CHURCH PANIC
AND DEATH
EIGHTEEN ARE KILLED AND FIF
TY INJURED.
An Alarm Of Fire in a coIored Church
in Philadelphia Creates Panic and
Serious Disaster-Women
and Children Trampled.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 21.-Eigh-
teen persons were killed and proba-
bly, half hundred injured in a panic
following the cry of fire tonight in St.
Pauls Colored Baptist church. in
Eighth street
The services were held on the ssc.
ond floor of the building. A defective
flue set fire to the chimney, causing
smoke to issue through the crevlces
in the floor near the pulpit.
The room was well filled at the
time and the cry of fire" couple1
with the sight of the smoke threw the
congregation into a panic.
A wild rush was made for tho
stairs, despite all efforts of Rev. e.
w Johnson. to allay the fears OF the
frenzied people. All wanted to get out
M once and mel, women and emil
dren alike were knocked down and
trampled upon by those pushing from
behind The stairway to the first floor
had one sharp turn in it and the
frightened PEOPLE became so tightly
wedged in the bend of the stairs that
the frail wooden balustrade gave way
precipitating many to the first floor.
The crash and the screams and
shrieks OF the women and children
added to the frenzy of those above
They did not stop in their mad rush
to get out. Notwithstanding the wide
| open doors OF the first floor leading
to the street the crush was so grea,
4 that eighteen perosns had the life
stamped out OF them before the panic
was ended.
general alarm was sent in for am
balances, fremen and policemen. Ir
the meantime the 81 eatest confusion
reigned. Men and women ran about
the streets calling for missing ones
Large crowds gathered and the worl
OF rescue was promptly started. DeaC
and injured were quickly taken to hos
pitfalls and nearby houses. The fir,
was only trfiing. the flames being ex
tlnguished before the fremen ar
rived.
The disaster occurred while COLES
tions were being taken up, The pas
tor had just concluded his sermon
the text OF which was, why sit W,
unail We die?"

The much ado about nothing which
has been made in congress will de
ceive no one. 1t Is plainy the shrewd
work of railway representatives TO
make impossible during the present
session anything except compromise
rate legislation, defeating the presi
dents plans and at the same time
creating an impression that the chief
executive has gained great victory
The public demand for rate legisla
tion is so strong that II is hardly
likely congress will adjourn without

kind in makeshift form with sum
cient unseen loopholes to make IL

Biseiow had charged Sec etary TAFT

the Panama canal, and had made as

not strengthen the charges. Still the

Advertising TO a man who hasn't

that II you advertise properly the
