DESTROYED
Two Men and Three Women Known to Have Lost
Lives in Ottawa and Others Are Missing Libra

Theory Rejected by Police

women and three men are known to
have perished in n fire which swept
through the central portion of Can
ada S magnificent parliament building
last night, destroying the chambers of
commons and senate. Several others
are reported missing and it is feared
they are buried in the ruins.
All night long fremen, police and
soldiers fought to save the $6,000,000
structure, which was considered one of
the finest examples Of Gothic archi-
lecture on this continent.
They were successful in saving the
beautiful library building and east and
west wings of the main edifce.
Immediately after the fire started a
report spread that it was caused by
the explosion of an i1cendiary bomb,
The. fire started in the reading room of
the house of commons and several per
sons who were present at the time, in
cmding Mayor Medrie Martin of Mon
treal, asserted that it was preceded by
an explosion which knocked down sew
eral persons.
The bomb theory was, however, re-
jected today by Col. Sherwood, COM
missioner of the dominion police, who
insisted that the confagration was ac-
cidental.
The two women who lost their lives
are Madam Bray, wife of H. a. Bray
of Quebec, and Madam NORM, wife OF
Louis Norm Of Beauce, Quebec. The
men whose bodies are still buried il
debris are Alphonse de Jardins, Do
minion policeman, and Alphonse d.
