After the fire was out and twenty-seven
dead men had been dug from the ruins
Of the Arcade lodging house In Boston,
everybody began to blame the law and
bewaai the fatmsy construction OF cheap
lodging houses. II was the usual thing In
lodging houses, eeins an old building With
wooden stairs and rooms divided fnte q
mAse Of cells BY light wooden pGrtitions.
There are various stories as to how The
fire started. One version IL that Il began
in a heap OF rubbish in lower corridor
st. Louis has many lodging houses built
just as the Arcade was built. About two
years ago two men were trapped In one of
them which caught fire. They were saved
only because ladder company running to
another fire happened to pass that way.
Nothing but luck stands In the way OF
more fires like that one, but there will be
no ladder company happening past next
