campaign being. waged by the people
of Baltimore for reopening of the

Each member of the House and Sen

The letter shows reasons why Rich

"The state Of Alabama, with its

Pennsylvania in those interests.
"The northern half of West Vir-
ginia, the District of Columbia, and
i Maryland might, we believe, with
benefit in the general interest, be in
cludel in the zone to be served by q
branch bank in Baltimore, since the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ties that

"About S3,OOO,OOO in capital and So,
100000 in deposits would be added tc

"The banks in the entire zone map

ONE INNATE MISSING.
Person Who Gave Alarm Failed to
Pull Hook-Loss Placed at One
Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Boston, Mass, April 14.-Seven per-
sons met death and another is missing
as the result of savage fire which
ragged through the fashionable Hotel
Melvin in Allston early today and
trapped the inmates almost in their
beds The flames surged up through
the thirty kitchenette apartments
with inconceivable rapidity and NEove
others to small balconies, whence fear
forcei them to leap to death or in
jury on the pavement below.
The dead:
Bemis, Mrs. E. G.
Beharrell, Mrs. F. c., sister of Mrs.
Bemis.
Power, ]. RaNasond, wife and two
year-old son.
Shackford, Mrs. Alice.
Another unidentified woman.
The missing-Irene Hazel.
The injured: Mrs. Robert Adams, c.
w. Rogers, Minnie E. Reed.
The fire was one of the most spec
i tacular in the history of Boston apart
ment house horrors. The flames
spread so rapidly that none of the in
mates hail time to remove any of
their possessions or even to warn the
others.
Many leaping from bed at the crack
! ing of flames and the rush of smoke,
ran panic-stricken to the stairs, only
to find them hopelessly blockei.
Horr:fied spectators on the outside
could see men and women screaming
| piteously for help from the balconies,
their figures silhoueted against the
surging flames behind.
In the midst of the general horror,
! a rope of sheets was thrown out Of the
fourth story window and 4 woman's
form was seen to trust itself to it.
Hand by hand she let herself down
to safety, falling unconscious at the
bottom. 1t was Mrs. Robert A:hms.
! Then Mrs. E.;ith Bemis endeavored
to follow. She lost her hold when
only just started and fell to the pave
ment below, turning over in her fall
and crushing her skull. Many others
jumped or were rescued by firemen.
Not for two hours were the firemcn
able to force their way into the fur
mace like building. Then on the fifth
floor were found the bodies of a
man, woman and child charred almost
beyond recognition, but finally llen-
ttifed as J. Raymond Power and
family. Three more bodies, Mrs. Be-
| harrell, Mrs. Shackford AMI an Uni
dertiied woman, were found on the
fourth floor and lowered to the street.
/ The loss of life would have been
small, it is thought, but for the over
sight of a person who went to ring
lin. the alarm This person opened
the door of the box, but neglected
to pull down the hook. The mistake
was discovered ten minutes after
ward, and second call sent in.
The damage is estimated at $780,
