Gang in Action.

Broadway in tie vicinity of Forty
seventh street was overhung with
clouds of heavy black smoke for al
most two hours last night through a
stubborn fire that choked the basement
OF the five story brick building at 245
West Forty seventh street. The build
ing adjoins the Strand Theater and
Roof Garden in the rear, and some of
the smoke got into the tkeater, but
none Of the audience noticed it and
the manager had the windows and
doors closed. The performance pro-
ceeded with the audience unaware
that outside TIE Fire Department was
fighting a blaze.
The blaze while It was confined to
the cellar and did little damage, was one
of the most Stubborn the department has
had to handle in a long time. The
smoke and the noise Of the apparatus
drew crowd of more than 1000 per-
sons, but they were kept in check by
the reserves Of the West Forty-seventh
street station. Because of the smoke
Smoky Joe" Martin. deputy chief. sent
his men into the cellars In relays, and
presently had to summon additional ap-
paratus and more firemen. although
none of his force was overcome.
Traffic in Broadway was diverted 20
Seventh avenue, and the firemen had
the flames 50 we'll In hand that the
police could handle without difficulty
the after theater motor car rush. The
fire was extinguished only after The
firemen had chopped through the floor
of the building and demolished the
sidewalk lights outside.
The fighting of the fire was watched
by Lieut.. Commander Sir Sampson
Slade of the London Fire Department.
and his chief engineer. John Clifford.
They went into the cellar with Deputy
Chief Martin and noticed how the New
York firemen handled their work. Sir
Sampson and Mr.. Clifford are In this

SAYS BROKERS GET
PERMITS TO STEAL
Banton Denounces Contract
Sent to Customers by Down
town Stock House.
PLEDGES MADE UNSAFE
Stock Exchange Authority In
sists Power Over Securities
Is Entirely Legal.

District Attorney Banton made pub
lie yesterday an anonymous letter with
an enclosure. purporting to be form
of contract of a member OF the New
York Stock Exchange. which he con-
sidered to be an attempt by the broker
age house to circumvent the law.
The contract would obligate a GUS
toner TO permit the broker to loan or
pledge any security In the customers
account without regard to the brokers'
Indebtedness to the customer or further
notice TO the customer. Mr.. Banton
said:
"It means that the customer who is
foolish enough to sign the contract puts
power into the hands of the broker TO
steal and leaves him no chance to
prosecute for the crime"
An officer of the New York Stock
Exchange, when informed of the mat
ter. said he did not believe II was an
attempt to evade the law. He insisted
the contract was nothing new and was
done, on the other hand, in compliance
with the law.
The paragraph in the form Of contract
referred to by Mr. Banton reads:
THAT all securities from time to time
carried in my account or deposited to
protect the same may be loaned by you
or may be delivered in the usual course
OF your business or may be pledged
either separately or together with other
securities for any sum whatsoever with
out regard to the amount of my indebt-
edness to you and without further or
other notice to me-"
The form is prefaced by letter stat
ing that "n order that we may comply
with the law passed by the Legislature
of this State, and in order that we may
continue to transact business in accord
ance with the rules Of the New York
Stock Exchange" the addressee Is asked
to sign his consent to the preceding
paragraph.
The District, Attorney said that the
charge of Judge Johnstone in General
Sessions in the case of Howard E. STAN
ley. bucketing broker who was convicted
recently as plain thief, caused the
brokerage house to send out the letter.
In this case Judge Johnstone, referring
to section 956 Of the Penal law. held
that the 'lien of broker extended only
to the amount of Indebtedness Of GUS
toner to him and that conversion OF
security beyond that amount, under GER
tain conditions. constituted larceny"
