en- persons perished and three were in
jured in a fire which destroyed St
Johns Catholic orphanage here early
today. One boy is missing and be-
leved to be dead.
The dead: Mother Mary of the
Cross. who was Katherine Rossiter. 81
years old, a native of Dublin, Ire
land: Mother Mary Frances PasteuT
(Sylvia Sims Pasteur), So years old,
native Of Lyons, France; Sister Mary
Leacadia Catherine Nolan) 35 years
old, native of Dublin, Ireland; Sister
Mary Peter Claver Catherine Sle-

Ireland; Sister Mary Monica (Bantha

orphan 2 years old, Chas. Matlock,
an orphan, is missing and thought to
be dead. Sister Maly Kostka, e
FarrelD, native of Kildare, Ireland,
suffered a broken back and will prob
ably die
Two employees were injured.
The origin of the fire has not been
determined, but it is supposed to have
been due to defective wiring.
The nuns gave their lives to save
their charges. The death of Mother
Mary of the Cross was particularly
heroic. She had come down from her
room in the orphanageI to the chapel
on the first floor when the fire broke
out. There, mastering the children,
she attempted to count them and
learned that Francis O'Brien, baby,
was missing.
Without hesitation she went back
upstairs, found the boy and struggled
to a window with him in her arms.

who were mounting ladders she was
overcome, fell back and she and the
little boy were seen no more until
their blackened and charred bodies
were taken from the ruins.
The feat Of the sisters and their
courage became al-ucst unbelievable
as details of the fire developed.
The three sisters who lived left the
falling building in order to lead res
cued children away from the danger
zone. Many of the orphans were ba-
bies, and how the sisters were able
to awaken so many of the sleepy lit
tie ones and get them out of the
building is remarkable.

ELIZABETH. Oct. 22.-Asserting

or Hiram W. Johnson, of California.
addressed employees of the Singer
Sewing Machine Manufacturing Com
pany at Elizabethport today at noon.
While he had an audience of 500 a
Socialist speaker, William Walker, of
Monmouth county, addressed a rival
gathering of 300 only a few hundred
feet away.
Governor Johnson said in part
There are various phases to the
present political question. The other
sides have confined themselves to
two specific propositions, namely, the
tariff and the trusts. ] have neither
time nor inclination at this minute
to take them up.
II shall take up instead something
that should touch your hearts, per-
sonally, politically and socially and
which has not been touched upon by
the other parties.
',rhe chief asset of a nation is its
men, women and children, and the
serve its human resources.
"a government which devotes It's
entire time to protecting its property
rights alone is a poor government.
Obscure People Important
"You have often looked at a shining
piece of machinery which, when ex-
posed to the sunlight, gives forth
brilliant reflection and attracts your
eye. But you are aware when you
are looking at it that underneath that
shining surface there are cogs and
wheels that are more important. Such
1t is with life There are some per-
sons who are always in the limelight
Sometimes little thought is given to
those underneath in the dirt and
CRIME, but. like piece of machinery
they are as important, and some
times more important than those In
the limelight.
My object is to do justice TO this
other class. We will insist upon a
minimum wage standard for women
and a day of eight hours for both
men and women. We advocate an
adequate employers liability bill and
an old age pension.
I'VE have a leader who works in
behalf of humanity with as much
'dyamitic' energy as possible. He
has a punch and Is not afraid to
use ii.
ANY leader that will be afraid to
use the big stick to fight his way
through would not be worth his salt
at this time"
Borden d. Whiting was present and
former Senator Colby spoke. Lunch
con was afterward served at the
Elks' Club.
Governor Johnson will speak in
