A policeman from Station 5 took the statement of a man giving the name of Louis Ruggerlo of 1099 Albany at, who stated that a boy about 17 years of age came from under the bridge about Ave minutes before the fire was discovered. He said the boy told him to "get out of the way or the cops would get him." The youth then ran down Dover st, toward Washington st, and disappeared, he declared.

A few minutes later smoke issued from under the bridge. A passer-by sent in an alarm from box 1632 Wnen engine 3 arrived the men saw the difficulty of fighting the fire from the top of the bridge. Some of them tied a rope around the it on railing of the bridge and slid down into the water.

Their comrades lowered lines of hose to them and they fought the fire from the water until the tide began to rise.

They then took positions on the abutments of the bridge and remained there until the flreboat, Engine 44, arrived. The crew of the boat combatted the blaze with the water guns, and the land forces lowered the life boats and, with lines of hose went under the bridge. In spite of the intense heat they succeeded in keeping the blaze from spreading to the other sections of the bridge. When Deputy Chief Walter McLean arrived, he instructed his aid to telephone for high pressure company After about a half-hour's fight the blaze was under control. The firemen suffered from intense heat thrown off by the burning pine planks and from the thick black smoke.

Commissioner John R. Murphy, who was in the vicinity, complimented Deputy McLean and the firemen for their good work. The fire started about 2:15 and it was not until 4 o'clock that the blaze was finally extinguished.

By FRANK P. SIBLEY DEDHAM, June 1 Plowing along at the apparently endless task of finding 13 men who are qualified to sit as jurors in a capital case.

Judge Webster Thayer today examined 160 talesmen. The court eat from 10 o'clock until 1, from 2 o'clock until 6, and from 7:30 until 10:10. When the end came the entire panel for the day, together with 16 names left over from yesterday, had been examined and three names had ben added to the three already chosen. Three additional members of the jury are Frank D. Marden of Weymouth, a mason: Walter H.

Ripley of Quincy, a storekeeper, and John F. Dever of Brookline, a clothing salesman. Two of these came together, the 58th and 59th men examined. The third one was not found until the evening session. The Jury is being selected in the special sitting of the Norfolk County Superior Court to try Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, charged with murder of Frederick Parmenter on April 15 of last year.

Over and over again. Judge Webster, in the most caustic manner, commented upon the failure of the city and town authorities In the county to obey the law and weed out their jury lists annually. Each time that a talesman showed that he was so absolutely against capital punishment that he was not qualified to serve as a juror, Judge Thayer asked bim whether he had ever done anything to get the law changed, or to get his name taken from the jur list on the ground that he was not qualified to serve. Men who have been deaf for years, or under doctors' care for long periods, men who were long past the age which exempts citizens from jury duty, flowed tl rough the session In an apologetic, protesting stream. Men appeared who tio not even live in the towns or cities from which they are listed.

Over and over again the Judge let men go, making it a condition that they should notify the town officers to take their names off the jury lists. Activities of Brownie" Kennedy, former proprietor of Mishawum Manor at Woburn and central figure in the $100,000 "shake-down" party mentioned in the Allen charges against Dist Atty Nathan A. Tufts of Middlesex County, were traced yesterday to Boston, where, it was learned, the Kennedy woman suffered lower court convictions on immorality charges in 1916 and, after appealing, escaped trial in the Superior Court. At that time the Kennedy woman appeared under a fictitious name but her identity was well known to the authorities. Records of the Roxbury court show that under the name of Mary Fuller she was found guilty of an immoral act in a Commonwealth-av apartment and of maintaining a ONE REPORT PLACES DEATH LIST AT 175 TULSA.

Ok. June 1 Race riots today resulted in the death of 80 or more persons, including nine whites, and the injury of scores, according to estimates by the police, and in the destruction of 10 blocks of homes in the negro quarter. Despite the placing of the city under martial law today, desultory firing continued during the afternoon, but the city this evening was comparatively quiet. Four companies the National Guard, under Adjt Gen Barrett, are on duty. The reported death list grew all day.

At noon the chief of police notified Gov Roberts at Oklahoma City that the to- The story of how three ntaildrea were being boarded at $4 pr week at the expense of the city of Boston whiie. it is alleged, their father was living luxuriously, is said to be behind the filing yesterday of valun-tary petition in bankruptcy by the father. Herbert D. Cossitt, a telegrapher, giving his address at 81A Linden st, filed the petition, indicating liabilities at $11,096.50, of which "about $10,000" Is charged off to a city bill for the keep of the children. There are no assets listed.

While he had turned over all the papers in the case to the Law Department for action. Institutions Commissioner T. C. O'Brien stated last night that he had originated the action for collection of about $4000 from Cossitt, for care of the children over a period of 11 years. Commissioner O'Brien said he acted after he found that Cossitt was living in an Allston apartment, the ent of which was $115 per month.

June 1 Halifax hailed another crew of the Gloucester men Esperanto today, survivors of shipwreck on Sable Island, Tt was the fishermen here who greeted victors Esperanto and her crew when they won the international fishing vessel championship last Fall. Tanded by the schooner Elsie, also out of Gloucester, Capt Tom Benham and his men were welcomed warmly.

All were well, although they had lost their effects when their vessel went down, and with Halifax hospitality offered freely, Capt Geel and the rescue ship Elsie prepared to leave again for the fishing grounds, satisfied that the Esperanto's crew would receive all possible care. Capt Benham said he set out early Monday morning from off the northwest light of Sable Island to a position off the Northwest Bar in seach of fish. The weather was thick. Finding the fishing poor there, he made for the Southwest Bar. Struck Submerged Wreck It was on this course in nine fathoms of water that th 3 Esperanto struck a Contlnned on the Second Page.

Disabled The first of the four circuits that link the fire alarm system with South Boston was damaged and alarms could not be sounded llrom many of the boxes in South Boston. Firemen will patrol the section until the system is put into working order. Several electric light and telephone cables are believed to have been damaged by the fire and water.

The bridge-division of the Public Works Department states that the bridge will be closed for heavy traffic until the inspectors ascertain whether it Is safe. The examination will be made today. It is probable that the iron work under the bridge will have to be replaced, as the firemen say that many of the girders were affected by the extreme heat and are unsafe. The street cars ha-e been diverted over Broadway extension, but foot travel will continue over the damaged bridge. LONDON'.

June 1 The I-ondon Times announces the engagement of the Duke of Marlborough to Gladys Deacon, daughter of the late Edward Parker Deacon of Boston, Mass. Several times In recent years Miss Deacon has been reported engaged. In 1905 it was reported that she would marry Lord Brooke.
