fire AND SMOKE
ENDANGER LIVES
OF SEVEN WOMEN
ONLY EXIT SHUT OFF BY A
SHEET OF FLAME
FIREMEN BRAVE FIERY FURNACE
AND SAVE VICTIMS
Building in Broadway Set Ablaze 1t Is
Said by Careiessness of Gas
Company's EmpIoye in Re-
B.
moving a Meter

Shut off from the street by sheet
of flame and dense clouds of black
smoke which rolled up the lower stair
way, filled the upper floors and rem
dered passage impossible, seven Wo-
men, choking and gasping for breath,
were rescued from their rooms on the
second and third floors of the three
story Gilbert building, 312-S1612 South
Broadway, and were carried by fire
men down steep ladders to places OF
safety yesterday afternoon.
The fire, which endangered the lives
of the occupants of the upper floors
and created considerable excitement in
the shopping district, originated in a
small room in the basement, directly
under the only exit from the building,
and was caused, it is alleged, by care
lessness Of an employe of the Los
Angeles Gas company, who removed
a meter from beneath the stairs and
went into the narrow passageway with
a light while the gas was escaping
from a broken connection.
That an explosion did not occur
probably is due to the fact but a small
amount of gas escaped. The room in
which the fire started adjoins Tait's
cafeteria, which occupies the entire
basement. The fire quickly spread to
some chairs and other articles of fur
niture nearby and soon the black
smoke was spreading through the
building.
At the time of the fire Ira M. Potts,
proprietor of the cafe, was absent,
and as the place is closed between
o'clock and 4:30 o'clock, only Mrs.
Potts, her son and several cooks were
in the place. They hurried out of the
building and gained the sidewalk be-
fore the flames and smoke could
check their progress.
Alarm Is Sounded
An alarm was turned in and the
fremen and the apparatus arrived in
a comparatively short time. When
they reached the scene the flames and
smoke filled the entrance to the base
ment and to the upper floors and pre-
vented the exit of those on the second
and third floors.
The fremen with sledgehammers
battered large hole in the glass
lights in the sidewalk just over the
room in which the fire was raging and
directly in front of the stairway, and
1rmped back as a volume of flames
shot upward. By this time the occu-
pants of the rooms on the upper floors
became aware of the fire through the
clouds of dense black smoke which
rolled into their apartments, and made
frantic efforts to get to the street.
They rushed to the stairway and

VISITORS JOIN
NEW SOCIETY
STATE FEDERATION GROWING
IN MEMBERSHIP
HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN AND
WOMEN MAKE APPLICATION
Constitution Is Drawn Up, and Head
quarters May Be Established in
Chamber of Commerce
Exhibit Rooms

Although it's date of establishment
goes back only a week, the headquar-
ters of the Federation of State So
cieties in the chamber of commerce eX-
hibit rooms are besieged with appli-
cants for membership in the various
state organizations that make up the
federation. While it was thought the
establishment of the headquarters
would bring thousands of new members
into the organization, Treasurer James
A Williams of the federation, VINO IS
I'm charge of the headquarters, eX-
pressed himself as surprised that so
many prospective members should have
presented themselves within such
short length of time.
The federation has a membership OF
seventeen societies, each society hav-
ing a membership of persons from it's
respective state. More than 100000 men
and women are members of these So
Cieties. The states that are represent
ed in the federation are Kansas, Ne
braska, New York, Texas, Minnesota,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Dakota,
Wisconsin, George, Tennessee, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Michigan, Ore
gon and the New England states. Eff
forts are now being made to organize
Dixon line, as many persons from those
states have expressed desire to be-
come members of the federation.
The annual meeting of the fedora
tion will be held in March, at which
each state society will send five dele
gates.
Would Establish Headquarters
President Bishop of the chamber of
commerce was highly in favor of hav-
ing the federation establish headquar-
ters in the chamber of commerce ex-
hibit rooms, as he considered they 90
a great deal toward interesting the
eastern tourist in this city, introducing
them to natives of their own state and
making them feel at home i'll what
otherwise would be an entirely strange
city to them.
Treasurer williams states that 1900
persons visit the chamber of commerce
daily, and that from the present out
look the Federation of State Societies
will reap half of these as members.
"The federation is helping the eastern
visitor to become acquainted" said Mr..
Williams, land in doing TINS we are
putting MIN in the position where he
appreciates the many good qualities of
Los Angeles and naturally wants to
live here with the rest of u.s. In this
way the federation is not only doing
the tourist q good turn, but is event.

residence, to become member of one

A CREDITABLE SHOW
COMING
Louigi Bros. Shows Will Be In
Marion Next Monday and
Tuesday

Louigi Bros. shows have been
induced to stop at Marion Mon
day and Tuesday. 1t is the best
overland show on the road.
Much better than many railroad
shows that charge 80 cents. The
dogs, the ponies the clown, and
the acting is all first class. They
have no man with them who is
not regularly employed in his
duties and consequently nc
fakirs. In company with Mr..
Eskew we visited it at Salem
Tuesday and found it well worth
25 cents admission fee. They
carry the best trained lot of
dogs, and the best children
actors we ever saw. If you at
tend you are sure to be pleased.
Nothing smacking of the vulgar
is practiced by them.

MRS. ROCHESTER IN
ACCIDENT
Thrown From Buggy in Runaway
on Last Tuesday Evening and
Painfully Injured.

While Judge and Mrs. Roches-
ter were out driving Monday
evening their horse became
frightened and started to run
ming and kicking, overturning
the buggy against a thorn tree
terribly bruising Mrs. Rochester.
Her face and neck were terribly
lacerated from her fall among
the thorns. The Judge escaped
without injury of any conse-
quence. For a time the report
was current that Mrs. Rochester
was fatally injured, but this we
are glad to say from the report
the physician give is not true.
A nurse has been employed and
with the tender care she is re-
ceiving it is safe to say she will
soon be out of danger. 1t seems
her escape from a shocking death
was miraculous.

CAPE AT AQUEDUCT THEN
WHOOP 'MA-AR- -VEL-L0UST
City Officials on Tour of Inspec'
tion Are Agog

j. B. Lippincott, assistant engineer
of the aqueduct, and Meyer Lissner,
president of the board of public utili-
ties, who are members of the party of
city officials making a tour of the
aqueduct, telephoned yesterday from
Independence to S. B. Morton in the
Los Angeles office of the aqueduct de-
partment.
They declared the city officials, most
of whom have not seen the aqueduct
before, were surprised at the progress
that has been made. The party passed
Yesterday in automobiles inspecting the
work around Independence and Cot
tonwood creek, where a municipal
power house is established, and then
proceeded to Haiwee, where the larg-
est reservoir is located. They passed
the night at the Haiwee camp.
Today they will continue the auto
mobile trip and one of the points of
interest will be the municipal cement
mill at Monolith. The party will re-
turn home in automobiles Sunday.
Word from Mr. Lissner last night
was to the effect that the party had
passed a busy day covering 120 miles
by automobile and visiting the scenes
of many of the big operations on the
auueduct. Work inspected included the
big power house at Cottonwood creek,
owens river canal and Black Rock
springs
