Wight firemen were overcome carly to-day in a three-alarm fire, a record breaker for smoke, which left only the shell of the three upper floors of the six-story loft bullding at Nos. 291-325 West Seventeenth Street and 414 a damage of more than $50,000. ‘Three persons were rescued from an adjoining tenement and forty-three hotses taken from the basement of ‘the burning building, which was formerly a police station. .

Gem Pershing, in command at El Paso, has veported that the firing which resulted late yesterday in the death of George A. Diepert, an American car inspector, was the deliberate act of a squad of Mexicans who appeared half a mile east of the International Bridge. American troops, the report added, were covering the whole river front. During the rioting at Juarez, the re- port sald, there had been little firing ‘and none toward the American side, For penstipation —_———— magnificent it ecems to me to be here, | of the woman, tho answering flare of | value set on the device by the Public TAFT CONTINUES HIS TOUR. | Shall I say ‘that {t 1s the reward of feeling in the man, All as yet is gal-| Service Commission came out at Mon- pea twenty years! lantey, coauetty.

He was named with Debussy, Richard Strauss, Moussorgsky and Borodine. I was enabled last night to determine just how inaccurate such an estimate is by Senor Granados’s kinghess in playing for me many exquisite themes from the great work, which will not be heard publicly for a month to come. Far from having the sketchy character of the new music, this opera, written around scenes from the life of Goya, the great Spanish painter of the eighteenth century, has the firmness, the solidity, the form and the splendid truthfulness of Goya himself. it. me, “It is an opera of love and death.” “Goyescas,” the composer said, while his beautiful Spanish wife sat with us listening to the music he played for us as though the heavens had nae cand Phrase, headdresses?"

Mendham of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com- pany has been summoned to testify about tt, ‘The committee held a long exec- utive moting to-day and the public hearing waited on the presence of witnesses who were before before the Grand Jury. Public Service Com- missioner George V. 5. Williams was caled to the executive confetence. He took a number of blue prints and documents along with him, The Simmen patent apparatus was the binge upon which the Brooklyn- Fourth Avenue subway contract swung. Tho record shows that the Federal Signal Company made the lowest bid for this $1,500,000 job and seemed to be on the point of getting it when the caso was suddenly or- dered up for a rehearing. Soon there- after, upon the ground that the Gen- eral Railway Signal Company owned the Simmen patent safety apparatus, the big, fat contract was awarded to them It is possible that the Simmen in- @ marvel, but if it is no- for although the Brook- lyn-Fourth Avenue contract has been under way for a year not one atom of it has been used. The Public Ser- vice Commis ion’s ows eugineer has testified that about,15 per cent. of the work on the contract has been com- pleted, but that the only application of the Simmen apparatus has been to “partially equip ono car.” So it is perfectly clear that the only purpose the Simmen patent has served has been to put an “automatic Federal Signal Company and to swing the rich contract to the General Rall- way Signal Company. Various ex- perts have sworn befort the Thomp- son committee that the Simmen in- vention is about as good as hundreds of others, and that none of them is up to much, ‘Therefore, when Mr, W. 8.

Wood that they simply must have the Simmen equip- ment on the new subway line, begins to tell the wonders of the apparatus he will command @ very eager hear- ing, He may find some scepticism among the investigators, who have heard expert after expert swear the thing has little value, and who have \4 1 | \ i Mystery of Fourth Avenue | ; The Thompson committees eager to |G safety stop” on the prospects of the| w! “Goyesoas” in its opening scene in- troduces two lovera who are in the first laughing phase of a passion which grows gradually serious, tri- umphant and ultimately tragic, describes Goya’s picture “Los Majos, showing @ woman clad in wavering black in a scene of coquetry with her lover, while in the backkground two old women look at them and laugh, “The tirst scene is love in its begin- ning,” Senor Granados said after he had played the opening bars, There 4g the lightness, the daring advance have not embodied them and my twenty years of music lessons mam’ were not in vain,” also noted that in the very contract awarded to the General Company it is provided that they shall tostall a better device if possible, HOW LONG WILL SIMMEN STAY IN TORONTO?
