ELEVEN PERSONS PERISH
N TENEMENT HOUSE FIRE
Sieepers Caught in Fiery Furnaces
With No Chance Of Escape, Many
Being injure by Jumping
From Windows.

New York.-Eleven persons were
killed, more than dozen injured,
and thirty more escaped death by the
narrowest margain in an incendiary
IRE which wrecked a tenement house
early Monday. That a deliberate at
tempt was made to destroy the house
and It's occupants as well, the police
and fremen do not doubt. Three
barrels stuffed with rubbish soaked
with oil were blazing fiercely in the
lower hall. cutting off the escape of
the fifty or more persons who were
sleeping on the upper floors. Some
OF these died in their beds, overcome
by smoke and then caught by the
names. Others who had been aroused
100 late fell unconscious before they
could reach a window and we're
burned to death scarcely an arms
length from safety.
Many were injured by jumping from
upper windows to the street or by
pelng crushed as they fought for DO
sltions of safety on the choked fire
escapes.
Mothers and fathers with children
IN their arms and the smoke pouring
out of the windows behind them and
the cracking of the flames in their
cars became panic stricken and
tossed their children to friends in the
street. Fully a dozen children were
tossed from the second and third
noors, and were caught by men stand
ing in the street. The men and
women were later carried down by
firemen on ladders.
