TRAGEDY DISCLOSES PURE
GOLD OF SELF-SACRIFICE,

When the intermingled incidents of
self-sacriiclng heroism in the High
street fire tragedy are cast up people
will long remember how Miss Anna
Haag, the forewoman. tried to save
Stella Hodurek and her aunt, Mrs.
Frances Konseka, and how in turn the
girl refused to be saved until she had
lost both Miss Haag and her aunt in
the deadly smoke and flame.
Miss Haag lies in the City Hospital
today, lowering between life and death,
after leaping from the fourth floor
window. Mrs. Konseka's name Is
among the list Of dead.
Nearly demented by the horror of it
all, Miss Hodurek was still able to tell
today this graphic story OF the fright
full experience Of the three brave
women who thought last Of their own
lives throughout the panic that ragged
about them:
IT know that Miss Haag could easily
have escaped among the first who fled
down the stairways,'' said Miss Hodu-
rex at her home, 3s Livingston street,
today. II know it,, because / was
cropping around through h first of
the smoke and flame for my aunt, and
I saw her standing at the doorway
through which almost all those who
escaped got out. But she would not
leave.
Come, let's fnd your aunt she
cried to me, and together we made our
way into the midst of the panic again.
We found my aunt-found her almost
overcome, but still she could have been
taken to the street.
"sYou take her. Miss Haag cried in
my ear. I'm going back here to get
out those other girls and to try and
save the books
But my aunt would not leave with
out Miss Haag. The forewoman had
been her best friend since she came to
work in the factory, and when she saw
Miss Haag start back into the rear
of the building she sprang after her,
crying, Anna, Anna, come back here.
Let me get the books!'
but Miss Haag was out of sight by
that time and text I knew my aunt
had leaped from q window. Then l
thought l couldn't save Miss Haag,
but I'd try, anyway, and I went after
her. I think l was the last to see her
before she was fairly flung headlong
from q window where she stood trying
to keep down the panic Of the girls.

and at her, hurled themselves over the

sympathetic strike.

Ter, 10 years old, fired upon a crowd
of strikers that had stormed the Miller
home. He shot off one OF Miss Frances
