The Men And Girls Have No
Chance To Escape.

New York.-Thirteen men and girls
lost their lives in fire that destroyed
an old four-story brick and wooden
factory building in the Williamsburg
section Of Brooklyn A search of the
ruins is expected to uncover the
bodies OF II other victims, eight Of
them girls. who were reported as Miss
ing. OF the 40 injured in hospitals
many were expected to die, and score
more were less seriously burned and
bruised.
The building was occupied by a
candy manufacturing concern and
three firms manufacturing clothing,
whose employees normally totaled 300
but more than a third had been dis.
missed before the fire started for a
Saturday half holiday.
Owners Arrested.
After a preliminary investigation by
the authorities, Mrs. Edward L. Dia-
mond, owner Of the building, and her
husband were arrested on a charge of
criminal negligence and remanded to
fail without bail. Mr.. Diamond said
he was in the building at the time OF
the fire. but claimed ignorance as to
the cause
Four separate investigations are
under way in an effort to fix the re-
sponsibility for the loss Of life Thesa

ment.
Main Stairway Blocked.
The flames were discovered shortly
before o'clock by a girl employe OF
the candy factory, which occupied the
ground floor and basement, and were
soon roaring up the elevator shaft,
around which wound the principal
stairway.
There was one other stairway in the
rear Of the building, and some Of the
entrapped persons escaped by that,
but before the firemen arrived men
and women were leaping from the
windows The flames had swiftly
mushroomed from the elevator shaft
into the fourth floor, and scarcely had
the first streams Of water entered the
building when-the roof collapsed. The
other floors soon after fell one by one.
The disaster was the worst factory
fire in New York since the plant Of the
Triangle Waist Company was burned
out several years ago with loss Of
14S lives.
But One Fire-Eseape.
The flames spread so rapidly that
escape for most of the employees In
the building by stairs and elevator
was impossible. The only fre-escape
became jammed The flames drove
the frightened men and women to the
windows and forced them to jump. OF
the. bodies recovered from the ruins,
six were taken from the ire-escape
and four were found hanging out Of
windows charred beyond recognition
Several Of these were girls, burned TO
death in the sight OF a great crowd Of
helpless spectators.

For 16 days with their three, five,
six and ten-inch guns the Germans
had been blazing away on this front.
They never found on this line larger
number of men than those $50 brave
fellows before our eyes, but they had
not yet succeeded in preventing the
Serbians from seeing the blue line
of their Danube when they raised their

TAX COMMISSION IS
NOT OUT OF BUSINESS

The recent decision of the Honor
able Charles A. Pollock, Judge Of the
Third Judicial District, declaring that
that portion of the statute comforting
plenary powers of review over local
taxing officials and boards upon the
State Tax Commission unconstitution-
al, has been generally misunderstood.
While this decision hampers the COM
mission it does not materially cripple
it. The case will be appealed to the
supreme court and we believe that it
will be reversed or materially modi-
fed.
In any event, the only result will be
that we will have to control in local
tax matters by re-assessment rather
than by review. Heretofore, we have
employed both methods. In some in
stances we have simply reviewed the
work of local boards and assessors and
in others where gross injustice had

BOY RUNS INTO AUTOMOBILE.

A thorough investigation into the
jitneymobile accident last Saturday
night, when James II. Vinson, IL
years old sustained a broken leg, has
been made by Sergeant Anderson, in
command of the Eighth Precinct,
who learned that Young Wilson, on
an errand, was on roller skates hang
ing on to a street car going up Teche
street. After passing Opelousas
avenue, the boy let go his hold and
proceeded across the street, and in
doing so he came into contact with
the fender of the jitneymobile, which
was moving slowly in the opposite d.
rection.
There were six passengers in the
jitney, one of whom, Harold Thorn
as, of 3O7 Diana street, got out of
the machine and helped Vinson in
and he was Immediately taken to
the home of DIR. ]. E. Pollock, who
advised his removal to the Touro in
Urinary, where the boy was con-
veyed by Philip Cafero. The jitney
belonged to the West Side Transit
I Company and was in charge of Will
liam Henley, II years old, as chauf-
feur.

NEW STREET BETWEEN ALGIERS
AND GRETNA.

Street Commissioner John McCabe
of Gretna is planning to build mod
ell roadway in the LIST ward from the
Algiers line, and expects to start work
shortly. Pyrites cinders will be used.
Commissioner McCabe will endeavor
to arrange for a watering cart after
the road is completed, with which
the dust will be allayed, so that there
will be no grounds for complaints
such as are heard now regarding the
disagreeable conditions resulting
from the high winds.
With an improved roadway, the jit-
ney service now operating in Algiers
will doubtless be extended to Gretna,
which If operated during the night
hours, will be of particular advantage
to those having business out after the
street cars stop running, especially
railroad men of McDonoghville.
