FOUR ARE RESCUED
IN AUTOBUS BLAZE
Fire Follows Collision at 18th
and Kennedy Streets.
Victims Burned.

Four persons were rescued through
the windows of a burning bus of the
Washington Rapid Transit Co. shortly
before midnight last night, following a
collision with an automobile at Six
teenth and Kennedy streets. Both front
and rear emergency doors were touno
jammed after the accident, the police
reported, but the bus company officials
said the fire centered about the front
exit prevented escape there.
1 Two of the passengers, Mr.. and Mrs.
r. E. Ebert of Williamsport, Pa, who
are stopping at the National Hotel, re-
ceived burns and were taken to Emer-
gency Hospital for treatment. The 9TH
ers, who escaped with Slight burns, were
Roland w. Garner of 81 Hamilton
street, an inspector for the bus COM
pany, and Frank L. Mitchell, 80 years
old, of 705 Eighteenth street, driver OF
the bus. They were treated at the
scene.
John A. Pulley, 90 years old, of 1891
Ingleside terrace, driver of the colliding
automobile, was slightly injured and was
taken to Walter Reed Hospital for
treatment. He later was arrested and
charged with driving while intoxicated.
The crash occurred, police reported,
when the southbound bus was struck
while making left turn. Pulley was
driving north. Almost Immediately the
bus caught fire and when the passen-
gers attempted to escape, the police
state, they found both exit doors had
been jamnaed by the force of the colli-
sion
The flames were spreading so rapidly
that Garner kicked out one of the win
dows and crawled through it. When he
reached the street he assisted Mrs. Ebert
to safety.
The fire originated in Pulley's car and
spread to the bus. The bus was almost
totally DESTROYED.

more than passing notice, for he was
the pioneer Presbyterian clergyman of
this city, having been called and Or
dained pastor of the first Presbyterian
Church here In l7s5, and later ordained
as the pastor of the second church of
that denomination here.
Mr. Corcoran purchased this property
in 1852 from the Breckenridge heirs
and later sold it to the home for
$225, 900, almost the entire amount be-
ing paid in Virginia State bonds. which
had been for some years unproductive.
