\ Fire in Packing Department ofStandard Subsidiary in William*- •

burg Causes $800,000 I^oss.'f

Five firemen, were injured, two so seriously

that their recovery is not expected, In a spec-

! tacular and perilous fire which dastroyed the>; packing sheds of the Pratt Oil Works— sub-| sidiary of the Standard Oil—at North _2__

! street and the East River, Willtamsburr. early1 this morning.

The men were injured by the falling ofone of'the high walls of tb. blazing: building*, which

, buried two of them in the debris.'

The fir«j caused the gravest fear for the entire- neighbor-

| hood owing to the highly inflammable materialsnot only in th> building but in several adjoin-ing- structures. In the packing shed itself,

thousands of five gallon tanks of naphtha, gaso--'lene and refined petroleum had been stored andthe explosions of these tanks as the flames"reached them threw the residents of the neigh-borhood into a condition of apprehension verg-ing on panic. The injurad are:GRAHAM. Michael, battalion chief, back broken «_*

fracture of both legs; not expected to Ut_.

HII.r>EBI*ANT>. Charles, fireman. Hook and LadderCompany r»V contusions of body and poraibl* fract-ure of left ankle.

MOORE. Frank, fireman. Hook and I_idder Company6S, cuts and contusions of body and wrenched back.

MALONT. Michael. JSreman. Hook and -adder Com-• pany 58. fractured spine; will not recover.

\u25a0WALSH. George, fractured rib*.

All the Injured firemen were taken to theEastern District Hospital in an ambulance andin Deputy Chief -ally's automobile. Chief Gra-

ham and th«» members of Hook and Ladder Com-pany 58 were at work beneath the thirty footwall of the building, on the North 13th streetfide.

Because of the rain, the dense smoke remainedelope to the ground, and the firemen were pre-

vented from seeing- the tottering wall until It

crashed upon them, Chief Graham gave- a warn-

ing cry to his men, and the firemen who wereon the flame lighted side of the building cried totheir comrades when they saw the mass of brickand masonry waver and give way.

As soon as the full extent of the blaze waarealized, the tanks of the Standard Oil Com-pany for a radius of a quarter of a mile, in

which were stored thousands of gallons of oil

of all grades, were drained by means of sub-

terranean pipes leading to the company's tanksin Blissville and Long Island City.

The tanks of the Brooklyn Union Gas Com-

!pany, also Indangerous proximity to the blaze,

were also emptied of their; contents. .%

Hildebrand and several other members of htf;comp_hy were almost outside of the .range—

\u25a0 of the tumbling wall, but he was struck by aheavy section of the wall as be ran. Chief

\u25a0 Graham and the injured firemen were buriedbeneath the mass of debris and it was -withdifficulty and great personal risk that theircomrades dug them out and bore them to thawaiting- ambulances.

The night foreman of Stable D. of th? Street!Cleaning Department, which is nearby, corralled

all of the 173 horses of the department in thebig stable yard when th« flames ware blowntoward the stable and he waited on guard at

the street gate, ready to start the whole her-

on a stampede to safety. The firemen, how-ever, prevented the spread of the flames and

the animals were replaced in their stalls insafety.

Deputy Chief Lallyarrived with the engines onthe third alarm, and the fireboats Seth Low andDavid A. Boody. assisted by a number of tha

Standard Oil Company's tugboats, with fire ap-

paratus, fought the fire frocr. the waterfront.

Crates of naphtha exploded in the building"from

time to time.The flames lighted up the river and attracted

hundreds from Manhattan and all sections ofBrooklyn. The section^ of the waterfront men-aced by the fire Is known a.a the Brooklyn "dan-ger zor.c."

Th.» firemen estimated the total loss at abo_«

$300,000.

tTashingrton. Feb. 14.—

Some surprising andInterest;:. facts in -onnectlon with the re-

C7«rar.i£ation of the Navy Department, the pur-

icffs and aims of the ex?cutive commission

now considering the subject and the detail of,31 the marines to shore duty, willbe brought to

J!fbt in the debate on the naval appropriation

Un, trhlch begins in the Sansjle to-morrow. Cer-

tain Senators have been Investigating this sub-ject nit), a view to preparing themselves for

t ie debate, and have ascertained facts which

they believe they can use -with telling effect.

The* the policy of confining the marines to

there duty did not originate with the President;

that it was first recommended by Admiral Con-

vert* as long ago as 1900. his recommendationfceinp the outcome of a controversy which fortwenty yea:s had preceded it; that it Is sup-ported not only by Admiral Evans and all ths

fleet commanders,- and that the step was taken

pursuant to the recommendation of Admiralpjjjsbury. made to Secretary Metcalf and by

tin" referred to the President for his approval,

ar* facts which willoccasion surprise to many

Senators who have supposed that the idea orig-

inated with the President and that naval offi-

cers have acquiesce in, rather than promoted,

the policy.

Senator? will also learn that . the executivecooimi.-s; >n. recently appointed, has practically

coraplcted lt« j>lans along lines which will prob-

£y-cornm?nd Themselves .to most of the mem-bers of Congress who are business men andtare enjoyed tensive business experience. Itwill also prove a surprise to all but thosa Sena-

•IMS who have taken the pains to investigate

the subject to find that the President has had

bo purpose in appointing this commission of"forcing his ideas on Congress or on the nextadministration, but that instead hi expects only

that the plan formulated willprove so obviously•beneficial that it will commend Itself to what- ]ever commission Congress may appoint to con-sider this important subject.

LESS OPPOSITION EXPECTED.1; is believed that when Senators understand

.the antecedents of the marine order and thepurposes " the executive commission there willbe far Je6S opposition to both- than has existed,

sad it is regarded by those who have investi-gated these subjects as probable that the clause

\u25a0In the naval bill which would compel the reten-

tion of the marines on shipboard willbe strickenout, but it seems entirely likely that the pro-vision for & commission, to be composed of sixmembers of Congress and six executive, ap-pointees willbe retained. The friends of thenavy say that the recommendation* of the Prea-ideal's £3___>s_Son are so clearly for the bet-terment of the navy that they believe it Is re-posing none too much -'faith-In such a commis-sion to trust to its being soon convinced of theexpediency and the necessity of such a reorgan-

czapleted its work, it willhold its next formalaeetiag next Friday, whea ithopes to finish itslabors and present its findings to the President

which Icannot discuss. Imet Miss Illington

TARIFF COMMISSION CONVENTION.

Will Meet To-morrow to Discuss Figures

and Facts Bearing on Revision.Indianapolis. Feb. It—Preparations for the three-

day session of the National Tariff Commission con-vention, which will c n\f ii. Tuesday morning, havebeen completed and the first of the twelve hundreddelegates expected arrived to-day The gathering

will be the first 'neld for the specific purpose of

promoting a statistical and scientific basis for tariff

revision.The numerous speakers, who will include United

States Senators and Congressmen, labor experts

and representatives of manufacturing Interests, will

be confined to twenty-minute addresses, and !.^sue-<

not bearing directly upon the purpose of U»e con-vention will be prohibited.

Daniel Frohman confirmed yesterday after-noon the long current report that he and hiswife, Margaret. Illington,would separate. Thefact that he and Mrs. Frohman had amicably

arranged their affairs was not unknown to Inti-mate friends on both sides. Mr. Frohman has

issued a statement in which he says There hasbeen "no scandal." that "no man or woman"

was the cause of the separation. • A dispatchfrom Siftn Francisco states it Is understood there

that Miss Illlngton will eventually seek a di-vorce.

Mr. Frohman says that Miss Illington hasbeen in poor health for a long time. and that

she expects to find in California absolute rest

and better health. Mr. Frohman's occupationkeeps him in the East the year around. Thestatement reads:

Mrs. Frohman and Iagreed to this step re-cently. She desires to take up her residencepermanently in California, where the climatengrees with her. and where she has always beenwell, oven when acting. Bhe has retired per-manentjy from the profession, and will removewith her parents to the Pacific Coast, wheretheir relatives reside, and will live with them.There Is no scandal involved In this disagree-ment- no man or woman is the cause of it. Intact, the arrangement is far more amicable thanhostile on either part.

The decision was arrived at recently. Mrs.Frohman. though in good physical health. Is atpresent resting at a health resort in California.where, after a few weeks' quiet, she will be en-tirely restored. She came to New York fromCalifornia a few weeks ago. apparently entirely

recovered from her breakdown in "The Thief,'

but the Eastern climate did not agree with her.She finds solace and health In the air of thePacific Slope, and there she has decided to livefor the future. We have been married nearly

six years.

In the course of the long run of "The Thief"at the Lyceum Theatre last season Miss Illing-

ton fainted several times. At one period she

was out of the cast for more than a week.

. When the season waa closed she and Mr. Froh-man went to California. At that time Mr.Frohman said that his wife was in need of along rest, and that he hoped the cltmate ofCalifornia would restore her. The Frohrnansreturned in due time, and Miss Illington be-gan her season at the Empire Theatre, againappearing In "The Thief."It was in Boston In October that Miss Illing-

ton was again seized with fainting spelM. Shequit the cast, and a few days later it was an-nounced that she had retired permanently fromthe stage. Mr. Frohman confirmed the an-nouncement. She went to her parents' home inBrooklyn.

It was at that time the agreement was made.Miss Illlngtonwent to California, but returnedto this city. She was in town several days, in

th* course of which she transferred a piece of.property, held in her name, to Mr. Frohman.

When seen last night Mr.Frohman said:"There is nothing more to be said. IbelieveIhave covered everything, and the facts areas Ihave dictated." . .

Mrs. Frohman, known on the stage as MargaretIslington, was before her marriage Miss MaudeLight. She made her professional debut in

a small part in "The Priile of Jennleo" withJames K. Hackett's company. in 1902 shebecame a member of Daniel Frohman's stockcompany at the Lyceum Theatre. She was

married to Mr Frohman in November. 1908.Some of the plays in which she baa appearedare "The Japanese Nightingale." "The Two Or-phnns." "Mrs. Leffingwell's Boots," "The Lionand the Mouse," "His House in Order" and"The Thief."

in the games at Celtic Park in September, and

"Eddie" Hart, the veteran halfback of manygridiron battles, were the men who made thelong tramp.

To add spice to their adventure the Nassauathletes were actually stopped by the police ofRahway, who suspected that they were con-nected with the numerous robl;eries in tMattown recently, but through letters, < ardcas.-sand name tags in their clothing they provedtheir identity and were permuted to go.

The walk was undertaken after several class-mates of the trio had wagered dinners on St.

Patrick's Day that the trip could not be made.

McCrohan. an ex-soldier in the t'nlted StatesEngineer Corps and a veteran of many "hikes"

in the Philippines, was tht first to accept thechallenge. Hart and Bredenus agreed with htminstantly, and the start was made .at 4.-4o'clock on Friday afternoon. Almost the entire

Niagara Falls. N\ V. Feb. 14—Only a tinyrivu'.et. not deep nor swift enough to carry apulp log over the brink, is flowing over theAmerican side of Niagara Falls. A strong north-east wind which has been blowing since Fridayhas held hack the water and allowed the ice togain a foothold. Two employes of the Americanreservation walked from Prospect Point nearlyto Bath Island this morning. They desistedfrom completing the trip merely because theydid not care to get their feet wet. a stream atone point being a few ta<bee, above the tops of\u25a0their boots.

A preat wall of ice runs from the head of GoatIsland to the American mainland, through whichonly tiny streams are able to trickle. This wallnas even encroached on the Canadian channel,extending out some two hundred feet beyond thethird Sister Island and greatly diminishing theflow over the Horseshoe. Only the very apex ofthe Canadian fall is left, and that is ribbed ofhalf its fiow. The gorge below is choked and therapids have lost their fury, while the Whirlpoolis barely in motion.

William H. May. naval lord.Itis understood that this means the practical

retirement of .Admiral Sir Charles Beresfordfrom the service, and that he will be placed on-half pay. In the ordinary tours*. Lord Charleswould have held the Channel command for an-other year, and would have retired under theage limit in 1911. but the government desiredto group all th. newest and best ships underVice Admiral May's command for home defence.

The action of the government, however. Inthus prematurely retiring Admiral Beresford islikely to arouse again th.-> acrimonious discus-sions associated with his name.

Ime. Emma Earner's chauffeur, Fred Willing,J fence a blacksmith, laughed at the efforts of threei policemen to d!slodge him from his seat in the

\u25a0 prlma donna's automobile on Saturday night infront of Frederick W. Whltridge's home, at No.

• handcuffs on him.; Then Wilting, who pronounces his name "Vik-

j Ing." gave a sudden twist to his wrist and the;handcuffs were' broken in three pieces, two ofj the links having bees snapped by the muscles ofj the giant Swede.' ;V"

'"Come out of that machine!" cried Shields"Ifyou don't we'll have to use force."

I'llbe hanged ifIwill,and 111 be -pleased forIyou to do "your worst," replied W'iking. «

Sergeant Rufus Deal. who. with PatrolmanTheophllus MeMa_»on, of the. Mercer street sta-'don, was standing alongside of Shields, stepped

| into the automobile and placed another pair oa

• handcuffs on Wiking's right wrist. There was;another •dexterous twist of the Swede's right

wrist, and the handcuffs were bent at. the bars, where they were locked together. Sergeant Deal•let go of the handcuffs and drew back. The use-less handcuffs fell to the ground.: Patroiman McMahVin was about to pu-t his!handcuffs on the Swede, when Deal stopped him.

!."He'll break those, too," said Deal. "We'llcall the reserves.": Pending the arrival of \u25a0 the patrol wagon with'reinforcements Wiking lighted his pipe anilaughed at the policemen, saying uncomplimen-

tary things about them.Citizen? to th.c number of a*couple of hundred

crowded around. When the patrol wagon ar-rived with four policemen to aid Shields, Dealand McMahon. Wiking laughed louder than ever.

"Now, for the last time, will you go to the jpolice station quietly or will we carry you?"

said Shields."Give me an explanation of what you mean."

said Wiking.

The policemen charged upon him. Twograbbed his feet, two took" hold of his hands. one

held his head, while two ethers put fresh hand-

cuffs on him. Then they bundled him uncere-moniously into the patrol wagon.

When they had sat upon him and had him at

their mercy the policemen asked Wiking If lie

would be good and drive his automobile to thepolice station.

No. Iwon't," he replied.• <fco one or the policemen borrowed a rope and.tying one end to the automobile of Mme. Eame*
