THIRTEEN DEAD
Big Fire in New York Tenement District To-Day = Several
 Also Injured T
WORK OF NCENDIARY

New York, Nov 25.-Thirteen per- sons lost their lives and several others were seriously injured to-day in a tenement house fire at 109th street and Second avenue. All the dead were Italians. Seven of the thirteen were children. The bodies were found huddled in rooms on the top floor of the four story building where the terror stricken people had been driven by the flames which rushed up from the lower floors. They had met death before they could reach win dows which led to the fire escapes and safety. Some had been burned alive. Others, overcome by smoke, were spared the agonies of death in the flames.
 That the fatal fire was the work of incendiaries who sought revenge IS the opinion of the police and firemen. Three weeks ago three Italians were caught in the act of attempting to rob safe in the saloon of Giuseppe Cudano on the ground floor. The safe contained over 5000 which the saloonkeeper's friends had withdrawn from banks during the money panic. The would be robbers were arrested and are now awaiting trial. The fire of to-day started in Cudano's saloon and the police believe that it may have been the work of friends of the prisoners who took this means of squaring the account with the saloon keeper.
 Cudano discovered the fire when he went down to open his place of business early this morning. With out waiting to investigate he dashed up the stars to the tenements above, crying out for the tenants to run for their lives. When he reached the rooms occupied by his own family he burst in the door and cS'rying his young son. Dominic. told Mrs Cudano and the other members of the family to follow. Cudano and the boy got down the stairs to the street, but be- fore the women could get through, the flames had cut them off. It is supposed that Mrs Cudano and the other children sought safety i!: the upper part of the building.
 So quickly did the flames spread that almost before the firemen arrived the whole building was furnace and it was impossible for any one to enter Even the cries of the agoniZed women and children were drowned by the roar of the flames. Not q person was seen to appear at any of the windows of the blazing building with the exception of those on the second floor, from which several per sons reached the fire escape and were rescued. This was explained when, after the flames had been partially checked, firemen gained the upper floors. There they came upon piles of dead where they had fallen vic tins to the rush of flames and smoke even before they had chance to at tempt to save themselves. In one of the heaps the firemen found a woman who had folded her arms tightly around her baby and then huddled down close to the floor, her own body protecting that of the child The mothers body was badly burned. Tbat of the child bore scarcely q scar, but it was dead from suffocation. On every side of the mother and cyil1 lay the bodies of other victims.

PAY YOUR TAX
OR GO TO JAIL
This Likely TO be the Out
come of the CapilatiOn
Tax Question

The New Castle County Levy Court
yesterday afternoon refused TO allow
County Treasurer Burns to return the
capitation tax levy Of 5000 for the year
1905, and the levy of SOFA for the year
1906, as errors, and inumated that he
would have to collect the amounts.
Although there is a law compelling the
payment by every male citizen in the
county of an annual capitation tax OF
% cents, little effort has been made 10
collect it because Of the expense the
county would be put to in getting the
money. Now that the Levy Court has
refused to allow the amount as error
every effort may be made TO collect the
tax. despite the expense.
Il shall consult my attorney on the
matter at once" said Mr.. Burns this
morning while discussing the courts ac-
ton. 'The law says that all persons in
the county shall pay the tax annually.
1t is my duty to give notice Of the tax
levy and If the tax is not paid within
thirty days from the notice must notify
the taxables a second time. If they do
not pay the tax within five days from
that notice 1 have authority to place in
jail every man who does not pay the tax,
and compel him to pay all costs Of the
proceedings. You see, / could place many
men in jail: in fact could fill the work
house. but that. Of course. would not be
pleasant duty. II my lawyer says col
lect the tax. it viii be jail FOR someone 80
The court allowed Mr.. Burns the fol-
lowing errors: County and poor, 1906,
S397794; negro and school, 1905, NSi.43.
