 New York, Nov. S.-Nine persons lost their lives today when fire gutted the celluloid factory of Robert Morrison & Sons on Columbia street, Brooklyn. Six of these were caught like rats in trap, behind barred windows on the ground floor and their frantic appeals for help and shrieks of agony when the fire finally reached them could be heard for blocks.
 A dozen men employed in the fac vainly strove with bars and hammers six, but were finally driven off by the flames and smoke, only leaving the window when their own clothing was ablaze.
 The fire was one of the worst that the Brooklyn firemen have had to deal with in several years.
 Starting on thesground floor from some unknown reason it spread with great rapidity and it was impossible for anyone in the building to escape All of the workers on the top floors had to jump. In this way a number were injured.
 Of the bodies recovered but one has been identified. It is that of William Morrison, junior partner in the firm, and this Identification was only posi- tive through half charred card found in the remnants of his coat. It is un- likely that ony of the other bodies now in the morgue will ever be identified as they are simply charred masses of flesh and bone.
