GREAT Loss BY FIRE
MORE THAN SO LIVES LOST AT
GLASGOW, SCOTLAND.
Blaze Started in Lodging House Oc-
cupied by $50 Men in Nude Condi-
ton, Who Fought to Get Out, While
Firemen Fought to Get n-Pre-
scented Horrible Sight.

Glasgow, Nov. 20.-The most terri
BILE fire which has occurred in Great
Britain for many years, broke out here
in a cheap lodging house for men in
Watson street, and resulted in the loss
of 80 lives and the severe injury of
many others.
The flames were first noticed at 6
o'clock Sunday morning on the fourth
floor of the building, which was &C.
cupied by $50 men. An alarm was
raised and the firemen responded
quickly, but flames and smoke were
then issuing from most of the windows
on the fourth floor. An extraordinary
scene was created by a procession of
almost naked men rushing out of the
entrance to the building and against
their frantic efforts to escape the
firemen had actually to fight for adj
mission.
Victims Drop in Narrow Passages.
Reaching the upper floors, the fire.
men found that the narrow passages
were becoming congested with men
who had dropped to the floors over
come by smoke. The fire, however.
was confined to the fourth floor, and
as soon as the firemen were able to
get to work it was speedily extinguish-
ed. The flames had been fed by the
wooden partitions, which threw off
volumes of smoke, resulting in the
suffocation of the inmates, but others
had to be taken to hospitals.
The dead were mostly workmen in
the prime of life. They presented "a
horrible sight.
Escape Cut Off.
Many were sleeping in the attic
floor above the burning fourth floor
and these had narrow escapes. The
flames burst through the floor and it |
was impossible for the men to de-
scend. The windows were securely |
fastened and the men had to break |
them so that they could climb through |
to neighboring roofs.
By 10 o'clock a search of the build |
ing was made and a complete list of
the victims obtained, which showed |
that 80 were dead, and 32 injured.
Sleep in Nude Condition.
1t appears to be the custom of these
dodgers to sleep in a nude condition
and the march of the survivors to
the police station was a fantastic one.
Some had snatched the covers of the
beds and others their trousers, while
many wore nothing. The local au-
thorities had to be called upon to sup
ply the men with clothing and warm
meals. Owing to their migratory
habits and the absence of permanent
homes, many of the dead will never
be identified The identification of
others is rendered difficult by the alb
sence of clothing.
The lodging house burned is the
model institution maintained by the
city and which has been pointed to
with pride as an example of municipal
ownership, but which has been char
acterized by Americans who have In
spected it as model fire trap"

Saturday Football Games.

Perhaps the biggest football score
piled up this season was by Notre
Dame-140 to 0-against the American
college team. Utah is classed as sec.
ond, the university defeating Fort
Douglas, 127 to 0, and Nebraska taird,
80 to 0, in the game with Creighton.
Michigan's football eleven defeated
Wisconsin on Ferry field, II to 0, scor-
ing one touchdown in each half.
Moscow.-Idaho 8, Whitman 0. In
game remarkable for punting and
fumbling, eleven sturdy Congregations
alists from Whitman college went
down to defeat CALAMITY before the
University of Idaho's football team
Portland, Ore.-Multnomah almost
lost its Wanted strength on the grid
iron against the Sherman Indians, but
by resorting to kicking contest saw
ed itself from defeat and succeeded
in preventing the red men from scor-
ing. No score was made by either
SIDE, although each team succeeded
in twice advancing the ball within half
a yard of its opponents goal.
Lewiston, Idaho.-The heavier elev-
en- from Lewiston swept the Colfax
boys from their feet in a well played
game, winning by score of "a to 0.
Ritzville.-Davenport defeated the
Ritzyille high school, 10 to 0, in a
fiercely contested game.
New Haven.-Following the old
fashioned style of football, Yale gave
Princeton a % to beating, the worst
in many years, but the Princeton team
had the satisfaction of breaking Yale's
clean record on a beautiful 43 yard
drop kick by Tooker. But, after all,
the Blue can still point to a goal line
that has not been crossed by an op-
ponent this season.
Butte-In so minutes of hard, fast
play the Butte and Spokane high
schools failed to score. 1t was the
greatest exhibition of the gridiron
game ever seen in this city between
high schools, and from a spectacular
the game was easily a rec
ord beater.

failed to win victory over the Dart
mouth college team, the score being

suit was tie, while the year before
