In the tragedy of this afternoon, the
killing burst of flame followed quick
ly upon the heels of the alarm. There
was small opportunity for any person
to use the ordinary or even the emer
gency means of escape. Fire drills had
been carried on regularly The build
ing was equipped with fire escapes and
an automatic alarm system.
The alarm tinkled, at go O'clock.
Mrs. Reed -. Freeman, wife of the
proprietor, telephoned to the Central
fire station. The usual apparatus fer

excited person at Warren and Che
mango streets, four blocks away, saw
burst of flame and pulled the box
there. The rest of the companies raa
to the false alarm.
That meant 10 minutes of delay for
part of the firemen. But even those,
who arrived first, were unable to do
anything. The first puff of flame was
hardly discerned before the fire leaped
along the stair cases up the walls, up
the elevator shaft and along the floors
and ceiling. There was a roar front
and rear and flames beched forth clear
across the street, whitening the shade
trees on the river bank and scorch :
ing a building across an alley at the
rear.
After this fierce blast, the fire seem :
ed to burst from every part of the
building at once. Upon the fire es-
capes, girls, women and men were
clustered and others We're waiting to
get onto the iron ladders. But flames
were too quick for them.
The slow starting of the fire drill
may have contributed to the holocaust.
The delay in getting all the firemen
to the scene may have been respon

swept the history factory building of
the Binghamton Clothing CO., this aft
ernoon. The victims were chiefly wo-
men and girls.
Early tonight, % bodies had been
recovered In the city hospital and
in private Institutions are 80 injur-
cd. Some two score persons are known
to have escaped, as by a miracle, from
the building, which burst into flames
like finder box, and became a roar
ing furnace almost in no time after
the first alarm was sounded.
About 125 persons were in the fac
tory, when the fire broke out. The
unaecounted for or most of them, are
believed to be still in the red hot ruins
of the structure. Around the scene of
the castrophe, the greatest this city
has ever known, thousands, tonight
watched the rescuers work in the glare
of three big searehlights, many in the
great throng being restrained by the
closely drawn police lines, from rush
ing into the ruins in an effort to find
the bodies of relatives or friends.
Water in many streams is being
poured into the fiery pit that few
hours ago was the cellar of the burn

cellar can be cleared and the whole
truth of the disaster revealed.
The big outstanding fact of the ca :
tastrophe is its suddenness. In this
the disaster bears a strong resenI-
blanee to the Triangle Waist Co, Ho-
locaust in New York City, where 1t7
lives were lost when the inflammahle
material upon which the employees
were working and the waste which lit

this afternoon, started in the mat

hours at an estimated loss of 100000
About 200 convicts aided in prevent

prison proper. Two ''Trusties" over

institutions hospital. Warden Clancy
stated that the prisoners fire squad
did excellent work and none attempt
ed escape.
Several convicts whose identity was
not disclosed, entered the fire zone
and rolled barrels OF gasoline and
benzine to a safe distance. The other
prisoners, over 1900 in number, were
marched to their cells at the first
alarm and locked in. When the fire
threa tened to attack the prison, Keep

necessary.
