An automatic alarm to the Fire De- partment was set off by the heat of the steam. The engineer also rang the inside alarm gongs to notify the 290 employeees, most of whom-were young girls, to get out in a hurry. The girls, shouting and screaming in their excitement, piled down the stairways to the street out of both the 42d and 43d Street entrances of the biulding. When the fires under the boiler had been drawn and the steam shut off and the building had been ventilated the girls went back and got their hats and coats. The Plant was shut dwon for the day for repairs to the engine. Nurses of St. Bartholomew's Clinic and Dispensary, two doors east of the Gerstendorfer factory, saw from the demned the alleged last will of Richard Croker sr., dated Oct. 12, 1919, under which Mrs. Bula Edmondson Croker, widow of the late Tammany chieftain, claims to be his role legates. Mr. Croker claims that his father died intestate and asks that letters of administration be granted to him as the son and one of the next of kin of the deceased, To-day’s proceedings were for the purpose of getting permission from the Probate Court for Charles H. Chaytor, attorney for Richard Croker jr, to make an affidavit verifying the latter's signature on a writ of sum- mons in the intended action. It was pointed out that Mr. Croker was a resident of the United States, and that if the paper had to be sent there for verification It would cause great delay. The court granted the © Board of Estimate to-day pre- day, to describe the proceedings ta the language of a disgusted member, it was a ‘‘snapping, snarling, throe- ringed menagerie."’ Hungry elephants, lions and tigers figured in the verbal Donnybrook and when it came to an end the principals stalked from the room with rancor plainly written on their faces. Comptrolier Craig, who wants the Borovgh Presidents to repay $1,690,- 000 they pledged many months ago when the 1922 budget was being male up, aroused the ire of the members when ho suggested that they produce the money right away. Borough President Riegelmann of Brooklyn moved that in effect the board be given two more weeks within which to settle the dispute over the money, and Acting Mayor Hulbert called for special meeting next the Staten Island-Brooklyn freight one phaso of Serve it often A perfect ending for a festive dinner is Heinz Plum Pudding.
