AFTER EMBLEM
Barry Amphiegian, an American. Suc
ceeds in Becovering the Cross—
Ceremony Witnessed by Bulgarian
Consul General, of Washington
Fully 1,000 people were attracted to
the banks of the Susquehanna river
this morning to witness the services
held by the Bulgarians. Macedonians
Rni Armenians of the borough in com
memoration of the baptism of Christ
in the river Jordan, which had for its
feature the throwing of a gilded cross
far out into the channel and its recov
ery by a strong son of the Balkans.
A strong northwest wind made the
river choppy and at the same time
drove the chill air through the specta
tors, some of whom were not attired
sufficiently warm for the occasion. A
small covered steamer was anchored
near the boat landing at tbe foot of
Francis street, and in this covered, boat
were the contestants who had volun
teered to swim the icy waters in the at
tempt to recover the cross.
too Stand Bareheaded Along Biver
Standing near the boat, but on
shore, with their shoes almost at the
water's edge, were about 100 young
Bulgarian and Macedonian men. each
active, alert and bareheaded. In the
center of this living wall stood the Rev.
Nickolo Pavaloff. arrayed iu priestly
robes, and close by his side stood Step

Along the outside of the group stood
four standard bearers, one with the
Stars and Stripes, another held aloft
the red, white and blue striped flag of
Bulgaria while the other two men sup
ported small standards of the local Bul
garian and Macedonian societies.
The services at the bank of the riv
er. which commenced at 10.30 o'clock,
consumed about 25 minutes and consist
ed of songs, chants and an address by
the Rev. Mr. Pavaloff, after which the
latter was taken into a row boat and
poled about 50 years from shore when
be tossed the gilded cross farther out
into the channed. The flinging of the
cross was the signal for the swimmers,
and like porpoises they dashed into the
water each making herculean efforts to
outdistance the other in nearing the
coveted prize. Harry Amphiegian, a
sturdy Armenian, finally distanced the
other men and siezing the cross, held it
aloft, which was the signal for furious
hand clapping by the hundreds on shore.
The other contestants were Peter Jali
neff. Stefan Sioanoff and Kostantin Iv
Standoff.
Biver Shore Crowded With Spectators
Prior to the exercises at. the river,
the Bulgarian church. North Front
street, was crowded, when the Rev.
Nickolo Pavallof held mass, whicn was
attended by Stephen Panaretoff and his
secretary, George Poulieff. A repre
sentative of Bulgaria, named Mr. Shop
off, whose business it is to travel over
the United States and other eountries
to locate and number the Bulgarians in
those countries liable to military serv
ice in the event Bulgaria decides to
abandon her neutral position in the
present European conflict, was also
present.
Consul General Stephen Panaretoff
and his secretary, George Poulieff. ar
rived in the borough last evening and
were guests of honor at a big recep

donians in the Franklin street hall later
in the evening.
In a short address to his felloe coun

an adress by William Smedley, of Phil
adelphia, organizer of the Retail Mer

which now numbers about 150 affiliated
branches and conducts one of the best

State.
The visitor confined his remarks to
the relations of a business men's or

vocated the erection of houses to rent
for $lO aud sl2 per month for the use
of the average workman, claiming that
the borough had enough houses at the

reach of the unskilled workmen to pay.
In commenting on this feature, 'Mr.
Smedley related an Incident in this
State where a business men's associa

town through the erection of goijd
dwelling houses at reasonable rents.

NINE MEN HURT
CMtlaaed Prw Ftrat !'»«*.
Patrolman Seymour who turned in an ;
alarm from Bos No. 212, Second and |
Market. Botimiller than ran to a tele
phone and called up David Kaufman,
proprietor of the store, telling him he
had discovered fire in the cellar near
the elevator shaft.
At 11.05 o'clock Fire Chief Kindler
sent irt "two-twos" bringing two en
gine companies, in addition to the ap
paratus responding to the first alarm,
and when the flames broke through the
windows and shot out into the square,
the chief sent "three-threes," a gen
eral alarm, bringing out the entire de
partment.
When the first firemen got to the
building san&ke could be seen at all
of the windows but there was no glare
of fire. However, before an improvised
water tower, on the Mt. Vernon ladder
truck, could be brought into play at the
third floor windows of the ' centraJ
building, a four-strocture, the flames
came so close to the tower that it had
to be moved back further from the
building.
Attacked From Many Sides
The Hope Company, with its »te.im
| er in front of the Bolton hotel, sent
i a stream into the front windows of the
second flaor. Other engine streams were
i played on the flames both from the
front and back. Streams also were play
ed from the roof of Cross' drt»» store,
Market street, and through fhe Cen
tral Democratic Club's window which
opens on a court at the north side of
the Kaufman building, through an al
leyway at the rear of the Kuhn Car
pot Company building ami from the
roof of the building of A. S. MeCreath
& Son, 011 Market street. Streams also
were played from the roofs of build
ings to the south pi the fiercely burn
ing structure.
The group of Kaufman stores con
sisted of a four-storv centra! Building
with a three-story "building on each
side. The central building was of
brick with metal and glass, for dis
play windows, in front.
For an hour the tire seemed to be
confined to the central Kaufman build
ing, but then it spread to the one to
the north. A wall between tbe north
ern Kaufman building and the building
of Solomon Kuhn, Market street and
the square, halted the flames. It was
2 o'clock when it .was seen that the
fire had spread to the cellar of the
Pomeroy store to the south.
A Stubborn Blaze
This was the most stubborn Maze to
fight. A partition runs down the cen
ter of the basement. The firemen at
tempted to flood the cellar, but that
proved too slow a process and floor
nozzles, which are operated from above
the floor and spray the joints, were
used both front and back with telling
effect. When the fire was finally de
clared ''under control,'' about 4
o'clock this-morning, the Pomerov cel
lar was three-fourths full of water.
The tire, though checked, was far from
conquered at that hour.
It was a hazardous fire to fight-and
there were numerous irtjuries. Art&ur
Patton, of the Reily Hose Company,
was caught in the doorway of the
Kaufman building as the glass started
falling from the upper doors. He kept
his position in the doorway, escaping
serious injury, but received several
small lacerations from living glass.
Two members of the Good WiU Com
pany,, William Smith and Harry Me-
Intvre, were dragged over River street,
when a branch pipe got away from
them and received cuts and lacerations.
Mclntyre was hurt about the shoulder.
He was not seriously injured but Smith
was taken to the Harrisburg hospital
for treatment.
Rescued Two Firemen
P. Ellis and Robert Wilson, both of
the Citizens Company, ventured into
the front door of the Kaufman store
at 3.30 o'clo k and fell through a
bnrned space. Both were rescued by
members of their company. Wilsou, who
resides at 1113 Wallace street, was
overcome by smoke before his compan
ions got him to safety and he was
taken to the Harrisburg hospital, where
he was revived. Ellis slight!v
hurt.
Samuel Diener. 2010 North Sixth
street, trod on a skvllflit ?n the root
of the Kaufman store at 2 o'clock and
was unconscious from inhaling smoke
when members of his coinnanv rescued
him. He was in such a serious condi
tion that he was admitted to a ward
in the Harrisburg hospital, nis condi
tion was said to be much improved this
morning aud it is expected lie will be
sent to his home late to-day.
Fireman Shoemaker Hurt in Fall
George Shoemaker, 121 North street,
a member of the Hope Company, slipped
from a laddersnd fell twelve feet, re
ceiving a severe bruise of the left side
of his chest. Physicians in the Har
risburg hospital strapped his chest to
protect any possible fractured rios. He
is a member-of the Governor's Troop
and was prevented from taking part in
the inaugural parade to-dav.
Harry Corkle. 410 South River
street, a member of the Paxton Com
pany, was treated in the Harrisourg
hospital for bruises about the head. He
jumped from a guide wire at the rear
of Kaufman 's store.
Falling glass in the Pomeroy store
this morning at 10 45 o'clock badly lac
erated the left hand of Charles Flamer.
330 Kelker street, a member of the
Reily Hose Company. He, too, was
treated in the Harrisburg hospirai.
A score of others received slight in
juries or were affected by smoke and
were treated bv their comraSw. The
smoke was particularly bad because of
the humidity of the atmosphere, which
kept the fumes low.
The city was filled with visitors here
to attend the inauguration and hun
dreds watched the blaze, but were kept
in hand well by the police, who early
established fire lines. It was an easy
proposition to rope off a sufficient space
for the firemen to work in because
standards for ropes for to-day's parade
had been placed yesterday by the City
Highway Department. * Rope* were
strung through these poles. Chief of
Police Hutchison was in personal charge
of this work.
Losses on Market Street
The fire -ssumed immense propor
tions almost from the start a<nd all of
the persons in ihe block facing Market
street from Second to River streets en
gaged in carrying o.it valuables. The
damage to these properties and to the
contents was principally from water
and .smoke and will reach several thou
sands of dollars, it is believed.
The business of E. Z. Gross, drug
gist, 119 Market street, was crippled
to-day because of water. A stream was
run through the building, above the
store room, and water leaked into the
■first floor. When this occurred the
many valuables were carried out. Wa

ment of this building was submerged,
but how badly it was damaged cannot
be tolil until the water is pumped out,
according to a statement made this
morning by Lesley iMcl'reath. During

his loss from water and smoke at S6OO,
The only other building in the block,
at River and Market streets, occupied
by Robberts & Meek, wholesale sta
tioners, suffered but little, thiff due to
water in the cellar.
Firemen Handicapped for Room
The Kaufman store occupied two en
tire buildings on the plots, 4 and 6
South Market Square, and the top floors
of the building at 8 South Market
Square, in the ffFS* floor of which is
the S. S. Pomeroy store. The
,-ibove the Pomeroy store is leased from
Pomeroy. while the other buildings are
the property of Mr. Kaufman. At the
rear facing River street, the Kaufman
| buildings eover all three lots. The
firemen in River street wer« handi-
I capped by the narrow space in whieh
i they had to work.
A small alleyway and a douUe wall
separates the Pomeroy builil&ng from
that owned and occupied, at 10 South
Market Square, by Ellis Rolyrts. A
| store room at the front is occupied by
,George W. Park-i, sewing machine deal-
I er. The principal damage to this prop
erty was frcm smoke, but little water
I getting into the basement. N'o damage
1 was done to the adjoining building, to
j the south, which is occupied by the
Harris-burg Railways Company for its
I offices and waiting rooms.
Ifcivid Kaufman, proprietor of the
| Kaufman Underselling stores, this
j morning opened teni|>oraj-y offices iu the
store room of Joseph Claster, 6 1-2
North Market Square. He will seek
[ a temporary location at once and begin
planning a new store. Kaufman said:
Kaufman Will Rebuild
j "I ask the indulgence of the public
i until my plans con be made. You can
| say for me that I will rebuild and big
ger and better than before. I wish to
thank the many persons who have of
: fered their services to me this morning
and I also want to thank the firemen
for their splendid work.
"Insurance men have the lists on
both building and contents but it will
; not cover the loss. 1 have not made
an investigation as yet, but the store
looks to me from the outside like a to
! tal loss."'
Fire Chief Kindlor at noon to-day
s aiti that he believed the total loss on
the fire would i>e more than 155.000.
The walls of the two buildings 'owned
by Kaufman are standing but the-floors
and roof have fallen into the basement.
That part of the store, which was over
the storeroom ofvS. SJ. Pomeroy, alone
is standing but the contents are water
soaked. That was the ladies' suit de
partment. •
Pomeroy Stock Ruined
The Pomeroy store is water-soaked
from top to bottom.-Pomeroy could not
estimate his lo«s to-day as it was im
j possible to make any sort of inventory,
but it iwill he almost a total loss as
1 firemen who were engage I iu lighting
the blaze say that about the only thing
| saved is the canned goods.
Fir? Chief Kindler at 12.30 o'clock
this afternoon, ordered the Susquehan l
na and Citizens engines back to quar
j tors. Both were on the north side of
Market street, the former at Front and
Market, in front of the Harrisburg
j Club, and the Citizens engine in front
lof the Senate. This made possible the
1 removal of the last hose lines from
; across Market street and left the way
j open for the inaugural parade. The fire
apparatus that remained after 12.30
o'clock was out of the tine of march.
|THOUSANDS OF PHONE
CALLS TO LEAKN OF FIRE
The following was issued to-day by
S. B. Watts, local manager of the Bell
Telephone Company:
"I have heard from some-of our
sulbscribers that they were delayed in
their calls to the exchange last night
when they sought to ascertain the lo
i cation of the fire. Unfortunately, one
j of those subscribers who was delayed
was David Kaufman, owner of the
j building that burned.
".If we could only convince our sub-
I scribers that it is physically impossible
| for us promptly to answer aM the fire
j calls that are received after a general
i alarm is sent in, the people who have!
real need for telephone service at that
| time would get the service that they
I should have. I>ast night, for instance,
j when the alarm sounded our regular
night force of six operators win on duty
i Under ordinary circumstances we do
j not need six operators ail night, but in
order partly to provide for emergencies
we have that number of operators on
duty. Properly to take care of the thou
sands of calls that came in last night,
after the general alarm was sounded,
and to give all the service that they
are accustomed to receive during the
day would have required a force of six
ty or seventy-five operators. Of course,
any one after a moment's thought will
understand that it would be impossible
for us to maintain, after night, a
force sufficiently large t6 meet such
emergencies as arose last night and
which might arise once or twice a year.
"What we regret more than any
thing else is that people who do have £
legitimate need for telephone service
at such times are delayed. It sometimes
eomes to our notice that people are call
ing for their physicians at such times,
and, of coarse, it is impossible for the
operators to distinguish between such
calls and what we term 'curiosity
calls.' The result is a delav in getting
•the call through to the doctor.
"If the subscribers will only use the
telephone on such occasions when they
have a real need for them we would
be able promptly to handle their calls
and everybody would be happy."

BRUMBAUGH BECOMES
GOVERNOR TO-DAY
Caadnuril From First Pace
inaugural ceremony at the Capitol
cloned the crowds of thousands swarm
ed down into the business section just
like bees. There was a mad dash for a
good pla.'e from which to see the parade
it was but a matter of a few min
utes until the river front was literally
flooded with humanity.
The best of order was maintained by
the police prior to and during the pa
rade. The streets were roped off at an
early hour. The fire at the Kaufman
store, on Market Square, was an added
attraction, and the southwestern sec
tion o>f the Square at all times was
crowded. Traffic was handicapped
slightly due principally to the throbbing
hose lines, and not to the crowd.
Before the parade started the cars
of the Valley Traction Company ran to
Second and Walnut street but while
the parade format'on was in progress
the intersection of Front and Walnut
streets was made the terminal point.
Visiting bands here for the parade
were on the streets from early morning
until the time of the parade formation.
Many spent the time serenading of
ficials, including the new Governor at
the, Mansion; Judges Kunkel and Mc-
Carrell and Mayor Royal. The Citizens
band, of Elizahethvilie, marshaled bv
•lames E. Leintz, invaded the Court
House during the morning and gave
