VICTIMS OF POOREST CLASS
Nearly 500 Survivors Escape Into the
Streets Practically Without
Clothing.

Glasgow, Nov 2O.-Thirty- men
lost their lives and 30 others were
burned severely in a fire which broke
out early yesterday morning in muni-
cipal lodging house.
The building was occupied by $50
men. most of them laborers. all be-
longing to the poorest classes. The
flames first were noticed on the fourth
floor about 6 O'Clock, and in the panic
which followed many fell down stairs
or jumped from windows.
1t is the custom of these dodgers to
sleep nude, and when the firemen ar
rived. almost Immediately an extraor-
dinary scene was created by process
sion of naked men rushing out of the
entrance. Against their frantic eff
forts to escape the fire fighters actu-
ally had to fight for admission.
Pnssaees ConGested With Bodies.
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 10
get TO work it was speedily extinguish-
ed.
Many men were sleeping on the attic
floor above the burning fourth floor,
and these had narrow escapes. The
flames burst through the floor, and it
was impossible for them to descend.
The windows We're securely fastened,
and they had 10 break them, so that
they could climb through TO neighbCr-
ing roofs.
March Nude Down the street.
The march of the nude 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 authOri-
ties had to be called upon to supply
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 render
ed difficult by the absence of clothing.

Estir ate Of Length of Time to
Complete the lsthmian
Canal
MADE BY CONSULTING BOARD
Cost Will be $3.50. o.ooo,o GOO, Only a
Trifle More Than for the
Lock Plan.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Members OF
the board of consulting engineers of
the Panama canal commission, who
voted for a sea level canal believe its
construction should not take more than
10 years or only two or three years
longer than would be necessary for a
lock canal They say the locks would
have been so large that even the draw
ings of the plans would have taken
more than year, and the building Of
the cement constructions calls for a
higher class Of workmen than the or
dinary laborers used for digging the
excavation. The cost Of the sea level
canal they estimate at about $230. 900
900, which. they claim, is only slightly
higher than under the lock plan. IL
is pointed out that between 100000. 900
and $40,OOO,00O would be required TO
pay for lands which would be inunda-
ted by a lock canal.

The breakwater necessary for the for
nation of the harbor of San Cristobal
will be an item of great expense.
On the Pacific side at Panama the
plans are also different from those of
the French canal company. The
French canal ends at La Boca. and it
was found that the Rio Grande in the
rainy season mandates the canal and
does great damage. Therefore ii was
decided the canal should be built near

place the one lock. necessitated
