Mrs. Ida Prentice, who had been EN-

for many years, did her best to get
the other women employees to flee when
| the alarm first sounded, believing the
danger great, while most of the others
were inclined to think the alarm was
merely for fire drill purposes. She
stayed in the burning building directing
the girls until the last minute. Then
wrapping large sheet of awning ma
terial about her she jumped from one
OF the windows on the fourth floor.
"When the fire alarm sounded the girls
hesitated," said Mrs. Prentice. 81 turned

Never before in the history OF Bing-
hamton has such a scene been enacted
in the local hospital and despite the
fact that the injured and dying lay all
about, the doctors and nurses worked
with amazing rapidity and GOODNESS.
Scarcely an hour after the fire every
one of the patients there had been at
tended to and made as comfortable as
possible. Most of them were badly
burned and were swathed in bandages
from head to foot
One OF the most pathetic cases at the
hospital is that Of Miss Ruth Crotty,

main floor opened a door and saw
| flames coming out from under the open
stairway in the center of the first floor.
Some OF our employees are so addicted
to the cigarette habit that, smoking being
forbidden in the building, they went out
into the alley every hour or so for a
puff. / believe that one OF these, on re-
turning to his work. threw the butt of
his cigarette under the stairway.
Il called to Fuller, the shipping clerk.
He came with a pail of water and threw
it on the flames, Other men came run
ming with buckets from the second floor
and threw water on the fire.
1T seemed to have no effect Just
over the place where the fire started was
shelf in which lay several pieces of
heavy plush, highly intlammable. This
caught, and there was a roar of flames.
The fire gong began to clang, the
sound echoing throughout the factory.
by this time the flames had begun to
sweep throughout the ground floor like
fash.
Mrs. Freeman, in the office, had the
telephone receiver down trying to call
the central fire station. So swift was
the rush OF flames that she had to drop
it. She and | just managed 10 get to
the front door when the whole building
was afiame.
AS we ran into the street the
bodies of girls began tie drop from the
upper floor windows. They seemed more
like sacks of -four than human beings.
saw three girls jump from windows.
1T being a comparatively warm day
all the doors and windows were open and
this provided terrific draft. OF the
twenty per cent. OF foreigners employed,
some were Italians, some Polish and
some Jewesses. But the great majority
of the victims were Americans. Some
of them had been with us 81 years.
"Jerry Orr in charge of the folding
department, STAYED on the third floor as
long as he could in order to assist the
girls to escape. Then he jumped from
the window. When | saw him later one
arm appeared to be broken, but he did
not appear to be seriously injured by
his long jump.
"If the facts ever become known | be-
lieve it will be found that the heads of
departments showed splendid heroism in
sticking to their posts and directing the
girls. Under the rules of the fire drill
they were so instructed, and ] believe all
stayed at their posts, some TO perish in
the flames.

months ago and had held several drills.
Every regulation of the fire laws was
complied with. II is not true that the
