TEN PERSONS DEAD,
FIREBUG SUSPECTED
Firetrap Tenement House in
Mulberry Bend Section Be
comes Roaring Furnace.

NEW YORK, Oct 5.-Ten persons are
dead, two are dying and six others were
badly hurt in a fire early today which
destroyed the four-story tenement house
at M Mulberry street. the heart OF
Mulberry Bend section.
None Of those who lost their lives had
a chance to escape. They We're penned
in the rOokery-like building with a
column OF flames roaring up the one
stairway IN the front, and with the fire
escapes in the rear so cluttered with
boards and rubbish as TO bar the
progress of those who were fleeing for
their lives.
The fire was the work Of an incen-
diary. The police have a description
Of a man who carried barrels OF oil
soaked rubbish into the hallway with
WhicS TO start the fire.
The bravery Of firemen saved the lives
OF more than twenty persons. Among
these were six little children, who were
thrown from windows into the arms Of
fremen, police, and pedestrians. An
entire family was smothered to death on
Battalion Chief Jennings pronounced
the building fre-trap. declaring the
nremen had practically no chance to
save the unfortunate victims.
Scenes in the Mulberry street district
were heartrending. When the flames
were first discovered through one small
door Of the congested tenement a panic
ensued. Pistols were fired and the deni-
sons Of little Italy ran TO and fro, shout
ing inCOherently, but with no thought
of turning In an alarm.
Terror stricken faces appeared at the
dirty windows only to disappear into
the black smoke behind as terrific eX-
plOsiOns rocked the building. Women
screamed and men IN their night raiment
crept onto the window castings ready 70
jump
Firemen and police reserves, cut of
from their repeated attempts at rescue,
shouted themselves hOarse in a vain
effort 10 command the frenzied inmates
not to jump. Fire nets We're spread and
aerial ladders shot toward the flame
chOked windows, but 20 these devices
little or no attention was paid
Fire Marshal Kelly said. This fire
IS the result Of a black hand attempt al
extOrtiOn. From reliable witnesses !
learn that two men We're seen rolling a
barrel into q hallway Of the building
and within ten minutes the place was a
firery furnace. Two explosions occur
