The outside walls, we understand,
are in good shape.
Much valuable silverware and
jewelry was lost, no trace of some of
the valuable articles being found.
The Montgomery family are MAX
ing their home for the present with |
Mr.. and Mrs. G. F. Baker. They are
very DESTROYS OF getting furnished
house, and would be pleased to hear
from any one here who has one for
rent. ..
The family have the sympathy of
many friends in their loss, and while
the loss of such fine home is 4
severe blow to them they are bearing
up we'll under il, and making the
best OF it,

Another disastrous fire broke out
yesterday. Tuesday morning, about
eight o'clock, in the residence of
Miss Louise Johnson on South Me-
chanic street. The house is story
and half frame, and the fire start
ed from an iron chimney, getting
overheated, that goes through the
roof in the kitchen. The fire depart.
ment responded quickly and succeed
ed in saving the house, but not un.
til considerable damage was done.
The two upstairs rooms were prac-
tically ruined and several large holes
were burned in the roof They sue
ceeded in getting out practically all
the furniture and valuables, with the
exception of a bed upstairs that was
burned.
The eight o'clock train was COM
ing in on the Milwaukee, and the
hose was stretched across the track.
This necessitated the firemen flag
ging and stopping the train. A little
later Chief Olson ordered the hose
uncoupled AMI let the train pass.
We understand Miss Johnson car
ries some insurance, about $500, but
whether it is enough to cover the loss
we do not know. Her many friends
sympathize with her in this calam-
ity, and especially on coming at this
time of the year.

Uncle Sam Has Little April 1
Joke for Jersey Central and

Pennsylvania and Jersey Central rail-

selves to 100 trip apd $50 trip season
tickets and their 100 trip annual tickets
or the slips will be rejected by the col
lectors. After May the rule will apply
to fifty trip tickets also.
The new ruling, which compels every
Communication ticket holder to get his pic
ture taken and to attach to the ticket a
small copy Of the photograph, precisely
as the army and navy and other Govern
ment departments required photographs
attached to passes issued, affects many
thousands of persons who take cottages

sands that make their year around
homes on that ocean fringe. During the
summer many thousands OF people spend
two or three months at the seashore and
use the season trip tickets instead of the
regular Communication tickets.
The season tickets are sold at reduced
rates and the monthly Communication
tickets are issued on sliding scale. the
cost for the first month being but triflc
lower than the regular fare. For this
reason most summer travellers use the
season tickets The fact that these can
be used throughout the season developed
a custom that the Railroad Administra-
ton desired to end. Some travellers sold
season tickets 10 friends.
The ruling was made to apply to the
Communication tickets between New York
and Philadelphia. which are sold at
about fourth of the regular rate. and
to season tickets to the Jersey shore
because there has been more complaint
regarding this practice from these lines
than from other roads. The New York
Central and New York, New Haven and
Hartford commuters are not asked as
yet to get their pictures taken.
The new ruling requires photograph
to be furnished at the time the ticket Ia
purchased. Photographs should be one
and a half inches square. Ticket pur-
chasers must supply their own photo
graphs. but ticket agents will give ad-
dresses OF photographers prepared to
take pictures quickly and at reasonable
prices.

Commissioner Says He Is
Losing $1,000 Monthly by
Holding Office.
TO RETURN TO PRACTICE
Plans to Open Drug Clinics
Before Giving Up His
Post.

Mayor Hylan must 60 to work again
DR.. Royal S. Copeland served notice
yesterday that he intended to quit as
Health Commissioner. This will be the
sixth change in the Hylan cabinet in
fifteen months.
DR.. Copeland denied vigorously that
there had been any friction between
himself and the Mayor, for whom he
expressed high regard. but those
familiar with the way things have been
going In the administration suspect that
the Health Commissioner thought II
would be just as we'll for him to get
back into private life.
This formal statement was made from
the Commissioner office:
my private interests and profess
sional obligations demand my early re-
turn to practice. My stay in the Health
Department entails a serious financial
loss. 1t is only because Of my high
regard for Mayor Hylan and my APP
probation OF his unfailing and enthusi-
astc support that I have remained this
long. In the near future, unless I'M
foreseen health emergencies arise. must
return to my concerns to make living
for my family.
However, | am not excited about II
and feel that I can usefully serve the
city for little time yet. There are
certain problems. particularly the drug
evil. veneral disease control and indus
trial hygiene that I wish to see on
their way before l quit. but l shall
not remain in the office for a great
while longer"
Earlier in the day DR.. Copeland said
he had taken the Office as a patriotic
duty and that II had cost him pract-
cally $1,000 a month. which he could
have been earning in private practise
| When he had determined the day he
wished TO be relieved he would send a
formal letter OF resignation to the
Mayor.
One of the things DR.. Copeland wishes
TO complete before going out of office,
he said. was the consolidation OF the
Health Department clinics so as to make
them more useful. He also Is much
| interested in the opening up OF some
| clinics where drug addicts may go for
| trea tnent. He declared that he believed
| the druggist and doctor who furnished
| drugs to the Victims should be put in
Jail. while the unfortunates should re-
| ceive the best medical care.
Frederick c. Bugher was the first
| member OF the Hylan cabinet to go. He
| was dismiesed after twentythree days
| in Office because he would not stand the
| Mayors interference with him as Police
| Commissioner Or. J. Lewis Amster, the
