and eighteen injured. twelve OF them
which consumed the Central Tennessee
College for Young Negro Women, de-
partment of Walden University 1t is
thought that the ruins may contain the
bodies Of other victims The property
loss is estimated at $25. 600.
Three dead bodies have been removed
from under the windows. where they
fell. Two are those OF Matte Lou
Moore and Stella Edison. The third
has not been identified
The fire broke out about II o'clock in
the top Of the building which was four
stories high, and without fire escapes. II
was occupied by about sixty students,
who were asleep when the alarm was
given. The widest panic ensued, the
women and girls rushing screaming 10
the windows. from which they jumped
I'm droves-the dead and injured lying
in heaps where they fell, to be fallen
upon By those following them from the
flaming windows.
Every ambulance in the city was soon
on the scene. and the injured were hur-
ried to hospitals.
When the flames were first discovered
they seemed entirely TO envelop the
building. and II is considered almost
certain that some OF the terrorized oc-
cupants were overcome by smoke be-
fore reaching the windows.

Snow. damp and clammy. began 20 fall
in Washington last night, but while the
precipitation was heavy for awhile. it

temperature fell with the snow. and the
forecast was that the snow would take

chairman of the Republican National

Comas is quoted as having said three
months ago that he was perfectly will
ing TO give up his place on the commit
tee, and 1t is said that his attitude in
this regard has facilitated the plans
which are being discussed for party
harmony and rehabilitation.
McComas' Retirement.
The plans. as tentatively agreed upon
at Washington during the recent ses-
sion Of the national committee. IL is un-
derstood have gone so far as TO include
the retirement of Senator McComas and
the substitution OF Mr. Lowndes in his
place as national committeeman, and
the distribution Of the four delegates-at-
large TO the First. Second. Fifth. and
Sixth Congress districts. and one from
Baltimore city.
X is asserted that the men 70 be
chosen have i.et been definitely decided
upon. but it seems pretty well under
stood that Representative Jackson will
be taken from the First district. and

Representative Mudd viii probably rep
resent the Fifth district. but the city
man has not been selected. There will
also be four alternates-at-large and

number Of alternates.
Chances for Harmony.

Ecans that the proposed elimination OF
both Senator McComas and Representa-

much improve the chances for harmony.
