Fire which menaced the safety OF

swept the Department of Corrections

stroyed the chapel, which was located
on the second floor, and ruined the ex-

gan in the sacristy of the chapel. and
was probably due to defective electric
wiring.

Three girls Of Hunter College are in
danger of expulsion as a result Of their
refusal TO rise during the singing
Of The Star-Spangled Banner" last
Wednesday morning.
The girls, whose names are withheld
by the authorities, are understood TO
have defended their action on the
ground that they dislike any flag and
any government"
The wording is that of the bulletin
sent out last night by the Hunter Col
lege press board.
Two other girls who failed to rise
during the singing of the national song
have apologized, one saying that she

other that she really was standing. but
is so short that from the platform it
appeared that she was still sitting.

they were quartered until this morning.
The 500 men in the workhouse, which
adjoins the Administration Building

might spread TO their building, but
were not led outside.
Fifteen men prisoners, who form the
squad that cares for the docks. were
waiting at the pier opposite Seventy

fame appeared. Instead Of selling the
opportunity to make a dash for liberty,
they rushed in body 70 the burning
building.
On the third floor Of one OF the rear
