WILLIAM H. 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

in the game, and the speed he made
coming down Third street attracted
much attention.
William H. 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.

William H. Harris. The funeral of
Mr. Harris will take place Monday af

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.
Superintendent Pomeroy, who ts
authorized to have the printing done,
Baid this afternoon that he would take
