1000 ROUTED BY
FIRE AT COLUMBIA
Gym Destroyed-Firemen
Have Narrow Escape
Scare at Barnard.

With Two thousand Columbia stu
dents. many Of them scantily attired
looking on, the gymnasium of Coium-
bia University was destroyed by fire
soon after | o'clock this morning
Four alarms were sent in before fire
men got the blaze under control
The priced rowing shells of the CO.
lumba crew were rescued from the
building by students.
An inside alarm. sounded by a
watchman, rang in every dormitory
at the university and brought stu
dents rushing into the streets from
every building. Thousands of other
persons gathered and the reserves
from three stations were summoned
to handle the crowd. The fire illu-
minated large section of Harlem
and was seen for miles.
The valuable Columbia library is op-
posite the gymnasium, on ll8th St. and
for a time sparks showercd on the roof
Of this structure. The Teachers Col
lege, Horace Mann School. Schermer-
horn Hail and Havcmeyer Hall, which
adioin the burned building. were also
threatened. There are no dormitories
in the immediate vicinity OF the gym
naSium.

been holding q smoker in Earl Hall. az

structure. and brought out the racing

great IRON campus gates locked. and
it was at least ten minutes before the
shrieking engines brought watchMcn
to xpcn these gates. Chief Adamson
who arrived on the scene later. attrib-
uted to this fact the great headway
gained by the flames.
The roof of the building fell shortly
after ! o'clock. several fremen who
were in the building having narrow
escapes. When the blaze was finally
got under control only the four walls
of the building remained standing.
The gymnasium building was two

campus, about 100 feet from Amster-

long and 100 feet wide. and contained
in addition to the handsome gym
nasium, the running track, crew
room, dining hall, editorial rooms Of
THE Spectator and other rooms and
departments.
The second floor of the building was
completely gutted, and the flames con-
sumed a large part Of the roof. The
damage on the first floor. on which tie
gymnasium itself is situated, was
caused mainly by water. Firemen were
handicapped by having to fight the
blaze from the outside. as the collapse
of the building. due to the heavy run
ming track, was expected momentarily.
The fire broke out on the second
floor. the origin being unknown. Po-

REGISTRATION HERE
LIGHT; | ARREST
Tammany Districts Make
Poor Showing, Despite
Leaders Efforts.

The first days registration in great
er New York this year was lighter than
last years. and this was particularly
true in many of Tammany's strong
holds in this city, where every effort
TO make big showing was put forth by
the Fourteenth Street leaders. In
Charles +. Murphy's own district, the
18th, the registration was the lightest
in years. excepting in 1911. an off year.
In Brooklyn. The Bronx, Queens and
Richmond the registration was lighter
than in the last mayoralty campaign,
and with the exception of The BronX
where an increase of less than 200 was
shown over 1912. the last state election,
tn eregistration was less than either of
the first days OF registration Of the last
two years.
In striking contrast with Mr.. Muir
phys district was the registration from
the 9Th, Manhattan, the district sof
Samuel 5. Koenig, the chairman Of the
Republican County Committee, which
rolled up a bigger registration than
any in years. The banner Republican
district of Manhattan, the 23d. led the
entire city. and beat its own record of
former years, with a registration Of
1915.
Republican leaders said last night
that the registration meant a light
vote in the city for Governor Glynn.
The total vote in the city. with three
election districts missing in Manhat-
tan. was lS5.479, slump Of about 5000
under last years first days registra-
tion. and more than 1000 less than
in the last state election.
The day passed quietly in the city,
little trouble being reported But one
arrest was made for violation Of the
election law. The arrest was made by
the complainant in the case. l.. Charles
Mazzola. Columbia student, who ac-
cuspG a Progressive district captain in
the Goth Assembly District with false
registration. Mazzola. who was one Of

BELGIAN WOUNDED
POUR into OSTEND
Trundled on HandbarrOWS
or Carried on Backs
of POrterS.

Osten. Oct. Wounded Belgian
soldiers and refugees are pouring into
Ostend by thousands. II was a terribly
pathetic sight At the Ostend railway
station, at o'clock this morning, when
a train arrived laden with wounded.
Many of the injured had been hit
by shell fire, and the majority had
received but scant medical attention.
Tac railway porters and several men,
bers of the Belgium Ladies' Ambulance
Corps lifted the stricken men from
the train. and handbarrows, generally
used for the conveyance of luggage,
were pressed into service for the
transport Of the wounded. Where the
supply Of these failed, the sufferers
were carried on the backs of the rail-
way porters.
The Belgian medical arrangements
appear 20 have broken down COM
plctely. this being due no doubt to the
enormous number OF casualties in mt
werp and elsewhere in the fighting
line.
One could not help admiring the
iortitude Ct these heroes OF the Ant
wcrp siege. In the midst Of much suf-
tering and personal discomfort they
waited long hours on the cold. drcary
platforms before being moved to somo
temporary hospital. NO word of com
plaint escaped their lips. Some of the
wounded had been without food or
water fer many hours. At Ostend food
was lacking.
A few Red Cross nurses, carrying
bags of hard biscuits. moved among
the lines OF recumbent figures. hand
mg piece to each man. Some could
scarcely eat the unpalatable biscuit.
All begged for water. and. after some
delay, a supply was forthcoming.
The less seriously wounded declared
That the German shell fire in par
ucular sections of the fortified en-
ocmte Of Antwerp had been terribly
severe.
