Collins Planned Changes.

LONDON, Aug. "a Associated Press
AT the time of his death Michael Col
Inns had under consideration plans to re-
draft several sections of the constitution
of the Irish Free State so as to placate
the more radical Republican elements.
This was made known today by Michael
Francis Doyle. Philadelphia lawyer, who
arrived from Dublin where he went to
consult with the members Of the provi-
sional government. Mr.. Doyle had several
conferences with Collins and on the day
before the latter went to the south where
he was killed, went carefully over the diff
ferent points of the constitution which it
had been planned TO redraft.

Dorothy Jardon. an opera singer for

Company, was rescued from the third
floor of building at 15S-160 West
Forty-fifth street, when q fire on the
first floor of the building brought fire
apparatus into the crowded tneater dis
triet last night ~
The building, a six story structure,
is only short distance from Broadway,
adjoining the rear of Loew's New York
Theater and opposite Loew's new State
and the Lyceum theaters. The State
and the Lyceun.. fearing the changing of
the fire gongs would throw their audi
ences into excitement and possibly re-
suit in panic. ordered the outer doors
closed when the apparatus began to ar
rive. and a man who said he spoke for
the management of the Lyceum went so
far in his precautions as to request the
firemen to remove their engines from
IN front of the house.
Miss Jardon, who is we'll known also
in musical comedy and vaudeville, was
i'm the office of the Sam Fox Music
'front.' talking with Miss Katherine
Joyce. the manager. when the lire
started in the rear of the r.. and f.
Lingerie Shop on the ground floor.
Smoke had been drifting into the office
for some time, but they had paid little
attention to il. They were thrown into
confusion when, attracted to the VIM
dow by fire gongs. they were cautioned
to stay back" by the crowd In the
street below. who thought that they
were going to jump from the window.
Firemen had just battered down the
front door of the store and the smoke
that was released rose and drifted into
the Fox offices through the windows.
Two firemen, realizing the danger OF
their being suffocated. hurried up to the
third floor after seeing them at the
window, and found them suffering
acutely from the effects OF the Amoke.
They were directed to throw their wraps
over their heads and the firemen then
led them down two flights of stairs to
the street. Neither required medical at
tention.
The fire in the r. and T. Shop was of
unknown origin and caused damage
of only about $500.
