MILLIONS IN LIQUOR
!. THREATENED BY FIRE
$50 Men Working in Tunnel Under
High Air Pressure Rushed
to Safety.
BY the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January IA mill
lion dollars worth of liquor stored
at internal revenue bonded warehouse
No. 2, was threatened tonight, when
a. fire swept through the seven stories
of the Miller & Thompkins Paper
Company's bag plant adjoining the
warehouse. near the Manhattan end
of the New York-New Jersey We
hicular tunnel. Five alarms were
sounded.
Believing that the paper plant was
doomed, fire fighters concentrated
their apparatus on the liquor ware
house.
One fireman is reported to have been
seriously injured, and calls for addi-
tional ambulances were sent out.
One hundred and fifty men, working
under ground ITO feet from the mouth
of the tunnel, were ordered out as a
safety precaution, when officials
feared that the contents of the ware
house or the paper plant might ex-
plode and wreck high-pressure all
lines strung opposite the buildings
sand hogs working behind the
shield in the tunnel.
Evacuation of the shaft progressed
rs swiftly as possible, considering
that the men had to be brought
gradually from the high-pressure at.
mosphere to normal above ground.
Owing to the congestion of tunnel
material in the streets fire engines
could not get near the burning struc-
ture, and the work the firemen was
therefore greatly hampered.
Seven other firemen were injured
one seriously. by a back-draft explo.
sion, bringing the number of casual
ties to eight.

of the College of Physicians and Sur

/ are turning out enough doctors to
supply the needs of the country at

There is a very real lack in the
rural districts but this lack is more

the opportunities in the rural dis

younger graduates this problem will
not be solved by charging the

Increased Appreciation.
| DIR. Darrach asserted that the great
! increase in applicants for admi ssion
to medical schools had forced the in
stitutions to devise some means of
determining young men fit for the
study of medicine.
Academic standing alone cannot
