NO NEW CALLMEN
 FOR FIRE FORCE
Proposed Increase of Re. serves" Only Rumors,
 Commissioners State

Rumors during the past week that the board of fire commission CTS planned to add g number of callmen to the city's flre-hghting force have caused the members of the board to be besieged by appli- cants, their relatives and their friends, all bent on the same pur- pose. Despite the current reports, none of the fire commissioners has indicated that any action on ap- pointments will be taken in the near future, but those seeking ap. pointment to the force have appap- ently taken for granted that men will be named as regular flremen this year.
 Hence, when the fire board holds it's second regular meeting of tho year in the commissioners rooms at fire headquarters, there will be more than the usual interest in the session. It will be recalled that in it's only meeting of the year thus far, the fire board filled the vacancy at the top of the depart ment roster by, naming Thomas J. Lynch, popular veteran, as chief to succeed the late Henry H. Heit- man. The move had been taken for granted all along, but 1t was nevertheless unexpected at the first meeting of the new year. At the same time, the board advanced Captain Thomas Cavanaugh to the post of deputy chief, in which ca- pacity he had been acting for some months.
 There are vacancies in the de- partmeut which can be filled but action on the part of the board early in the year Is problematica1. There are scores of applicants list- ed for appointment as callmen, some of whom have highly influen- tial support in political circles.
 Some observers attach signif- icance to the fact that a chief and deputy werer appointed in the fire department, though the vacancy had existed only since last fall, whilepno action has been taken in the police department, where the post of deputy superintendent has been open since last spring. It is argued along these lines that for the same reason, further action can be expected by the board of fire commissioners in naming new callmen to the regular force.

Patrolman John Denardo took the stand in superior court today and before Judge Frank P Mo- Evoy and jury described the ex- perience of having a gun poked in- to his stomach with the command: "Stick lem up-don't move or I'll plug you"
 The oficer identified. Daniel O'Connor, IS, who is being tried on charges of aggravated assault, as the holder of the gun and who gave the threat.
 Trial of O'Connor began with the selection of a jury this morning. After Henry Gebhardt, photogra- pher, who took pictures of the scene of the assault at Roseland avenue and gBidwell, street, Officer Denar- do took the stand.
 He was visibly nervous as he told of making his rounds, early in the morning of Dec. 18th. It was about 2:35 a. m. when he reached the building housing the Handy Kitch- en, Emil's Gril and First Nation- al store. He went to the rear to try the doors. (

TWO ALARMS FOR
 TENEMENT BLAZE

Damages of several hundred dol lars resulted this noon hour when fire broke out in the second floor of tenement house located at 15 Simsbury street and occupied by Charles Mulholland and MT and Mrs Charles Franke and family. The flames worked their way from the second floor into the attic and then to the roof. A telephone alarm was followed quickly by Q bell alarm. Four companies of apparatus responding to the calls found 1t difficult to ascend the steep incline of Simsbury street.
 The fire destroyed considerable furniture and clothing and ruined the interior of the rooms on the second floor. The cause was un- known at the time the firemen were on the scene, but an inves- tigation was immediately started by the fire marshal and his aide.
 The Mulholland house was one of three homes badly damaged by fire about 8 year ago.

New York. Jan 22-(UP)-Nes- tor Fernlein,s home for 23 years was a two-by-six cranny In a cheap Bowery hotel which contained a cot and nothing else. For 23 years he took his meals at the Ritz-Carl- ton, one of Manhattan's most lux urious. and expensive hotels. Fern lein was 84 when he was found dead in his cubicle. He had died in his sleep. Beneath his pollOw were bank books showing he possessed $S.571. Unless a relative appears, the state will get his money.
 He polished silver at the Ritz Carlton, first for SIS a week and meals, Then, when age slowed down this polishing, for few hours a day at sra week and meals. Fernlein left his Bowery hotel, j0urneyed uptown through the siums, brcakfasted at the Ritz-Cari- ton and returned to his Bowery hovel until 1t was time to return and polish silver.
 Neither residents of the hotel nor fellow workers knew much about Fernlein. He kept strictly to himself, spent no money, had no friends. The Bo, cry hotel has q cafeteria in it's basement. One of the other occupants of the $1.75 a week rooms invited Fernlein down. stairs for coffee. That coffee!" ex- claimed Fernlein haughtily. "Why. I couldn't drink that coffee! You should have coffee at the Ritz sometime"
