SIX Perish IN

Lodging House Horror At

of Naphtha
RESCUE 40 BY
MEANS OF LADDERS
Rr The United Press.

BY The United Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. Six men were
killed and dozen firemen injured IN
spectacular fire, which destroyed
four-story lodging house at 1852 Eighth
avenue. early today. There we're 81
men packed in the lodging house
stalls when the fire broke out, and
forty of them were rescued by being
carried down ladders or swung across
to the roofs of adjoining buildings.
The cause of the fire has not been
definitely determined, but firemen bo-
lieve il may have been started by an
explosion of naphtha, as they learned
the proprietor of the house had been
cleaning beds with this product. The
blaze started in a back room, which
was quickly burned out The flames
then spread 10 the stairway, cutting
off the escape of those trapped in the
building.
Firemen rushed to the second and
third floors, and we're beating their
way through the flames when there
was a terrific explosion. Furniture
was blown out of the windows and a
dozen fire-fighters we're knocked
down, bruised and serious burned.
Three dodgers were found dead in
their beds on the fourth floor of the
building. Two were found on the
third and another near a window on
the same floor. The last named had
evidently been able to struggle to the
window through the smoke and flames
only to fall suffocated All six bodies
were so badly charred that identified
ton was impossible.
