100000 HOSPITAL FIRE
(ccntinued from Page One)

He Immediately rang in the private
alarm of the State hospital, box 46,
that being at o'clock, and at $40 P.
NJ the general alarm was rung In. The
firemen at the State hospital were the
first to arrive on the scene and shortly
afterwards the city fire department
came to their aid with all the equipage
except the steamer. The blaze which
was on the third floor of the building
was especially difficult to fight but the
fire department deserves great praise
for the manner in which they handled
the situation.
DR.. Tyson stated at 1880, shortly
before: the "all out" was sounded, that
all of the patients, 146 in all, had been
accounted for and nicely placed in new
quarters.
The superintendent was greatly
pleased by the work Of the attendants
and nurses in saving their patients
under dangerous conditions. He stat
ed that the departments in the build
ing were constituted as follows:
| First f1oor-Men patients in the sick
ward, SO in number.
! Second floor-Fifty-eigh men pa
TENTS
Third foor-Forty- nine women pa
tents.
1t was due to the efficient work Of the
fremen. the volunteers and the nurses
| that not life was lost. Some Of the
men received bad burns and cuts, how
ever, in fighting the blaze, among them
being maSeul Holway, bookkeeper at the
State hospital who was badly burned
on the head and knees: Chief Engineer
Charles G. Hunt Of the fire department.
whose hands and knees were burned;
and Fred Burke and Fred Turner Of the
| fire department.
Charles Kinsman was one Of the most
daring of the rescuers, carrying several
of the patients to safety from the
flames.
Governor Present
| Governor Carl E. Milliken made a
special visit to the superintendent, DR..
Tyson, to offer any assistance possible
from the administration. After con-
! sultation it was decided to draw 100
cot beds and necessary blankets and
other supplies from the State military
storehouse.
! A meeting of the board of trustees
will be held this morning, and it is I'M
derstood that some of the patients will
! be transferred to the Bangor institu-
| ton.
| Governor Milliken, following the
control of the fire and caring for the
patients, said, The efficiency shown
! by the hospital employees and their as
isistants was remarkable and cannot be
, too highly commended" The Governor
believed the quick and daring work by
the rescuers saved many lives. His EX-
cellency's interest and aid, needless to
say, were much appreciated by the
hospital officers, who found his counsel
most valuable during the trying mo-
ments and transfer of the unfortunatcs.
The cause of the fire was thought TO be
spontaneous combustion in the baggage
room on the third floor of the building.
But without regard to the manner III
which it started, it is certain that it soon
spread to other parts of the building AMI
in a short time the flames were seen
bursting forth along almost the entire
length of the roof of the building. The
Harlow building is built of brick but the
interior was notfhreproof

Situation Unchanged

The sinking Of the Healdton adds an
other grave chapter to the story of war
waged against American shipping by
Germany to be laid before Congress by
the President at the special session he
has called for April 2. 1t can cause no
Immediate change in the situation. Since
the destruction Of three American ships
last Saturday and Sunday, administra-
ton officials have considered that a state
Of war existed and it is due to this situa-
ton that Congress has been called to au-
thorize steps beyond the arming of mer-
chantmen. The Healdton was unarmeo,
having left port before the President au-
thorized the navy to furnish guns and
sunners to mercha ntmen. Her fate serves
to heghten the profound interest with
which the government and public awaits
the time when an American vessel pre-
pared and ready to send shell INTO
hostile submarine on sight will enter the
war zone.
