Constantinople, Turkey. = The
troops of the garrison made a violent
demonstration before the Parliament
building against the Committee of
Union and Progress and the Govern
ment. They demanded the dismissal
of the Grand Vizier, Hilmi Pasha, the
Minister of War and the President of
the Chamber. The outbreak was
caused by an order issued to the
troops to the effect that they must
obey their officers under all circum-
stances, even If called upon to shoot
down their co-religionists.
The mutineers as the first nov
seized all the officers of the Commit
tee of Union and Progress and held
them prisoners. Only a few of the
troops ~refrained from taking part in
the demonstration. The latter, which
were chiefly artillerymen and cavalry,
massed at the War Ministry. They
had orders to fire on any one ap-
preaching the building, and during
the course of the day a number of
persons were killed or wounded.
Deputies were escorted to the cham
Der, in order that they might vote on
the question of forming a new Cab

SIX LIVES LOST IN FIRE
Lenox, Mass, Suffers From Ex-
pIosion and Flames.
Dynamite and Turpentine Explode in
Basement of Building, Trap
ping the Inmates.

Lenox, Mass. - Six persons were
killed in the fire which almost wiped
out the business section of Lenox.
Four business blocks and two dwell
ings were destroyed. The property
loss is estimated at $250,000, with
insurance of Sill, 00e.
The six persons who were killed
were asleep in the Clifford Build
ing, a three-story structure, when the
fire started. They were: Miss Isabel
Cook, forty years old, a bookkeeper;
Miss Alice French, forty-one years
old, a bookkeeper; Miss Mary Sparks,
twenty-six years old, a school teach
er; Edward S. Ventres, f~orty-one
years old, al electrician; his wife,
thirty-ive years old, and their daugh-
ter, Leslie, twelve years old.
Mrs. Catherine Root and her sons,
George and Arthur, were badly
burned in escaping from the building.
The fire started in the stock of
James Clifford & Sons Company,
hardware dealers. They had turpen-
tine, paints, oils and dynamite stored
in the basement.
George Root, who lived in the up
per story Of the Clifford Block, was
awakened shortly after 1 O'Clock in
the morning by smoke that rolled
into his from a partly covered
chimney hole. He called his brother
and mother, and they ran down the
front stairs in their night clothes,
shouting to the other occupants of
the upper floors as they went. They
found the front door in flames, but
the men wrenched it open and they
dashed through.
The Roots had hardly crossed the
street before there was a terrific ex-
plosion in the building behind them,
and in an instant the Clifford Block
was all af1ame. This explosion was
heard for a distance of six miles,
shattered windows within a wide ra-
dfus and caused the fire alarm to
ring.
Horace Perrill and his wife, other
occupants of the top floor, aroused by
the shouts Of the Roots rushed
through a long corridor to the back
stairs and got out in safety.
All the other occupants of the Cliff
ford Block lost their lives. While
the fire was at its height a woman
was seen to climb out of a flame-filled
oom to a veranda on the second
story with her night clothing and
hair ablaze. Staggering to the rail-
ing she leaped to the sidewalk, land
ing in a heap within a few feet of the
blazing walls. Some of the onlookers
tried to rush in to drag her out, but
the intense heat drove them back,
and it was hours later before the
body, that of Miss Alice French, was
recovered.
Lenox has only a small volunteer
Fire Department, and until aid came;
from Pittsfield, Richmond and Lee
the flames spread rapidly. The Cliff
ford, Eddy, Mahanna and Bull build
ings, the residences Of Joseph Gilbert
and Mrs. Rose Colbert and some
smaller structures were destroyed.
Only a shift of the wind from north
west to southwest saved the Public
Library and the Curtis Hotel.

Ossining, N. BARNARD Carlin,

falling because the wire attached to
one part of the apparatus broke and
fell to the floor, so that no circuit
was effected at the first attempt.
