INSANE ASYLUM BURNS|
WOMEN ARE ALL RESCUED
FROM ILLINOIS INSTITUTION.
Thirty Thousand Dollars Damage at
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Fight
to Save Patients Life.

JACKSONVILLE, Ill.,, December p
Without the loss OF a single life and the
permanent escape of any one. $50 woman
inmates of the Northern Annex Of the
Illinois Insane Asylum tonight were re-
moved and housed in other wards while a
ierce fire destroyed the annex, causing
800 600 damage. For fear that the fire
might spread. 200 other woman patients
were moved from wards near those burn
ing. The annex that burned was a quar-
ter of mile from the main building.
When the fire alarm was sounded the
night attendants congregated the patients
from the two upper floors on the first
floor and marched them to the south an
mex 800 feet away. The women in the
burned building were all of the incurable
class. although few of them are violent.
Desperate Fight to Save Life.
A few women ran back into their rooms
and hid themselves under beds or in
closets and narrowly escaped death by
fire.
When 1t was thought that all patients
were out, William McElroy, an attendant,
to make sure went from room to room.
In a top floor room he found an aged wom-
an huddled. In bed with comfort over
her head. Although the woman fought
desperately amid binding smoke and
threatening flames, McElroy carried her
out to the yard, where he fell to the
ground with his burden. 1t took at
tenants an hour to restore McElroy.

Early Change Not Probable.

In view Of the action of the House in
making no change. and in view Of the
policy Of the Senate to make changes
only after much elaboration, 1t is not
anticipated that the recommendations
of the Commissioners for this change
will be followed by Congress this year
One Of the important matters to be
considered by the Senate subcommittee
will be the making Of the playground
appropriations payable entirely from
the revenues Of the District. Many
local citizens believe the half -and-half
agreement of Congress has. been vio-
lated by this feature of the House bill:
and it Is certain that the point will be
raised before the Senate subcommittee.

The Commissioners will be called be-
fore the committee early in January to

creases over last years appropriations

farland and West, although their resig-
nations are effective January l. will ap-
pear before the subcommittee On ac-
count of the holiday recess OF Congress
their successors could not be confirmed
until about the time that the Senate COM
mittee is ready to take up the District
bill. and the successors will not have time
to familiarize themselves with the needs
of the local government.
No change in the form of the District
bill or in the arrangement of the ap
preparations is expected to be made this
year. The Commissioners recommended.
in connection with their estimates. the
adoption of a new form which would
alter the arrangement Of the estimates
and of the appropriation bill. the change
being recommended by Auditor Alonzo
Tweedale and approved by many mu-
nicipal organizations.
