 Mrs. Tag and fireman were the only two injured. Statements issued by Fire Marshal Brophy, Deputy Chief Lally and the police all agree that the fire was caused by defective insulation of electric wires recently laid between the partition of the main hall and front drawing room.
 The charred remains of the six bod ies were found by the firemen three hours after the discovery of the fire. when the flames had been subdueG. The bodies were found lying ill the re- spective rooms of the victims. All were lying in attitudes that showed they ha , been struggling to escape as they were overcome.

6 PERISH IN SEASHORE BLAZE
Flames Wipe Out Hotel Overbrook at
 Atlantic City.

Atlantic City.
 A toll of at least six lives, long list of injured. $1,5OO,OOO loss and series of thrilling rescues marked the worst fire that has ravaged Atlantic City in years. For four and a half hours flames ragged through the Hotel Overbrook at Mount Vernon and Pa cifc avenues and near by buildings dealing death and misery.
 Once through a great cloud of smoke that belched out at the Overbrook a human chain made up of three men was seen dangling from an upper win dow. It is reported that these living links tumbled into the flames and per ished. Many persons were unaccount- ed for, and it is feared that some of these may be added to the death list
 That the list of dead and injured was not greater is doubtless due to the eff forts of Miss Katherine Stokes, aged twenty-two, a Bell telephone operator Out of the exchange window across from the hotel she saw smoke curling from window. Immediately she ran to the switchboard and sounded a gen eral fire alarm.
 Many were rescued by the firemen and carried down ladders. Soon the blaze shot upward to the higher floors. and the entire structure was doomed. Flames spread to the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, wrecked its interior. devoured two nearby houses and slightly damaged the Fredonia hotel.
