FIREATHARRISBURG
CAUSES $150,000 LOSS
Thirteen Business Structures
Destroyed 31 Persons Are
Homeless
HAnnisnURO, ra , Sept 1.-Flre that
started In the Talace Lunch Room, near
Uh and Chestnut streets, about 2:30
o'clock this morning destroyed the
Haynes & Maxwell garage and 12 other
business etructures, made 31 persons
homeless and resulted In a property loss
that will approach $1M,W0.
The fire was one of the most spectac
ular In the history ofthe city. Doicns
of rersons had narrow escapes from
death and a number were rescued In their
night clothing, after having been over
come by smoke. Large quantities of gas
ollne and oil In the garage and storage
rooms caused the flames to spread rap
Idly through the buildings adjoining, alt
of which were old and most of them of
framo construction. Tho firemen did not
get the flames under control until they
were stopped by (he heavy brick wnlls
of thu Uoehno brewery.
An explosion In tho kitchen of the
Palace Lunch Room, the naturo of which
has not yet been ascertained, was Imme
diately followed by an alarm, but before
the lire apparatus arrived tho frume struc
ture was ablaze from top to bottom, and
the flames had spread to the garage and
other nearby buildings.
A brisk breeze drovo the flames from
3d street back toward Chestnut, and set
fire to a number of small apartment
houses. Rooms over the rcstaurnnts and
stores along tth street also were occupied
by lodgers, most of whom were asleep
at the time. Dense smoke Ailed tho
buildings, and not a few of the sleepers
were overcome before help reached
them.
By tho time a general alarm had been
turned In seven buildings were ablaze
and tho flames were threatening the
Uoehno Estate brewery. While firemen
wero arousing the occupants of the burn
Int: buildings, gasoline explosions In the
garage, where E4 pleasure cars and trucks,
many of them new, wero stored, caused
the flames to gain new headway and for
a time It looked as though the entire
block would be destroyed.

COPS FLIRT WITH UNDERTAKER
Director Porter Says Political But

Director Porter denied today that po
licemen were wearing the Porter buttons
and boosting his campaign In general.
The director received several complaints
today that the Germantown police were
wearing his buttons and boosting his cam-
P"U8 all bosh," he said. "In the first
place. It would be strictly against the
police rules and regulations, and, In the
second place. Lieutenant Buchanan and I
do not agree on political questions. It Is
hardly probable, therefore, that he would
allow his men to boost me. Any police
man who wears a button Is flirting with
the undertaker."

HANGING AT CITY HALL DESPITE
LAW AGAINST SUCH A PRACTICE
Statue of John Christian Bullitt Rudely Lifted by Its
Neck From Pedestal Standing in Path of
Transit Tube Excavation
y
There was a hanging In this city today,
despite the law that all executions must
be via the electric chair. This violation
of law occurred right in the shadow of
the City Hall, where the guardians of
law and order hold forth.
The person hanged was John Christian
Bullitt. But, you will say, John Christian
Bullitt Is dead. So he is, but his statue
still lives, and if there is to bo real high
speed transit in this city there can be no
respect for the memory of tho dead. John
Christian Bullitt framed the Bullitt bill,
as the city's charter Is known.
A rope was placed, noose-llke. about
the bronze neck of the aforesaid J. C. B
Hnd he was rudely yanked from the mar
ble pedestal where for years. In all kinds
of weather, he has so placidly gazed
down on tho rush of traffic In South
Penn square. It was all done without
malice, however, and it was declared
that the framer of the charter felt not a
bit of pain.

COUNCILMAN MAKES DENIAL
Brandenstein Says Committee of
100's Record Is Incorrect
Lewis Brandenstein, Republican Organi
zation candidate for re-election to Com
mon Council, today denied statements
regarding his record as published last
Monday,
"My friends Insist I make this state
ment,'1 ho said. "It Is positively Incor
rect that I was discharged from the
city's employ on April 14. 19H, as alleged.
I received a leave of absence for three
months, beginning September 15, 1309, as I
had received an offer as a representative
of tfie Armstrong Truck Company, with
an exhibit at the Bourse Building. I
took this position on probation. On Octo
ber 15, 1300, I resigned as engineer and
fireman at the 2d street romping station.
Superintendent Fuller, of the Water De

"MASHERS" GO TO JAIL

jwo. alleged "mashers," given a severe
tongue-lashing- by the pretty girl whom
they accosted and followed early today,
seized her and brutally beat her before
her screams brought aid. Both the men
were captured by the police and were
threatened with violence by a crowd be
fore they were locked up. "
The girl Is Miss Evelyn Mills, of Race

was returning home from a visit to a

Race streets two men spoke to her. She

James P. McNIchol's firm. So pedestrians
found Mr. Bullitt sitting as usual on
his marblo pedestal, looking as calm and
unruffled as ever, but with thick colls
of rope entwined about his neck. A
gallows some said It was that was built
over his head, but the statue never
flinched.
Then a bell donged, an engine puffed
and a derrick began to strain at the
heavy bronze. The late Mr. Bullitt, sev
eral tons of him, swung to the breeze
there was a little wind today. Over Into
u corner they dragged him, where ho
would be out of the way. Some day, it is
.said optimistically,, the loop under the
Hall will be finished and Mr. Bullitt will
bo put back again.
Others may share the fate of John
Christian Bullitt. Even such a figure as
William McKInley, martyr President, may
have to bow to the advance of progress.
Arid an uneasy look was noticed today
on the bronze countenance of the late
Joseph Lcldy, and those two redoubtable
military heroes, Generals McClellan and
Reynolds.

TYPHOID THREATENS
OLD YORK ROAD HOMES
One Pnticnt Was Story Servant
and Another's Father for
John Wanamaker
Typhoid fever threatens the homes of
some of the most prominent residents
along tho York road section. It was
learned today that ono of tho victims
of tho disease now In the Ablngton Hos
pital Is the son of a man who works
In tho home of John Wanamaker. An
other victim worked for Julian 8tory,
till artist.
Harry Podds, 15 years old, Is the son
of n Wanamaker servant, who lives In
Jenklntown. One of Mr. Story's servants
contracted tho disease and was about
the place, It Is thought, for several days
befbre It was discovered that she was 111.
More than 25 cases have been re
ported to tho Cheltenham Board of
Health as having developed In the sub
urban section of Old York road between
Willow Grove and Melrose Park. The
exact number has been named ns 2? by
soveral persons In touch with the situa
tion, but owing to the nrea covered by
the cases none of the authorities Investi
gating the trouble was willing today to
confirm tho accuracy of the assertion.
"I should think that 27 cases Is very
nearly correct," Dr. M. K. Nelftcr, health
officer of Cheltenham township, said to
day. "I have heard that figure mentioned,
and although that number lias not been
reported to mo. I have no doubt that It
Is based on fact. No additional cases
havo developed In Cheltenham township,
where there were seven yesterday morn
ing." PORTER LAUDS MAYOR
AND PRAISES REGIME
Director Also Tells Jovian
League He Is Independent
Republican
George D. Porter, Director of Public
Safety and candidate for tho mayoralty,
defended the Blankenburg administration
today and attacked the Republican Or
ganization In an address delivered be
fore thb Jovian League at a luncheon in
the Adelphla Hotel.
Tho Jovian League Is an organization
consisting of electrical engineers, elec
tricians and salesmen of electrical sup
plies. "I recehed a letter today Informing me
that I was not a Republican," said the
Director. "The commulcatlon surprised
me. because I am a Republican and be
llevb In the application of all of the
principles of that party In national gov
ernment. But Jtepublican as I am I will
not take off my hat to Jim McNlchol, Ed
Vare or Dave Lane." v r
Tho Director then referred to his "op
ponent" without mentioning his name.
It wa3 gencralty believed that by his
"opponent" he meant Thomas B. Smith,
rather than Colonel Potter. He denied
the charge that Mayor Blankenburg had
discharged employes without cause and
said that among the greatest achieve
ments of the administration was the In
stitution of a system of awarding con
tracts under which all transactions were
public, every bidder enjoying an equal
opportunity.
Citing many economies accomplished In
various departments, he declared that
$J0,O0O had Been saed each year in the
heating of City Hall, as compared with
the cost Incurred before the present
municipal regime.
The Director concluded his address by
paying a tribute to the executive ability
of Chief Pike, of tho Electrical Bureau,
who Is a member of the league.
