He was for years the secret financial
agent of the trust and Is now under
indictment for restraining Interstate
commerce in connection with the grab
of the Pennsylvania refinery plant.
Since the original sugar scandal
leaked out seven high officials of the
trust have died, one suddenly under
mysterious circumstances and two by
their own hand. They were Henry
o. Havemeyer, founder OF the trust,
who died very suddenly after ne
learned the federal officials were in
vestigating the concern; George F.
Graham and Frank Nipple. who kill
ed themselves: II. K. Pomeroy. w. #.

others badly hurt as the result of a
FIRE that at an early hour this morn

Greek and other foreign families.
The flames spread so rapidly that

that all the injured were hurt.
Witnesses say that most of those
who jumped could have waited a
few moments longer and avoided

the halls OF the second and third

they were in danger. Smoke and
Flames blocked every avenue of es-
cape.
Police sounded the alarm by break

side stairway that led to the second
floor. 1t was ffteen minutes before
the fire department arrived, a dead
telephone being partly respons' BILE for
the delay.
Naked men leaped through win
dows, carrying the sashes with them.
Caswell n structural iron worker re
maned at his wife's request to try
to rescue her pet cat. He clothed
himself first and hunted for the cat
for five minutes before the smoke
drove him half suffocated to the
street.
Across the hall from the Caswell
flats eight Greeks occupied three
rooms, They all Jumped Men in their

street to a hotel and put to bed.
Those who We're seriously injured
