Many Lives

H~''J
New York, Nov. 16.-At least five
persons were burned to death in an
Italian tenement house at 221 East
Seyenty-third street, early today.
The house was six stories high and
the sleeping tenants on the five upper
floors were made prisoners by the
flames, with the ground floor a roaring
furnace beneath them Tnree of those
who lost their lives were hneeling in
prayer when the fire reachd them.
Within the first hour, after the fire
was under control, the bodies of three
women and two men nad been taken
from the stairways between the sec
ond and third floors. The police be.
lieve that the fire was started by an
incendiary. The fire started in a
heap of rubbish at the bottom of an
air shaft, and spread through the in
terror of grocery store on the ground
floor.
Within few moments all the fire es-
capes were packed with persons whom
the flames had cut off from escape by
the interior stairWays.
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 stood
with their arms full of personal posses.
sions while their wives fought unaided
to protect the children from being
trampled by the crowd or suffocated
by the smoke.
Every one on the fire escapes was
saved by the fremen. The dead:
Guiseppi Randazzo.
Antonio Lorea.
Calvatore Tiazza.
Santa Tiazza
Antonio Zelarde.
The lessee of the house told the DO
lice today that the Black Hand soci-
ETY. had recently sent him letters de-
maDding $4,000. 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.

ST. Petersburg, Nov. 16.-Fne outlook
is much less threatening today, the
general strike promising to collapse
within a few days. The appeal made
to the cour.Sry to join in the movement
met with no response and the dissen-
tions in the workmen's council are in
creasing.
| 1t is now apparent that extremists
took the decision to order general po-
| litical strike hastily and without due
preparation in the belief that the whole
country would rise at their bidding and
continue the revolutionary movement.
Having once demonstrated the power
of a general strike as a weapon with
which to terrorize the government the

his smashes and service occasionally were
brilliant, but they were so fitful that they

MIR. Brainard H. Warner delivered lee
ture last evening on Life in Mexico" at

which are open to the public.
Mr.. Warner, who has Travelled extensively
in Mexico. talked of the pleasant times he
had when he had visited the sister republic.
and expressed the hope that he might at
some date in the near future have the
chance of returning there. During the lee
ture Mr.. Warner spoke highly of the de-
votion of the Mexican people to the re-
ligion which had been handed down by
their forefathers. They have a particular
fondness for the old churches which were
built after the time of Cortez and before,
and seem always to be Jealous in their
love of the faith.
Visitors to Mexico are much impressed at
the way the Mexican loves to attend his
church, and Mr.. Warner thought the men
of the wide sombrero who live in Mexico
are power for good in this line He spoke
of the rise of polygamy. and said that as
a practice, Mexico had frowned upon 1t in
the past Dut that II seemed to be coming
forward and establishing a place for itself
there, and that several communities had
been established where 1t is openly praticed
Batopilas was then talked of. 1t is of
interest to Washingtonians, he said, be-
cause of the fact that after he quilted the
chair of governor of the District of Column
bfa Governor Shepherd went to that city to
take up his residence. The governor went
to the Mexican city to make his fortune,
and was living quietly when the grim reap
er came his way.
Mr.. Warner paid high tribute to- General
Porfirio Diaz, who has been president of
Mexico for SO long time. and was very
profuse in his eulogy of this great leader.
The pictures of the Gar of all the Rus
sias was thrown upon the canvas at the
close of the lecture. together with the pic
ture of the Mikado of Japan. and good
lil1enesses also of the Commissioners of the
District Of Columbia, Mr., Warner announc-
ing closing thought that Messrs. Mac
farland, West and BiddIe are entitled to be
