EXITS CUT OFF
DEAD MAY REACH FIFTY
ONLY Al OUT OF 1926 EMPLOYEES
OF NEW YORK CONCERN ARE
KNOWN TO HAVE ESCAPED

Binghamton, N. T., July 23.-At day
break today big force of city EN-
ployes began the search for the dead
entombed beneath the smoldering
ruins of the overall factory of the
Binghamton Clothing company. Con
servative estimates place the number
of dead at more than so.
About 1875 employees, mostly women
and girls, were trapped in the burning
walls. OF these only Al were known
to have escaped. Sixteen charred bo-
dies, as yet unidentified, were recov-
cred last night
The identified dead are:
NELLIE CONNOR.
SIDNEY DIMMICK.
MARY CREGAN.
MISS FULMER.
LOUISE HARTWBLL.
MRS. ALVIN WHITE.
MARY PRYOR.
The list Of 1874 employees of the COM
pany who were on the payrolls Satur-
day. some of whom were on vacation,
is in the safe under the ruins, making
the task of compiling the list of dead
a difficult one. The loss by fire and
water to the buildings and stocks OF
the five concerns is estimated at more
than 100000, largely covered by in
surance.
The heavy loss of life is believed to
have been largely due to the fact that
the employees, believing that one Of
the frequent fire drills was being held,
were slow in leaving the building
Even when it became known that the
building was on fire, many returned
to the dressing rooms on the upper
floor for clothing and valuables,
The flames spread with lightning
like rapidity and the intensity Of the
heat prevented the firemen from get
ting within fighting range Of the
building until. rescue was impossible
Women and girls, too weak to go fur
ther. dropped exhausted on the single
fire escape in the rear of the building
and literally roasted to DEATH portions
of the bodies dropping into the street
Others jumped and were killed.
Half dozen Of the panic-stricken
girls rushed into the elevator which
was standing on the fourth floor, A
minute later all dropped to their
death.
Volunteer firemen employed in the
shops along the line Of the Erie rail-
road, who were in the city for their
annual tournament, aided the firemen.
In holiday clothes they assisted in run
ming lines of hose to the tops Of build
ings that we're threatened.
Reed B. Freeman president Of the
Binghampton Clothing company, estl-
mates there we're about 125 employees
in the building when the fire started
Eighty per cent of the girls employed
were Americans,
1T isn't money loss or the business
that overcomes me-" he said today
"but it is the thought Of those girls
some Of whom have been with US fol
years
"They perished because they beliey
ed the alarm was for fire drill, sew
eral Of which had been held recently
They disIiked these drills, which fore
ed them to appear in the streets il
their rough working clothes. So wher
the alarm sounded most Of them tool

the murder of Walter Irving. Charles
Warling. alias Charles Morgan. died
of heart failure at O'Clock last night

Morgan was shot and captured in

weeks after he had escaped from a

capped from the camp on June and
was involved in the killing of Irving
on the Walter Wechter ranch on
June I, 1t is alleged.
Apparently Morgan had fully re-
covered from the dangerous bullet
wound he received while resisting ar
rest in Denver last July and his
physical condition was believed to
warrant his being placed on trial. but

Denver. Jan 23.-ln the interest
of good roads throughout the state.
the good roads association meeting
held here this week adopted a reso-
luton asking the present legislature
to submit a constitutional amend
ment at the next state election pro-
viding for a one-mill levy to extend
over period of five years to be used
by the state highway commission in
Improving thoroughfares and build
ing new ones.
n similar measure went before the
people of the state at the Nov. > cleo
tion, At the instance of the highway
commission, but was defeated This
defeat has stirred the advocates of
the good roads proposition and 1t is
expected that renewed efforts will
finally succeed. Ii is generally ad-
mitted that the matter is of vital i'm
portance to the whole people of Col
orado and that the measure submit
ted at the late election should have
received heartier support-at least.
enough to secure the success of the
bill.
There are two of these road bills
pending in the egislature-one in
the senate and the other in the house
both of which. if passed, will ma
terially benefit the thoroughfares
throughout the state Both Senator
John j. Tobin of Montrose and
Speaker of the House Skinner, who
are deeply interested in the matter,
have promised the good roads peo-
pie that they will give all possible
encouragement to the final passage
of these two bills.
The belief is general in this gem
eral assembly that the time has ar
rived when beneficial legislation
along these lines should be passed.
The fact that the measure providing
for funds for road york was defeat
ed emphasizes the necessity that this
legislature take positive and definite
action to provide the money with
which to carry on the road work
throughout Colorado.
