Kansas City, Feb. 3.-Mrs. Jennie
Bert, the landlady of a rooming house
at 1116 Wyandotte street, near the
business center of this city, lost her
life Saturday morning in an heroic
effort to save some of her roomers
from burning to death. Four of the
roomers met death in the burning
building.
The dead: Mrs. Jennie Bert, aged
20, Harrisonville, Mo-, waitress; Ma
bel Bert, aged IS, waitress; Nina
Graves, aged 10, waitress; Peter Room
ey, aged "a, cook; Charles Johnson,
aged %, cook. The injured received
slight burns and cuts and none is in a
dangerous condition. All of the dead,
except Mrs. Bert, lived in Kansas City.
The fire started from an explosion
of natural gas in the basement at 3
o'clock in the morning. The flames and
dense smoke spread quickly through
out the building and before an alarm
could be given all means of escape by
the ordinary exits had been shut OF
The five persons who lost their lives
were asleep on the third floor, and all
save Mrs. Bert were burned to death
in their rooms.

years ago recognized 1t as fatal and
now have armor wrapped around the
sides of their war vessels from FIVE to
seven feet above the water line.
That. despite repeated accidents on
board our ships. the Navy Department
year after year has approved Of plans
by which the greatest guns on the
ships are directly above an open shaft
leading to the powder magazine.
That other nations long since recog-
nized the criminal stupidity Of thus en-
dangering the lives of officers and men
and have remedied the defect by use
of common sense and ordinary precau-
tiondry measures.
That, without regard to the protests
of experts. our battle ships have been
built so low that II the sea Is heavy
and ships are in action, the sea would
wash over the vessels. render some OF
their most effective guns useless and
practically leave the ship to the mercy
Of the enemy.
The officers In the American navy
who command the battle ships and
squadrOns are too old that under ex-
listing conditions young men cannot at
tain command. and that the service Is
badly crippled as result.
That there is too much bureau man.

of the bureaus immersion in details.
