With Fatal Result to Sew
eraI Occupants.
JUMPED TO DEATH
One Woman Dies at Hospital as
Result Of Leaping From a
Window on Third Floor.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 2S.-
Three lives were sacrificed when the
Marion, three story apartment house
on West Church avenue, was practical
ly Quilted by fire at an early hour this
morning The dead are:
J. d. Raht, aged 81, coal operator,
burned to death In his apartment on
the third floor. -
Mrs. Edward Lockett, aged 43, bum
ed to death on the third floor at door
of room where her children slept

jumping from third floor window.
The more seriously injured are:
Mrs. J. D. Raht, jumped from third
floor window; concussion of the brain

escape, spine injured by the fall.

ed ankle, burned on legs and arms;
jumped from third floor window.
Edward Lockett, manager of Jeffer-
son Woolen Mills, burned on face and

The fire was discovered shortly after
o'clock. When first seen all the hall
ways of the three floors were furnaces
of seething flames. Policemen and
firemen who were first on the scene de-
voted all their energies to saving hu-
man life. for not single occupant of
the building was able to get out by
means of the stairways. People who
crowded to the front windows and to
the top of the third floor veranda were
begged not to jump and the fears of
all were allayed except those of the
three who made the plunge to the
street below.
Judge Will D. Wright, owner of the

Coming, Mr.. Paul Gilmore in
the Success Of All Successes

''The Mummy and The Humming
Bird one of the best society comedy
dramas which has been before the pub
lie in years and has met with the
greatest success everywhere, will be
presented at the Wilson Theater,
South Pjttsburg, May 8.
The play is one of the most inter
esting comedies seen here in many a
day. 1t is very cleverly constructed
and it ''holds the mirror up to ma
tnre' in very searching sort of way.
1t is bit Of society life placed upon
the stage and shows very vividly the
follies, vanities and mistakes which
often bring about serious complica-
tions between husband and wife, but,
in this play the rare strength and wis
dom on the part of the husband saves
the situation. Lord Lumley is we'll
meaning husband, who is so absorbed
in his scientific research and investi-
cations that he neglects his wife, but
does not in the least realize the mis-
take be is making. He is the "Mum-
my" The 'Humming Bird" is the
foolish and interruptions man who de-
liberately plots to win the love of the
neglected wife and take her from her
husband In this he almost succeeds,
but the husband, when he finally awak-
ems to the situation, does the unusual
thing and takes an almost unnaturally
wise course. Instead of denouncing
and renouncing his wife and parading
his injuries and wounded pride, he
sensibly admits his own mistake and
takes the blame and responsibility up
on himself, and thereby wins the un-
dying love and gratitude of his wife,
and he accomplishes the defeat of the
villain.
The cleverness of the construction
consists in the making out of the prob
lem which is accomplished largely by
the aid of an Italian organ grinder
whom Lord Lumley brings into his
home from the most whimsical of mo-
tives. The Italian makes known by
signs and pantomine and few discon-
nected Italian words that he is seeking
the destroyer of his home upon whom
he has sworn the vendetta The man
whom he is seeking is the would be
lover of Lady Lumley The situation
contains both freshness and novelty in
the working out and development of
the action. The lines are bright con
talning, as they do, bits of worldly
wisdom and clever epigrams.
the we'll known society actor, Mr..
Paul Gilmore, has been secured for
Lord Lumley, character which he
has made famous. The supporting
company is also strong and includes
Miss Katheryn Hutchison.
