A nine-year-old boy who had been pos

and Herkimer street, Ili.siklyn, late .Yes
terday afternoon, confessed lat night to
Fire Marshal Itrophy tint he started the
tire himself by throwing a lighted match
Into the linen room.
Thanks to a lire drill and to the fact
that all except one of the ninety-right
boys and girls In the orphanage were at
supper on the ground floor, there was
no suspicion vf a punle and nobody was
harmed. Two women teacher had to l'e
helped down the escapes from the fourth
floor, nlncty-llve patients In St. John's
Hospital, near the orphanage, were In
danger, nnit the old folks In the Home
for the Aged, which Is part of the same
quadrangle, weie, to ay the Ic.ut,
fidgety.
The boy, who, accoullng to the Klre
Marshal, owned up after three hours of
Vollte resistance, Is Cieorge Zutell, one of
the foity-elght bojs cued for by the
Protestant Kplscop.il Church In the Or

Into the dining room whete hli com
rades were at supper and announced
that the building nns on the.
.Mnrclied Out at Order.
At a won! from Sister Julia, a dea
coness In charge of the dining loom, the
ihlldreu arose from their bread and milk
and marched quietly Into the safely of
the open qu.ire which Is surrounded
by buildings of the Institution. Although
nil the bread hhiI milk wus ruined by
the Hood that the firemen turned Into
the Orphan House the children wvre glad
enough to get out with their lives, and
they agteed that Genrglo Zutell was a
pretty tlpe sort of a lal to dlscoxer the

When Marshal lirophy began his In

night charged with piracy for having
single handed raptured a Hrltl,h ship
with a crew of llfty-slx moil on the high
seas.
The blame for his own capture and the
frustration of his plans Schiller places
on "four puis In Hoboken. who backed
out and left me alone .o go ahead with
out them."
Schiller stowed hlmse-f away on the
British steamship Matoppa In Hoboken
and crawl, d out of the lifeboat at ?
o'clock last night after t v steamship
had denied Sandy Hook light '.il;. With
two revolveis he mudo his way to the
cabin of Capt. Itlchard II ic.ncr and
took charge of the vessel, whlcl vv.i
hound for Vladivostok. Siberia, with
barbed wire and railroad materials.
Schiller kept the llrltlsh "aptaln a

the two vvireliss operators and smashed

but she did not sail until tin- pillowing

1 the ship to sail and cursing tlm sailors
who nail lieu to me. i-or two nays I
did not rat. I had only brought sumo

to bo known .'is such. Schiller Is my
name by preference. I may have sev
eral other names, but I am giving you
only the fragment of my story; the
foundation of It I will not reveal.
Will .Not tell All.
"1 will not tell everything, and no
power can make me. 1 was much Im
pressed by the poor captain's story
about his wife and children and what
would Imi'l-en to him If he lost his ship.
He claimed that he would never get
another vessel if I m.nlo him run It
right up on the rocks.
"I turned the matter over In my mind
and decided that they might take tire
barbed wire to Siberia. Where 1 came
from In Germany Is nobody's business.
1 did not serve In the Gcrmay navy
nor In the German army.
"I spent my years of service In Kng-
land and eanio to this country one year
ago. I know nobody ; nolimly knows me.
It was all very funny and enjoyable.
You ougi'.it to have seen those Knglish
men Jump for this lone German."
Schiller s a slender, dreamy eyed
fellow with the wavy curly hair of a
musician. lie takes himself seriously
and delights In speaking about his ex
ploit with dramatic emphasis on the
heroism of "a German with an Idea."
