There was bad management in connection
with the fire in Brooklyn yesterday morning.
Part of the blame at least seems to rest on
the telephone people, who refused to send ont
an alarm when advised by message from the
burning building that flames had broken out.
Why other measures were not at once taken
to summon the Fire Department is not clear :;
Int il was half an hour before the fremen
arrived when they were too late to save the
doomed structure or to prevent loss OF life.

that no bishops were chosen to occupy them.
