Riley of Somerville, and Miss Mil- dred Melzian, a stenographer, were shot and dangerously wounded last ' night while riding in a taxicab to her " home here. The driver of the cab told the police that he had heard a convergation In which the man appeared to be urging the young Wwoman to marry him, and that a few minutes after shots were fired. Miss Melzian is a daughter of a former member of the Boston Sym- phony orchestra and is 19 yvears of . age. Riley is 34 and employed as a rallroad claim agent. According to the police the only statement they " ‘eguld obtain from Riley was: ¢TI did it because I wanted to die.” Both the man and woman were un- conscious at the hospital at a late hour. She was found to have bul- lets in her right side and wrist, while Riley was shot three times—in the forehead, abdomen and thigh. The chauffeur said that the man engaged him at his stand in front.of R Back Bay hotel to take them to 3 okline. When nearing University P rdid, where the girl lived, the chaut- “feur heard shots, and immediately aft- erward the girl opened the door of the car and ran up the street a fow hundred vards to her home. Riley remained in his seat, wounded, and the chauffeur drove him to police over- headquarters, where his condition was seen to be so serious that he was re- moved at once to the hospital while officers went to the home of Miss Mel- zlan. Riley, the police learned, had been paying attention to Miss Melzian for several months, althougn the affair was not looked upon as serious by her family. Since the death of her fa- ther last summer, Mildred, the youngest of a family of six children, had been employed in Boston. DARTMOUTH LOSES. Penn State Five Overwhelms Hanover Quintet.

[FIRE THREATENS | / ’ | NEW HAVEN HOTEL Guests Forced to Flee from Early Morning Flames New Haven, Jan. 5.—Fire starting in room 54 on the fifth floor of the New Crown hotel in Crown street shortly before 2 o’clock this morning threatened to destroy the entire struc- ture for a short time and placed in peril the lives of about 100 persons who were guests in the hotel which was so completely fllled that a sign had been placed in the office, ‘‘Full house. No more rooms.” The fire started In a front bedroom occupied by two men who were part of a band of about 160 men who came to this city last night for service in case of strike troubles which are feared in Ansonia, and before an alarm of fire could be sent in the room was in a blaze and the flames were leaping half way across Crown street in a way to indicate that the entire structure was probably doomed. The fire was discovered by a man named Spearman who was a guest in room 55 adjacent to 54 In which the fire started. Acocording to empioyes of the hotel Spearman clailmed he saw a man earlier in the night in the room where the fire started smoking a cigarette and had warned him to stop and the man put the cigarette out. Spearman smelled the smoke of the fire and dashed right down to the office where he gave the alarm while some one else tried to put the fire out with an extinguisher. It is thought possible the fire may have besn caused by fire from the clgarette smouldering In bed clothes.

All the guests in the hotel were asleep when the cry of fire was given and it was a tired, scantily clad throng of men which trooped down the front stairs of the five story hotel stricture, or rushed down the rear fire escapes or dropped off the roof of the hotel and from the fifth story windows on to the roof of the Wash- ington building which adjoins it on the west. There were many narrow ‘escapes but no trace of any one heing missing could be found after the fire and the men who ocoupied the room in which the fire started were ac- counted for shortly after the alarm was given, with their clothes mostly in their hands on the sidewalk safe and sound but with much of their belong- ings missing.
