some persons were thrown down and
trampled on.
Victims Laid on Sidewalk
AS fast as the unconscious victims
were removed from the tube they were
laid on the sidewalk, carried into
stores and offices and given first aid
by squads of firemen and surgeons.
So great was the demand upon the
forces of the city to aid
In the work of reviving the uncon-
Bcious that hurry calls were sent by
telephone to Brooklyn for aid from
the firemen there.
AS the fire began to cool long
streams of firemen, each carrying in
his arms an injured or unconscious
victim, entered the two stations. The
victims were placed in the open air
and the firemen went back for more.
Collisions Given as Cause
Unofficial reports gave the cause of
the fire as collision between express
trains. At the time of the fire the sub
way contained smoke from a previous
fire eXtinguished only a few minutes
before at the Spring street station.
1t was shortly before $50 o'clock
that wisps of smoke began to curl
from crater. Hose was directed
between the two stations. The spot
where the fire burned fiercest was op-
posite Fifty-siXth street. Hampered
in their efforts to reach the blaze the
iremen dug into the pavement with
their axes. They succeeded making a
hole above the subway at Fifty-third
street. From this opening belched a
volume of smoke and flames as If
from q orator. Hose was directed
through the opening and even hand
eXtinguiShers were used.
Ambulances on Scene
For ten blocks the streets were
lined with the ambulances that came
from all over the city. A Gordon
thrown around broadway by the po-
lice held in check tens of thousands
of spectators
Two hundred persons in all were
taken to the Polytechnic, the surgeon
said, but as far as he knew, with one
exception, none had been fatally in
jured.
