pital. lunatic asylum, founding home
and refuge for aged and infirm Der
sons.
The fire broke out shortly before
midnight in the laundry. At frst II
seemed insignificant. but Il spread
rapidly to the neishboring wards, each
containing thirty chronic sufferers or
infirm patients, who were seized with
panic. Tho shrteks of the sufferers
mingled with the cracking OF the
flames. while tho atmosphere rapidly
became dense with smoke.
Nurses and doctors quickly cleared
tho bedrldden from one ward, and In
the next ward three of tho patients
managed to crawl out. Firemen
rushed to tho scene, but At the mo-
mont of their arrival electric lights
were extinguished. adding to tho hor-
ror OF the situation.
AZ the immense wooden beams Of
the hospital fell. there was a heavy.
grinding noise and tho pavement col
lapsed, buryinG twenty OF the chronic
patients and rendering access to the
wards impossible.
Carabineers, Royal Guards, nurses
and physicians made heroic efforts
TO save the unfortunates, rushing
through the smoke and fire and bring

Gov. Nathan l.. Miller, as the prin-

noon at the Hotel Commodore, de-
clared for municipal ownership of the
railways in Queens. for fve-cent

that if Mayor Hylan or any one else
had a plan to relieve the transit situa

added with n smile, tits violation
of home rule for the Governor to
interfere.
1.-THE Transit Commission has the
powers to solve the problem. 1t is
manifest that the proper development
of Queens requires a single unified
transit system serving the public for
a single fare.
"It Is necessary to redistribute the
population of Queens, to get the peo-
pie away from the congested districts
into the wider spaces which the bor-
ough affords. You can dc this If you
make travel comfortable, carrying the
people for a continuous ride for one
fare.
"Of course, this spells municipal
ownership, and II can be accomplished
only through municipal ownership"
Referring to the operation Of such
a system, Gov. Miller said: Il don't
believe in the Government doing q
thing which can be undertaken better
by private enterprise. The Govern
ment can't do it so efficiently nor so
economically.
Your controlling necessity requires
municipal ownership. You are already
in power. The city now owns the
backbone of the principal transit
SYSTEM What the plan should be,
what the details, l don't pretend to
say, as that's your problem. Queens
should be developed in every aspect.
Ony one who dares to play politics
with such a necessary need of
millions of people is assuming al
grave responsibility. The transit
problem has been obscured by political
discussion for four years"

HENNA HAIR FAILS
TO SAVE WOMAN IN
Sl,5OO FUR THEFT.
Female Taxi Robber Had
Black Hair. but Arrest Is
Made Anyway.
BY VICTIM.
Chauffeur Also Picks Out Her
Picture in RogueS'
Gallery.

The Identification of the portrait OF
the young woman with black hair in
the Rogues' Gallery as likeness of
the woman who had stolen a 1900
fur coat from a Lexington Avenue
dealer was supplemented to-day when
the dealers clerk, from whom she
took not only the coat at the point of
revolver but also his own watch and
money, identified henna-haired Mrs.
Josephine De Ciccio Of No. 1S2 West
llsth street as the robber. The theft
occurred in a motor car near Pelham
Manor, whittier the clerk was being
takes by the prottr yn,ng woman
ostensioiy to sho, the coat TO her
husband and prevail upon him to pur-
chase it for her.,
After this Identification Mrs. Ciccio
was led from the cell she has occupied
at Police Headquarters since her ar
rest at midnight and placed in the
automobile in which Chief of Police
Grogan drove down from Pelham
Manor to get her. She will be ar
raigned there this afternoon before a
Justice of the Peace.
Mrs. De Ciccio was dancing last
night at the Harvard Inn, Coney
Island, when Detectives Fiori and
lnnella of the Bomb Squad, took her
aside and showed her a photograph
from the Rogues' Gallery. 1t was q
picture of woman with black hair.
Mrs. De Ciccio has henna colored hair,
so she denied that it was likeness
of her. But they took her to Head
quarters just the same, because A.
Paul, a furrier of No. 741 Lexington
Avenue, had identified it as a por-
trait of the young woman who had
held Linn up and robbed him.
7 he robbery occurred on Jan. 10.
On that day a well dressed woman
went to Paul's store in a smart look
ing limousine and selected an expen-
sive fur coat. She told Paul that If
her husband sanctioned the sale the
price, $1,000, would be paid at once.
Her husband, she said, was at their
home in Pelham Manor and would
some one go there with her and bring
the coat along. Paul was willing and
everything went well until the car
was on a lonely road near a deserted
house. Then the woman brought out
a revolver and after relieving the
clerk of all the valuables in his
pocket and the coat ordered him out
OF the vehicle, making the command
emphatic with a flourish of the re-
voiver, He got out in hurry.
The woman then ordered the driver
to take her to the Hotel Astor in this
city. AS they entered the city the
driver tried to stage fake breakdown
near a police booth. but his passen-
ger told him that if he didn't run the
car he'd not be able to run himself in
a minute or two, so he went on south

COAL OPERATORS
AGREE ON PLAN TO
KEEP DOWN PRICE
For Period of Strike Hoover
Committee VIII Control
9itminouS Output.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Secre-
tary Hoover asked and obtained to-
day the approval of the leading
operators of non union bituminous
coal fields for a government plan OF
getting the coal industry, by volun-
tary action, TO put stop point on
increase of coal prices" during the
period of the existing coal strike.
The plan, which was approved by
about forty operators who met with
Mr.. Hoover, calls for the creation of
committee of operators, with Gov
tives serving on 1t, in each district
where coal is being produced through
which all orders for coal will be
cleared.
A similar general committee will be
set up in Washington and Mr.. Hoover
assured the coal operators that he had

Secretary Hoover met about forty
coal operators to discuss means of
checking coal price increases, after
some mouth of mine figures had come
to the attention of the Administra-
ton and President Harding had let
1t be known that steps would be taken
to meet the situation.
Mr., Hoover thought the rise from
about 81 ton at the mines to $3.50
and 81, as reported in some districts,
was unnecessary and due mostly to
competitive bidding and local condi-
tons which could be remedied by }

and the purchasing agencies Of public

Sir Edward Grigg announced on be-

afternoon that further advices had
been received from the United States
Government. and that it'did not seem
likely the United States would par
ticipatc in The Hague meeting, at
least until the scope Of the meeting
was better understood.
Asked TO explain the British dele

plified the American position con-

The aggression truce was
adopted unanimously at a plenary

ROUND TRIP IN 2 WEEKS.
Louis Dom, Wall Street EX.

of Relatives Here.

The yacht Casiana, owned by Ed
ward Doheny, President of the Mexi
can Petroleum Company. to-day fln-
ished race with death from Martin
ique, in the French West Indies, and
| won.
On board was Louis D'Orn OF the
firm of r. T. DOrn & Co., exporters
No. 81 Wall Street, and the ocea n
race against time, wind and tide was
to get him home where he could have
the best medical care and the services
OF the most skilled surgeons and
specialists. The condition of the pa
tient is said TO be still critical, but he
is safely in the home of relatives
here.
Mr. D'Orn had been staying at
Martinique representing his firm,
with his family. Three weeks ago
wireless was received here from
out of the sea that the merchant was
very sick man and that prompt
attention was necessary to save his
life. There are three brothers OF the
Dorn family, all members OF the
firm. Elisha Walker, President Of
Blair & Co., bankers and brokers of
NO. "a Broad Street, is a brother-in-
law OF the sick man.
Martinique is 1000 miles from New
York. with steamship connections in
frequent. Mr.. Walker appealed to his
friend, Mr.. Doheny, to lend him the
Casiana to make the trip. The result
was that in a remarkably short time
the palatial steam yacht was ready
TO sail from Jacksonville, Fla, with
instructions to take his orders from
Mr.. Walker and get a speed out Of
the fast-travelling craft to exceed
anything ever before attempted.
The Casiana carried as passengers
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker and their two
Mr. and Mrs. porn and c.
B. Vernon. Mr.. Doheny's orders to
shake the speed out Of the yacht were
obeyed to the letter. In a little more
than a week the Casiana was anchor
ed off Martinique. Word of her COM
ing had been wtrelessed and prepara-
tons for the transfer of the patient
had been made as far as practicable.
Inside of two days the Casiana had
weighed anchor and started on her
race with death through the seas.
Martinique was cleared May II and
the Casiana made the record voyage
in less than seven days between the
French West Indies and New York. |
