Eighteen people ARE DEAD
IN WEST VIRGINIA,
DweIIers Near Pottery Plant in Wheel
ing Lose Presence of Mind in Fright
Over ExpIosion-BuiIdings Occu-
pied by the Flood Victims Were Not
Touched by the Flames.

Wheeling, w. Va, March 18.-Eight-
teen persons are known to have lost
their lives because of an early morn
ing fire at the Warwick Pottery COM
pany's plant.
Because of water surrounding the
burned district it was impossible
the fire apparatus to reach the scene.
The firemen pressed into service all
the boats that could be secured and
carried lines of hose to the burning
buildings. BY this means they fought
the fire and assisted in rescuing many
persons. The crew of a boat moored
across the river manned yawl and
rescued about 100 persons.
The men were offered all kinds OF
rewards and big sums of money for
the work they had done, but they re-
fused to accept a cent. Most Of the
imperiled persons were Syrians, and
at times when the big yawl was filled
to overlooking it was with difficulty
that the rivermen prevented the fran
tic foreigners from upsetting the
craft Had the drowned persons re
NAMED in their houses none of them
would have met death. The buildings
occupied by the victims were moi
touched by the flames, but the explo
sion that started the fire terrorizet
the people.
The majority of the persons living
in the district are Syrians, and aftel
the fire they refused to return to theil
homes. They are being taken care o
in the city hall and county building.
