Two inert crouched helpless upon the narrow stone coping of the fourth floor, slxtj ftst above the horror-stricken crowd that tilled Chestnut street from curb to curb while the fire raged lu th Fritz & La Hue building today. Kverj second or two n dense wave of black smoke broke from the burning building behind and poured over them, com pletely obscuring them from tho fnsci nutcd gaze of the crowd below, but each time It reeeded a sigh of relief invol untarily arose from the spectators as It was seen that they were still s-nfo. Several times one of the men made a movement ns if to lean into the street. but wns restrained bj the frantic mo tions of the firemen, who culled loudlv that the hook' and ladder apparatus was on its way to the scene. After what seemed to be an interminable time to the anxious spectators, but was In renli- ty only n few minutes, the huge ladder wagon made its way down Seventeenth street and turned into Chestnut. Here was another delay because the police had not yet had time to clear tho street of the automobiles which were parked on the south side, and there was not room for the long wugou to make the turn. Escaped Just in Ttime Finally the narked cars were moed away and the ladder wagon rushed to a position in front of tho burning build ing. By this time the smoke was eu veloning the men in n murky nail which Ainnde it difficult for the operators of the ladder to raise It to the proper point. However, this was soon nctiiiiiiillshed, although to the crowd, who knew thnt the Iies of the men now hung on a few seconds, it seemed terribly slow. The ladder wus hardly In position be fore tho firemen bwnnned un to tho d.iu- Kor point. The fact that they might bo saved gave the men fresh strength, and with assistance from the nreuien they were able to crawl upon the ladder and begin their descent to the street nnd safety, amid a chorus of hearty Utters from tho crowd.

The foice of the fire alone would have swept both men from their place into the street four stories below , even if its great .volume would not have caused a more awful death. A great shudder passed through the spectators as thej visualized the trnged) which had beeii so narrowly averted. Hut the fire, cheated of two victims by so close a mnrgin, had still a terrible tragedy in store. Crowd Srcs Ladder IJrenk No sooner hud the men reached safo- tv than the firemen again nwnrmed up I the ladder with chemicals to throw Into I the worst of the blaze. The ladder hnd been erected with great haste to save I the lives which a few moments before i bad hung in th balance nnd there had J Jcin no time to readjust it, or perhaps 't was weak at some vital point. At '""J' rntc the firemen hnd nenrly reached the ton and had dinnneared from the view of the crowd in the black nmoko which, by this time, entirely covered the front of the building on the two upper floors. Without the slightest warning appar ent to the spectators, the ladder buckled above its center and then broke, hurling the firemen to tho pmcment far below. The fire lines had not jet been run and th crowd, realizing the tragedy of which It had been tho unwilling wituoss, rushed to the front of the. building eager to render 1113, assistance possiblo to the bruised nnd broken men who lay in front of it. The police, both mounted and foot, then began the clearing of tho street lu euinest. with the exception of one who galloped up Chestnut street In search of 11 truck. Just above the corner of Chestnut street on Seventeenth he found It, a small gray our, and It was rushed through the Impromptu lire linos to the scene.

An ordinance previously introduced to grant n franchise to the same com pany was vetoed by the Mayor becnuso of a ten-cent faro clause and other pro visions to which ho objected. P. M. Itnymond, nn nutomoMlo chas sis manufacturer, headed the delega tion which today nought a favorable opinion by the Mayor on the now ordi nance. Mr. Raymond said that if the fran chise wcro granted the , company, it would begin the oporation of thirty three bnses on Broad street by the mid dle of September. He said the city's return ot D per cent of tho gross receipts would amount to :,000 annually. "Are you incorporated?" Mayor Mooro asked. Air. Itaymond replied that the com pany was not incorporated, but had filed an application for a charter. Questioned as to whether or not the company'a capital stock of $100,000 was paid in, Mr. Itaymond replied that it was being taken up rapidly., The Mayor then told the delegation that the company was "taking u chance," in asking for permission to run buses "on tho best streets in Philadelphia" without n charter. "I wouldn't want to see you lose money," he said, "but it is my duty to look after the interests of the city ns a whole." The Mayor nlso objected to thp bus ordinance because it provides that, If the bus lino Is n financial failure, the citv shall tnko over its operation. He also objected to tho bus Unu proj cot on the ground thnt it would clutter up llrpad street, and might result In damage Milts against tho city. The delegation assured him that tho com pany would be bonded against damages to the extent of 550.000. The ordinance, introduced jesterday and referred to Council's transportation committee, leaves tho question of fares to the Public Service Commission.

ABERTHAW CONSTRUCTION COMPANY I PHILADELPHIA ' WMT END THUS! insT , aeiTtN aurrL6 LANE WILL STUDY IT "Undo Dave," at Atlantic City, Will Look at All Anglos of Situation WALKS TO STEEL PIER Atlantic City. N. ,T.. July 21. Back In the "nmen corner" on tho Steel Pier this morning, David H. T-nnc an nounced his Intention of making n careful study of the Philadelphia transit situation before he commits himself definitely with respect to the extraordinary situation arising from tho Stofesbury withdrawal nnd tho np pnrent advantage accruing to tho .Mit ten faction. "Uncle DavoV progress from his summer headquarters, when ho re turned yesterday, nftcr eight weeks in a Phllndejphla hospltnl was in the nn ture of a triumph. Mr. Lane insisted upon walking the entire distance tn the pier, no mean achievement for n veteran of nearly eighty-one years. JJ( was obliged to stop several times and each halt was marked by n sinnll ovation from friends, who hastened to extend their congratulations upon his recov ery nnci return to tho shore. . "Uncle Dave" intends to convince himself that the surprising develop ments in tho trausit situation arc en tirely bonafide. "I havo never figured Mitten as n financier," he said, with u character istic frankness. "I know ho is nn organizer of the hlglwst caliber. On tho other hand. I have never questioned for a minute Mr. Stotesbury's exceptional qualifications as a financier. It seems to me that it the income from a utility is not suffi cient for its requirements the obvious tiling Is to raise the fare, as has been douc in other cities. "I am going to study tho whole proposition from all angles beforo I reach uuy definite conclusion. Naturally us a stockholder I am interested in 11 sufficient income to meet all require ments." Mr. Lane was not interested in the retirement of Colonel Morden us chief of the street cleaning department. In ropl to the statement it wns hinted tho Morden retirement wns due to a declination to bo dictated to by poli ticians, the veteran sniffed vigorously. "What mnkes me binile," he said, "is that Frank Caven, for whom I have the highest personal regard, should have been put into office ns director of public works ns a reformer. I don't think Mr. Caven makes any pretensions in that direction. I have known him for years. He wns, if I am not mistaken, n sub contractor, under Senator McNlchol. not so many years ago. He has the qualifications to give Philadelphia good service." Jlr. Lane disavowed today any feud with the nurso who "bossed" him dur ing his stay in the hospital. She ac companied him to tho pier this mornint, an ulert-eed. competent oung womau. "Uncle Dave" included her in presents tions to his visitors. Touching her arm wif.li every semblance 0f highest regard, ho baid : "Nobody knows how much I owe this ouug woman." Philadelphia, Mr. Lano said, will give Harding und C'oolidgc a whooping big majority this fall. "No matter how much wo may disagree on local issues, wo all get together for the national ticket." ho said. "I don't know a great deul about the candidates personally but I do know the platform they arc miming upon cannot tail to win."
