Are Spared Terrible Death

sons lost their lives and several Others
were injured early today in tenement
house fire at 100 Eighth street and
Second avenue. All the dead were
Italians. Six OF the ID were children
The bodies were huddled together in
rooms on the top floor Of the four story
building, where the teIror-stricken peo-
pie had been driven by the flames, which
rushed up from the lower floors. Some
had been enveloped in the flames and
burned alive. Others, overcome BY
smoke, we're spared the agonies Of death
by the flames.
That the fatal fire was the work d
incendaries who sought revenge is the
opinion OF the police and firemen who
made the first hasty examination. Three
weeks ago three Italians were caught
in the act of trying to rob safe in the
saloon Of Giuseppe Cudano. on the
ground floor. The safe contained more
than $1,000, which the saloonist's friends
had withdrawn from the hanks during
the money panic. The would-be rob
Ders were arrested and are now awaiting
trial.
The fire OF today started in Cudano's
saloon, and the police believe it may
have been the work of friends of tht
prisoners to take this means Of squar
ing the account with the saloonist.
Cudano discovered the fire when ht
wen. to his place of business early thi;
morning. As he opened the door ht
was met by a rhah Of flames. He dash
ed up the stairs to the tenements above
crying out to the tenants of the building
to run for their lives. When he reached
the rooms occupied by his own family
he burst in the door and seizing his
young son, Dimonio, in his arms. told
Mrs. Cudano and other members Of the
family to follow. Cudano and the boy
managed to find their way downstairs
to the street. but before the woman
could get through the flames had cut
off the exit by that avenue. 1t is sup
posed that Mrs Cudano and the other
children sought safety in the upper part
of the building.
just what happened in the burning
building before the fire was checked
never will be known. So quickly did
the flames spread that almost before
the fremen arrived the whole building
was furnace, and no one conld enter.
Even then the cries OF the agonized
women and children were drowned BY
the roar and crackle of the flames, the
kissing engines and the frantic. babbling
crowd which pressed as closely to the
tire-lines as possible. No one was seen
at any of the windows of the blazing
building, with the exception of those on
the second floor, where several women
reached the fire-escapes and were res
cued. The flames had been partially
quenched when the fremen fought their
way through the smoke to the upper
floor. There they came upon the piles
Of dead, where they had fallen victims
to the rush of the flames and smoke
even before they had chance to at
tempt to save themselves. In one heap
the firemen found a woman who had
made a last desperate effort to save the
herself was doomed to a horrible death.

AN APPEAL TO THE VOTERS
Register at Once and Help to
Perpetuate Law and Order.

Have you registered That 5
the all important question if you
expect to participate in the coming
primary and city election. True,
there is only one ticket now, but
there will be another ticket nomin-
ated on the day of the primary
election by the use of stickers on
the Good Government ticket. That
ticket may be Numerically OPP
posed to the principals of the Good
Government ticket the enforce
ment of law and order-in fact, a
second ticket could stand nothing
else than return to former condi-
tons, wide open town. If you
are opposed to a wide open town
and lawlessness, it behooves you to
register at once and urge all who
wish to see law and order abide
with us, to do likcwise-not later
than Tuesday, Nov. 18th, as that
is the day the registration books
must close. If you fail to register,
you cannot vote in either the pri-
mary or general municipal election.
Be wise and Oh the alert that the
good work begun may go on and
on until Ellensburg shall be noted

morals and otherwise. Those who
want wide-open town and a re-
turn to former conditions, are at
work, and you can not doubt 1t.
They are not blamcless, they are
standing aA1 contending for what
they conceive to be right or tor
what they want. You should be
doing the same thing working to
perpetuate the good work already
begun, the enforcement of law and
order. Let there be no back-step
taken by tho people of Ellensburg.
There should be no desire to play
