HALF HUNDRED LOSE
LIVES IN FIRE TRAP
DEVOURING FLAMES SWEEP OY-
ERALL FACTORY.
Women and Girls Leap From Win
dOws, Most of Them Suffering
Terrible Injuries.

Binghampton, n. Y, July 22.-Fifty
persons were killed, according to late
estimates, and many were injured, a
dozen of them mortally, in fire
which swept the four-story factory
building of the Binghampton Clothing
company this afternoon. The vic
tins we're chiefly women and girls.
Early tonight % bodies had been
recovered. In the city hospital and
in private institutions are 80 injured.
Some two score persons are known
to have scaped as if by miracle
from the building which burst into
fame like tinder box and became
roaring furnace almost in no time
after the first alarm was sounded.
About 125 persons were in the fac
tory when the fire broke out. Those
unaccounted for, or most of them, are
believed to be still in the red hot
ruins of the structure.
Thousands Watch Work.
Around the scene of the catastro-
phe, the greatest this city has ever
known, thousands tonight watched
the rescuers work in the glare of
three big searchlights, many in the
great throng being restrained only by
the closely drawn police lines from
rushing into the ruins to seek the
bodies of relatives or friends.
Many streams of water are being
poured into the fiery pit, which a
few hours ago was the cellar OF the
burned establishment. AS the ruins
were cooled slightly, from time to
time in a spot upon which thf
streams were centered, men went for
ward to dig as long as human endur-
ance would allow them to work. Oc-
casionally a body was found and
quickly taken away.
This work will go on all night and
perhaps all day tomorrow before the
glowing mass gives up its last dead
It will take at least two days, the
authorities believe, before the cellar
can be cleared and the whole truth
can become known.
Sudden and Sure.
The big outstanding fact OF the
catastrophe is it suddenness. In this
the disaster bears a strong resem-
blance to the Triangle Waist company
holocaust in New York city, where 147
lives we're lost when the inf1anmable
material upon which the employees
we're working and the waste littering
the floors blazed up with inconveiV-
able rapidity and set the imprisoned
workers jumping from the windows.
The parallel here fails only in the
lesser height and different construc-
ton of the building and in the length
of the list of dead and injured.
Another resemblance to the New
York disaster is that the fire today is
believed to have been started by the
careless throwing of cigar butt or
match. In the tragedy this after
noon the burst of flames followed
quickly after the alarm. There was
little opportunity to use ordinary or
even emergency means of escape. Fire
drills had been carried on regularly
so frequently in fact, that the en-
ployes had found them monotonous.
The building was equipped with fire
escapes and an automatic alarm sys-
tenn.

Prosperity, July 24.-After spell
of severe heat and dry weather the
rain has come and again cooled off
the dry parched earth and freshened
up the crops so with favorable sea-

be as gloomy as it once seemed. Along
about the end of last week when crops
were so badly wilted it certainly was
enough to almost give fellow the

scared along this line too quick. If
it wasn't for the dry hd days maybe
we wouldn't appreciate the cool sea-

MINISTER'S NOT LAZY,
SAY CAPITAL CLERGY
Presbyterian Pastors Deny the
Accusation Made BY Their
Retiring Moderator.

Ministers are not lazy. emphat;cally
declare Washington's leading Presby-
terian clergymen, in denial Of allega-
tions criticising the clergy. made by
the Rev. DIR. Mark Matthews, retiring
moderator of the Presbyterian General
Assembly, at the annual session of the
assembly. being held at Atlanta, Ga.
"A lazy minister is an Internal trail
tor to his church. Preaching is a busi-
ness which is failing at present because
there are too many drones in the hive"
These and other expressions, extracts
from a general criticism delivered by
one of the leading members Of the
American Presbytery. have brought
forth many pointed answers from local
ministers OF the creed and other clergy
men,
"It is not So" said the Rev. Dr. C.
Ernest Granger. pastor Of the Gunton
Temple Memorial Presbyterian Church.
Men who enter the ministry expecting
to have a soft snap are fooled nine
times out OF ten. The average drone
in the ministry. like the average drone
and gets out Of the calling quickly. The
survival of the fittest applies to the
clergy as well as II applies to other
walks Of life.
Statement Is "Surprise."
"Such an extreme statement from Q
man who has held such a high posi-
ton in the church is a surprise. I think
1t is without foundation"
The Rev Donald c. Macleod, pastor
Of the First Presbyterian Church. also
voiced emphatic denial of the charges
made by the retiring moderator
II cannot agree with DR.. Matthews
in any Of his contentious regarding the
slothfulness of ministers" said DR..

On Charge Against Loeb

Pending the outcome Of a hearing
granted in New York to Thomas
O'Hara, suspended customs employe,
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo will
defer action on the charge preferred by

was suspended because he was said
to have brought a false charge against
his superior. If a case is proved against
him the matter probably will be

Macleod. Il think You will find more
earnest men in the ministry, at least
as many. as you will find in the busi-
ness walks of life. True. you find lazy
ministers, but to say that the average
minister Is lazy is to make an exagger-
ated and yellow statement"
Calls Statement absurd"
The Rev. Earle Wiley. pastor of the
Vermont Avenue Christian Church. in
answer to the criticism declares that
clergymen, like school teachers. are
overworked and underpaid.
Absurd on the face of IT, said DR..
Wiley. concerning DR.. Matthews al
legations. "Of course, there are some
ministers who take life too easy. But
the average clergyman is hard-work-
ing Individual. whose nervous energy
is being drafted continuously with
problems Of his congregation and the
troubles and trials Of members Of his
flock Drones can be found In every
walk Of life. and are comparatively less
numerous In the ministry"
