New York, Nov. 11.-Three persons

nearly half a hundred were overcome

temporarily homeless as a result OF a
series Of fires in various parts OF the
city yesterday. In nearly every case
the fires were in tenement houses oc-
cupied by a large number Of families
and at least two Of them are thought
to have been started by incendiaries.
That no more lives were lost un-
doubtedly was due to the fact that the
flames were discovered in every in
stance before they had made great
headway, and the excellent use made
OF life saving appliances by the fire.

other apparatus enabled the firemen
to save many persons whose escape
had been cut off by flames and chok-
ing smoke.

though In no case did the money loss
exceed a few thousand dollars, the
dense clouds of smoke which swept
up through halls and elevator shafts

all were found by firemen and carried

was that in an upper East Side apart

Forty-five families were driven from
