FOUR AGED INMATES DIE AS FIRE RAZES
 HOME IN. CAMBRIDGE

Daniels was too feeble to leave his bed when the fire spread to the mems division, and was overcome by smoke. He was carried out before the flames reached him but died on the way to a hospital. Mrs, Green1eaf> also was unable to get up and was burned be- fore rescuers reached her.
 In one large room were -16 bed-rid- den women. All were carried out uT1- injured. A woman with 8 baby born a week ago was among those saved
 A more disastrous spread of the flames probably was averted by the coolness of the watchrnan, James Hagan, who discovered the blaze.
 After giving the alarm he rushed back to the basement and kept a stream fro mtne emergency hose playing on the fire until the firemen arrived. Hagan said he was at a loss to tell how the fire started.
 There wasn't a thing in the meat room to my knowledge" he said, s'that would have made a fire. There was g gas jet but it was not lighted and the gas cock was not open"
 The more able bodied among the inmates worked hard to assist thei1 unfortunate companions into the open The stairways was not reached ;ny the flames but the occupants of some ot the rooms could not reach them and were helped down fire escapes and ladders. Many more helpless were carried out.

The. Stock Market


 New York, Dec. Opening Hrmer tendency noted at the eoncIu- sion Of last weeks operatfons in the stock market was continued today, some of the leading issues adding to their recoveries of that period. Most significant among these was United States Steel. Bethlehem Steel rosp two points to it's best price for the movement, while Union Pacific, Read ing. Erie, Canadian Pacific, 'AmaIgR- mated, Smelting and Northern Pacific were up from one to two points. Brooklyn Transit was the only active stock to lag behind. Trading in the first half hour, while much below nor nal, was far in excess of last satur- day.
 Noon-Fur4aaer Improvement and greater activity were recorded with the progress of the early session, Steel going to 4sN with gains of h to 3 points oyer last Saturday in other irn- portant shares The demand, accord ing to popular belief, came from other sources besides the short interest, the theory being prevalent that the mark ct had been oveesold mainly because of the foreign situation. Brokers with European affiliations were re- ported as moderate buyers of the tn- ternationaI list.

:, Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 28-Four persons are dead and one is believed to be near death today as the result of fire which burned the ttree-story Cambridge City home last night.
 The dead: Mrs. Mary Dunn, 75; Mrs. Eliza Green1eaf, 84; Mrs. - Schultz, 68; Thomas Daniels, S4.
 Unconscious and believed to be dy- ing at a hospital: Mrs. Theresa Forbes, 65 years old.
 Many others among the 238 in mates, mostly aged men and fomen, suffered severely from fright and ex- posture and several were partly over come by smoke. Police, hremen and nurses assisted them down stairways, fire escapes and ladders and while the building was burning they were cared for by nearby residents.
 Later. the majority of the inmates were taken to two city hospital build ipgs and provided with mattresses.
 The theory that the fire starter from spontaneous combustion in a paint room was upset today when an investigation proved that the point of origin was at some distance from this room, in a. meat storage compartment in the basement.
 The three women who were killed were in two small rooms. Two of them were burned in their beds. The third managed to reach the window where she was caught in the flames.

Journalists Pale But "Chic."

Paris, Dec. 2S-The authorities re- gently allowed several groups of neu- traI newspaper men to go to the front and these men have since written stories giving their impressions of what they saw. An artilleryman at the front has now written a letter giv- ing the soldiers impressions of the newspAper men. He says:
 We received a visit from the jour nalfsts under the guidance of staff officer. I assure you they were none too comfortable. They kept their countenances because they were num- erous, believe, but all of them were very pale and one bled at the nose. Most of them stopped their ears with both hands as an officer was explain ing the gun firing. But they were very chic" They gave us lots of cigarettes, newspapers and biscuits
