Battalion Fire Chief Hugh Colgnn nnd
six llremen were severely burned about
their heads and faces this morning while
lighting a fire In Bridesburrf Chief Col
gan was tho most seriously injured. Ho
refused to go to a hospital, and, after re
ceiving temporary treatment, remained
on the scene and directed tho firemen In
their work. Tho other men aro Itusscll
Stackhouse, Charles Welser and William
MoKnlght. of Engine Company No. 7, and
Albert Broadbent, Sylvester Lelby nnd
Harry Shultz, of Engine Company No. 14,
i ney were nlso treated at the fire.
The chief and llremen wero engaged in
extinguishing a blaze in the religious sup
ply store of Joseph Wcsotowskl, Almond
and Orthodox streets, when tho ceiling
of the storeroom fell upon them. Other
firemen helped them to get out of tho
building and beat out the flames that en
veloped their clothing.
Tho fire destioyed the stock of Weso
towskl's store, entailing a loss of about
J.WO, and damaged the contents of tho
basement of tho building, which was oc
cupied by tho Polish American Citizens'
Club. Tho loss to tho club Is said to be
about J10O0, which, with damage of nbout
11000 to the building, brings tho total loss
to MOOT
Although Wesotowbkl had nt llrst
thought tho fire was caused by enemies,
it la believed that It was started by an
overheated stove, since no person was
seen near the building previous to the
discovery of tho Hie, and a large holo
burned near tho stove Indicated that the
blaze had started there.

The sound of crashing glass and jan
gling tinware aroused Policeman Joe Hill
from a reverie as he stood at East Clrard
avenue. Glancing down the street he was
amazed to see a man tossing pitchers
and cup3 In the air for the edincatlon of
a number of youngsters. Several of the
cups broke In the street Then the Jug
Bier simply stepped to the front of a
crockery establishment and took a fresh
supply from a stand on the sidewalk.
When a pitcher broke he did likewise.
At one stage of the game he had a dish
pan, two glasses and a coal scuttle
whirling through the air at once, Tho
cop made a dash for the juggler and
readied hhn just as the proprietor of the
storu discovered the ruin.
"There Is no cause for excitement." aald
the open-air performer. "I'll pay for the
damage," He figured that he broke seven
glasses and five cups and paid the pro
prietor 60 cents.
Then he pad to clear the street of the
debris. And afteriall that he was taken
to the East Qlrard avenue station. The
prisoner saii he was Charles Ross, of
California, and told Magistrate Stevenson
he was practicing up for the summer
fairs,
"I usually spend the springtime In
Cuba," he muttered somewhat unsteadily,
"because It Inspires me In my work."
"Well, you'll have to go to a cheaper
resort temporarily," the Judge replied,
"and we call it the House of Correction "
"I'm glad the authorities take so much
Interest In me." answered Jtoss
James Augustus Crockett Is the cham

awake until midnight of the next day
and then started out on a Jamboree which
lasted a day or two more. There uio
many who believe that James Augustus
sleeps with his eyes open. This may have
been the case today when he was hunt
ing bearB on Qlrard avenue. He was
shooting at a big grizzly In front of a fur
rier's shop, but the bear never moved. If
Crockett had gone close enough to the
animal he would have noticed that It was
rooted to the spot with cement. Being
merely a stuffed grizzly. It had been In
the same place for years.
The hunter didn't seem to see Police
man Joe Barr when he arrived and simply
looked blank when he was requested to
stop shooting. In fact, the cop had to
shake Joe to prove that he was around.
He also had trouble In convincing the
prisoner that his revolver waa unloaded.
When he faced Magistrate Stevenson,
at the Katt Clrard avenue station, Crock
ett said that he was the man who never
slept.
"A wideawake man like you should
have a Job," said the Judge.
"I'm a hunter," said Crockett.
"You have hunted trouble this time,"
said the Magistrate, "and you will find
happy .hunting grounds at Holmesburg on
the Delaware for the next three months."

The actual loss of revenuo to tho Rnpld
Transit Company through tho operation
of tho Jitneys Is not revealed by tho
company. It Is significant that Inspectors
have been stationed nlong Broad street
to keep tab on tho number of cars thcro
nnd count tho passengers. Thcso In

of the company In stationing them nt tho
corners. The compnuv has also ordoied
all street superintendents to notify tho
company bf nny Jitney lines they mny sco
In opcrntlon In their respective districts.
An ofllclnl of tho Quaker City Tnxlcab
Company, discussing tho effect of Jitneys
on the yenrly revenues of tho Transit
Company, estimated tho loss at moro than
$2M,0OO a year on tho North Broad street
section alone.
Tho tnxlcab companies maintain that
tho Jitney has In no way affected their
returns. From tho nature of their state
ments, they havo ovldently mado a Btudy
of tho Jitney service. Taxi companies
point to tho expenses of operating, and
say that the Jitney cannot bo kept In
operation ns n permanent ndjunct to
tho ndmlttedlv poor transit facilities of
tills city. They nlso point out that
tho rider hns no Insurance against dam
age If anything should befall tho jitney,
while, they say, taxi riders have.

A wordy battle between JIaglstrnto

today, when James Kelley, of 500 N'oith
41st street, charged with maintaining nn
insanitary stable, was cross-examining
Pamtiel Mitchell, uttnclied to tho Bureau
of Health. While Kelley was questioning
the health officer, Magistrate Beaton told
Davis not to prompt tho prisoner with
questions. Davis was not tcprcsentlng
Kelley. Ho had a seat near the table
occupied by newspaper men detailed to
cover hearings in tho couit. Davis de
nied that ho had been coaching Kelley.
Thereupon an oxcliango of words fol
lowed. Magistrate Beaton threatened to
eject Davis from the courtroom. Davis
replied that he was a citizen nnd had a
perfect right !n tho courtroom.
Kelley was held in $500 bail for a fur
