Republican Caucus Votes
For Daylight Repeal
Assembiymen, However, fndorse
Clause Providing for OPP
ton hy Cities
From q staS Correspondent

ALBANY, Feb. 15.-Republican As
semblymen, in caucus to-day, decided
to pass a repeal of the daylight saving
law, with clause providing for local
option by municipalities.
This decision was reached when out
of the 101 members present only II
votes could be mustered for the fat
repeal proposed by legislative leaders.
More than a score of members from
greater New York, Westchester County
and upstate cities bolted the meeting
when the leaders turned it from a con-
ference into a caucus.
Of the seventy-eight who remained,
seven were opposed to fat repeal of
daylight saving, but agreed to abide by
the caucus action, on the ground that
a daylight repeal plank was in the
state Republican platform. The action
of the caucus pledges seventy-eight
votes, two more than Is required to
pass measure for the repeal Leaders
declared tonight they will be able to
get enough votes to bring the total
up to eighty-three when the question
comes up for passage. The local option
measure to be adopted will allow any
municipality not only to enact a day
light saving ordinance, but also to de-
termine the length of time which it
shall be effective.
New York City members opposed the
idea Of. repeal in any shape. They
were, however, willing to compromise
by shortening the period in which the
law would be operative, as Is provided

Major F. H. La Guardia, President
Of the Board Of Aldermen, made a los.

nance exempting from taxation for 9
period of ten years dwelling houses
erected in this city from April, 1920. tc
April, 1922. After three hour debate
the board adopted the ordinance by 6
vote of 40 to 27. 1t was not a party
vote, as both Republicans and Demo
Gratis voted for and against the resolu-
tion. The four Socialist members voted
against it.
The ordinance provides an exemption
up to $4,000 for a single house and
$4,000 for two-family house. Apart
ments are exempted at $1,000 a room
up to five rooms. The ordinance has
to have the approval of the Board of
Estimate to become law. The man
ner of voting of the members of the
Board Of Estimate present at the meet
ing of the aldermen yesterday would
indicate that there were nine votes
against the ordinance in the Estimate
Board, or enough to defeat it.

Original Draft Defeated
The tax exemption ordinance as orig

by the Board of Aldermen. It was
amended several times before it reached
the form in which it was adopted yes
terday. The Committee on General
Welfare, to whom it was referred. had
been unable to agree on the merits of
the proposed measure, but reported it
out favorably yesterday.

Typhus
Victim Dies:
IS Now Sick
Government Fails to Take
Over State Quarantine
Station; Transfer Ex--
pected Within Two Davs
No New Cases Reported
DR.. Copeland Declares Com
ditions Are Better Though
Danger Is Not Yet Past

The third death from European ty-
phus to occur at this port since the
health authorities began their cam
paign to exclude the peril brought here
by steamship passengers from the Le-
want was reported yesterday by Dr.
Leland Cofer, port health officer at
Quarantine.
Schulin Halbert, seventy-seven years
old, steerage passenger off the Italian
liner San Guisto, who was removed
from the vessel along with nineteen
others suffering from the malady on
their arrival last week, died at the
contagious disease hospital on Hoffman
Island. The body was cremated, as is
the custom regarding persons dying of
contagious diseases at the quarantine
stations.
No new cases of typhus fever were
reported by the physicians or health in
spectors yesterday, but it became known
that instead of there being twenty
Guisto at Hoffman Island there were
twenty-one of the immigrants under
treatment there prior to the two deaths
so far reported. One of the number
was said to have taken ill after the
commitment of the original twenty
from that vessel. There now are thirty
three immigrants undergoing Jreatme mt
at the Quarantine Station and Hoffman
Island, including the fourteen from the
steamer Presidente Wilson. Added to
these is another case from the Presi-
dente Wilson, which is being treated at
Willard Parker Hospital, and Mrs. Mary
Barnett, of Brooklyn, who is in St.
Mary's Hospital. All told thirty-five
persons are under treatment at this
port.
Station Not Transferred
The expected transfer of the state
quarantine station at Rosebank, S. l.,
was not achieved yesterday, SO far as
could be learned from Ellis Island and
Quarantine officials. DR.. Leland Cofer
said last night that he was in telephone
communication with the Surgeon Gen
eral in Washington during the day
and that he was told the matter of
transferring the station to the Federal
authorities would receive immediate
attention. DR.. Cofer was informed
that the change in title would be ac-
complished in d day or two. Ewing
Laporte, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, in charge of public health
said in Washington Monday night that
the government would take over con-
troll of the station probably yesterday
and that the Federal authorities then
would assume charge of the anti.typhus
crusade at this port.
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Commissioner
of Health for New York City, said yes
terday he had been informed that his
telegraphed requests for Federal CO.
operation in keeping lice bearing i'm
migrants out of the city had caused
President Wilson to make an execu-
tive order of the transfer Of the Quar-
antine Station. If this report is true
it is felt little delay will be had in
making the transfer and in the provid-
ing of the necessary staff and facili-
ties to combat typhus fever at New
York.

rned to his apartment on the eighteenth

E. M. Evans, DR.. Antonio Stella and
DR.. Francis j. Murray. Two priests,
the Rev. Father E. E. Molinellli and the
Rev. Father Joseph Congedo were sum-
moned to the apartment between 10 P.
M. and midnight.

apartment early in the evening and
oxygen was administered. When it was
discovered that the tenor's condition
was alarming, Bruno Zirato, his private
secretary, Immediately communicated
with members Of Caruso's family.
Park Benjamin Jr., Caruso's brother
in-law, and Mr.. Benjamin's wife were
among the first to reach the bedside

become worse.
New-York tribune., 1921-02-16

Two priests, one from the Sacred
Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church
and the other from the Church of the
Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary, were
summoned and the last rites of the
church were administered.
At 2 P. M. Caruso was reported to
have been in coma, but regained
consciousness and smiled at his wife
as. she sat beside him. At 2:30 A. NJ,
William J.. Guard, press representative
of the Metropolitan Opera Company,
VINO rushed to the hotel Immediately
upon his return from Philadelphia on
an early morning train, reported that
the tenor's condition was "some bet
ter"
Mr.. Guard was accompanied to the
hotel by several members of the Metro
polltan Company, who had given a per-
formance in Philadelphia earlier in the
evening. They included Antonio Scott,
warm personal friend of the tenor's;
Florence Easton, Orville Harold,
Thomas Chalmers and Otto We'll. Nu-
merous admirers of the singer went to
the hotel early this morning when they
learned of Caruso's condition. Onlv

negro elevator pilot, Clarence Jones,
who stuck to his post, the manager.
Charles Shindler, assured them that
there vas no danger. His assurance
was n6A generally accepted, and there
was steady pattering of bathroom
slippers for the outer corridors and
the open air.
The fire is believed to have been
started from q cigarette dropped
through a sidewalk grating to an up
holstered chair which was stored with
some other household furniture in the
sub-cellar.
George Mcdonald, a clerk in the drug
store at 208 West Forty-third Street,
saw smoke issuing from the grating
and notified Patrolman William Heff-
ran, who turned in an alarm. Diiers
in the St. Louis Restaurant, at 206 West
Forty-third Street, deserted their din
ners, but soon returned. By the time
the firemen arrived the crowd had as
sembled from the Times Square dis
trict generally, causing some delay.
The fire was soon e4tinguished. The
damage to the hotel, drug store and
restaurant will amour 20 about $4,000.

To Times Square Hotel Fire

A smoldering fire in the sub-cellar Of
the eleven-story Times Square Hotel, at
206 to 20S West Fortythird Street,
about seventy-ive feet from Broadway,
precipitated what was at first thought
to be fashion parade, demonstrating
the new styles for the summer of 1921,

The hotel is frequented mostly by
theatrical people, and when actresses

hearsals of "Monna Wanna" began to
rush out of the building the theater-
going crowd just simply forgot to keep

Barry, who directed the reserves, which
were summoned from the West Forty
seventh Street station to handle the
crowd, at least 5000 persons gathered
with suddenness which came close
to breaking existing records.

LONDON, Feb. 15.-Sinn Feiners at
tackled railway train from ambush
at Innishannon station, twelve miles
southwest of Cork, to-day. Eight per-
sons were killed, seven seriously in
iured and others slightly hurt in a
furious battle which was waged be-
tween the republicans and force of
forty British soldiers which was
aboard the train.
The dead include six civilian passen-
gers, one of whom was woman. and
two members of the attacking force
Three soldiers, two railway officials
and two women passengers were seri-
ously wounded. Others aboard the
train were less seriously hurt.
The republicans attacked simulta-
neously from the entertainments on
both sides of the track. A relief train
this afternoon brought the dead and
wounded to Cork, where most of them
lived.
An unidentified body was found in
the suburbs of Cork this morning to
which was attached card bearing the
inscription, 81. r. A." Irish Republi-

hal fired on republican forces at some

Doomed Sinn Feiner Escapes
An audacious rescue of Sim Fein
prisoner under sentence of death was
made from Kilmainham jail in Dublin
last night, when Francis feeling, con-
demned to die for the murder of Lieu
tenant Angliss in Dublin November 21,
1921, was freed by ruse Another
prisoner held in connection with the
same case but who had not yet been
tried also escaped.
Shortly before the curfew hour a
party Of Sim Feiners disguised as
British soldiers marched to the Jail and
demanded that the prisoners be handed
over to them. Presumably they dis
played forged credentials. The au-
thorities discovered too late that the
rescuers had taken advantage of the
laxity of relations between the military
and civil authorities IN ireland.
Two other prisoners, Conway and
Potter. held in the Angliss case are
still in custody. feeling had declared
both of them innocent of the murder,
Whether their status will be affected
by feelings escape has not been indl-
Gated, but it IS reported in Dublin that
both men have been condemned, al
though their sentences have not yet
been promulgated.
This is the most daring Jail delivery
In Ireland since 1918, when q score
