40 PEOPLE DIE in
WRECKED TENEMENT

GContinucd From First Pagel
Al. johnson, the fourth to be taken
from the ruins. The dogs forepaws
rested on Johnsons chest. He was
hauled to the top of the heap with
ropes, uninjured, and his master after
him.
Seven Investigations
Seven different Investigations were
begun by various city and county de-
partments. Morris Feldman, the
janitor, was sent for to confirm his
story to the police. He told the lat
ter that on various occasions COM
plant of the odor of gas was made TO
the gas company, and that repairmen
sent out wrapped the leaks with
pieces of tape. One who came out
Yesterday he said, said that he could
not handle the job alone and Field
man said he went away without do
ing anything.
Heard For Miles
The explosion was heard for miles,
by some freak of the shock buildings
n few yards away were unchanged
while windows were broken many
blocks further distant. Hundreds of
Hebrew, Lithuanian. Polish and Rus
sian tenants of the district, rushed
into the street scantily clad.
The explosion wrecked one end of
the tenement building which contained
twenty-four flats, sixteen of which
were occupied. The flames burst
throughout the lower story imme-
diately. When firemen arrived they
were able to rescue a few children who
were dropped by their parents from
the upper windows.
Dropped From Windows
Some adults also were saved in this
way. A group of railroad switchmen
fTho happened on the scene in advance
of the firemen were reported to have
rescued fifteen children.
At daybreak Fire Chief O'Connor
said the ruins were so hot that it
would be many hours before search of
the wreckage could be made and the
loss of life ascertained.
The explosion is believed to have
followed the bursting of gas main
in the basement of the tenement
house.
Water Freezes as IL Falls
The water thrown on the ruins
froZe almost as fast as it fell. The
gas continued to burn long after the
infiammable material of the building
had been consumed, lighting up the
ice-covered objects in weird fashion.
Many whose homes were in no dan
ger from the flames or who heard the
explosions carried their household
goods into the street. Pavements and

Nearly Four-Fifths of This

of General Haig
HUNDREDS GIVE UP LIVES
American TommieS Writing
Bright Pages in English
History

With the British Armies in France.
Feb. l, via London, Feb. (from a
staff correspondent of the Associated
Press) Nearly fifty thousand Ameri-
cans are estimated b. be fighting for
the Allies and inquiry shows that
nearly four-fifths of these are in the
khaki-clad British army commanded
by Field Marshal Haig. 1t is COM
puted that the actual fighting force of
Americans now in France under the
Union Jack is probably larger than
the United States army which was
actually engaged in hostilities in the
brief campaign of the Spanish Ameri-
can War.
Hundreds Have Fallen
Hundreds of Americans have given
their lives for the cause of the Allies
and hundreds Of others bear perma-
nent scars of the shock of battle, but
each new battalion and each group of
reinforcements arriving from overseas
brings numbers of their fellow coun-
trymen to take their places. All have
fought with pluck and determination
which have won them universal re-
spect and admiration. Although not
so much has been written about the
Americans serving in the British ranks
as in regard to their brothers in the
French army. British army traditions
seldom countenance the same enthusi-
aStic eXpositions of individual deeds of
heroism and daring as are included
loften in the French and German of
fetal reports. But the American
Tommies have helped to write some
bright pages in the history-of the war
in all branches of the services--the
flying corps. the medical corps, the
artillery and infantry.
The Canadian regiments naturally
attracted the greatest number of
Americans, many of the recruits living
in the Dominion when the war broke
out.
Many former members of the United
states army and of the cra@k national
guard regiments answer to the British
rollcalls, but all have had to learn the
new art of modern war and will be
graduated as among the best trained
soldiers in the world.

Law Is Clear on Liquor
ConfiSCation, Says Magen\

If Sheriff Clark's proposed plan to
turn over the large quantity Of con-
traband whisky, alcohol and wine
seized at the Anton Larson dairy
farm, Sixtieth and Center streets,
last Wednesday, to the county hos
pital. providing the court orders it de-
stroyed, were carried out, the insti-
tuition would have enough booze for
medicinal purposes to last nine years.
The county bought enough liquor
for the hospital last April to meet
the institutions needs for the next
three years, according to figures Of
County Auditor Antilles. Five gallons
a month are used at the hospital.
Legal barriers, will prevent the
sheriff from turning the contraband
liquor over to the hospital, according
to County Attorney Magney. Sheriff
Clark said he favored such plan if
it is within the law"
81 don't believe it is" said the
county attorney. at would be new
point coming up, but don't see how
the liquor could be turned over to the
county hospital if the court holds it is
contraband and orders it destroyed,
Booze is booze and pigs is pigs. I'm
der the prohibition law the hospital,
in my opinion, will have to ct its
liquor through the proper channels.

Palmer Tells Lawyers Way
To Aid State Legislators

]. p. Palmer, addressing the
Omaha Bar association at the COM
mercial club last evening. suggested
way to facilitate the work of the
state legislature.
"In drawing bills, he said, Men
will often write them out in full when
they could effect the same purpose
by taking a statute already on the
books and simply add or strike out
line.
THE legislature that has just end
ed was composed of well-meaning
men, the large majority OF them
honest"
The question of inserting profess
sional cards in the local newspapers
was brought up and was voted down
unanimously as unethical.
The late Timothy J. Mahoney was
eulogized by T. J. Nolan, who also
read a resolution upon his death. AN
other resolution Of praise for the
members of the local bar, who have
been called or enlisted in the nations
fighting forces was adopted. Elmer
E. Thomas explained the prohibition
legislation passed by the legislature.
