An operation was halted and the lives
Of $50 patients, most Of them suffering
from influenza or pneumonia, were en-
dangered yesterday afternoon when fire
was discovered in the Lenox Hill Hospital
at Seventy-seventh street and Lexington
avenue.
Herman Schultz, a porter at the hospital,
was shovelling snow In front of the build
ing shortly before two o'clock when he
saw smoke and flames pouring from the
roof He rushed to the basement and told
the engineer, who sounded the alarm
Despite the fact that the fire was crack
ing omnously by the time the first ap-
paratus reached the scene. there was not
a sign of panic inside the building. The
nurses and orderlies rushed to their fire
posts and then went through the wards
telling the patients that there was a small
fire in the building but that there was no
danger. Patients in the wards near the
blaze were quietly removed to places of
safety. Flower Hospital was notified and
sent ambulances to be held in readiness
in case it became necessary to remove the
patients from the burning structure.
Not because the extent of the blaze
warranted it, but because he wanted to
take every precaution on behalf of the
patients. Deputy Fire Chief Sherlock
turned in a second and n third alarm when
he arrived. This brought both Fire Com

Wine Makers Lose
inDryLaw Fight

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Tuesday.-Cal-
Kornia vino interests lost the first skir-
nish in their legal fight against the eigh-
teonth constitutional amendment late to-
day. when Judge Franz II. Rudkin, OF the
Federal District Court. denied petition
for a writ of habeas corpus in the case of

This was said TO be the first test OF the
national prohibition amendment in the
country.

kin. ''that the amendment in form and
substance was entirely within the compe-
tency of Congress and the several states
to propose and ratify. and that both the
amendment and the national prohibition
act were in full force and effect on the day
in question"
The attorney for the wine interests con-
tended that an amendment TO the consti-
tuition must change some part of the con-
stitution rather than add new article
to it.
Judge Rudkin ruled that article v. or the
constitution gave Congress and the States
the necessary authority for adding the
amendment.

When the apparatus arrived the fire was
quickly extinguished and at no time was
there any serious danger. Truck No. 16

there Lieutenant Thomas Tobin directed

HOMELIEST GIRL TOO
PRETTY TO WIN S1OO
Loses Fashion Show Prize Offered
for Display of Beautify
ing Hat.

Only one girl in New York considers her
self homely 1t took a wager and the
offer OF 500 to induce a girl who gave
her name as Josephine Morris, OF No. a.
West both street, to admit that she is
ill-favored, and even she proved so far
from homely that she could not qualify.
The Retail Millinery Association OF
America advertised in all the metropolitan
newspapers that the homeliest girl in New
York was wanted TO act as a model at the
associations sem-annual fashion show,
which is to be held at the Hotel Astor,
February T. The intention was to demon
strate that even an ugly woman could be
made beautiful by wearing a hat designed
by members OF the association. Candi-
dates were to report at the headquarters
of the organization. No. 1,270 Broadway

a pair of models who considered them
selves anything but money. and whose
professional pride received a severe blow
when they discovered why they were be-
ing welcomed so warmly. no candidates
presented themselves other than Miss
Morris.
One look at Miss Morris and gloom

eventually she was engaged to act as q
regular beautiful model at the Fashion
Show. For this she will receive $40.
thereby losing 500 for not being ugly.
Miss Morris intinated that the name
and address she gave were false. And
she denied that the name ana address be-
lcnged N any one with whom she was on
terms. She insisted that she
was a model and had been dared BY hort
employer to apply for the job OF ugliest
girl. And she would not admit that she
Fad escaped by a hairs breadth from

SCOUTS IDEA OF
MARS WIRELESS
Expert Here Denies Hearing of Mys-
terious Messages as Reported
by Marconi.

No unusual interference with wireless
communication or mysterious signals, as
those to which Signor Marconi has called
attention in London, have been noticed by
officials of the Radio Corporation of
America, an amalgamation of the Amer
lean Marconi Company and the General
Electric Company. DR.. T.. i. W. Alex
anderson. chief engineer of the corpora
ton. said yesterday that the disturbance.
il any existed. was purely terrestrial since
the persons who have noted It assert com
blnations of the Morse code have been
received.
1T is impossible for the people Of Mars
or any other planet to know the Morse
code" the engineer asserted. THE sup
posed signals which are considered un-
usual probably are produced by some
spark station and are being heard at a
greater distance than ordinarily because
of the clearness Of the atmosphere and
the absence of static. The fact that the
mysterious signals are partly decipherable
bears out my contention
DR.. Alexanderson declared that wireless
engineers attribute virtually all disturb
ances to static or mirages. He said that
at sunrise and sunset, when the suns
rays are horizontal. the atmosphere is
unusually free from static and permits
the transmission of messages a greater
water, concentration Of the ether and
thunder storms even in distant parts. he
said, have an effect upon the wireless and
the distance spark VIII carry.
4 BY way of illustrating what he called
the mirage effect in wireless telegraphy,
DR.. Alexanderson cited as an example
a person in a boat on a lake that is un-
usually quiet when there are no disturbing
air currents. 'That person. he said,
will hear with the greatest clearness the
swish Of the oars of another rowboat
probably half a mile away. So IL is in
telegraphy under similar conditions"

ALBANY, n. Y, Tuesday.-No proposed
amendment to the United States constitu-
ton can be ratified by the State Legisla-
ture until the question has been submitted
to the people in a referendum. under pro-
visions of an amendment 10 the State con-
stitution proposed in a concurrent resolu-
tion introduced today in the Legislature
by Senator ]. Henry Walters. Republican
Senate leader. The proposed change in the
State constitution IS the result Of oppo-
sftfon by the vets to the action of the
Legislature last year in ratifying the fed
eral prohibition amendment without first
submitting IL to the people. as demanded
by Governor Smith.
The text of the proposed amendment to
the constitution Isl
whenever an amendment TO the con-
stitution of the United States shall be pro-
posed by the Congress Of the United States
and hereafter or heretofore submitted to
the Legislature of the State for ratifica-
tion the Legislature at its first annual
session at which such proposed amendment

Despite use Of the word Heretofore IN
the text of the proposed amendment, Sen.
ator Walters declared IL was not retro
active. Others looked upon il as the first
step in a move to rescind ratifica ton of
the federal prohibition amendment.
Senator Walters gave notice he would
press tho resolution for adoption by this
Legislature and urge its introduction and
passage next year. so the amendment can
be voted upon by the people In 1921 Sem

that number far below the number of
nurses required for work owing to the
epidemic. He said that in response to
appeals Of physicians OF the various hospi-
tails he was endeavoring to obtain at least
fifty additional nurses to help out in the
care OF influenza and pneumonia cases.
Dr. Copeland, in talking about the sta
tistics compiled from reports of cases. de-
clared that the low death rate for the
twenty-four hours was significant. when
compared with the death rate for the same
day in the epidemic in 1918. He said that
although he expected an increase in the
number of influenza cases this morning,
he believed the death rate will reveal a
similar drop.
DR. Copeland said there is not the same
amount of distress attendant on the cpl
demic this year that characterized that OF
1918 He attributed that to the fact that
there are greater number OF physicians
in the city to handle the epidemic, hun
dreds OF whom were with the armed forces
at the time of the previous epidemic. The
increase in the number of hospitals to care
for victims OF this years epidemic. he said,
also was a telling factor in the low death
rate.
The Health Commissioner said that while
the hospitals of the city as we'll as the
Health Department. were far short of their
quota of nurses, uS nurses were obtained
during the day. Ninety-ftve of them we're
