Hose Co. No. 1 Put Out the Con- flagration, the Attendant and the Bistered Simian. Of course it 1s out of the question for the Bronx Park six foot chimpanzee Boko to wear a life saver's medal. He has nothing to pin tt to. But he ts en- titled to wear such a medal, Curator WDitmars says. Soko saved the life of Keeper Miles, Curator Ditmars says. And he saved it lim a fire, too, Curator Ditmars says. Asa firo hero Soko 1s so good that Fire Commtasioner Sturgis will probably try ¢ to have him removed from the Zoo, ‘The fire was in Soko's cage. Soko \ aldn’t start It himself. Some dastardly | @lecreant with a heart like the outside of a pineapple and a brain dike a frozen Potato, threw a lighted match into the @traw and hay that Soko sleeps on, Carstor Ditmars says. Monkey Yells for Help. Naturally, the straw and hay afore- ald blzed up. And, naturlly, Soko was frightened. He climbed up the bara of his cage and called out ina loud tone ef voice “K-chee!" ‘K-chee.” In the @himpanzes language this means ‘'Fire!’’ “Fire!” Curator Ditmars says. Keeper Miles, who understands chim- Panzeenese, constituted himself Bronx Hook and Ladder No. 1 and made a record-breaking run for Soko's cage, Curator Ditmars says, On the way he picked up a broom. Thus does history Fepeat Itself. King Canute tried to put | out the sea witha broom. Keeper Miles ‘tried to put out the fire with a broom. And, like King Canute, Keeper Miles failed, Rushing into the cage he smote the flames with the broom. Instead of aubsiding they attachek his trousers, climbed up the left leg and began to caress his jacket. Soko, high up on the bars of his cage, gaw the danger of Keeper Miles. Lift- ing his voice again he erled out ‘‘ch-kee- ch-kee.” In the chimpanzee language this means ‘Help, help,” Curator Dit- mars says. No help came. Keeper’ Pierce, who had hoard the first alarm, had constl- tuted himself Bronx Park Hose, No. 1. He was on the way to the firehose at the other stde of the bullding. The 500 spectators were on thelr way to the dgors. ase i Soko saw that something had to be done. Keeper Miles was burning up. Soko determined to save him, Curator Ditmars says. The flames had spread until one-half the floor of tho cage and one-half the area of Keeper Miles'’s pants were ablaze, Curator Ditmars aa; Leaped to the Rescue, With a terrine spring, Soko leaped to the rescue, Curator “Ditmars siya Jnmindful of’ the flames, he grabbed Keeper Miles in his long hairy arms, threw him to the part of the floor that as not on fire and rolled him. He rolled him and rolled him and rolled film until the fire was rolled out of his cothes, Curator Oitmars says, In ‘the meantime Bronx Park Hose No. 1, in the person of Keeper Pierce, had raining a strong stream on, the blazing floor of the cage he put the fire out. “Then he turned the stream on Keeper Miles, caught him on the point of the Jaw’ with it and put him Soko's hands and feet were terribly blistered, Curator Ditmars says.

Brother Denies Sulcide, In various statements three Willlams- rd Pye Rem- say. body at Newport port, port physiclans an ington, brother of the dead man, have declared that the deat wounds of Robert Remington were such as to preclude the possibility of his having Inflicted them himself. Hints that ar- rests are to follow that will upset the fashionable world are afloat, Chief Richards !s spending a few days at the Everett House, in this city. When seen by an Evening World re- porter, he sald: “Of all the fool things to say, ts that Robert Remington was not a jclde, Not only did the two medical exam- Iners of the Police Department find no suspicious circumstances, ,but the motive for suicide was most apparent.” Dr, Henry Eckroyd, the State Medicat Examiner, reported to me that the cuts on Remington's forehead were caused by his falling after he had fired the two shots In his head. They are assuredly not knife cuts. ‘The inference that the Newport Police Department is wilfully hiding a murder because the parties prominent in the affair are high socially and of great wealth 1s disgracefully un- just, as the department's records should show. Letters Indicated Irresponsthility, “From letters which Remington sent his former flancee, Miss May Van Alen, a few days before the tragedy it Is ap- parent that Remington was in a bad way from drugs. “Only a short time before, in Paris, Remington had acted disgracefully at the Van Alen hotel, and had sent a let- n|ter of abject apology to Miss Van Alen begging forgiveness because he was not responsible owing to the use of drugs. He was forgiven that time, but on the return to Newport Remington's actions were so much worse that Miss Van Alen cut him at the Berwynd ball a couple of days before he shot himself. “Remington and Miss Van Alen were ‘aged up to that time, The man's affairs were In a bad way, too, and he needed money. In fact, he was almost broke.

What the Doctor Says.
