which was destroyed by fire at C o'clock

me young women occupied rooms on
the third floor of the building. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
The fire started in the private room
OF Janitor Morris. who evidently lost
his life while fire fighting.
Miss Fizzel was at the head OF the
ire escape and turned back into the
burning building to save a diamond
ring. thus losing her life. The others
who persisted suffocated without To-
eating the fire escapes. 1t is stated
that heavy wire screens were firmly
nailed across the windows leading to
the fire escapes and the onlv way the
lucky ones escaped was by crawling
through windows adjacent to the es-
capes and then creeping along the gut
ter to the mansard roof Lawyers say
there will be damage suits instituted
against the Stale because of the fire
escape screens.
~ search for remains is being made
as rapidly as possible, but digging over
the acre of debris which is still burn
ing, is slow work. Principal Palmer
estimates the loss at 5000. 900. with S93.

the magnificent building. not even per-
sonal effects or the valuable records.
