SIX MEN PERISH
IN HOTEL BLAZE
Burned to Death in Bed
Fire Starts in Movies
Many Daring ReScues.

Six men in the Waverly Hotel, Mt BOZ
Eighth av., were sufocated IN their
beds and burned yesterday morning
about o'clock, when flames swept
through the four story building IN less
than an hour. The bodies were found
after more than forty other men had
escaped death through the prompt ana
daring action Of fremen and police.
On the ground floor is a moving pct
ure theatre. The upper floors have a
capacity Of eighty-five, and sixty hve
had registered on Thursday night
About fifteen had left yesterday morn
ing before the fire was discovered m a
closet on the second floor, where clean
ing implements and materials were
stored. Peter Kelly, night Waterman,
gave the alarm, and Harry Manhood
night clerk, warned RS many dodgers "a
possible.
The flames spcrad with such rapdity
that many who had been warned OF
their danger barely escaped with their
lives. Witnesses said that only few
minutes after the fire was discovered
flames burst through the roof. Lieu
tenant Butler, of the Salvage Corps
was the first TO arrive. He AND his
men helped fifteen dodgers across 10
the roof Of the adjoining building.
Lieutenant Reed, of Hook and Lad
der 10, with Fremen Golden, Barry
and Bonner. the last named son OF
the former fire chief. mounted extern
sion ladders and brought down the
others. all except the few who were
able to get down the stairway before
that avenue Of safety was cut of by
smoke and flame. Rescuers and res
cued were in constant danger because
each window was a furnace, and even
the escapes threatened 20 become roast
ing ovens for the dodgers.
After the bodies had been brought
out Manhood identified five OF the six
They were John Hector. Lazarere Ter
williger, Bernard Lewis. Edward j
Lynn and man named Regain. Hector
was eighty-four years old. All were
taken TO the morgue.
Coroner Hcaly began an lnvestiga-
ton 10 see If the blaze had started
from infammable material stored neg
ligently in the building. Smoking was
not permitted. although the rule was
occasionally evaded. The owners said
no benzine had been used since Satur-
day. The damage was estimated at
$4,000
Fire Commissioner Adamson made
public last night a report submitted by
Joseph O. Hammitt, chief Of the Blu
reau OF Fire Prevention. Mr.. Ham
mitt found that the flames spread to
the upper floors by means OF an unin-
closed stairway, and added:
Orders TO provide within thirty
days an inclosure of fire retarding ma
terial around this stairway were issued
Oh May y. These orders, not beng
complied with. were sent TO the legal
division for enforcement on June %
Plans for the inclosure Of the stair
way were filed on August % and APP
proved on September -. Inspector
Wilson Of the legal division visited the
building yesterday and observed that
the work Of inclosing the stairway was
in progress If this order for the in
closure Of the stairway had been
promptly complied with there would
probably have been no loss Of life in
the fire.

Pier Pile His SepuIcher7

A weird explanation Of the disap'
pearance Of Q workman while the Gar
den pier at Atlantic City was in
course OF erection. more than year
ago. Ii given much credence. 1t was
believed that tho workman fell into
the surf and was drowned, but the
present rumor 10 to the effect that he
fell into a caisson in which monster
concrete piling was being nodded, and
is solidly imbedded in this piling.
Color Is lent to this theory by the fact
that no trace of the workman's body
has been discovered, and other work
men expressed doubt at that time
that he fell into the ocean.
One of the workmen stated that an
automatic Continuance discharged a
ton or more Of concrete into the Gals
son a moment after the workman fell,
as 1t was believed, into the surf It
is his theory that the mans body was
deluged with the concrete, and that
the piling was completed as grave
for the man.

Iennls Ball Hi the KING.

The presidents recsnt experience on
the golf course recalls an incident in
the apocryphal adventures of the late
King Edward. The scene was the ten,
mis- court at Homburg, where in the
course Of the big annual tournament
a match was being played between an
Austrian and an American, who shall
not here be named.
The king, in order TO get better
view of the play, moved his seat close
up to the sidelines. This interfered
with the American players game, and
nettled him considerably. So the first
time that he got chance to serve
from the opposite court he deliberate
ly sacrificed one ball. The wild serve
went straight to Its mark. When the
equsryfes and lords in waiting had re
vived the king they discreetly set his
chair we'll back of the sidelines
The American was not arrested fol

DOING AWAY WITH TETMUS
SO Deadly Really WIFI Readily
Yield to Treatment.

The loss Of life from tetanus, It
should be emphasized, is almost en-
trely preventable. Injection Of anti
toxin Immediately after the injury ts
received, together with relentless sur
gical cleansing Of the wound under
anesthesia, constitutes insurance
against tetanus in:virtuany every case.
The few recorded cases in which anti
toxin has failed to prevent tetanus
have been attributable usually to To-
cal infection which kept the tetanus
bacillus alive until the antitoxin was
eliminated or destroyed.
Hence thorough cleansing Of the In
9ured part should not be neglected. Il
the patient is not seen until the wound
ts several days old, antitoxin should be
given in large doses intravsnously, or,
If symptoms indicate impending tetan-
us, intraspinally. In any case. prompt
ness and thoroughness are the watch
words. - From the Journal OF
American Medical Association.

NEED FOB A DAY OF REST
Harvard Scientists Assert II 10 Neees-
sary TO Restore the Nervous
Tone.

The refreshing influence Of the
weekly day Of rest" on a person sub
dected to the strenuous routine OF o
busy life is feature which he himself
can duly appreciate in the effects on
his feelings" and Spirits" The Ell
cheney Oft working man, the length
OF the working day. the interjection Of
pauses for rest in the schedule Of la
Dor for persons Of different ages and
stations In life-Questions Of this sort
are constantly arising for solution on
a scientific basis. Not only In the
field Of manual labor, but also in the
case Of the school child, the office boy,
the factory girl, the banker, and the
merchant, efficiency is the keynote Of
the times. Fatigue is the enemy Of
efficiency; and to detect and compen-
safe for or overcome It Is the duty
of those concerned with the promo
ton of human welfare.
Harvard scientists have been maxi
ing careful study of the whole ques-
ton Of fatigue and efficiency from q
physiological standpoint. A long Sc
ries of experiments have been made
on first year medical students who
were following regular routine Of
school work during six days of each
week.
The routine was Interrupted week.
ly by the Sunday recess, an internal
occupied variously by the students, but
In no case in precisely the manner of
the week days. The daily observations
made of these persons during several
weeks show that at the beginning Of
the week the nerve reaction tends to
be high, that from then until the end
of the week there is fairly continuous
decline, and that following the inter
ruption of the routine by the inter
vention of Sunday, it returns to the
original high point.
The decline is interpreted Is q
cumulative result of general fatigue
Incident to routine. What Ia even
more significant, however, is the add
ed fact that pronounced break In
the routine-such as the day OF rest
occasions-may bring about a re-
turn of sensitiveness to a high point,
or, in other words, it restores the
nervous tone.
