Pitiful Scenes in a Tenement
House Fire
ROASTED LIKE RATS in HOLES
Sleeping Tenants on Five Upper
Floors of New York italian House
Were Cut OFF While the Ground
Floor Became Roaring Furnace
Beneath Them.

New York, Special.-At least FIVE
persons were burned to death i'm an
Italian tenement house fire at POI f.
Seventy-third street. The house was
SIX floors high and the sleeping ten
ants on the five upper floors were
made prisoners by flames, with the
ground floor a roaring furnace be-
meath them. Three of those who lost
their lives were kneeling in PRAYER
when the fire reached them.
The police believe that the fire was
started by an incendiary. 1t began in
a heap of rubbish at the bottom of an
air shaft and spread through the in
terror of a grocery store on the
ground floor. A policeman was the
first person to see the fire, Just as it
had begun to creep up the air shaft.
He ran into the building pounding on
the hall doors all the way up to the
sixth floor to waken the tenants. The
he reached the top floor he was oblig-
ed to send the tenants there out to
the fire escapes to save them from
Suffocation.
When the fire department arrived
with its ladders, nearly every one on
the fire escapes Was kneeling in pray
er. Adding to the pathos of the scene
was the action of the men, who sto5d
with their arms full of personal pos
sessions while their wives fought I'M
aided to protect the children from be-
ing trampled by the crowd or suffo-
Gated by smoke. Every one on the
fire escapes was saved by the fire
men.
The lessee of the house told the po-
lice that the Black Hand Society had
recently sent him letters demanding
$1,000. Although the demands did
not state what the penalty was to be
for refusing to pay the money, the
police have begun an investigation,
on the belief that the fire was started
by the writer of the letters.

AS Governor-elect Hagerman sug-
gested in his speech at the laying
of the corner stone of the Catholic
hospital, Roswell rather discourages
h-ealth-seekers. This is especially
true in the matter of offering them
rooms and other accommodations,
but the people cannot be blamed for
exercising caution against endanger-
ing the health of their families by
opening their private homes to con-
sumptives. The h~ealth-seekers also
complain of the high prices charged
them for board. This, too, is a con-
dition that cannot at present be re-
NEEDED. Doctors fees are also much
higher here than they are in the
