norted to have been killed and anoth-
er to be missing as the result OF
stubborn blaze today in the sub-celiar
and basement of a fve-story building
at s25 Broadway, occupied In part ny
the sales rooms and Offices OF the
Remington Typewriter Company.
The blaze was confined at first to a
quantity OF material stored in the cell
lar. the burning Of which hlied the
store rooms with suffocating smoke.
with no window to allow escape OF
the smoke, the firemen were unable TO
withstand the fumes. One after an
other they were brought out uncon-
scious. by their comrades.
A temporary hospital was estab-
Ifshed In offices on Worth Street, near
the scene of the fire and many OF the
firemen were removed there. About
100 young women who were employed
in Offices of the Remington Company
and who fed to the street when the
fire started, volunteered to serve as
nurses and their services were gladly
accepted.
Fireman Richard Elliott went into
the cellar three times before he col
fapsed and was carried out uncon-
scious. John Farley, another fireman,
was reported to be missing. AL
though the fire made very slow prog
ress, the firemen had great difficulty
in extinguishing It.
