Korn Saves Wife and Four Children From Possible Suffocation The alertness and coolness of John D. Korn, a contractor, of 6012 North Tenth street, Logan, early today pre vented a Are In his home from spread ing and saved his wife and four small children from possible suffocation. Korn was awakened by an odor ot smoke. He arose and ran down stairs to the first floor. Flames', darting from a blaze In the cellar, were eating through the flooring and had already burned away a hole in the floor. I The contractor ran upstairs again through a thickening cloud of smoke 'and aroused his wife. The couple then' gathered up their four children, threw Wraps,-about them and ran from the house, seeking refuge with a neighbor. As the neighbor telephoned" a local Alarm to Chemical Engine Company No. 8, at Thirteenth street and Oak lane, Korn returned to his home and went into the cellar. He was almost overcome by the smoke from a blazing pile of rubbish, from which flames were shooting to the cellar celling. Ho did his best to check the flames until the firemen arrived, They quickly extinguished the Are. l I ;'.":" FACTORY HflMK WI1RK SrfiRFn Uf Km w .. . r S h f . X ' I - .

CITIZENS TO DRAFT STATE CONSTlfUTION Commission of Representa tives May Submit Outline to Convention ' John S, Sargent's famous painting "Lady Eden." wilt be added to the Wllatach collection, In Memorial Hall. It was" purchased at an exhibition In New Tork yesterday by trustees of the Wllstach estate. The painting, Is one of the most cele brated of the Sargent portraits, Intrlnst-' cally rind by association. Lady Eden was the wife of Sir William Eden, art connoisseur and collector. Sir William was one of the parties -In the notable action in. the French fcourts described by Whistler in his Jjook "The Baronet and the Butterfly." Sir William had ordered a portrait of his wife. Whistl6r thought that the contract called for guineas. The baronet paid, fn pounds. The artist, In a rage, thereupon' painted out the face and made instead of Lady Eden a portrait of the wife of Captain John Oakman, of New Tork. Whistler was successful In his con tention that nn artist could not be com pelled to deliver a painting If he was dissatisfied With the conduct of his pa tron, but he had to return the money represented by the check, which the baronet described as a "valentine" when he slipped It Into the hands of the man of igenlus on St. Valentine's Day. Fallings to compel Whistler to paint Lady Eden, Sir William engaged Mr. Sargent to do so. Mr. Sargent's portrait of President Wilson also Is hung In the Knoedler Galleries, with the caption, "Lent by the National Gallery of Ireland." In another roirn is Timothy Cole's wood engraving of this picture. Both of these have been carefully guarded from reproduction. SECOND BLAST VICTIM DIES Andrew Cavanaugh Succumbs to Injuries in Fort Mifflin Explosion Another victim of the explosion at Fort Mifflin Is dead today. Andrew Cavanaugh, 660 North Fifteenth street. died last night at Methodist Hospital. He was blinded and burned all over the body. One man, Charles F. Dolley. 7144 Elm wood avenue, was killed outright by the explosion, making the- total deaths two. The two men Injured are still at the Methodist Hospital. They are Berger Anderson, 2246 NorthThirteenth street nnd'Edlbo. Del Vecchlo, 1369 Moore street. No official report giving the cause of the blast has been' given. A commission of twenty or twenty- five representative Citizens of the State may be appointed to draft a. new State Constitution and submit It to the pro posed constitutional convention. Suoh a plan is understood to have re ceived the Indorsement of Republican StAte leaMers following a series of dis cussions concerning the need of a new Constitution. It Is probable tltiU a bill to provide tor the appointment of such a commis sion will be Introduced fn the next Legis lature. Whether the proposed convention will be held In the early or latter part of the Sprout Administration has not been decided and1 will be the subject of con siderable discussion during the Legisla ture this winter. Some of the leaders, Including 'the Goernor-elect himself, liavo not defi nitely determined whether the work ot revising tho Constitution should be gone ahead with at once or whether It should be delayed until after the period ot re construction has gotten under way. Governor-elect Sproul Is understood to have taken kindly to the suggestion that a commission be appointed to aid the proposed convention In Us Work. It has been pointed out that many months were consumed by conventions In New York and Ohio because no ten tative draft ot a constitution was sub mitted to them. They were forced to work out tho draft without aid. William Draper Lewis, dean of the University Law School, favors the idea ot a small body thrashing out tho per plexing questions and then submitting them to the convention. He believes much time ahd -expense could be saved by such procedure. ' Alba B. Johnson, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, who Is It terested In the propose'd revision of the charter for, the city, was one of the first to suggest tho appointment of a com mission to aid tho Stato convention. As the convention will comprise about 600 men representing every city and county in the State, Mr. Johnson pointed out how much the work of the larger body would be facilitated by having a small group of trained men draw up, a tentative draft of te proposed State Constitution. Loan Fund to Meet City Pay Rises The temporary loan of $800,000 to run not more than four months at the rate of 4 14 per cent per annum, has been placed by the City Treasurer with the city's new fiscal agent, the Philadelphia National Bank. Tho proceeds will be used to pay tho 10 per cent salary In crease boilUS Which hail been prandwl Imunlclpal and country employes for the last six months or this year.
