FIRE AT FACTORY
Damage to Schick Mattress
Concern at Noon.
Blaze Confined to Excelsior
Machinery Room.

Fire was discovered in the rear
rooms of the William Schick Mattress
Factory at a few minutes past II
o'clock today just after the departure
of the employees for the dinner hour.
The damage was confined to the rear
part of the factory where the excelsior
machinery is situated and where some
cotton was stored.
Smoke pouring from rear windows
was the first indication of the blaze
the brief interval before the arrival of
the fire department. A general alarm
called out the main force of the de-
partment and the blaze was soon un-
der control, the firemen combining it
to the back rooms of the factory.
Much concern over the possible ex-
tent of the fire was evident on account
of the inflammable character of the
materials stored around the plant, but
the fire-proof construction of the
building helped with the fires con-
troll.
1t was stated today that the work
of the factory would probably be de-
layed for few days and perhaps
longer if the injury to machinery
proves extensive.
William Wenthe an employee of the
William Schick company, narrowly es-
capped burning to death today. He
rushed into the back room where the
fire broke out, and while there some
one shut the fire door in an effort to
prevent the spread of the flames, thus
locking Wenthe into the room where
the flames were playing and the
smoke was SUffOcating. Wenthe, by
the use of considerable lung power,
attracted the attention of those in the
building and he was released from his
captivity. a much smoked individual.
April 80, 1913, a fire in the Schick
plant caused a loss of $4,000. The
loss sustained today probably is some
