HARRIS Hope fireman who died on way to Harrisburg Hospital after being over come by smoke. called to his mother that he was going to send In an alarm. With nothing on but liia pajamas, the boy started j for the fire alarm box at Second and Cranberry streets, pausing a man on the way. Young- Cumberland broke the glass with his hand and pulled down the hook. Fire Chief John C. Klndter and his assistant, Edward Halbert, were about to leave the Hope enginehouse and made good time getting to the | fire. Not earing to tako chances. Fire Chief Kindler called in the "Three Twos" and later called the Camp Cur tin and Susquehanna companies by telephone. Fire Was Moving Fast Six streams were on the building in short order. The blaze was on the first floor, but the open stairway gave the flames an areaway to reach the I top of the building. Several times it I was feared the fire was getting beyond | the control of the firemen in spite of their good efforts. Three streams were playod on the roof from the roof of the Ober stable on a corner opposite the prlntery, and this brought good results. The fire men fought the flames from all sides and kept up the supply of water until the fire was driven to the lower floor, where it was finally extinguished. The firemen worked until 4.30 o'clock this morning, when all were relieved ex cept those from the Hope company, who remained on duty all day. Stable Hands Did Good Work As soon as the fire was discovered employes at tUe Ober Brothers' stable got the sixty-two head of horses out safely, blanketing? each horse. They later removed the carriages and wagons to a place of safety. Six of the horses were on the second floor of the stable. All windows and doors to the stable were closed tightly and every precaution was taken to prevent sparks from getting to the haylofts. The contents of the Harris uphol stery plant were removed to the front of the building. This shop is located in Cranberry street and is separated from the Aughinbaugh building by a small alley. No efforts were made to get out the contents of the ware houses in which the State documents were stored, or the stock of the Rub berlold collar plant at the rear of the burning building. Mrs. Cumberland, who resides at 236 Court street, called her two sons and other members of the family and they carried out her furniture. The members of the Cumberland family escaped in nightclothes and were cared for at neighbors' homes until this morning, when they were able to move back home as the Cumberland house was only slightly damaged. The Aughinbaugh Plnnt The Aughinbaugh Press employs 110 people. Up to two weeks ago the plant was working night and day. Many of the employes did not know that their jobs were gone until they j reached the ruins this morning. Many of the girl employes reside across the river. Will Resume Business Captain William H. Warner, man ager for John L. L. Kuhn, stated this afternoon that business would be re sumed. He said: "I will not venture any estimate as to the losses at this time. Mr. Kuhn was at the Are all night and will not be able to take up the question of losses until late this afternoon. Until we get at the records in the safes and moke an estimate of what printing | and machinery was not destroyed, it will be difficult to fix the amount of the loss. "I understand that the presses and linotypes are in fairly good shape and that some of the printed matter, barring a drenching, was not damaged to any great extent. I understand that most of the State work was well under way. There were also many other outside contracts in hand, in cluding printing for various counties throughout the State. As soon as con ditions will permit a clearing up of the ruins will be started." Fire Chief Returns Thanks Fire Chief John C. Kindler this aft ernoon expressed his thanks to the firemen for their good work and close attention to duty. The chief said re garding the origin of the blaze: "I cannot yet say what caused the fire. It started in the rear of the first , floor, where there was considerable printed matter, and spread rapidly to the top floors." Telegraph Fire Department Busy The alarm from Box No. 61, Second and Cranberry streets, was an in dication that the fire was close to the Harrisburg Telegraph plant, and employes lost no time in getting to their various departments to line up for duty. I The Telegraph building is equipped ' with a number of fire doors. These I were closed, as were all the windows. On each flor one or more lines of hose were run out and placed in read iness for immediate use. Fire ex tinguishers were also prepared for ac tion. Nearly every member of the I Telegraph family was on duty and re gained until all danger had passed. With the employes of the Harrisburg Telegraph were also many of the ten ants of the main building and friends, who weer ready to lend a hand if nec | essary. The fire caused volumes of smoke and the high wind spread it through out the lower parts of the city and to parts of the East End. Hundreds of people got out of bed and scurried to the -cene of the fire. Few, how ever, took chances In going into Court or Cranberry streets. Ropes were placed at a number of corners to keep the crowds out of danger. Old Frank Goes to the Fire For the first time in five years, Frank, the old Citizen horse, who had been on the pension list, did duty last night. Members of the Citizen company were using Frank to col lect the articles for their Fair which opened at Third and Boas streets last nigh t. When notice ;vas sent to the Fair hall that there was a fire, the Citizen firemen Jumped Into the wagon and Frank made good time in getting the men to duty. The old horse, it ia [said, realized that he was again back STATE PRINTING FIRES AND LOSSES Benjamin Singerly plant, brick structure, Third and Blackberry streets, on site of present Star- Independent plant, November 5, 1873.

Whissler, the night watchman at the property, who was on his way from the third floor where he had completed his hourly inspec tion, found the rear of the lower floor in flames. He started for the tele phone when he heard someone calling on the outside and learned that an alarm had already been sent In. Whissler tried to get to the office but the flames drove him back. The watchman waited until the firemen arrived when he directed them to the rear where the flames were making considerable headway. Insurance Carried The printery building is owned by H. a. Hartman estate, and is cov ered by an insurance, the amount of which is not positively known. The Aughinbaugh plant was also insured. ] Mr. Kuhn would not say what the total amount of his insurance was. A special meeting of the Hope com pany was called for this evening at 7.30 by the president, A. H. Kreidler. Action will be taken on tho death of William H. Harris. The funeral of Mr. Harris will take place Monday af ternoon at 2 o'clock. Service will be I conducted by the Rev. Harry Nelson Bassler, pastor of Second Reformed | church and chaplain of the Hope com- I pany. Other arrangements will be I announced at the meeting to-night. Fireman Overcome, Dies The one fatality in connection with the tire was the death of William H. Harris, one of the oldest members of the Hope Company. He joined tho company when he was 17 years old and only recently was appointed a fire patrolman. Less than half an hour after the fire started, Harris was carried from the burning building un conscious. While an ambulance was called he was put on a porch at Court and Pine streets. When a doctor ap plied a hypodermic injection the man revived. lie asked to be taken home. He insisted on walking to the ambu lance. But it was a last effort; for when the ambulance containing the fireman reached the hospital he was dead. Harris was a machinist at the East End Boiler Works. He Is survived by a wife and five children, Alexander, Harry, Robert, Mrs. T. W. Trotter and another daughter. His son Harry went along with him to the fire. His wife had urged him not to go, saying, "You will not be needed." But he insisted on going and Harry went along. The son was holding horses for the Hops Fire Com pany when he heard his father was hurt. He at once hurried to his father's side. No Panic in Theater Hundreds of spectators poured into the narrow space to watch the flames. The most came from the Orpheum Theater, which was just about leaving out The audience filed out in an orderly manner and there was not a trace of a panic. ■ The theater crowds scurried over crossings to get out of the way of the plunging, speeding engines, and those who lingered near the scene of the fire fled in swirled knots of humanity as seventy terrified and rearing horses were led from the livery stable of Ober Brothers, across the street from thft burning building. The rush of firemen in shifting hose carried several spec tators to the mucky street. Although in danger that was real and at times imminent, and although warned by firemen and policemen to clear back from the alley, the crowds of the curious, among whom were many women, stayed for a long time watching the flames. The engine and truck of the Good Will company, tearing down Sixth street, was warned just in time by a Workman, who ran out, yelling in a loud voice and waving a red lantern, that the pavepient was torn up on the side that the fire apparatus was com ing down. Cat Mews For Unities Peanut, a big gray cat that was the pet of the whole force at the State Printery, is disconsolate to-day, and goes about with a mournful wailing mew, as she pokes her nose here and there among the blackened debris. Employes of the plant first noticed her this morning when she appeared walking in and out among the ruins. Then it was discovered that Peanut's three kittens had perished in the fire,. How the big cat herself escaped is a mystery, and equally strange is the puzzle of why she did not take tho kittens with her. Prooably terrified by the smoke and flames, she rushed away and found an egress, and then later found it impossible to return Man Who Suffered Heavy Loss Singled Out by Pretty Vaudeville Actress Thin wisps of smoke were curling through the Orpheum Theater shortly after the alarm sounded and the pun gent odor of burning wood was more than evident during the final act. William Coulsen, the door-keeper, was told of the fire and quietly sta tioned ushers at the various exits to guard against any possible emer gency; then he notified the stage man ager. Pretty Miss Lohmuller tho "girl In tho moon" rose in the illumined lunar swing and sailed out over the audi ence—singing. She had smelied the smoke and wa\a trifle worried at first because she thought the blaze was In the theater. As she was swung out over the heads of the applauding spectators, she saw a couple of peo ple leave 1 the theater. Other folks noticed it, too, but thought the 'cross river car schedules were responsible. The men who wore operating the ma chinery that regulated the pretty singer's aerial appearunce, quieted her fears. She was assured that they would take care of her. In the parquet the odor of smoke grow stronger but most folks believed this due to the shots that had been fired In an earlier act. In response to the applause, Miss Lohmuller was again swung over the audience am l she took her flowers along. Part of her act Is to select lucky spectators, swinp low until she just hovers overhead Then she bends down and pins a car nation upon the man. Where's tho Fire, He Asked As she leaned over to place the first flower last evening, the man whispered: "Where's the fire?" "I—l don't know, sir." replied the actress. Then she took up the thread of the song again. The moon and Mins Lohmuller sail ed off the stage for'the la.«t time rind then the curtain was lowered. Ft' It settled down just a trifle precipitately ARE YOU AN EPHRAIMITE? " Shibboleth" was a password. The Ephraimites " could not frame to pronounce it right." They said "S'ibboleth," thus betraying their origin and were slain by the Gileadites. Is two cents the Shibboleth for Philadelphians who do not share with the Public Ledger the desire to give Philadelphia the greatest newspaper of the country? the pleased crowd of departing theat ergoers didn't realize the cause—until they reached the Walnut street side walk. The street was full of thick smoke. One of the last to leave the the ater in the leisurely outgoing' crowd was the first man to get a flower. This was John L. L. Kuhn. Telephone Operators Rush in When Alarm Sounds to Aid in "Curiosity Calls" One of the interesting sidelights on la«t night's fire was commented upon to-day by telephone people. Ref erence is made to that spirit of loyalty on the part of the operators of tele phone companies which brings them to tho front at times of emergency. ; Shortly after the alarm was sounded ! last night quite a number of the op erators of the Bell Telephone Com pany rushed into the operating room at 210 Walnut street, some of them out of breath in their hurry to get to the office to ascertain if their serv ices were needed. Shortly after the fire alarm was sounded last night, and particularly after the general alarm was sent in, hundreds of people took down their receivers to ascertain the location of the fire. The telephony company tries to discourage these calls, which they term "curiosity calls." The telephone company realizes that people having property interests near the location of the fire are entitled to know the exact location of the fire if the operators are in a position to give the Infor mation. Unfortunately, by reason of the large number of calls which are offered at the time of a fire, it is Im possible for the operators to handle all of them satisfactorily, and It is also impossible to distinguish between "curiosity calls" and calls of a legiti mate nature. Another feature which the telephone people talk about ls that while hun dreds of people are trying to ascer tain the location of the fire, merely to satisfy their curiosities, someone may find it necessary to call a doctor or put through a call of an emergency nature, and it will be impossible for the operators to pick out tho call from among the hundreds of other calls, with possibly dangerous results on the part of a calling party. The operators know h6w seriously the telephone officials look upon this rush of business immediately follow ing a fire and their sense of loyalty sends them to tho relief of the other operators as soon as an alarm is struck if they happen to be in the neighborhood of the office. Last even ing as one of the telephone officials was entering the Walnut street office an ex-operator, who left the company several years ago, stopped him and volunteered her services. States Loss Is Fully Covered by Insurance Thousands of volumes of State pub lications were either burned or water soaked In the fire which destroyed the Aughlnbaugh Printery last night, and it will be days before the extent of the salvage can be ascertained. Super intendent of Public Printing and Bind ing A. Nevin Pomeroy said to-day that he could not ascertain the extent of the damage to publications, but that as far as the paper Is concerned the State carried $30,000 insurance on the stock and much of it Is thought to have escaped, as It was in an annex which was little harmed by the flames. The most serious loss which may be occasioned by the fire may be because of the Legislative Journal, the printed stenographic report of the proceedings of tho session of 1918, which was awaiting binding. The appendix was also awaiting binding and the Index was being set up. The copy for the appendix Is in hand and a lot of po litical thunder is thereby saved, but the index may be lost. The House Journal, tho official record, is prob ably destroyed. The Senate Journal was handled by W. S. Ray, whose con tract as State Printer began In July when that of the Aughlnbaugh estate ended. The Aughlnbaugh estate got all of the work prepared before July and In addition to the legislative print ing, the fire may affect about 12,000 bound copies of Smull's legislative handbook for 1913, some of which had Just been printed. Departmental publications which are either destroyed or damaged In clude: 1910 Health, State College, 1909 Adjutant GeneralSe, 1912 Stuto Treasury. 1911 Water Supply, 1912 Internal Affairs and 1912 Fishery re ports: the beef production bulletin of the Department of Agriculture: six re- ports of the Geological Survey; two reports of the Chestnut Blight Com mission ;flve volumes of State Archives and two of statutes at large which were being republished, and many bulletins. How much of these reports can be saved Is not known and there are vigorous hunts in progress for copy. The 1910 Health report was b.irned in the firo In the printery last year. This is Its second destruction.
