J., wss destroyed by five-alarm fire of un- known origin in spite of the efforts of the entire Staten Island fire-figllt- ing forces, IA companies from Man hattan and three fireboats. Although the flames spread rapidly under the impetus of strong wind, no one was injured.
 Four hotels and 65 summer homes in a nearby bungalow colony which were destroed were but inadeauately covered by insurance. Three hum dred families had been ordered by the firemen to vacate their dwellings, and half of them had removed their furniture to points of safety when the wind shifted and turned the flames in another direction. D
 The crowds which focked to the scene from all parts of the island became so unmanageable that all available reserves were summoned to keep them out of danger. The flames were plainly visible to thousands of persons in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Long Island and New Jersey.

MAYOR DISAPPROVES
 GAS STATION BILL
Vetoes Proposed Ordi. nance Easing Restric-
 tions on Filling Places

Mayor A. M. Paonessa today ve- toed a resolution adopted at the last session of the common council by which 1t was intended to allow the erection of gasoline filling stations within 100 feet of church, school or public building, this being a change from the present restriction of 200 feet.
 The mayor favors continuance of the present ordinance. He feels that filling stations within 200 feet of such structures are close enough, he has stated, and he feels that nothing should be done to encourage the in- crease of filling stations.
 Mayor Paonessa, after several days consideration, approved this morning the resolution which would empower the building commission to refuse permits for buildings which, in their opinion, would detract from the beauty of a neighborhood or cause property reductions. This is the ordinance that Judge John H Kirkham proposed to fight what he termed real estate hold-ups."

Early Morning Fire in Ansonia Does Damages
 of $30,000

Ansonia, Sept, 27.--Ten families were driven from their homes at 2 o'clock this morning by fire in the three story building at 415-421 Main street owned by John Mackowski. Damages estimated at $500 were caused by the blaze which gutted the furniture store of Simon Spector and the grocery establishments of Vim cent Donnarumma and Theodore Lubin on the ground floor. The greatest damage was sustained by Spector whose loss will likely exceed s12.000 with insurance of s7,0O0. The other losses range from $500 to $500. all the storekeepers and two of the tenants being insured. The other tenants carried no, insurance and lost most of their household be- longings. ,..
 The front of the building is of brick, the rear being of wood, with wooden verandas to the third floor. The blaze started under the lower veranda in the rear of the building and is believed to have been caused by cigarette butt. Most of the ten- ants had to be aroused by Officer Donate Breda of the police force who carried. out boy crippled with rheumatism and assisted in rescuing several of the tenants who were un- able to find their way through un- lighted railways in the dense smoke. Two alarms were sent in for the fire which was in a dangerous neighbor- hood. The 'firemen soon had the blaze upder control, keeping the fire confined to the section of the block where it started. Most of the damage to the store stocks on the ground floor is due to water.

 TO HAVE ESCAPED POLICE DRAq, o,.
Hanifin and the Supposed , SlOO,OOO Slips Through Meshes in New York and Now Is Sought Farther South. ...

Springfield, Mass, Sept. 27.-In the belief that William ]. Hanifin, missing guard of tho Union Trust Co. who disappeared Thursday with sloo,OOO of the company's funds, has escaped the police dragnet in New York, the locaN authorities to- day were extending the search farther south. Chief of Police w. J. Guilty returned last night from Hartford, Conn, where he with members of the local police detec- tive bureau went Thursday night on receipt of word that Hanifin had been seen to leave train in that city.
 Winthrop I. Davis, local repre- sentative of the Massachusetts Bonding Co. today offered a reward of t$2,500 for information that would lead to the apprehension of Hanifin. This was done on the ad- vice of Chief Guilty. The general police tone appeared bit less op' timistic than formerly of the early capture of tke missing guard.
 Officials of the bank today ex- pressed no confidence in the theory that Hanifin had an accomplice Police investigations in Hartford late yesterday proyed that Hanifin after buying a suit case in that city, left for New York within less than an hour. This was established by Julius F. Jepson. who identified a picture of Hanifin as the man he drove in his taxicab to Fordham' N. Y. where he left him at the ele- yated station. Hanifin was traced in part by the s2O bills he spent.
