In a fire which completely destroyed a fcur-story flat building at No, 237 West Thirty-eighth street to-day, a former \ Alderman, several actresses and dress- makers and a number of men were res- cued while overcome by smoke or heat, 4 thougands of people gathered and watched the survivors shiver on the streets In their singed night robes, Vioia Allen's maid is in Roosevelt Hos- pital and may die. Mrs, Walter Wil- kins, mother of Odette Tyler, is severely burned about the face and hands. Her husband, Dr Wilkins, is also painfully burned, (Mrs. Wilkins was lighting a gasoline stove in her apartment on the first floor when the tank exploded, scattering the flaming oll over the room, It was In at- tempting to extinguish the flames that Dr. Willing and his wife were burned. Realizing that they were unable to check the ‘fire, they ran through the house, alarming the other residents. When they reached the street Mrs. . Wilkins remembered that she had falled to save her two pet dogs and her jewel case. Dr. Wilkins attempted to return for them, but was driven out by flames. As he was retreating one of the dogs jumped from a balcony and saved itself, and after the fire was out the other animal was found floating on an im- provised raft in the water-filled cellar. Mrs, Wilkins was sent to Roosevelt Hospital, but remained there only a “short time. Close Call for Ex-Alderman, Policemen Lang and Ulmer knew that ex-Alderman Vincent Golding was in a room on the fourth floor, which he has been occupying while his house next door is being renovated. It being impos- sible to get to the top floor through sthe fire, the policemen went to the roof of Golding’e house and then crossed to THROUGH WHICH YALE GAINED MOST GROUND AGAINST HARVARD. STURGIS A wide split In the reform adminis tration promises to follow whatever ac- tion Fire Commissioner Sturgis takes with relation to the charges against Chief Croker. If the Commissioner adheres to his intentions he will dismiss the Chief from the force wthin a few days, and in this event Mayor Low will ask him to resign from the Commisstonership, And !f he does not dismiss or humil- fate Chief Croker he will be compelled to stand the onslaught of the Republi- can politicians who are behind the plot -to make the department a cog fn the local machine. The astonishing exposures in ‘The Evening World yesterday of the real motives underlying the persecution of Chief Croker have arouged the clty and have evidently had the effect of stiften- ing the backbone of the Mayor, whose interest in the matter appears to have been of recent birth. Up to last Thurs- day night there was no outward oppo- sition on the part of the Administra- Uon to the carrying out of the plan of Commissioner Sturgis te force Chiet Croker out of the department. Meeting at Mayor's Home. On that evening a conference was called at the residence of Mayor Low. There were present the Mayor, Commls- sioner Sturgis, Corporation Counsel George L.. Rives and his assistants, Capt, A. F,. Cosby and C. 8, Whitman, who represented the Law Department at the the roof of the burning building, de- scended through a hatchway and res- cued the former Alderman, who was asisep in bed and partially overcome by emoké, It was necessary to drag him to the roof and from there Into his own home Mr. and ‘Mrs, Frank Oakes Rose, on the second floor, were awakened by the firemen, and sought the street in their night robes. Mrs, Rose lost several thousand dollars’ worth of Jewels, To get out It was necessary for them to pass through the flaming hall, and both were burned and thelr garments par- tlally destroyed. Mr, Rose !s manager for Pain's Fireworks Company. On the third Moor Miss Clara Dunn, a music teacher, was awakened by the acreams from the people on the street below, She found the rooms filled with smoke and felt the heat in the hall. With remarkable pluck and fortitude she awakened her mother, Mrs. A. J. Dunn and thelr guest, Mrs, Funda, of Roohester, and led both of them down- ates and through the smoke and flames. All were slightly burned. They lost all of their possessions, Jack Raffell, the baritone, climbed ti is third-story window to the rear yard Bhi a fre-escape after taking sev @ral_ women out of the bullding.

He advised that the Commissioner drop the matter, he did not believe that enough proof had been adduced to war- rant even a reprimand for the Chief. In this he was backed up by Corpora- tion Counsel Rives, who does not read the newspapers, and ts, consequently, ignorant of the unanimous disapproval of Commissioner Sturgis's course on the part of the local press, yee, T0 GO IF GROKER DOES.

The others remained in conter- ence until 2 o'clock in the morning. Although it 1s acknowledged by the Mayor's advisers that the charges against the Chief have not been sus- tained by the evidence there 1s a bitter feeling toward him, expecially in the Citizens’ Union faction of the adminis- tration. Theso gentlemen cannot under- stand how a man bearing the name of Croker can be honest. They stand on this broad proposition and will not be pushed from it, notwithstanding that a thorough search of the Department rec- ords for fifteen years back have falled to bring to Nght a single instance of ishpnesty on the part of the Chief from tho day he first polished the brass work on an engine until he was brought up for trial, Leary in the Fight. In addition to the political aspect of the fight against the Chief there is the opposition to him on the part of Seore- tary Leary, of the Fire Department, who has the backing of the Republican’ ma- ching, It was the bellof of Mr, Leary When he took office that he should be alloyed to have something to say re- ganiing transfers, The first batch he took to the Chief was turne:t down, “I'l make my own transfers,” gaia the Chiof, “I Imow the meq of this De- partment and what they can do." There 1s no doubt in the minds of the Mayor and Corporation Counsel that the Court of Appeals will reinstate Chief Croker should he be dropped. This outcome would be a black eye to the reform administration, from which recovery would be extremely difficult. A perusal of the evidence by the Mayor showed®im that John J. Delaney, coun- sel for Chiet Croker, did not even exert himseif to put in evidence in defense of some of the charges, contenting hi self with protecting the legal interests of his client with a view of action by the courts, Chief Croker and Mr, Delaney believe that Commissioner Sturgis has gone too far to allow himself to back down, They expect the order making a va- cancy at the head of the Fire Depart- ment within a few hours, and their pa- pera for an appeal to the courts aro ——— WEATHER FORECAST.
