FOUR OTHERS FATALLY INJURED WHEN FRIEND BUILDING IS
 DESTROYED BY FIRE.
LOSS IS OVER S2OO,OOO
Twerty Girls Trapped on Third Floor Barely Escape in Time to Save Their LiVes-Death List
 May Grow.

Milwaukee, Wis, Mar 25.-Fiye firemen were killed, four fatally in- jured and four others slightly injured and two girls painfully bruised in a fire in the Friend building in the heart of the wholesale district.
 The men killed were fremen who were trapped on the roof, which caved in before they had chance to escape
 Sixteen men were seen on the roof just before it collapsed and six of these in the sight of thousands of spectators jumped from the roof, six stories above ground. Two of these are believed to be fatally injured while the others, although bruised, will recover. Five bodies have been recovered from the ruins and de- tachment of firemen is searching for other bodies.
 Twenty Girls Escape.
 Just before the men were caught on the roof, twenty girls who had been trapped on the third floor, crawled along a narrow ledge of cornice and gained a fire escape, whence they reached the ground.
 Two of the girls fell, but were caught on the platform of fire es- cape on the story below
 Bremen carried them to the ground. They were taken to a hospital. The flames spread rapidly through the building and the firemen had little chance to save the building or it's con- tents The loss will amount to more than $200,000 The building was oc- cupied by the Middleton Manufactur- ing company, maker of hats; Julius Andrae Co.,, an electrical concern, and Adolph Landauer, wholesale clothing manufacturer. The Andrae company has burrel out twice in a year.
 Stree about the burning structure were damned with spectators, packed so closely that they interfered with the work of the firemen. The fire for a time threatened to spread to other buildings in the district. It is feared that other lives have been lost than the men seen to fall from the roof. Several tiremen were known to be working on other floors and employees in the building were believed to be in danger.
