Three thousand workers were thrown

block of factory buildings in Green

structures in the block bounded BY
Newell, Calyer and Diamond streets
and Greenpoint Avenue. The loss was
estimated at $1,000, 900.
The fire was discovered in the lur,

flames had spread to the three-story
brick factory at 218 and 220 Newell

The first and second floors IF this
building were occupied by the Green

The fire next enveloped the three
story frame structure 224 and 226 Nav

Kreischer Manufacturing Compsny's
three-story factory building at Dia-

For three hours the fire was beyond

but the base Of a huge column of fame

Peter Rabbit stared rather helm

garden. Peter knew that down in the
earth just under Mr. Blacksnake was
Old Mr.. Toad, the very one for whom
Mr. Blacksnake had been looking for
his breakfast. Peter knew he was
there, for he had watched him, bury
himself there
1t was funny. Old Mr.. Toad didn't
know that Mr.. Blacksnake was lust
over him and Mr.. Blacksnake had no
idea that Old Mr. Toad was Just
under him. But Peter couldn't see
anything funny in it. He was too
worried for that. He was afraid tina.
Old Mr.. Toad might move and so give
himself away. Somehow he must get
Mr.. Blacksnake away from there.
But how was he to do it? He knew
that Mr.. Blacksnake had no fear of
him. He couldn't brighten Mr.. Black
snake away: That was out of the
question. He must get help. That
was all there was TO it; he must get
help. But who would dare try to

So Peter hoped over to the Old

Representatives of Bronx gas con-

William A. Prendergast of the Public
Service Commission yesterday to he
gin agitation for municipality owned
gas. The threat was made in conrec-
ton with the Bronx Gas and Electric
Company's application for increased

Chairman Prendergast, when coun-
sci for both sides agreed postponed
the hearing on the application until
September II. 1t was then that Mrs.

materials for gas have come down
in price, said Mrs Ebling. Fur
thermore, the company can't sound the
everlasting cry about labor being too
nlgn. II the company persists in seek
ing a higher rate and if its applica-
ton is granted, we will begin agita-
ton for municipal gas"
Chairman Prendergast said he de-
sired t. have the gas rate cases heard
with more expedition than in the past
and expressed the hope that a valua
ton Of the Bronx company property
would not be necessary in order to de-
termine the justice of its application
for an increase.
Residents of Laconia Park. the
Bronx, who have dwelt in NO Mans
Land so far as gas companies have
been concerned now are to have gas
furnished by an involved arrangement
worked out by the Public Service Com
mission.
Lacona Park is covered BY the
franchise Of the Bronx Gas and Elec-
trio Company, but it would be neces-
sary for this concern to lay $1,000 feet
of additional mains in order to reach
the residents of this sparsely settled
community. The Northern Union Gas
Companys mains, however, extend to
the edge of Laconia Park
At conference yesterday, attended
by representatives of both gas COM
panies and representative of the city
an agreement was reached by which
the Bronx company agreed to extend
mains from the Northern Union Gas
Companys pipes into Laconia Park
and the latter company would supply
gas, to be paid for by the Bronx com
pany, which in turn is to bill the con-
sumers.

Of the $4,000 upon which Mr..
Nicoll relies to great extent to
finance the operation Of the Mail by
the receivers, none of it is in his hands,
and may not be for months. Hall &
Co. said that the foreign and American
underwriters had not as yet lifted the
ban laid on the Mail when they gave
notice Of cancellation of all policies.
and would not do so until the premiums
are paid in cash in advance. They de-
clare it will take some time to strike a
trial balance on the rebates and
amount due for premiums, but that
only few thousand dollars will be
involved one way or the other in the
final settlement.
A ship operator, when informed Of
Mr.. Nicoll's statement of visible as
sets, said that 100000 would not go
far in operating the six ships that the
Mail has in commission.
The receivers have decided to move
the executive Offices of the Mail from
100 Broadway to the passenger depart
ment at As Broadway, in the lower
floors of the Shipping Board building.
The Mayors will remain in the Equita-
Bile Building, however, with their other
corporations.
1t was announced last night that the
receivers had taken over all the prop
erty Of the Mail when they called at
its Offices in the afternoon and that
they would first examine the finances
of the company. They will ascertain
which Of the vessels operated by the
Mail are profitable ventures. Those
that are paying a profit will be con-
tinued until a complete report of tho
financial condition Of the line is avail
able, whereupon application probably
will be made to Judge Manton for fur
Their instructions. 1t then will rest
with the court whether the ships are
returned to the Shipping Board or their
operation by the receivers continued
