Between Twenty and Thirty Per-
sons Perish at Montreal
TANK CRASHES THROUGH ROOF
People in Building Buried in
WreCkage When Fire Starts.

Montreal, June 14.-Between twen-
ty and thirty people lost their lives
when the supports of the sprinkler
system tank on the roof of the Herald
building gave way and the great mass
of metal and water, weighing thirty
five tons, went crashing to the base
ment.
Fire broke out Immediately, adding
its horrors to the disaster. The fire
men displayed splendid heroism in res
cuing scores of people from perilous
positions in the tottering walls. Some
of the walls had to come down before
the work of recovering the bodies
could be safely attempted.
The first warning of the impending
disaster passed almost unnoticed.
There was a slight cracking; then a
little more, somewhat more pro-
nounced, but it was not until the cell
ing plaster began to fall that a rush
for the stairway began. Before any
one reached it there occurred a final
deafening crash and then chaos. Some
survivors tell Of falling one and two
floors before the awful crash died
away and then they found themselves
able to crawl through the dense dust
to a place of safety. The majority
sought safety by rushing to the front
of the building. Fortunately all the
floors held about thirty feet from
the front wall, and to this is due the
into the hundreds, for there were
nearly 300 people in the building at
the time.
Girl Displays Great Heroism.
One ladder was hoisted, reaching tc
the fourth floor, on which the bindery
was located. 1t came between two
windows. From one of these a little
girl crept along the coping until she
could reach the ladder. Grasping a
rung with one hand and placing a foot
On another, she lent a helping hand
to eight or ten girls twice her size
When all the girls had reached the
ladder and had been brought down to
safety she came down alone.
A dozen injured people were brought
from the ruins by the firemen, many
OF them with broken limbs.
All of the members of the editorial
staff escaped unframed, their quar-.
tiers being located in the front of the
building. John C. Walsh, editor of the
paper, and the members Of the staff
were taken from windows by firemen
The fire started from the stereotyp
ing department, the red hot Goals from
the furnace evidently being distribut
ed on the different floors through
which the pots passed on their way tc
the basement, for the fire appeared tt
start almost simultaneously on all the
lower floors.
The building was valued at $150,00(
and was owned by the Herald com
pany, while the valuation of the PLAN
is placed at 100000. About half the
linotype battery remained in position
and it is believed that the two news
paper presses, located in the base
ment, were not seriously damaged

plant totals SLIT, 900.

According to reports received at the
local station this morning from the
recruiting stations in West Virginia
for the month Of November, they show
that there were more men enlisted a.
the local station than at any other In
the State. and, further, that there were
less reflections at Fairmont than any
OF the others. Nearly every person
who made application was accepted.
for the reason that all passed the
mental and physical examinations,
which, to a certain extent, is very
rigid and II the applicant is not almost
perfect physically he is turned down.
AS an Illustration, there was a young
man of this city, who Is a fine look.
ing fellow and apparently very healthy
but the sight of one eye lis not perfect
and he was not accepted.
According to one of the officers in
charge of the local station, the army
is not taking any young men now
that cannot show good clean records
and who cannot come up to the re.
Quirements, both mentally and ply.
sically, and that no negroes are want.
cd, only for certain positions in tho
army. ~ 81
The standard ofsthe army is being
made better from every standpoint
and only good men7are now wanted.
Not great many years ago men of
almost any class would be taken into
the ranks and the better men would
not enter the service for the reason
that they did not care to associate
with such fellows, but now 1t is diff

Embarrassed.
Affairs Placed I'm Hands of Attorney
to BE Settled for Benefit of
Creditors,

Rumors were flying about the financial
district late yesterday afternoon that a
local broker was in difficulty and was
threatened with failure.
When traced 10 their source 1t was
learned that Griffin Halstead & Co,
stock brokers, had become financially en-
barrassed and that the assets Of the
company would be liquIdated for the
beneht OF creditors.
Mr. Halstead last evening confirmed the
truth Of the rumors and made state
ment that his difficulties had come about
through circumstances over which he had
no control, and that his affairs had been
placed in the hands of an attorney for
a settlement with creditors. The state
ment follows:
Because OF various unfortunate cir
cumstances over which I had no control.
and therefore unavoidable, have become
financially embarrassed. The exact stu
alton cannot at the moment be definitely
determined. I can say. however, that
my affairs are in the hands OF my attor-
ney. H. P. Galley. who has been in
structed 10 act entirely for the benefit
Of my creditors without regard TO my
personal welfare"
Mr.. Halstead said he was unable last
night 10 make any statement regarding
10 assets or liabilities.
