Emma Goldman, and two others, was
arrested yesterday by central office de-
tectives who broke up an alleged an
archist meeting on the East Side.
Emma Goldman made speech which

command to disperse The other pris-
oners are John r. Coryell, who pre-
sided at the meeting and Israel L. Sch

fused to leave the hall when it was
cleared.
Emma Goldman is specifically charged
with violation of that section Of the

as accessories and the boy is charged
with disorderly conduct.

With Monetary Loss Of Only
$25,ooo-other Firemen
Hurt.

New York, Jan. 7.--Three firemen were
killed during fire that burned out the
interior of HIPS paper warehouse IN
Roosevelt street last night.
Just before the third floor Of the five
story structure fell, all the men were
ordered out OF the building. Firemen
Campbell, Siefert and Lennon, who had
been working within the walls. failed to
despond and subsequent roll cali es-
tabllshed that they are beyond doubt
buried in the ruins. The monetary loss
was about $4,000.
Seven other firemen were injured.
The fire was under control when the
third floor collapsed, pulling down with it
the floors above. At first it was be.
lieved that all the fremen had escaped,
but later Battalion Chief Duffy was
found badly injured He reported that
he believed others had been left behind in
the building. Campbell, Seifert an1
Lennon had been at work with Duffy on
the fourth floor and hurried roll call
developed that these three members Of
engine By were missing. 1t was learned
that they had been on the fourth floor
and had started TO get ont Of the build
ing by way of the fire escape with Duffy,
but later turned back and started down
an interior staircase leading into an adj
joining building through open windows
on a back light shaft.
Duffy said he heard somebody talking
in the big smoke blackehed room ana
walked back few feet and called aloud,
receiving what he thought was an an
swer. He did not recognize the voice.
Duffy heard rumbling above him
and knew that the walls were about to
fall. As he reached window the floor
beneath him gave way and he was left
clinging by his hands to the window cas-
ing on the inside Of the building. In
falling piece of broken pipe had pune.
tured the battalion chiefs stomach, and
his hands were badly cut. However, he
managed to hang on amid the flames and
smoke and finally drew himself up to
the window ledge and gained the fire
escape, from where he was rescued by
other fremen.
