CAUGHT IN A FIRE TRAP.
Shocking Results of an lncendia-y
Fire In a Newark, N j.,
Tenement House.
FOURTEEN PERSONS LOST THEIa LIVES,
rbe victims All Italians, sixty OK
whom Occupied the Building
Vito Credav, one of the Tenants
Arrested and Locked Up ON su"-
piciOn.

New York. March 13.-Fourteen per-
sons lost their lives, two persons were
seriously injured and many others
slightly burned in fire in Newark, W
j., Monday morning. The fremen, al
ter the flames had been subdued, took
13 bodies from the ruins, and whlle
they were thus engaged another vlc-
tim of the fire died in the city hos
pital. One family was wiped out COM
pletely and of another only the father
lives. and he is in the city hospital
where it is believed he will die.
VeritabIe Fire Trap.
The building in which the fire broke
out was veritable fire trap. 1t was
old, of frame construction and eX-
tended two stories above the ground
floor. Until three or four years ago,
the structure had been used as
church, but it was converted into
tenement The lower floor, fronting
on 80, SO and "a Fourteenth avenue,
was occupied by three stores and the
upper portion of the building was di-
vided into 20 living rooms.
Occupied by Ten Families.
As nearly as can be learned, the
structure was occupied by ten FAM
lies, all Italians. Two Of the occu-
pants, Vito Credanza and another fam
ily, kept boarders, and though the TO-
tai population of the building could
not be definitely ascertained during
the excitement attending the fire,
there are said to have been forty or
fifty persons of both sexes and all
ages in the building when the IRE
started.
Arrested on suspicion.
The police are confident that the
fire was Of incendiary origin, and they
have arrested Vito Credanza on sus-
picion. There was disorderly card
game in one Of the rooms that lasted
well into the morning. Credanza was
a participant andis said to have made
violent threats against his fellow
players.
Awakened to Confront Destruction.
A few minutes before five o'clock
every one in the building was awak-
ened by the flames. They found them
burning at the foot of the stairs lead
ing from the first to the second
stories. The hallway and the stairs
were burning, entirely cutting off 'he
only egress from the upper floor on
which six families lived, II also cuS
off the escape by the door for those
who lived in the rear part of the first
floor. Those who could made for the
windows. From these they leaped or
dropped.
Agoni,lng Screams for Help.
The whole neghborhood was awake
In an instant, and from the burning
building came agonizing screams and
calls for help. From the basement
and ground floor the inmates of the
building poured naked, or almost so
From the upper story men and women
leaped to the sidewalk.
Were Dead or Doomed.
By the time the fremen reached the
scene the building was wrapped in
flames, and those who had not escapeo
were dead or doomed. They must
have died within a few minutes, foi
the fire rushed through every room In
