dozen more deaths is to-day's toll of
the fire which burned Friedander &
Co.'S leather factory on North Bodine

cult. Many of the fire fighters were
overcome when they rushed from the
furnace heat to the zero weather of out

lapse of the walls of the factory at an
early hour this morning after the fire
was under control. II is thought that
