MANY VICTIMS
FROM EAST SIDE
Distressing Scenes Follow the
Awful Fire in New York
City

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, March 27-It was the
lower East Side Of Manhattan, be-
tween Second avenue and Avenue c,
almost the exact location that furn-
ished a majority of the victims of the
destruction of the Steamer General
SlOcum that suffered most by Satur-
days holocaust in the Triangle Waist
factory. Some one seems to have
been lost in every street of this quar-
ter, and today groups assembled I'm the
rain and stood outside of the houses
to which bodies had been brought
from the morgue. In many instances,
where the victims were orthodox Jews,
their bodies were brought home for
prayers and then taken Immediately
to the cemetary, as the faith makes
immediate burial of those suffering a
violent death compulsory.
But there were many TO whom this
did not apply and the bodies were sur
rounded by the bereaved relatives
whose cries and wailing made the
task Of those who had TO pass through
the quarter a sorrowful one.
Need of Relief.
There was evident need for immedi-
ate relief on every had today. In
many instances the victims had been
the sole wage earners of the families
and their meagre income had been
sufficient only 10 bring in the daily
bread as it was consumed. With
their incomes cut OF many families
today were facing starvation In
order TO remedy this, charity workers
were on hand to aid
In addition undertakers were en-
gagged to bury those whose families
We're without funds, Plots were pur-
chased in the cemetaries and the sor-
rowing relatives were told that proper
burial would be given their dead.
Three homes in a single block of
five houses In Cherry street furnished
three victims; and similar incidents
! were common on other streets IN the
section.

PHILADELPHIA
Rigid Examination of Buildings
in That City Will be Made
by Officials

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, March ~
Aroused by the appalling loss of life
IN New York's factory fire. the newly
elected board Of fire-escape inspec-
tors, In charge Of Fire Marshal John
Lattimer, Will next week begin a
rigid examination of all fire escapes
In this city. Heavy fines will be i'm
posed on all property owners whose
fire escapes are not found in first
class condition.
The principal safeguard in this
city from a fire horror such as befell
New York on Saturday, local fire
officials point out, is the tower fire es-
cape required by law on all buildings
of three stories or over except those
used as dwellings. All such buildings
erected since 1906 have been pro.
vided with these tower escapes. Old
er buildings are equipped with iron
outside escapes.
The New York fire was a terrible
thing said Fire Inspector Baxter
today. "and the man responsibI.
should be punished. While l do moi
criticize New York 7 do believe that
there should be a more comprehen
sive and more stringent set of regula.
tion enforced. I recommend the tow
