MANY OTHERS INJURED

New York, Sept. l.--Fourteen per~ sons were killed and nearly 2 score in~' jured in fire in a double tenement In Attorney Street at an early hour tn1o morning. It was one of the worst fires in the loss of human lives tnae has occurred on the East Side in sev< eral years, although the property less was slight. Y.
 The dead include four women. one man and nine children, ranging n age from three months to IF years.
 Many of the injured were taken fo hospitals, and 1t is thought that sew eral of these will die.
 Among the injured were five firemen who were on fourth floor baiconH when 1t fell with them.
 Men slept on Reef.
 The small number of men among the dead and injured was due to the fact that most of the men who lived In the building. following Attorney Street custom in hot weather. were asleep on the roof. while but few Of the women and children were there. Those on the roof were unable to es- cape by descending through the burn ing building and. made their way to safety over neighboring roofs.
 Meanwhile, the members of their families who had remained in their rooms, found escape cut on and panic reigned throughout the structure.
 The fire started about : o'clock in tho morning, and there was consider able delay in sending in an alarm, all though the district Is one of the most thickly populated in the crowded East Side of New York. When the firemen reached the scene, some of the tenants were jumping from the windows and from the ends of fire escapes that reached only to the ground floor; oth- CTS were crouching in the smoke in the small rooms and narrow halls.
 Lamp Caused Fire.
 The fire Is supposed to have been caused by the explosion of a lamp that had been left to light the hall on the second floor and the sleeping tenants were not aroused until the hallway was abIaze- and escape through tho building was cut of.
 The fire was soon extinguished ana the search for the dead began. Most of the dead were found on the two up- per floors
 While the search of the building was going on, four iremen were at work on a fourth floor balcony when it gave way. Another fireman on the balcony on the floor below was also carried down and was probably fatally injured. will recover. Two of them fell on a pile of bedding in the courtyard and their injuries were caused chiefly by the iron work of the balcony falling on them.

Sizes for
Damages

II. F. Aldrich, through his attor-
neys, Barnes & Latimer, has filed
suit against the Northern Pacific for
damages alleged to have been sus-
tanned while he worked for the COM
pany as head brakeman. He claims
that on the 18th Of August, 1903, he
was on his train when it was sud-
denly stopped. throwing him from the
top Of a car. where he was working,
violently to the ground, injuring his
back, head and hurting him inter-
nally, rendering him unconscious. He
claims that he will never be able to
work at anything requiring any ply
steal endurance. wherefore he sues for
damages to the amount Of $4,000. AL
drich is now and has been for some
time past a resident of California.

that this is an evil that can be abolish

Boyd very sensibly says, it has always
been with us and it always will be,

ton is not in the business district. and
is under the very nose of the police
department where it can be regulated
almost to the extent of suppression
The tenderloin will never be anything
other than that for which it is now
used-the home of dance halls, dive

Notes OF
Railroads

Superintendent A. Beamer Of the
Northern Pacific has issued a notice
to his freight engineers regarding the
speed of the trains. The engines are
being worked too hard and freight
trains have in the past been run too
fast. 1t is raising havoc with equip
ment. For one thing too much time
is lost at water stations and the en-
gineers make this up on the runs
Another thing has been the cause of
this order. Too much coal is being
consumed and the cost per 1000 tons
per mile for fuel is much higher than
it should be. Engineers have been
ordered to effect a decided improve
ment in this matter.
A weekly inspection of watches is
demanded on all rail lines running
into this city. Many engineers and
conductors have become careless in
this matter and have been called to
time by the officials. All watches are
subject to an inspection weekly by
the regular inspector of the compan-
les. Hereafter it is proposed by the
superintendent to keep a close check
on this matter.

Seattle, is in the city.
