He was born in Boston, Erie County,
N. Y, Feb. %, 1927. Was teaching
at fourteen, at sixteen was clerking
in wholesale and retail drygoods
store in Buffalo, N. Y, then small
city on the Indian Reservation at the
f9et ef Lake EEts At At twenty a sysS 1--WE he
married to Clara j. Daniels Of Fort
Dearborn, Mich. Moved to Howard
County, Iowa, in 1856; moved to
Jennings, La in March 1883, as agent
of the Southern Pacific in whose
employ he has been ever since.
Found the Gulf Coast country from
Lafayette to Houston an agricultural
wilderness and conceived the idea Of
bringing northern settlers to occupy
| this territory. Was very successful
and became the Northern Emigration
Agent with an Office in Manchester,
Iowa. The early settlers were mostly
from Iowa and he was made president

numbering hundreds Of people now
number thousands. At Jennings
where one family was found there are
now over four Thousand people from
the Northwest, and the Southern
Pacific has taken $4,000 for freight

NINETEEN DEAD IN
TENEMENT FIRE
Fire Escapes Piled Full of Rubbish
Prevented Escape of Many.
MANY DEEDS OF HEROISM

New York. March 15.-Nineteen per-
sons dead. two score injured, some so
seriously that they may die. and nearly
200 persons temporarily homeless, is in
brief the story of New York's latest
fire horror The victims of the disaster
were typical East Side people. the scene
a typical East Side tenement. and the
scenes attending it were in many ways
peculiar to that cosmopolitan quarter.
To apparently reckless displays of he
roism shown by firemen. policemen and
volunteer rescuers alone is due the fact
Two hundred persons herded in the
big five-story double-decker tenement
house were sleeping when flames from
an overturned or exploding kerosene
lamp in the basement spread through
the structure and wrapped the entire
alarm had been sounded The long
narrow fire escapes which ran down
the building on each of its exposed
sides had been made receptacles for
rubbish of all descriptions and in many
cases they were rendered useless. 1t
platform on the building had in it a
blind" or square piece of board which
fits into the opening through which
the ladder passes in the grated floor.
The result of these INSTRUCTED fire es-
capes was evident when II was found
that nearly all of the dead belonged on
the top floors of the building and were
roasted before they were able to reach
the ground. Another case of negligence
which was responsible for the loss of
some lives was an immovable skylight
at the head of a ladder leading to the
roof. Battened securely and partially
covered by ice, this skylight resisted
all efforts to force it, and pile of the
bodies of the dead lay under it when
the horror was over.
Down the fire escapes flowed a stream
of humanity. On some of the escapes
the rubbish was so closely packed that
II became impossible to pass certain
points. and men. women and children
stood literally roasting to death as the
flames roared through the windows.
1t was on the fiame-swept fire es-
capes that the finest displays of hero
ism were shown. Scores of men, wom-
en- and children, driven from their
rooms by the flames which swept
through Railways and light shafts.
covered high in the air on the hot iron
ladders and platforms the flames
swirling around them as they waited
for help. Through the flames and
smoke. time after time, the firemen
rushed up to their assistance and every
trip meant a life saved. From the fire
escape. too. the men plunged in through
windows belching flames to come forth
a moment later bringing an uncon-
scious form to some place of saefty.
The fire started in the basen mt, oc-
cupied by Isaac Davis. his wife and
three children. Davis went into his
store on the same floor just in time to
see a kerosene lamp in the rear ex-
plode. He awoke his wife, and both
tried to put out the flaming lamp. but
without success. and then gave all their
attention to getting their hildren out
OF the burning building. A policeman
who heard the cries of alarm rushed %
the scene, and every effort was made
to arouse the sleeping persons in the
house.

Grave Robbers.

DIR. William Williams Keen In book
on the subject tells some interesting
things about the men who used to rob
graves and sell the bodies to medical
schools. Dickens Jerry Cruncher In
"a Tale Of Two Cities was "resur
rectionist" by night In 1928 DIR. Keen
says there were more than 100 regular
professional grave robbers in London,
besides occasional volunteers. They
did large business in a perfectly or
ganized manner. Sometimes" re-
marks DR.. Keen, they picked up cases
of apoplexy in the street, carried them
as relatives to the hospital and as rela-
tives claimed and removed them after
death to sell to anatomists." The resur
rectionists presently began to create
subjects for dlssection-in other words,
to murder people. William Burke,
who gave his name to the crime OF
burking, or throttling, murdered six
teen persons before he was caught
His trial, of ''unexampled length" said
the judge in charging the jury, lasted
twenty four hours. 1t was the very
atroclty Of Burke and his fellows that
brought about such change of laws that
medical colleges no longer have to deal
with resurrectionists and starved the
professional grave robbers out of busi-
ness.
