she were addressing a crowd above her.
A tongue of flame licked up along the
window sill and singed her hair, and then
out Of the smoke which was beginning TO
hide her from view she shot feet fore
most, her arms still raised, and fell, with
out turning, to the street.
1t was she, Bertha Weintrout whom
the police found more than an hour
later still breathing under the cataracts
of water spilling from ledge to ledge
upon the dead who lay around her. About
2o0 other employees, mostly women, in
the meantime had got out on the floor
Of the ten-story building frenzied with

School
Students Rescue $50.
At the first cry from the burning build
ing two of the law students. Charles h.
kremer and Elias Kanter. led party out
to the roof of their building, which is
a story higher than the building where
the fire occurred. Kanter, kremer, and
the other students dragged two short lad
ders to the roof of the law school, and
by making a sort of extension ladder OF
the two short ones Kremer got down
tried to get the girls into orderly lines
and send them up the ladders to where
his school-fellows were waiting to grab
them to safety.
The students got fully $50 women, girls.
and men away from the burning building
in this way. At the other end of the roof
from the students ladder about fifty men
and women were fighting with one an
other to climb about five feet from the
roof OF their own building to the roof of
an adjoining building at the corner of
Waverly place and Greene street. The
law students say that the men bit and
to climb to the slightly higher roof and
safety.
Hauled Up Ladder by Hair.
Kremer, when the last of the group
crossed the ladder and had been saved.
climbed down the ladder to the roof Of
the Asche building and went down the
roof scuttle through the smoke to the
eighth floor. He could see only one girl
who ran shriekins toward him with her
hair burning. She had come UP from
the floor beneath, and as she came to
kremer she tainted in his arms.
He Smothered out the sparks in her
hair with his hands and then tried To
carry her up the narrow ladder to the
roof But because she was unconscious
he had to wrap long strands of her hair
around his hand and drag her to fresh
air in that way. His friend Kanter
helped him to get the girl up the ladder
to the law school roof and the two stu
dents, after she had been revived, got a
taxicab for her and sent her TO her home
in East 1O6th street They did not ask
her her name.
