HER ACT NEEDED NO WARDROBE WHATEVER. After Jerome’s Men Had Taken It Allin They Raided the Place and Six Accused of Being Promoters Were Arrested. ‘The meaning of O. F. F. as appited to the O. F. F, Club of-Yorkville 1s “Out for Fun,” but several of the mem- bers are out on ball as the result of a chaste smoke: given last night at the Ola Homestead, in Third avenue be- tween Ninetieth and Ninety-first streets. They were present because of an in- timation that had reached Chief Clerk Henneberry, of the District-Attorney’s Office, that some of the doings at the smoker promised to be unfit for publi- cation, Mr. Henneberry lives in the neighborhood and helps to keep the tid down in that district. Tickets to the smoker were sold all over the east side of Yorkville and the gathering that packed the Old Home- stead to the doors was extremely repre- sentative of the best thought and clothes of the district. Among the au- dience were about a dozen county de- tectives. The Cause of the Raid. The show that formed the attraction for the smoker audience was not better nor no worse than the average enter- tainment of the kind until the con- cluding number, This was the piece de resistance, so to speak. It purported to represent In pantomime the efforts of an actress to escape from the Iro- quois Theatre fire. In point of cos- tuming, it was more representative of the wanderings of Eve in.the garden of Eden before she discovered the apple tree. ‘The county detectives in the audi- ence, having paid thelr money for tickets, waited until the female person who gave the performance was all through and had taken a couple of en- cores. Then they rose up as one inen, the show being over, and arrestou the whole outfit, Bottled Up in the Halt, Detectives guarded the doors. There was no escape. The entir- audience ‘was compelled to remain until the.men who ere believed to have arrahged the entertainment were picked out and placed under arrest. They were taken to the East Elghty-elghth street sta- tion, where bail was furnished for all but one. There were six prisoners arraigned in Harlem Court to-day as a.result of the raid. They were Flora Kinnine, the re- fined performer, who described herscit ag a dancer ‘and contortionist und sald she lived at No. 483 Willis avenue; Samuel Wenk, of ‘No. 602 East Eighty- eighth street, a man with two Hquor stores in Yorkville, who acted as an- nouncer and stage manager; Israel Gold- stein, a cigar manufacturer, of No. 322 Wast Seventy-cighth street; Edward ‘Coleman, a machinist, of No. 17 Delan- cey street; Joseph Schwartz, a cigar matufacturer, of No. 1486 Second aye- nue, and Emanuel Fry, a cigar manu- facturer, of No, 2% East Eighty-fifth atreet. Lots of Cops There, County Detective Hammond, who led the raid, and Police Capt. Gorman, in whose precinct the raid took place, were conspicuous in the examination, Capt. Gorman was striving to show that he knew all about it, and Hammond was trying to show that the police knew nothing about it, so far as attempting to do any arresting was concerned. “Why,” said Hammond, “there were twenty policemen in the house In plain clothes, When they found that we had raided the show they put on their shields and every one of them grabbed from one to three spectators and hustled them out of the building. That was the last we saw of cops or spec- tators, As soon as they got to the street they melted away.” “The raid was prematuro,” explained Capt. Gorman, “Lf knew about the thing from an anonymous letter, 1 Went to the Old Homestead with a wardman, but they eet the doxs ou us and we couldn't get in until. after the rald.”’ ‘The woman was held tn $1,000 ball and ‘Wenk in $500 bail for taking part in an | imnidral exhibition, The other four prisohets were discharged. ‘ They showed the utmost excitement and trepidation, which may be partially explained by the fact that al) of them are married men. Charles Krieger, proprietor of the Old Homestead, at Ninety-first street and Third avonue, Was arraigned In the Harlem Police Court this afternoon on the complaint of Capt. Gorman, charged with keeping a disorderly house. His arrest was a result of the rail last night. Krieger was released on $1,000 ball,’ The examination was adjourned until Wednesday next.

West End Avenue Mansions | Milkmen Act as Ferrymen and Carry Many to Safety. A thirty-six-inch water main, carry- ing a heavy pressure, broke before day- light to-day at Broadway and Ninety- second street, flooded the neighborhood, nearly drowned a number of sleeping |numerous exclusive apartment-houses in that vicinity from their beds to the cold streets in meagre attire. ‘The flood also aid th ands of dol- | borhood. ‘The main let go with an explosion like a battle-ship gun, The water spouted up from the fissure in the frozen pave- ment lke a geyser and first found the Ninety-first street station of the sub- way, which it filled. The break occurred in front of No. 2463 Broadway, and immediately the water ran into a vacant lot next door. From there {t rounded into Ninety-sec- ond street, and was of such volume that it flooded the basements of ‘all the street. Some one turned in a fire alarm, and the residents, aroused by the noise of the explosion, soon poured out into the snow-ccvered street. Beds Floating Aro' When J. M. Bourcy, janitor of the Annette Apartments. No. 29) West West Ninety-second street, his wife, her mother and thelr daughter awoke their beds were floating around in the water. Each moment the water rose higher, until it was up to within a foot of the top of the front windows of the basement. The firemen fiom 2 hook and ladder truck dived down through the fey water on « ladder and brought the distressed family to the street, all of them wet, and freezing and none of them wearing more than a night robe. In a room on the first floor of the Annette was Miss Cordelia N, Bachus, who was sick in bed. The water rose until {t covered the floor of her apart- ments and she screamed for help. Paul Saxe and Abram Friedland, Columbia University students, who live upstairs, broke into her room and car- ried her through the water down to the street. There they waded in the rush- ing torrent down to West End avenue, carrying Miss Bachus between them. The flood turned with a swish into Weat End avenue, and in incidentally flooding the homes of various million aires it carried the two rescuers from ther feet and precipitated them and the invalid Into the stream. Acts as Ferryman. seeing thelr predicament, drove his wagon through the flood and helped them all aboard and trans- ferred them in safety to the house at No. 30 West Ninety-third street. Mrs, Waterman, occupying an apart- ment in the Annette, became hysterical ‘at the sight of the deluge and emitted a series of screams from her window. Several men carried her down and to a house out of the flood gone. John Froelich, Alexander Baker and a boy called Eddie, all employees of the same apartment house, escaped in thelr underclothing and were thoroughly joaked before they reached a place of nafety. The water, after filling all the baae- ments between Broadway and West End avenue, turned north into West End avenue, down the hill to Ninety- sixth street and then to the river. But on its way {t stopped long enough to fill the basements of numerous homes and apartments. Several milkmen who had been in the neighborhood on their usual rounds opened a ferry ne and did a profitable business carrying passengers across West End avenue.* The water was 80 deep and of such a swift current that persons attempting to ford it would be taken from their feet, but the. water was so cold that few tried that ex- periment. Mai The basement of the magnificent home of W, Luttgen, No. 680 West End ave nue, was flooded nearly to the ceiling, as were the homes of 8. 8.

Members of the Fire Department were called to aid in stopping the flood, but they were unable to do anything to pre- vent the outpouring water from the big main until an official in authofity could be found in the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity. Charles A. Rich, a well-known archi- tect, who lives at No, 255 West Ninety- first street and who owns more than $100,000 worth of property in the flooded section, sald to-day that the great dam- age to property was due to the fact that the underground railroad was con- structed without a proper pipe gallery to drain off the water. “When the city allows men to build an underground tunnel without a p.ps gal- lery."’ said Mr. Rich, “you may expect such disasters as this to be of common (PHOTOGRAPHED EXPRESSLY FOR THE EVENING WORLD.) ® g $ DDS. 2EGDEDEIVEDHHOHGHHDOHS HOOF occurrence, In every civilized city where ing because of the timely warning subwaya have been constructed they| given them by Fireman Benack.

RAYMOND ST, JAIL S NOW A NUISANCE Brooklyn Board of Health So Declares It, and the Prison Authorities Are Wondering What Will Happen Next. The Rrooklyn Board of Health through Its secretary, E. W. Scheffer, to-day declared the old Raymond Street Jail more than a common nuisance. Placards were tacked up on the jail outer door and in the offices of the Warden and his deputy that the place was a menace to health and a danger to the community, Warden McLaughlin, Deputy Wilson, the keepers and the turnkeys now want to know what that means, Does being declared a nulsance by the authorities give the prisoners lodged there a priori right to go elsewhere and those who are out: to enter the privilge of saying ot for me?” ‘At the time the placards were causing ail this speculation the grand jury re- turned a presentment to Judge Crane condemning the jail, The jurors sug- gested that the District-Attorney act in the matter at once. Justice Crane com- plimenited the Grand Jury and said that Eny old place with such obsolete plumb- ing and rotting Walls as the Raymond Street Jail should be given a life sen- tence somewhere else.
