the 500 men, women and boys at work.
There was wild rush for the fire
escapes at the front and rear ends Of
the building. In which the weaker

stronger. The men pushed the women
aside and when they reached the sec.
ond story instead of waiting for the
ladders to be raised pushed the wom-

and leaped themselves. In this way
many women were hurt.
The worst scenes, however, were on
the stairways, by which crowds of the
panic-stricken employees tried to
escape from the building. The men
shrieked as II mad and, knocking the
women down, trampled them under
foot. At the third story there was a
blockade and had 1t not been for the

submarine boats. The accusations
were made at the first hearing given
by the House committee on naval af-
fairs in its investigation of Mr.. Less
ler's charges.
Mr.. Lessler said Philip Doblin, a
deputy In the office of John McCullagh,
superintendent of elections in New
York, called on him (Lessler), repre-
senting that he had been sent by Mr..
Quigg and that Mr.. Quigg had told
him there was $4,000 in it if he (Less-
ler) could be brought to the other side.
Mr.. Lessler said that on his rejection
Of the proposal Doblin suggested that
Mr.. Quigg was a man of power and in
fluence and that if wanted to come
back here | would be aiding myself by
doing this favor
Mr.. Lessler then told of an inter
view he had with Mr.. Quigg at the lat
ter's solicitation. He said Mr.. Quigg
did not mention torpedo boats, but
added: 'As I had no other business
with him inferred it was on this &C.
count he came to see me-" He said
he told Mr.. Quigg there must be no
suggestion of money raised.
Mr.. Lessler told of conversation
he had with Mr.. McCullagh in Wash
ington. Mr.. McCullagh, he said, told
him that there were men in New York
who could re-elect him or defeat him
and that they wanted him to support
the submarine boat measure. Mr..
Lessler said he told McCullagh he
could not do it, This testimony was
corroborated by Mr.. Lesslers secre-
tary, Frank B. Zon.
Mr.. Quigg, who was present, asked
for an early hearing, but the commit
tee decided first to hear Mr.. Doblin,
and he was summoned from New
York.
Mr.. Quigg made statement denying
the allegations made concerning Dob.

(Quigg) with offers of money, but ad.

He said he had no personal interest in
