MANY FIRE VICTIMS.
Thirteen Perish In Chicago
and Five In Saratoga.
LIST OF INJURED NUMBERS THIRTY
Burning of Snnitarium In Which
Were scores of Helpless Patients
Causes PitifuI Spectacle In
Middle West Metropolis.

CHICAGO, June 1O.-Twelve men
and one woman were killed and about
thirty persons were injured in a fire
which late yesterday destroyed the
sanitarium conducted by the st. Luke
society at the corner of Wabash avenue
and Twenty-lirst street. The society
occupied the building which was long
known as the Hotel Woodruff and for
a brief period as the Hotel Lancaster.
BY far the greater portion of the pa
tients received in the institution were
those seeking cure from the drink hab-
it and those who were addicted to the
use of drugs.
When the fire broke out, there was on
the fifth floor number of patients suf-
fering from dClirium trCmens and some
who were deranged by drugs. Several
of these were strapped to their beds,
and it was found impossible to save
them, so rapidly did the fire spread
through the building.
The fire originated in the basement
of the building and spread rapidly to
the upper stories through the elevator
shaft. The blaze was discovered by
James Newell. Il grocer, who was driv-
ing through the alley in the rear of the
building. He noticed smoke coming
from one of the basement windows
and ran into the engine room to dis
cover its cause. Behind the boilers in
the center of the cellar and within Il
few feet of the elevator shaft he saw a
small flame. The next instant the
flames were caught 10y the draft in the
elevator shaft and carried up with IL
roar.
Newell shouted to several men in the
alley to give the alarQ and to alarm
the inmates of the building. Several
hurried to do this. but by the time they
reached the first floor of the building
the flames had been carried to the roof,
had eaten through it and were leaping
high in the air.
As the cry Of fire rang through the
building patients Sprang from their
beds. and before they could be pre-
vented several had jumped from the
windows to the pavement The fire de
partmcnt was on the scene within Il
few minutes. and rs the windows were
filed with people shrieking for help the
tremen devoted their first efforts to
save lives ana allowed the fire TO burn.
While this was the means of saving Il
large number of people. who were car
riod down the ladders by the fircmen.
it gave the fire such Roadway that
there was almost no chance for those
on the upper floors of the building to
make the IT, pScHup and such of them
as were not Sufocated were killed or
badly injured 10y leapng from the win
doWs.
