BOYS GAVE
FIRE ALARM
Children Injured in Escaping
From a Church Suppos-
ed to be on Fire

Chicago, Feb. 25.-The cry of
Fire" in Il West Side Italian Roman
Catholic church Sunday morning
during a children's mass resulted in
a panic in which thirty persons,
nearly all OF them women and
children, were injured.
Father James Gambera was sing
ing the service in the Santa Maria
Adororate church, Grand avenue, and
Peoria street, when the alarm came.
The church auditorium is on the
second floor, and escaping steam
from radiators on the first flopr
was mistaken for smoke. Down a
flight Of eighteen stairs the people
rushed or fell, shrieking in terror and
piled up in small landing until the
layer of struggling, groaning human
ity was more than twenty deep. II
resembled in small way the death
stairway of the Iroquois theater fire :.
Most of these injured were trampled
upon by nearly 100 persons, who
broke through n window at the
foot of the stairway and jumped to
the ground, ten feet below. Ten or
fifteen were pulled out unconscious.
Many others were cut by the broken
glass.
Three mischievous boys were the
cause Of the panic. They slipped
into the church and loosened the
valves in two steam radiators on
either side of the main entrance and
then ran out, letting the steam
escape in an ascending cloud that
looked like smoke to the frightened
Italians. The police are boxing
for them
Those who assisted in pulling out
from the unconscious or struggling
mass of humanity, women, young
boys and girls, say it was remark
able that none of them were killed.
Half an hour after the panic Father
Gambera was celebrating the third
mass of the day and several of, the
Aeast seriously injured fingered in
the church to give thanks for their
safety.
