in Fighting Flames When
Called Into Action.
By a stan Correspondent of The star.


BRENTWOOD, Nd, December IT,
Although handicapped by being deaf
and partially dumb, William Cissel, "a
years old, has developed into one of
the best volunteer f1remen In Prince
Georges County.
At the solicitation of his friends, Cis-
sci joined the Mount Rainier Fire De-
partment last year. He developed a
method of communicating with his fell
low firemen by signs and became one
of the fastest men on the drill team.
When the team participates in hook
up contests, CiSsel takes his place in
line. He Is unable to hear q blast of
whistle or discharge Of q revolver,
but when such a signal Is given one of
the other firemen taps him on the
shoulder and he jumps into action.
In actual fire fighting, one Of the
other firemen stays close to Cissel to
give such instructions and warnings as
may be necessary by means of signs,
but the handicapped fireman actually
needs very little help and seems to know

Sued By Secretary

New York, April ? (Pl-The pres ent Mrs, H, H. Rogers, widow Of Basil Miles. diplomat and economist whose death in 1928 is reported to be under investigation in Washing ton. was one of three persons against whom a suit for S750,0O0 damages was filed in state supreme court here last year.
 The action was brought by Ed ward E. Kern. a former secretary of Colonel H. H. Rogers. Kern charged that Mrs. Mar9it Borbala Braun Rogers and Andrew and Marie Zichy maliciously caused his discharge. He alleged that one of their reasons was an investigation he had made at Rogers request into Mrs. Rogers anteccdents and life before her mar riaSc to the oil man last year.
 One of the questions contained in kern's petition, which he said he would ask in open court, was wheth- CT the present Mrs. Rogers had told the colonel that she was an illegiti- mate daughter of the late Franz Josef, emperor of Austria Hungary. Attorneys for the defense charged this question was put merely to give publicity to the kerns suit and mad4 an unsuccessful effort to have the papers sealed.
 Reports that a settlement out of court for q large sum had been ef- 1ected were published in February Of this year but attorneys for the parties to the action declined to comment on them.
