l5O PERSONS DIE.
 IN NEW YORK FIRE.
GIRLS IN SHIRT WAIST FACTORY LEAP TO DEATH FROM NINTH
 AND TENTH FLOORS.
No Fire Escapes to Use and the Women Leaped Before Ladders
 Could Be Pla ced for Them.

New York.-One hundred and fifty persons-135 of whom were girls were crushed to death on the pave ments, smothered by smoke or shriv eled to a crisp in the worst fire New York has known since the steamship General Slocum was burned to the waters edge off North Brothers Isl and in 1904.
 Nearly all of the victims were em ployed by a shirt waist company sn the western fringe of the downtown wholesale clothing and millinery dis trict How the fire started will per haps never be known. A corner os the eighth floor was it's point of ori gin and the three upper flooEs only were swept. On the ninth floor 5t bodies were found; 63 or more per sons were crushed to death by jump ing, and more than 30 clogged the elevator shafts.
 The property loss will not exceed $100,000.
 Pedestrians going home were scat tered by the whiz Of something rush ing through the air before them-a body struck on the flagstones. Way farers on the opposite side of the setting sun and saw the windows of the three upper floors of the build ing black with girls crowding the sills. There were no fire escapes.
 Don't jump don't jump!" yelled the crowd, but the girls had no alter native. The pressure of thee mad dened hundreds behind them and the urging of their own fears were too strong. They began to fall to the sidewalk in a terrible rain.
 In an hour the fire was out; in half an hour it had done it's worst Probably the death list was complet ed In 20 minutes.
 In all, there were seven eXits-the single inside fire escape, two freight elevators at the rear, two passenger elevators in front and two stairways. All of them proved almost useless and practically all who escaped either climbed to the roof and scrambled IileuCe lO tie IOOl Ol ttuJolhiuS Duiiu- ings, or fled in the first rush for safety before the crush and the smoke grew too thick.
 Seven hundred persons, 500 of them women, were employed by the com pany. They sat in rows at their ma chimes, the tables before them piled with flimsy cloth, the floor filtered with lint, the air itself full of flying, inflammable dust. The first rush of flames was almost an explosion. Op- orators died in their chairs, their lungs scared by inhaling flames. Others were crowded into the eleva- tor shafts after the cars had made their last trip. Still others were pushed off the inadequate interior fire escape.
 Such a horrible stream did the bodies overflow from the windows that the fire nets, stretched by the first company to arrive, were soon gorged beyond capacity
 Some of the girls fell from the eighth and ninth floors so heavily that they broke through the very streets into the vaults below.
 A rigid investigation is being made in an effort to place the blame for the holocaust.

University Committee Files Report.

University Committee Files Report.
 The most "a iical recommendation made by the University committee, which has just filed it's report in the house, is that the board of trustees shall be self-perpetuating electing their successors and filling their va cancies. The board is to be composed of one member from each congress sional district, none of whom may be all office holder or candidate for of flee. In regard to the alleged misap- propTiation of funds, which has been charged, the committee found that some of the money had been spent injudiciously, but that there was no ground for charging misrepresentation The committee recommends the abol- ishment of the office of treasurer and secretary of the university and the substitution of the office of registrar to fill the combined duties of the two offices.

HOW DOES IT SEEM TO YOU?

1t seems to me Id like to go
Where bells don't ring nor whistles
blow;
Where clocks don't strike and gongs
don't sound
And I'd have stiffness all around
Not real stiffness, but just the trees
Low whisperings, or the hum of bees,
Or brooks faint babbing over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones.
Or maybe a cricket or katydid,
Or the song OF the birds in the
hedges hid,
Or just some such sweet sounds as
these
To fill a tired heart with ease.
If 'twerL't for sight and sound and
smell,
I'd like the city pretty well;
But when it comes to getting rest
| like the country lots the best
Sometimes it seems to me ! must
Just quit the city's din and dust.
And get out where the sky is blue;
And say, how does it seem 10 you?
