Refused to Desert Her Patient
While the Hospital Was Ablaze.
BOTH WE'RE BURNED TO DEATH
Although Ample Opportunity Was GIVEN
Minnie Baumer to Escape from the Fire,
Others Perished in the Ruins of the Dea-
ooness Home-0ther Inmates We're Saved

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 1.--one of the
nurses in the Deaeoness Home gave up her
life during fire which destroyed the hospital
to-day. rather than leave to his fate one of her
patients, Albert Almyer. Both were ere
mated, as it was impossible to rescue them.
The woman was Minnie Banner.
The others who were burned were Jacob
Krause and an eight-months-old baby, Walter
Clark. The fire started in the basement, pre-
sumably from the furnace, and before it could
be eXtinguished four OF the fifteen patients in
the house and hospital were dead and the
building almost entirely destroyed. Brave
work on the part of flremen and police alone
prevented further loss.
The building was a wooden structure,
three stories high. In an incredibly short
time there was but little left of the building
but few parts of the side walls. The flames
had gained considerable headway before the
persons on the top floor discovered their peril
Gus situation.
DEVOTION OF THE NURSE.
It was then too late to descend by the stairs
and thereupon the four gave up their lives.
Before the fire department had arrived and
before the flames had reached the outside of
the building Minnie Baumer, one of the
nurses, appeared at the upstairs window and
implored those below to assist her in getting
out her patient. who was Albert Aln1yer,
one Of the men burned All saw that it would
be folly to attempt to enter the building,
which was now burning flercely.
Jump 10 the porch and save Yourself"
they cried to her, as she was but fifteen or
sixteen feet above the broad yeranda roof.
81 can't leave my patient" was the reply
OF the brave woman, as she turned TO look
hack into the room, evidently to quiet the
fears OF Almyer. who thought she was going
to leave him. For moment the brave woman
stood looking down into the crowd below
her and then duty triumphed over her desire
to be saved. The smoke was pouring from
the windows about her and her white, star
tied face appeared as a picture in frame of
darkest ebony.
TURNED TO CERTAIN DEATH.
Then she turned into the room and was
seen no more until her blackened form was
carried tenderly from the building shortly
after. Aroused by the smoke. James Ehret
one OF he patients, groped his way to the
side window Oh the second floor and waved
his hand to those outside. The signal was
seen and two men secured ladders, which
they spliced together and placed against
the window. Ehret started to climb down.
but lost his hold and was caught by those be-
low
Minnie Baumer, the nurse who had re-
mained to guard Almyer. was found terribly
burned at the foot OF the bed.
In an adjoining room was found the body
OF the young child. 1t had been suffocated
The four bodies were placed in dead wagon
and taken to the morgue

District Attorney Birney yesterday con-
firmed tie view originally published exclu-
sively by TIE TINES six weeks ago that Alex
ander Island is in the jurisdiction of this Dis
trict
The question was officially referred to Mr..
BirEey by Attorney General Olney week
ago. Mr.. Birney will report that there is a
strong case to be made out in favor Of the
District jurisdiction. and If the ordinary
course is pursued proceedings will be COM
menced from the Attorney Generals office
before the United States Supreme Court to
enforce the general governments claim to
control Alexander Island as part of the Dis
trict of Columbia. The State of Virginia will
be the defendant TO any suit that may be in
sIituted.
- Mr.. Birney holds that Alexander Island is
as much part OF the Dis;ri as is Analostan,
Fhe change of jurisdiction, as stated by THE
TIMES originally, would kill the island race
track. for no pools may be sold in this Dis
trict. and no pools, no races.
