Thousands of persons their way to the various theaters in the downtown section last night witnessed a fire which broke out in the Rosemont Dance Hall, on the second floor of a three-story brick building at 532 to 540 Fulton near Nevins st. and Flatbush ave. Trolley traffic on Fulton st. and Flatbush ave was tied up for more than 20 minutes while the firemen fought the blaze. Only three couples, an eightpiece orchestra, and the proprietor, John were in place at the time.

The fire broke out from some unknown cause shortly after 7:30 o'clock, a half hour before the hall opened for the evening session. William Dunn, a member of the chestra, discovered the flames in the rear part of the hall. Albert Morrison, 25, a banjo player, who ran back to get his instrument, was caught in the building. He climbed out the window to a ledge and when the firemen arrived a ladder was placed against the structure and Morrison WAS brought down to safety, The lower floor is occupied by the F. W.

Woolworth Company. The store was damaged by water, The damage to the dance hall amounted to more than $10,000. Had the fire occurred an hour later the place would have been crowded with men and women. DEATHS KNOEBEL-On Jan. 26, 1929, MILDRED beloved wife of James Frederick R.

Doorn, Holland, Jan. 28 Former Kaiser Wilhelm arose at 7 o'clock this morning as usual, read the Bible, had breakfast and walked in the garden. Servants said he showed no signs of strain on account of the exhaustive program of yesterday when the Hohenzollerns gathered celebrate his 70th birthday and to hail him as king and emperor. During the evening the guests partook of a repast more elaborate than that at noon. Each guest was given a menu card with a gold border and bearing a golden Hohenzollern crown and a picture of the Kaiser in the uniform of a field marshal.

Under the picture was printed: "Evening Repast on the All-Highest Seventieth Birthday; His Majesty, the Kaiser and The former Kaiser today wrote Queen Wilhelmina a long letter of thanks for ten years of refuge. He dwelt especially on acts of friendship of Count Bentinck, his host, and expressed his wishes for the welfare of the Dutch people. William today resumed the role of a royal exile. Yesterday stood resplendent in a field marshal's uniform of the First Royal Guards and upon his breast were the highest decorations within the gift of imperial Germany and many other nations. Male participants in the celebration, garbed in the gala uniforms of their military ranks and wearing spiked helmets, saluted him as "his majesty, the Kaiser and King." Princess Hermine, whom the Kaiser married in exile, was not present to share her husband's triumph or to be addressed as "empress." The official explanation was that she was ill with what at first seemed to be chicken pox, but probably was only grip.

There was a rumor current, however, that she was only diplomatically ill, since the greater part of the Hohenzollern clan refuse to recognize her as "her imperial maj-' esty." conceding her merely the title of the Kaiser's spouse. Crown Princess Cecilie acted as hostess instead of Princess Hermine. President von Hindenburg, in his capacity as a private citizen and former field marshal under the Kaiser, sent a letter written in his own hand. It was understood that the Dutch Government brought pressure to bear on Doorn Castle to. keep the party strictly private, being anxious lest the celebration lead to political demonstrations to which the Allies might object.

N. Y. WOMAN KEY IN ENGLISH MURDER London, Jan. 28 (AP)-The Daily Express said today that ton police investigating the murder of Vivian Messiter, New York tunnel engineer, were tarning to a New York woman for aid and might summon her from America. The woman's name has not been revealed, but she had previously figured in the investigation as the author of letters found on Messiter's body and was described as a middle-aged woman who was a lecturer at an American university.

A jeweler at Reading, Berkshire, sent police a thin gold watch bearing, among other marks, "Camerden and Forster, New York." The jeweler said he had reason to believe this belonged to the slain man. Health Officials Favor New $3,225,000 Hospital The proposed $3,225,000 city hospital for Queens has won the support of Dr. Shirley Wynne, health commissioner, and Dr. William Schroeder, recently appointed commissioner of hospitals, according to announcement today by Otto Schuler, chairman of the hospital committee of the Queens Allied Civic Council.

The committee favors a 400-bed hospital, to be built on the site now occupied by the Queensboro Hospital for Contagious Diseases at 164th st.

SENATE DEMOCRATS TO FIGHT HOOVER'S EXTRA SESSION GAG Washington, Jan. 28 (AP) -Herbert Hoover is to bump into a fight with the Democrats on his proposal to limit the intended extra session of the new Congress this spring to the consideration of tariff and farm legislation. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, sounded the war cry today with a declaration against the President-elect's proposal which he terms unconstitutional. "There are many things on which legislation will be needed if the extra session is called," said Senator Robinson, "and certainly there is no constitutional method by the which exercise the Senate can be limited in of its legislative duties." BURWELL ORDERS BUILDINGS SHAKEUP Declaring that "rumors of graft and favoritism" had caused him to take the step, Superintendent of Buildings Edward P. Burwell, in Queens, today shook up his department by re-assigning the 40 inspectors to new districts.

"It is time for a change," Burwell said in a statement. "The shifts are made for good of the service, and if, in the future, builders and architects allow themselves to be held up for graft, it is their own fault. I am determined there shall be no graft in this department while Harvey is Boro President or I am the head of the department." Superintendent of Street, Cleaning Fritz Brieger announced today that he had caused two truck drivers for a contractor on the Northern blvd. section of the subway to be summoned to court tomorrow for spilling sand on the streets.

28, 1921. Wife, CLARA: daughter, VERNOLIAN: son, GUSTAV, and brother, FREDERICK. Stephen Wiszak, 24, of 312 E. 12th Manhattan, was arrested last night on a charge of felonious assault at 101 Allen Manhattan, where he had been pursued by a crowd. Garbed as a woman, wearing an expensive seal coat, Wiszak is alleged to have beaten an unidentified woman with a revolver in the women's rest room of the Rivington st.

station of the 2d ave. elevated rd. Detectives Schneider and Sargeant Brough of the 5th st. station, who captured Wiszak, questioned him in connection with the murder of Mrs. E.

Weigand, whose body was found in the washroom of the City Hall station of the B. M. T. on Aug. 5, 1927.

A woman told John Dougherty, change agent on the northbound platform of the Rivington st. station, that a man dressed as a woman had followed her into the washroom, bolted the door behind him, tightened a scarf about her neck and when she struggled beat her on the head with a revolver. She struggled so desperately, she told leased her and fled. Dougherty, that her assailant reDougherty believed from the woman's actions that she was intoxicated. Going to the street, her appearance attracted a crowd, to which she related the occurrence.

When Wiszak appeared on the street the crowd gave chase. Wiszak took refuge in the Allen st. house, where he was captured. Wiszak, a 1 pugilist, who three years ago fought "Bill" Lewis and George Papbell, among others, in Jersey City under the name of Young Eddie, denied he was in the washroom or had committed the assault. His garb, he said, was "just a HELD WITH STOLEN CAR.

Speeding west in 47th hattan, in an allegedly stolen car, according to the police, Carl Klobs, 25, of 9150 82d Woodhaven, this morning drove into a taxicab at 10th ave.
