A cloud Of smoke puffed out a base

residence of former Senator Ogden
Mills jr., No. East 69th Street, as
Policeman Oscar Caffery passed at

Caffery pulled the door bell, sent in
an alarm and returned. The occu-
pants of the house slept so soundly
he had TO break the lock Of the front
door and go through the halls arous-
ing them. Mr., Mills, whose wife is
out OF town, was asleep on the third
floor, and when awakened called his
niece, Miss Barbara Sanders, thirteen,
and her governess. Mabel Worthing-
ton, whose room was nearby.
They dressed hastily and went to
the Ogden Mills home next door, at

the house was filled with smoke, and
none Of the servants had appeared

NIXON CAN'T RAISE
CAR FARES, RULES
APPELLATE COURT
Decision UpholdS Ban on
Queens Increase - LegiS-
lature Alone Has. Power.

The Appellate Division OF the Su-
preme Court to-day sustained Su-
preme Court Justice Edward r. Finch
in restraining Public Service Com
missioner Lewis Nixon and Receivers
William r. Bcgg and Arthur G. Hume
from increasing the fare charged on
the lines of the Manhattan and
Queens Traction Company.
The opinion of the court was writ
ten by Justice Frank o. Laugh1in. all
of his associates concurring. 1t holds
there is no authority for altering the
terms OF the traction company's con-
tract with the city and says relief, il
needed, must come from the Legisla-
ture.
Justice Laughlin said that while it
did not appear that the Public Ser
vice Commissioner had decided to
change tho rate OF fare. the court ap-
piled to for an injunction had authority
to issue one If ne has assumed jurisdic-
ton Of a subject matter over which he
is without jurisdiction.
Also the fact that Mr. Nixon had
entertained an application of the re-
ccivers for hearing with view solely
to an increase in the rate of fare clearly
appears, the decision says. While ad-
mitting that the Legislature has power
to increase the rate of fare, Justice
Laughlin refrained from stating
whether the Legislature could deprive
the city Of its rdscrvcO right to declare
the grant forfeited for charging a
greater rate than that prescribed.
The matter, he suggests. should DC
taken to the Court of Appeals for
prompt decision.

That "Proved Case" "
CLAESSENS SURE TO GO.
Speech Made in November Ex-
peCted to Doom Him and
Solomon as Well.
By Martin Green,
Especial staff Correspondent Of The
Evening Worldly

ALBANY, Jan. "a pamphlet
with a red cover, printed in Yiddish
and eRtitled THE Dictatorship of the
POletariat," introduced in evidence in
the trial of the five suspended Assem-
blymen yesterday afternoon. after a
bitter verbal warfare between counsel,
in the course of which lawyers for the
accused threatened to withdraw from
the proceedings, furnished an illumi-
mating example of how easy it is to
make a document serve a purpose
when the purpose is concealed. The
pamphlet came into the proceedings
from the'LusS committee Of the Legis-
atIre to Investigate seditious activities
in the State, and as an example OF
plain ''frame-up" it capnot be sur
passed.
A recital OF the circumstances at
tending the production Of this PAM
phlet and the succeeding develop
ments is entitled to a generous al
lowance OF space. But before going
into the matter it is fitting to say
that the trial. which was adjourned
last night until next Tuesday, has
developed bhus far these outstanding
features:
The intent Of the ruling powers
in the Assembly to GUST the So
eialst members at the end Of the
trial has been clearly revealed.
The lawyers for the defense are,
more experienced in matters of
this kind than the lawyers for
the judiciary Committee Of the
Assembly and have thus far car
ried off the honors Of the legal
contest without any Of the fruits
thereof.
A threat OF the counsel for the de-
Tense to withdraw (such threat was
made twice yesterday, once by Mr..
Hillquit, speaking for all his associ-
ates, and another time by Gilbert B.
Roe, speaking for ,himself) had the
effect of directing the other side into
a conciliatory mood. In fact, the
threats to withdraw earned the de-
fense the only victories they have
won thus far, although these victories
were of the technical order
THESE TWO SURE TO LOSE
THEIR SEATS.
The proceedings are aimed at the
Socialist Party as well as at the de-
fendants at the bar of the Assembly,
and the indications are that prece-
dents to be established in this case
will serve to guide the leaders of
other legislative bodies in the United
states who are determined TO be rid
Of their Socialist members and stop,
II possible, the growth and influence

SEVEN HOURS FIGHT.
Guests Watch Rescue Squad
at Work-Damage Main
ly by Water.

More than a score OF fremen re-
turned TO quarters at 4 A. M. to-day
after seven hours Of gruelling pun
ishment by smoke and heat during
a fire over the grand ballroom Of the
Hotel Ritz-Carlton. At times every
member of Engine Company 65 and
Hook and Ladder Company 2 was
disabled and the rescue squad had
to work alone.
The marriage of Miss Mary Moffatt
Borden OF No. 215 West 9Sth Street
and Kenneth Neiman Chambers OF
Harper's Bazaar took place in the
Crystal Room about $50 last night,
the Rev. DR.. w. W. Bellinger OF St.
Agnes's Church officiating. Follow
ing there was a reception and sup
per in the ballroom.
Suddenly, smoke began pouring Into
the room from the ceiling panelling.
The guests abandoned their food and
scattered. The hotel management re-
assured them and they left the room
in good order resuming festivities in
another room.
SMOKE AND HEAT BOWL OVER
FIREMEN.
Guests in the hotel were told there
was no danger, and that firernen
would soon have the blaze under con-
troll. II appeared at first that the
flames were in the walls, among the
electric wires, but was later dis
covered they were in a pipe vault
40x4O feet, that extends partly over
the ballroonf and partly over three
story addition to the hotel.
This vault is a network of refriE-
Grating pipes. ventilating apparatus
and electric wires. The insulation
made much smoke and heat, and the
Rescue Squad was called. Because
Of the stubborn character of the blaze,
the hotel put temporary lights and
thirty electric fans in the vault to aid
the firemen, who had to work in
relays.
The firemen were attended as rap
idly as they were knocked cut, and
returned to duty. The heat was SO
intense that members Of the Rescue
Squad, under Lieut. Blessing, had
their necks and ears blistered. They
used twenty two Cartridges" which
furnish them with fresh air.
PULMoToR NEEDED IN ONE
CASE.
Lieut.. Robert Jackson of Hook and
Ladder No. was so near gone at one
time that the pulmotor had TO be used
TO revive him. Acting Battalion Chief
Murtha was almost blind when he
returned to quarters.
During their work, the firemen were
watched by many Of the hotel guests
There was no excitement in the hotel
after the fires discovery. 1t was
necessary TO cut six large holes in
the ballroom ceiling, and the water
and sand damaged or destroyed many
of the elaborate paintings and other
decorations.
The damage will amount TO mahy
thousands Of dollars, but the hotel
could not make an estimate because
the value of some Of the decorations
was not known.
Some of the damage was done by
tearing holes in the panelling in the
search for the fire when it was in it's
early stages. Smoky Joe" Martin,
who was in charge, praised Deputy
Chief Ross and his men for their good
work.
