HAVE AWFUL EXPERIENCE
Two of Those Pinned Under Freezing
Debris for Twelve Hours Are Taken
Out Alive, but One Succumbed on
the Way to the Hospital-Some Of
the Victims Killed in Brave Effort to
Save Comrades.

Philadelphia, Dec. 23.-Fourteen
known dead, twelve firemen and two
policemen, and more than fifty injured,
of whom twenty-five are still in hos
pitfalls, is the record of the fire at the
leather factory of Daniel Friedlander
in this city. These figures were given
out by the police and the city officials
believe they have accounted for all
the men who were at work at the fire
when the several walls of the five
story building fell in on them.
OF the injured several are in a
critical condition and may die.
What is believed to be the last body
in the ruins was taken from the ice.
coated mass of debris sixteen hours
after the fire started.
Two firemen were taken out of the
ruins alive after having been pinned
under the great mass of twisted iron
and broken bricks for twelve hours
but one of them, Thomas Pass, died
on the way to hospital.
The work of digging into the ruins
was exasperatingly slow to the police
men and firemen who had been on
duty all night This was due princi
pally to the extreme cold weather
which froze the wet ruins into an al
most solid mass. 1t was one of the
coldest mornings of the present sea
son and the rescuers suffered keenly
in the wintry weather.
How the Disaster Occurred.
The Friedlander factory was a five
story building on the west side oi
Bodine street and ran west, the real
extending to the east side of Third
street. The building had been com
pletely burned out and the fire con
fined to within the four walls when the
disaster occurred.
Chief Baxter was standing on the
roof of a two-story house and was di
recting the men for the final fight tt
subdue the flames. Water tower truck
No. 7 had a ladder against the front
wall on Bodine street, playing great
stream of water into the flames. JUS
inside the building at Bodine street 6
group of firemen were throwing water
on the burning ruins. Suddenly the
Bodine street wall fell inward, buryins
all the men who were within the build
| ing and carrying down the big ladder
of truck No. Z, on which there were

Four of the fremen who were or

The cries of the firemen caught be

sooner had they climbed over the

wall came down. This caught not only

Suggests New Plan
To Nominate Judges

preme bench of Washington who
was a democrat and elected by
the people. Judge William H.
White, Seattle, was appointed and
served two years. He was DEM
ocrat. and was appointed by Gov
ernor Rogers, along with Judge
Hadley, who was republican.
The democratic convention
which was held in Bellingham
(then Whatcom) in 1904 tried to
bring about bipartisan supreme
bench. Nlen the convention
came to the nomination of judges
they only nominated one and
endorsed Judge Fullerton. The
republicans met previous to the
democrats and had nominated
Judges Fullerton and Rudkin.
You will note that the major
ity of the supreme bench will be
changed this fall. There are
nine members of that body, and
five of them will come before the
people for reelection. So far
none of the present judges has
announced himself for reelection,
but if an agitation is not started
now for a bipartisan court, the
republicans as well as the demo-
Gratis will nominate judges in par
tisan conventions.
There have been some scandals
in connection with the Washing
ton supreme court that caused
one of its members to resign, and
there has been charges made in
the last few years that were a
disgrace to the state. Why the
legislature should want to go back
to the old convention system 1t is
hard to see. This is an age of re-
form, and it is a pity that Wash
ington should have taken a step
backwards when the direct pri-
mary had given such good
start. HARRY II. COLLIER.

Editor Times:

Editor Times:
Under present law as passed by
the late legislature the right to
nominate supreme judges by the
people was taken away. The
non-partisan feature of the direct
primary so far as the supreme
judges are concerned was elm
mated, and this fall the judges
will be nominated by party con-
ventions. There Is one redeem
ing feature to the law, as 1t al
lows conventions regardless of
party to nominate such judges If
the people so desire.
The republicans will hold their
convention to nominate judges in
Tacoma on August 3. There are
five judges to be nominated to
fill the vacancies by the expira-
ton of the terms of the follow
ing judges: Rudkin, Fullerton,
Morris, Parker and Gose. Judge
Fullerton and Rudkin have served
on the bench since 1905. Judges
Morris, Parker and Gose have
served since the resignation of
Root and the creation of four
Judges by the legislature. The
holdoyers are Judges Dunbar,
Chadwick, Crow and Mounts.
Why would it not be good
idea to call the democratic con-
vention to meet in Tacoma Au-
gust 1. Let the democrats nomi-
nate two men and leave three va
cancies and pass resolution
calling on the republican conven-
tion to nominate three and en-
dorse the two democrats. This
would not give a non-partisan
bench, but it would be bipartisan.
Under the direct primaries Judge
Stephen Chadwick was nominal
