PATERSOiN NEEDS NO AID
?S,000,000 XOW GIVEX AS LOSS BY
GREAT FIRE.
Xuinber of Injnred la O.T Majority
of Those Burned Out Will
Rebuild.
PATERSON. N. J., Feb. 10. The fierce
conflagration which burned its way
through the business center of Paterson
yesterday has completely spent its force,
and Is quickly dying out In the ashes and
broken brick of Its ruin. The firemen who
hurried from other cities to save the en
dangered city have gone back to their
homes, and several companies of the local
department have been ordered to their
houses for the rest and refreshment they
so sorely need.
A feeling of confidence in the future
prevails In the minds of the citizens of
Paterson tonight. Mayor HInchclIffe has
the situation well in hand, and to an of
fer of assistance which came from Mayor
Low. of New York, an answer was re-

LATEST PICTURE OF MRS. ROOSEVELT AND "TEDDY, JR."
turned containing thanks nnd tho as
surance that Paterson Is managing to care
for those in need.
Conservative opinion Inclined today to
cut $2,000,000 from the aggregate loss of
?10.O,'X,0'j0 agreed upon yesterday, and ?S,
O00.OCO probably will be accepted finally as
the actual cost of the fire. No tabula
tion of Individual losses that can be ac
cepted as reliable has yet been made, and
it will be several days before satisfactory
figures can be prepared. Equally incom
plete If the estimate of insurance. It
was stated here today that the amount of
insurance was between ?4.000,000 and $5,000,
00), but what gave basis to the calcula
tion was not clear. Several of the larg
est losers said they had not yet had an op
portunity to examine their policies, and
that meantime they could not tell what
amount they carried.
Money and securities said to amount to
$3,003,000 were recovered from the two
huge vaults under tho ruins of the First
National Bank this afternoon. Books,
papers, bullion and paper money were
found uninjured., Burled beneath the
ruins of the City Hall were found the
safes which belonged to the Controller
office, and also the papers, legal docu
ments and public records were found un
harmed. The greatest tangle In city affairs will
be in the tax office. So far as can he
ascertained, the records of the depart
ment are destroyed. There Is a set of
books which shows the valuation, etc.,
of each piece of properly in the city, and
the Assessors have their field books, frevn
which all this could be duplicated without
overmuch work. It Is said, however, that
It Ls almost certain the records showing
who paid their taxes, and who had not.
are destroyed, and that there Is not in
existence anything from which the Infor
mation could be obtained.
Worlc of Clearing: I'p Xot Yet Reitnn.
The iork of clearing up the burned dis
trict has not begun, but the firemen were
busy until night with ropes and dynamite
tearing down the shaky walls that endan
gered those who had to be inside the
burned area. So well did this work pro
gress that in the afternoon the public
was admitted to the ruins, and sentries
were posted at every important point,
keeping the crowd moving briskly. Thou-j-ands
passed about the choked-up streets
and viewed the ruins during the two hours
and a half allowed them. At the expira
tion of the time the sentries In tho center
of the section began moving outward and
gathering up the extra men at each step,
and soon had the entire section cleared.
Probably no fire ol equal magnitude and
T.-idesj.read destructivenoss ever produced
an equally small casualty list. Dozens of
firemen and the volunteers who labored
with them were slightly Injured by falling
b;icks and timbers, burned by flying tire
brands or temporarily overcome by smoke,
but only a few of them needed surgical or
medical attention. The small casualty
list is explained by the fact that the peo
ple had ample warning and time to aban
don their homes before the flames came
upon them.
. There was comparatively little suffering
on the part of those rendered homeless by
the fire, and the armory, churches and
public shelters opened their doors to but
few applicants during the night. Prac
tically every home that escaped the aflmes
was thrown open, and nearly every refu
gee found shelter at the home of some
friend.
The declaration of Mayor Hltchcllffe
j that the city can care for its own Is not
concurred in by everybody, ana tncre may
be an appeal later for outside help. Those
who are organizing a plan of relief will
soon be able to reach a decision of the
question of asking aid from other com
munities. Mont of Lo-erH Will Start Afrcnh.
With the embers still aglow In the busi
ness district, commercial Paterson planned
resumption and restoration. All of the
banks burned out yesterday opened for
business in temporary quarters today,
and the officials of the banks expressed
a determination to do their part In the
malntenanco of the financial standing and
credit of the city.
The Hamilton Trust Company announced
that it would, as soon as the ruins of Its
building became cool enough, begin the
erection of a new bank building to cost
520O.O00. All of the banks and trust com
panies announced that their safes and
vaults had proved strong enough to pre
serve -the securities, moneys and records
locked In them at tlje close of business on
Saturday. Many of those whose business
places and homes were destroyed were
ruined financially. and must give
up, but the majority will be
able to start afresh. They are cour
ageous and confident. The underwriters
and adjusters representing the insurance
companies that held thousands of riskc af
fected by the fire are hurrying here and
negotiating for the adjustment of the
losses.
The militiamen Temained on duty today,
and will be kept under arms and on duty
as long as necessary. Much valuable
property Is still exposed, and the authori
ties are determined to prevent looting
and disorder In any form. Saloons that
attempted to open after midnight were
promptly closed, and the sale of liquor
prohibited until after daylight. The holi
day crowds of yesterday had dispersed and
the city was very quiet and orderly to
day. Fifteen hundred public school
children and several hundred more
who attended St Mary's Parochial
School found themselves on enforced va
cation today, but by the end of the week
they all will be back at their desks. The
High School pupils will divide the quarters
of the Normal School, with ha!f-dayses-slons
at the start. A bread and coffee
famine was averted by outside aid. A
Newark Bread Company early this morn
ing started wagons loaded with 3000 loaves
of bread for free distribution in the
stricken city.
Injured Xumber Sixty-three.
In the hospitals are C3 persons injured
in the long fight against the flames. Two
deaths were due to the calamity. One
was that of an old woman who fell down
stairs In her anxiety to view the fire- The
other was a woman who had Just become
a mother, and who died as the result of
being removed from her home.
The sternest feature which Mayor HInch
clIffe and his co-workers find confronting
them Is the necessity of providing
employment and permanent homes for
the destitute. The fact that the great
silk mills escaped the fiames Is most Im
portant. About half the population de
pends upon the silk trade, and if their oc
cupation had been taken away the situa
tion would have been appalling. Another
Important Industry Is that of locomotive
building, and it was equally fortunate
that these works escaped the flames. Tho
great Rogers works and the American
locomotive works give employment to
thousands, and these ore running as usual
today.
Just before daybreak the militia arrested
In one hall 11 men looting a building.
Companies A. C and G. of the Fifth Regi
ment. Company A, of the Passaic, and
Ave Deputy Sheriffs were on guard all
night. They had orders to club any one
who did not obey orders to move on. The
120 members of Paterson's police force
went on duty at S o'clock, relieving the
militiamen.
The anarchists who have made this city
their headquarters mourn the loss of their
favorite meeting place, the office of La
Qucstlne Soclalc. in Market street. The
home of Mk-s Ernestine Cravella, the
young woman who attracted attention
after the murder of King Humbert, by her
Inflammatory speccheo In public meet
ings, was also burned. The homes of
miny others of the Paterson anarchists
were destroyed, though Bariholdi's Hall,
which was the bearding place of Bresci,
the assassin of King Humbert, was un
touched by the fire. The houses near It
en Straight and Market streets were all
burned to the ground.

Besides these, there were buildings
about the City Hall and vicinity as of
fices, the loss of which will foot up
to about $1.000,C). A well-informed
Insurance man said today that It would
be safe to say that the real estate loss In
the fire was Insured at about two-thirds
of its value, or perhaps a little more. It
Is understood that the insurance on pub
lic property will not figure higher than
33 per cent.
Mayor HInchclIffe said tonight: "It will
not be necessary for us to appeal for
financial aid outside of Paterson. Only
three applicants went to the Armory
building last night for assistance, ahd all
these cases have been cared for."
Railroad Mont Pay Fire Losses.
DENVER, Feb. 10. The Court of Ap

Denver & Rio Grande Railway Company
Is responsible for the losses entailed by
the fire which burned the old Antlers Ho

Springs In October, 1S9S. The suit against

MEANS FREEDOM FOR MANY
Decision of Court In Cane of an ex
Volnnteer Xotv In Prison.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10. Established prece
dents of the United States Army were
overthrown, and the freedom of nearly 200
men now confined In Federal penitentia
ries was assured by a decision rendered
by the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals today In the case of Peter C.
Deming, an ex-Captain of Volunteers,
against Robert M. McClaughrey, warden
of the Federal penitentiary at Fort Leav
enworth. Deming was Imprisoned on the
sentence of a court-martial composed of
nine regular officers, convened by Gen
eral W. R. Shafter'on March 29, 1900.
The opinion of the Circuit Court, writ
ten by Judge Walter S. Sanborn, is that
the court-martial which sentenced Deming
acted In violation of article 77 of the ar
ticles of war. which provides that officers
of tho regular Army shall not bo com
petent to sit on courts-martial for the
trial of officers and soldiers of other
forces. Tho essential question, as stated
in Judge Sanborn's opinion, ls whether
tho volunteer Army is the same as tho
regular Army, or whether it ls one of
the "other forces" mentioned in article
77. The opinion establishes the fact that
the volunteer Army is at all times dis
tinct from the regular Army.
Deming will be released from the Fort
Leavenworth penitentiary within CO days,
and all other former members of the vol
unteer Army who are confined in the Fed
eral prisons on sentences infiicteu by
courts-martial of regular officers will also
be liberated as the result of today's de
cision. It is stated E. A. Rosier, United
States District Attorney, estimates the
number of such cases at 200.
Deming was a Captain in the subsistence
department of tho volunteer Army. He
was commissioned under the act of 1S99,
providing for the enlistment of soldiers
for the Philippine War. The clfztrge
against him related to his accounts. The
court-martial dismissed Deming from the
service and sentenced him to three years
In the penitentiary. This sentence was
affirmed by the Secretary of War and ap
proved by the President.
In June, 1S3S. Judge-Advocate-General
Llebcr decided that regular Army officers
might try volunteers under the act of 1S9S,
providing for tho enlistment of soldiers
for the Spanish "War. Under this ruling
many cases were tried and sentence Im
posed. The Deming case was the first In
which an appeal was taken. In his opin
ion Judge Sanborne says that General
Shafter was prohibited by he laws of the
United States from constituting the Dem
ing court-martial of regular Army officers,
and that the action of such a tribunal Is
void.
