attempted to find an exit by the stairs,
but they were stopped by the smoke
at the seventh floor. number of them
made frantic dash for the windows on
that floor and jumped to the roof of an

SO.
Elevators Kept Running.
Hundreds of others dashed for the
elevators, two of which were kept run

asphyxiated by smoke, many of the
girls were fainting or unconscious
when the elevators reached the ground
floor, and were carried out by the po-
lice. Others were hysterical with fright
and created great connection by their
screams.
