hospitals, and it is thought that sew
eral Of these Will die. Among the in
Jured were five firemen.. who were in
a fourth floor balcony when it fell with
them.
The small number of men among the
killed and injured was due TO the fac.
that most OF the men who lived in the
building, following the Attorney street
custom in not weather, We're asleep on
the roof, while but few of the women
and children were theme. Those on the
roof were unable to escape by descend

made their way TO safety over neigh
boring rooms. Meanwhile the members
of their families who had remained in
their rooms found escape cut Off and
panic reigned throughout the structure.
The fire started about o'clock III
the morning and there was much delay
in sending in an alarm, although the

ulated in the crowded east side of New
