sixth floor jets of fame
and smoke spurted. At
one time a ladder was
raised almost to a window
where the girls clung.
The yell of the crowd
was silenced when a burst
of flame on the fourth
floor caused the firemen to
drop the ladder and de-
scend.
Took Desperate Chance.
Miss Ethel Finkelstein,
rescue hopeless, leaped
from a window. She
struck the canopy over the
front entrance Of the
building, crashed through
the heavy glass roof and
was fatally injured. She
died at st. Joseph's hospi-
tai 500 'nafterwards.
The remaining women
at the windows clung des-
perately to the lodges and
seemed afraid to jump.
They could be seen
through the swirling
smoke, protecting their
heads and faces from the
heat by means of skirts
and wraps.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PUEBLO, Col, March 25.-So
far today the authorities have
been unable to get trace of the
companion of Sam Falcone, a
blackmailer who escaped from
the sheriff's posse yesterday after
Falcone had been shot and killed
by the posse.
Falcone and his companion had
written threatening letters to
Tony Santuso, In which they or
dered Santuso to place $4,000 in
an old can three miles beyond lie
poor farm.
Santuso did so but not until he
had notified the sheriff. who, with
several deputies, sought conceal
ment nearby.
When Falcone and his associate
started to take out the old can
the officials covered them with
their revolvers and ordered then
to throw up their hands.

persons were
killed today in a fire that
destroyed a building occu-
pied by Fish & Co., fu1ni-
ture dealers. The list of
dead may reach fifteen.
Eleven persons, it is
known, burned to death,
and one, Miss Ethel Fin
kelstein was killed by
jumping from the top floor
to the pavement.
-Four men and eight
women were killed.
AT one window stood
four women. Their white
faces were framed in the
window for a time, then
came a puff of smobe, a
sheet Of fire and the faces
were gone.
None but Miss Finkel-
stein had the hardihood to
jump.
The women were on the
sixth floor. Their escape
was cut off by the auto
fire doors, which
closed when the fire broke
out. Flames barred the
way to the stairways, and
the women were forced to
the windows.
The girls clustered on
the narrow ledges and
watched the firemen below
endeavoring to reach them
with scaling ladders. The
fire in the corridors of the
building grew nearer, and
1T became a race between
the firemen and the flames.
Watched Resouers Fail.
A vast crowd watched
the attempts of the girls
to cheat death by running
to the windows farthest
from the fire. Every eff
fort of the firemen that
brought them nearer to
the sixth floor windows
was greeted with cheers,
but for the most part the
vast crowd that watched
the fight was silent. Final
ly it was seen that the
girls were doomed.
The firemen reached the
fourth story, but beyond
that point their efforts
were futile.

ERUPTION OF MOUNT AETN \
CAUSES WIDESPREAD DE-
STRUCTION-PEOPLE FLEE
ING FROM PATH OF MOLTEN
STREAM.

BY United Press Leased Wire
CATANIA, Sicily, March 25..-
rhe great eruption of Mount
Aetna Is growing in intensity with
svery passing hour. Six new Graz
ers opened today and shot forth
streams of lava which have Joined
the boiling torrent that is despoil-
ing cities, towns and farms in It's
path.
Seven towns have been wholly
or partially destroyed,
Thousands of persons are nee
ing toward this city from the
mountain towns.
Scores of inhabitants of Wilt
ages on Aetna's slopes are report
ed missing. Although no dead
have been reported, it is feared
that the district may prove one
of the most destructive of modern
times.
Resembles Messina Disaster.
Scenes following the destruc-
tion of the mountain towns re-
semble those following the Mes
sina earthquake. Whole villages
are on the move and the strea ms
OF refugees composed Of terror
stricken men, women and chill
dren are coming into Catania.
Already the authorities are fac
ing a serious problem in caring
for the homeless.
The great lake of lava which
has formed at the southern base
of the mountain covers nine miles.
This overflow wrought the de-
lstruction of the greater numb er
lof the towns.
Driven From Homes.
Detachments of soldiers were
ordered to drive out inhabitants
of threatened towns and in many
cases the people, although terror
stricken by the thunderous rever-
brations and recurrent earth
shocks, refused to leave their
homes. The soldiers were corr
PEELED to use bayonets to force
them to leave places where they
were exposed to certain death.
With the outbreak of six craters
today there are now eighteen ac-
tive craters pouring forth sulphur
GUS vapors, stones and ashes.
while each is an overfowing we'll
of molten lava. Streams from
these craters combine at a point
half way down the southern slope
where they form one gigantic riv-
er of destruction.
Property Loss Enormous.
The extent of the disaster mea 3
ured by property loss, is enorm-
lous. The entire district Just
Isouth of the mountain has been
depopulated and the vineyards
and groves destroyed.
| The damage wrought has bee,
complete and 1t Is predicted that
the district will be Impoverished 1
Tor many years. Prefect Miner
veri, OF Capri, who was superln-
tending the work of rescue, was
lcut off by lava today and near,y
perished but was rescued.
Pray For Mercy.
The famous ceremony of praying g
to the Virgin to avert a calamity
was held last night. A processi IN
of priests and populace, carrying
holy images, passed through the
streets and visited the churcnes
and shrines to offer up petitions
for mercy.

FINE RACING YESTERDAY BUT
RAIN INTERPRETED THIS
AFTERNOON. s

The West Virginia Fair Associa.
ton enjoyed a great opening Tuesday
when the gates were thrown open for
the sixth annual fair. While the at;
tendance was not as great as expect.
ed 1t far surpassed all former open
ing days, and the program offered
could not have been improved upon.
The speed program was fully up to
the expectation Of all, and all the
races finished required extra heats
TO determine the winners. On account
OF darkness the 2:14 pace was not fin.
ished. The horsemen have come here
from a half dozen different states and
have brought with them horese that
have travelled fast miles this year,
and they are here competing for
honors on the best half mic oval IN
the state.
In addition to the speed program
there are attractions OF various kinds,
Shows are here in abundance, and
are offering to the people something
well worth their time and money. All
were wall patronized yesterday. and
as the attendance increases they will
profit the more.
In all. the races yesterday most ex.
cellent time was made. The track
lis in excellent condition, and the races
negotiated yesterday were Of the most
exciting kind. All the horses are
up to the very best of race form, and
their performances yesterday proved
beyond the shadow OF a doubt that
they are worthy Of the confidence re-
posed in them.
