RESCUED BY RESERVES.
Bewildered Fugitives Led to
Safety Through Pail That

During a four alarm FIRE that did
100000 damage in the Elko Candy
factory at No. SS Clinton Street, Just
off Delaney Street, early to-day.
scores of residents of nearby buildings
who had gone to the roofs got ''lost"
In the smoke and squads of reserves
from the Clinton Street Station. half
a block away, were sent UP to pilot
them to safety.
II was one Of the smokiest fires
the east side has seen. The pail not
only drove hundreds Of tenants to the
streets and roofs in their nightclothes,
but temporarily halted traffic over the
williamsburg Bridge. the Manhattan
approach of which is near the build
ing that was burned. Laden with
fumes from the burning sugar. mo.
lasses and other factory materials, th'
smoke became so dense persons could
not see through 1t at a distance of a
few feet. 1t enveloped the bridge and
spread as far as Brooklyn.
Many Of the 200 families in the
reighborhood. awakened by smoke fill-
ing their apartments, ran direct to the
roofs. They soon lost all idea Ct direc
ton in the smoke there and began
calling for help. 1t was to civ. them
safe escort down ,neighboring scuttles
that reserves were sent.
There was less danger from a spread
Of the flames than from the choking
cloud that poured from all floors of the
building and drove practically every
body except firemen from the imme-
diate neighborhood.
The fire had spread throughout the
Ave stories of the factory before II
was discovered at $50 A. NJ. Deputy
Chief Helm sent a second alarm. and
when Deputy Chief Martin came he
sent a third and fourth. Commits.

The firemen suffered severely dur
ing the several hours they were en-.
gagged in fighting the blaze. and had
to relieve each other at brief intervals
They had to do their work mainly
from fire escapes and roofs near the
building.
At times. flames shot almost across
the street and thirty or forty feet
through the roof. Part Of the rear
wall fell while the firemen were still
at work. but no one was hurt.
The fire prevented cars Of the Third
Avenue Railroad Company's system
from running over the WILLIAMSBURG
Bridge and persons coming from
Brooklyn or going to that borough
were delyed by the trouble. They
were obliged to use the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit cars or elevated lines
Gallons of water came out Of the
building, carrying along In the floot
quantities of candy. giving the water

neighborhood dived in the water in

Stein Awarded Damages After
Wife Confessed IntimacieS
With Broker Defendant
Her Story Called Sorid.

The jury before which the suit for
$50,0O0 damages brought by John N.
Stein of Lyndhurst, N. j., against
Edgar IL. Kane, a stock broker and
resident of that place, for the aliena-
ton of the affections of Mrs. Eva
Stein, gave n verdict this afternoon
against Kane for six cents. Five
women were on the jury which heard
the case in the Bergen County Court
at Hackensack.
The verdict was returned af-
ter few minutes deliberation and
while the principles to the action
we're at luncheon. The women jur-
ors, for whom one of their number
acted as spokesman. said they were
much impressed with jury duty, hut
had they known the sordid character
of the testimony to be offered they
would have asked to be excused
During the summing up of the case
to-day Mrs. Stein became hystertcal
and had to be carried from the court
room, moaning: "Oh my good name.
my good name; it is gone"
Mrs. Stein confessed intimacy with
Kane, which he denied. In his sum-
ming up, Addison Ely, attorney for
Kane, denounced Mrs. Stein as a
poor, deluded criminal woman trying
to get money from his client-Kane.
FIFTY thousand dollars is a lot of
money for a woman like that" said
the attorney, and, turning to the wo-
men in the jury, continued: How
much would you give tor her If she
we're put up for sale? She was worth
less as a wife. She never was a wife
to the plaintiff. She only pretended
to be his Wife"

the narrowest sort from collapsing
chimneys and walls.
Tho American Embassy was slightly
damaged and many OF the exhibits at
the Peace Exhibition were broken.
The shock was one OF the most Sc
we're experienced here in a long period.

ALLIES TODEMAND
RUSSIANS END ALL
EVAS|0NS AT ONCE
Seven Questions Presented to
Clarity Intentions at Con-
ference.

GENOA, April 26 Omitted Press).--
Seven categorical questions will be
presented to Russia by the convening
powers of the Genoa Conference to-
day. Prompt answers are demanded.
Lloyd George, no less than the
French, is determined that the Soviet
delegations evasions and contradic-
tions. which have brought the parley
dangerously near disaster, must cease.
The questions to be submitted are
designed to clarity previous contra
dictory and confusing statements by
Chicherin and his colleagues. They
were prepared by Allied experts and
submitted to the Allied chiefs for ap-
proval. They have not yet been made
public but are understood to be:
Is Russia prepared to recog-
nize she Is not going to get the
$2.50O. 100000 loan, and to discuss
credits?
If so, does she intend to per-
nit a modicum Of Allied super
vision to guarantee those credits?
Does Russia now understand
that when the Allies propose to
write down" war debts they do
not mean wipe out?"
Exactly what is the Soviets' at
titude toward restoration of
private and foreign property
rights in Russia?
Will Russia reiterate it's inten-
tion to pay her pre-war debts
without constantly interposing
fresh conditions?
Can the Soviet delegation agree
to get down to work with the
Allied experts and lay aside its
public propaganda?
What, exactly, does Russia In
tend to. do about her counter
claims? Has she dropped them
as she stated?
Practically the whole progress of
the parley depends upon, the Rus
slams answers. The unusual diplo-
macy OF the Soviet representatives
has baffled the most astute minds
among the European statesmen pres
ent. The Russians, they say, seem
not to understand the meaning OF
basis for discussion tavorite

Complaint Is made that after three
weeks OF Genoa the Allies are no
nearer to knowing just what Russia s

guilty OF attempted robbery In the
second degree
He was set free until June Fl under
parole TO former Judge William NJ. X.
Olcott. both on this charge and on
another, in Special Sessions, for car
rying a revolver. He was commended
by Justice Finch and Assistant Dis
trict Attorney r. c. Murphy as having
had the bravery to do more than any
one man to break the force Of the
recent outbreak Of highway robbery
and burglary which has practically
terrorized the city for many weeks.
The utmost protection the police, the
District Attorney and Mr.. Olcott can
give was promised to him on his
pledge to continue the revelations

Slabery cordially and all unknowingly

Roddy. incredulously. "He was a
Captain in the Shipping Board Ser
vice and know him well. Somebody
has made an awful mistake" He
slapped Slabery on the back.
The sea captain, big fellow, thirty
years old, began to cry and in an hour
had told the story OF his underworld
experience since December. when the
Denneton Castle was put out OF com
mission and he was out OF work-the
story which Assistant District At
torney Murphy told Justice Finch in
court to-day.
II began with the captains ldling
around bootleg saloons In the vicinity
OF First Avenue and 51st Street,
where he had grown up. He renewed
acquaintances with many former
companions and especially with mem
bers of a family whose members have
attained a criminal record as long
and black as any in the police books.
He also took to drinking steadily and
often.

Mr.. Morelock told the police he and
his wife had never quarrelled during
their three years of married life and
he could ascribe no motive for her
action. Mrs. Wills said that on their
way home from a motion picture
theatre last night she and Mrs. More
lock were attracted by a hat in a
milliner's window.
MY husband would buy me that
without any question If asked him."
Mrs. Wills remarked at the time, to
which the younger woman replied,

make enough to buy me clothes"

been declined by the Legion. 1t was
Mr.. Smoot's own proposal and not
that OF the Finance Committee.
1--WE have neither abandoned the
House bill nor agreed upon any sub
Etitute," said Senator McCumber,
Chairman of the committee, to this
correspondent to-day.
Inquiry at American Legion head
sluarters disclosed the fact that with
the exception of few minor details
there is virtually no change in the
position of that organization, which Is
insisting that the House bill be
adopted.
The fundamentals in the new pro-
posal made by the Senate Finance
Committee in its informal talks with
. the American Legion are substantially
,Uhese:
First, the House bill provided that
payments in cash be made in October,
1922, and the Senate wants to make
It three months later-January, 1928.
There is no objection from the Legion.
Second, there has been a sug-
gested limit on the time the soldier
could make his application for any Of
the five ways of receiving bonus.
The Senate committee proposes to
eliminate the time limit, which, of
course satisfies the Legion.
Third, the House bill provided that
II the number of days man served
entities him at the rate of 81 or
S1.25 depending upon overseas duty)
to a total of $50, he shall receive
cash. The Senate suggested the total
cash be raised to 800. The Legion
cissents because the outlay under the
House bill would be about $4,000, 900,
while 1t might cost 500, ,000. 900 under
the Senate plan. The Legion is anx-
ious that the immediate cash outlay
shall not embarrass the Government.
-, Fourth. the Senate committee pro-
,srboses also that even If the total due
an ex-service man amounts to 500 or
less he shall be privileged to choose
7the adjusted certificate plan. This, of
Course, does not displease the Legion.
Is,
Fl ?. aid in the purchase of home
or a farm as covered in the House
hill would enable man with 5000 due
him to get that sum advanced toward
I u mortgage. The Senate committee
uggests ;400 be the limit and that
abe payments be made in instalments
OF 5000 year, beginning January,
1923. The Legion feels the total
amount should be advanced at once.
Sixth, the Senate committee has
proposed that, as an incentive
toward the taking of the certificate
