FORTY GIRLS PERISH

CUT OFF BY FLAMES THEY ARE
UNABLE TO REACH THE
GROUND AND SAFETY

Binghamptons N. Y, July 22.-Forty
girls are believed to have lost their
lives in a fire which destroyed the
Freeman Overall factory here this
afternoon. The fire started at 2:sO
O'Clock and had completely destroyed
the building in 20 minutes. One hun
dred and twoty-fiVe girls were in
the factory when the fire was dis
covered. The police declare that at
least 40 failed to escape.
Twelve girls were taken to the hos
pital, badly injured.
There were heartrending scenes.
when several girls, clinging to fire
escapes, were swept by sheets Of
flame or jumped from the factory
windoys. Exactly how many were
penned inside was hard to determine
in the panic The walls of the big
building fell at 2:5O O'Clock.
At 3:45 p. m. two bodies were seen
lying on Division street cut complete
ly in two. Others can be seen in the
ruins. 1t is now thought the number
of lives lost will exceed 40.
q. ], Lawrence, bookkeeper Of the
company, said that he was working
in the office when the first alarm
sounded. The flames were under a

front stairway. There also was q
rear stairway and fire escapes at the
south side of the building.
Most of the women were employees
in the machine operating room on
the fourth floor. They made no at
tempt to hurry from the building, at
first thinking the alarm was for a
fire drill Messengers rushed through
the building to drive the women out.
Just then" said Lawrence. "the
whole building burst into flames. It
was Of the ordinary factory construc-
tion, with timber supports and brick
wallis, but it went up like powder
puff and all was over when the
flames rushed up the front stairway
it was awful.
"The women we're in a panic in an
instant They rushed to the fire es-
capes and many Of them leaped from
the windows
.'I had 25 names on my payrolls
but some Of the employees were gone
on vacations. The lists are all inside
the burned factory. I did not have
time to put them away or to close
the safe. It is impossible for the
present to call the roll or get an ac-
curate line on those who are miss

Mesopotamia the Chaldeans built their
stepped pyramids from which to survey
the heavenly bodies and worship the
heavenly deities, and the pylons of Egyp-
tian temples were a species of tor .r.
But II was in the sixth century. A. D.,
that towers were regularly built for
other purposes-for instance, carrying
bells, the earliest examples being the two
round campanile of Ravenna, the an
cestors of a wonderful progeny of towers
and steeples for 1900 years. Italy, Prof.
Hamlin said, developed the square tower
the Roman type Of campanile. and the
northern type of brick and stone seen
best in the towers Of Lombardy and We
META. He ventured the belief that many
of the towers in Italy in the small towns
and rural districts were still undiscovered
to the world, and that a search made
thorough and complete would well reward
the one who undertook it as We'll as
bring much valuable knowledge to light.
The famous leaning tower of Pisa, the
round. and was built as it is with a desire
to make the multitude marvel. How this
theory has been deduced and why it is
confidently thought that the tower is
still perfectly secure. Prof. Hamlin ex-
planned at length and most interestino ly.
The two other most famous Italian
towers. he said, are the lovely campanile
of + orence, built in 1884. and the mighty
tower of st. Mark at Venice, which stood
for a thousand years and then fel in
ruins in 1902, but has since been rebuilt
stronger than at first in the old days.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-12-20

The fall of this tower Prof. Hamlin
attributed to poor construction and tn
use of poor material.
The lecturer then traced briefly the
evolution of the steeple or tower and
spire of nor;h ern and western Europe, In
France, Germany and England, shown
the spires of Chartres. Strassburg
Cologne. Sa isbury, Canterbury and the
tower of st. jacques at Paris and others
awarding hiahest honor for holiness and
beauty to that of Salisbury. He spoke
enthusiastica ly of the spires of st. Pat
rick Roman Catholic Ca. hedral in New
York, as an illustration of successful
effort to reproduce the grace without the
structural weakness Of some of the Ger
man spires, and he gave brief account
of renaissance and colonial steepies,
speaking especially of some of the finest
examples in this country.
Passing from these to the far east,
Prof. Hamlin described and illustrated
the charm of Mos EN- towers and min
aretS.
Modern towers formed the concluding
section of the lecture. The Victoria tower
and that of the Roman Catholic Cathedral
at Westminster, London, the Metro
poltan and Madison Square Garden
towers, New York, the Washington
Monument and the Eiffel tower, were
shown and commented upon, and the re-
lation of the modern skyscraper to the
great towers of the past was frankly
manifested.
The lecture was illustrated with excel
lent stereopticon slides.

BULL RUN; It's Strategy and Tactics.
BY r. NJ Johnston. Boston and New
York: Houghton Miff1in Company.
With the exception Of the battle OF
Gettysburg no contest OF the civil war
has been talked about so much as the
first battle of Bull Run. 1t would seem
as though the subject were exhausted
but Mr.. Johnston has brought to the
matter such patience in research, such
dexterity In sitting the salient from the
relatively trivial occurrences such an in
cisive analysis of movements, with sc
much clearness in presenting his military
judgments that he has produced dis

Johnston remarks, "was a lamentablt
illustration of the awful calamities in
variably attending nations that lack OF
neglect an army. Fortunate it was fo
us that our brother, not our enemy
smote us. Yet Bull Run was just a.
inevitable in 1861 something simila

With poultry constantly Increasing in
price, and with the cold storage houses
constantly being blamed, Il is interest
ing at least. TO look at the otheg ide.
1t appears that much OF the dressed poul-
try prepared for the market is led
and utterly wasted because the poultry
men will not take advantage of the mod
ern conveniences for COLI storage. The
Department OF Agriculture maintains a
poultry demonstration car which goes
over the country giving object lessons IL
how to take care of dressed poultry for
the market. But these lessons are not
needed as they should be.
The unseasonably warm weather just
before Thanksgiving day caused ne
spoilage and destruction of thousands
and thousands of dressed turkeys simply
because proper precautions were not
taken.
The dressed turkeys condemned and
destroyed In New York alone in Thanks
giving week represented loss OF more
than 100000. and the market inspectors
In almost every eastern city reported at
that time that the dressed poultry on
sale was largely unfit for human con-
sumption. Proper use OF refrigeration
cars and storages would have prevented
this waste.
