Smoke, however, penetrated to every

The alarm was giyen by Polieenan
Chapman, who. alter summoning^ the
firemen, began to blase away on Fifth
Street with his revolver in order to
waken the sleeping occupants of the
building. . r
The second floor was occupied by L
Gilbert in addition to the Duncans and
their guest. Gilbert was aroused by
smoke entering his room, and by tile
report of pit shots alpost beneath
his window.
On the-top floor were W. A be,
wife snd family; W. J. Foster. J. A.
Smith. A. Alexander, a U McKoy and
W. C. Carter.fr Only Mr. Ahoy of the
third floor occupants left their rooms.
He was reading at the time the fire
'broke out and came downstairs to
arouse the roomers -
Intense ekcitement. prevailed in the
big crowd that speedily collected on
the Fifth street side-of the building. As
the occupants of the third floor ap-
peared successively at their windows,
warnings to jump were sent up from'
below. While ihe crowd was excited,
the roomers did not seem.a bit afraid.
They shouted back jokes and banter
to those in the street. -mme
All the while ths firemen were strug-
gling with the smoke on the stairs,
and with long ladders on the outside
trying to reach those above.
One of the coolest-headedroomers on
the third floor. in a very unconcered
manner, lighted a cigar and took, his
seat on the window ledge. Below he
could see the flames leaping and strug-
gling to escape from the little room
in which the firemen were confining
them.
Ladders-were run up te- the windows
but no one was taken out because all
danger was so quckly eliminated Con-
ductor Carter of the Cotton Belt occu-
pied a room on the third floor, directly
over the little apartment in which the
flames originated. He made no effort
to leave the building.
The thickness of the smoke on the
stairway is evidenced by ths fact that
not less than a half dozen firemen were
forced to retire to the street after
starting for the second floor with lines
of hose. This volume of smoke natu-
rally sought the open stairway to es-
cape to the street.
Drs. Duncan A Duncan carried $2,500
insurance.' The room in which the fire
started is a cmplete,loss. It is burned
black and all of fta'contents were de-
stroyed.
Dr. Duncan stated last night that he
and his wife have not had a fire in
this room for some time. While he
had been sitting in It for some little
time last night reading, be had not
been smoking.
Mr. Abey, who occupied the third
floor and whose father-in-law owns
the building, also stated that he carried
insurance that is sufficient in amount
to cover all losses.
There were no chemicals in the Dun-
chn rest room. In one corner there was
a small pile of trash. Th* fire may

Next Wiliam Laurel Harris told of
the work accomplished by the Munici

future. "We desire." he said, "that

Teachers' day was presided over by
Willia T. Evans, the vice president
of the Municipal Art society. "The in-
flueuce of the public school teacher
passes comprehension," said John J.
O'Brien. “New York should epare i u
money in its public school buildis ,
They should be embellished within and
without. The money thus spent will be
repaid a hundred fold in the develop-
ment of the character of its citizens."
‘•When a nation is too busy to zulti-
vate its soul, then it is a vulgar peo
pie," was Dr. James P. Haney’B pro-
nouncement. "We have not yet a great
beauty loving class, but it is coming.
Wisely has the Municipal Art society
invited the school department to show
some of its most interesting and nr
tistic work in connection with the en-
ley was coaxed to the polls, but' the
opposition cast but about 60 per cent
of its strength. The light vote cast
everywhere speaks for itself. The city
of Dallas registered but about 60 per
cent of its eligible vote, and with a
_ full-vote would have given a majority
of at least 3,000 against Baileyism.
"When it is recalled that less than
two years, ago Bailey was a popular
hero, strohg in the confidence of thu
people, the result Saturday appears al-
most phenomenal, and is a striking ex-
ample of the masses of the people to
voice their sentiments and register
their convictions of right. It cannot be
degbted that when the facts which
brought about this sudden revulsion
of feeling are full)- understood by all
the people, but few will be found in
Texas to give indorsement to the con-
duct which is admitted by Bailey. It
may reasonably be expected that the
next legislature will heed the warning
that has been given and write into the
statutes of this state a severe prohibi-
tion for every form of traffic in offi-
cial influence. -
”The organisation which was cre-
ated to give coherence to this move-
ment has just begun its work. its
mission is to promote the cause of good
government and official purity in every
department of the state. Thia cause
is going forward by leaps and bounds,
and the time is near at hand when no
man who aspires to gain the support of
the people will dare to oppose it.
"Oar friends throughout the state
are admonished to preserve and
strengthen their organizations and to
• prepare to meet every issue that may
arise in the future with the same pa-
triotic seal they have exhibited in the
contest that has just closed.
"Whenever it shall become necessary
to battle for the principle that a pub-
lic office is a public truSa, we shall
wage it without regard to the person-
ality of the foe. Democracy has ever
stood for this principle, and it will
continue so to do, and no public offi-
cial will ever be strong enough to
wean it away from the ancient faith.

Writ af Haben. 1. raw. la Ma Henra
Monday.
Poughkeepsie. N T.. May 3—Public
interest in the case of Harry K. Thaw,
slayer of Stanford White, will be re-
vived tomorrow when Thaw, by habeas
corpus - proceedings, will endeavor to
effect his liberation from Matteawan
hospital.
The writ is returnable before Justice
Morschauser in the supreme court in
this city. The writ was issued by Judge
Morschauser at White Plains, April 33.
on the application of James G. Graham,
an attorney of Newburg and formerly
secretary to ex-Governor B. B. Odell.
Mr. Graham did not figure in the Thaw
case prior to the young man’s commit-
ment to Matteawan.
District Attorney Jerome will oppose
the proceedings and try to prevent the
discharge of Thaw, who he believes to
be insane. The first step in the court
proceedings will be a motion by Mr.
Jerome to have the trial transferred to
New York county. Thaw will be
brought to Poughkeepsie tomorrow
morning by Dr. Baker, acting superin-
tendent of the institution, and two at-
tendants.
Dr. Baker will testify that Mr. Thaw
is not mentally fit to be given hi. lib-
erty. Other insanity experts wrfo have
examined Thaw will be put on the
stand by District Attorney Jerome.

Boulevard in Boston Couses Residenta

Back Bay residents othe north side
of Beacon street, between Charles
'street and Massachusetts avenue, are
Considering the serious problem of hav-
ing two front doors, or at least of hav-
ing a front door where the rear door is
now, in order that they may be facing
the Charles river basin when it is com-
pleted. *
In two years the Chares river em-
bankment, which is right at their back
doors, will be finished, and it will be
absolutely necessary to do away with
the dilapidated fences, stables, garages
and yards in the rear of th mansions,
■nd make- other tmprovements, tf the
houses are to be in keeping with the
beauty of the new park.
To do this means that small fortunes
will have been spent by the residents
of the 200 houses on Beacon street
along the’embankment.
The Charles embankment is to be
a-part of the Charles river basin which,
when Completed, is expected to be one
of the world’s finest boulevards. The
embankment or parkway wil lbe con-
tinued from the Charles bank along
that part of the Charles on which the
rear of the Beacon street mansions
abut. All this section will be tilled in
to a width of about 100 feet, and will
connect with the Back Bay ten* near
Massachusetts avenue.
This magnificent boulevard will be
planted with shade trees and shrubs. At
frequent Intervals boat landings will
be located for the benefit of those who
wish to patronise the electric launches
which will be an Important factor in
aquatic transportation, or . indulge in'
eanoeing.
When all this comes to pass, the back
part of the Beacon street house, which
now looks upon ill kept roadways and
offensive mud flats, will be the most
attractive side.
From an architectural standpoint the
problem of remodeling the Beacon
street manslons to meet the new condi-
tions will be a most difficult one to
solve. The residents along the em-
bankment are the owners of Back
steset, and they are not subject to any
regulation in building by the Charles
River basin commission. They may
build as they like. The residents need
not improve their property at all un-
less they desire to do s..
Judging by the report of the Charles
river basin commission for 1907, it ap-
pears that the commission felt that
they would not do so, and stated that
"the commission hopes that it may be
possible to so arrange the planting
next to Back street ae to conceal as
far as possible from the view of the
people on the embankment and on the
basin the unsightliness of that street
and the stables in tie rear on the north
side of Beacon street"
But some of the residents, at least,
have realised the necessity of improv-
ing the rear of their houses so that
they will be most pleasing to the eye
when viewed from the parkway. About
twenty proparty owners have remodeled
thir houses in the rear so that they
are fully as beautiful in appearance as
the front. Thro® owners along the
embankment have built addition* wiich
