wholesome recreation

Paterson, N. J.-Nineteen men lost
their lives at a fire which destroyed
the Paterson Salvation Army Rescue
Mission at AZ Mill street. Eighteen OF
the victims were burned to death be-
fore rescuers could reach them. The
other, one of the fourteen taken to
the hospital, succumbed to his injuries.
Many others we're badly injured, eth
er in the surging mass Of humanity
which. panic-stricken, stampeded
from the building, or by lsaping from
windows.
Six of the dead were identified at
the morgue, whittier their charred
bodies we're taken after the fire had
been extinguished. They we're: Hen
ry Bowling. Michael Grimes. Fred
Brennan. John Shell. Frank Costello
and william A. McNab. Most, IL not
all of the other victims. are believed
to have been burned beyond recogni
ton. Some of the bodies may never
be recovered. More than a score sus
tanned injuries OF a minor character
These were treated by ambulance sur
geons. OF those who leaped from the
windows Of the burning building 1a
were so badly hurt that their removal
to the hospital was imperative. Some
Of these, 1t was said. may not recover
The fire started among large stoc1
Of newspapers and magazines stored
in the rear of the building. It spread
rapidly to large pile Of kindline
wood In the yard nearby and licked
up the side Of the building, which
burned like tinder. There was some
confusion In sending in an alarm. The
first alarm was sent by telephone
That was quickly followed by the pull
ing Of several boxes at different points
The fremen were delayed several fatal
minutes In responding because Of the
uncertainty as to the exact location
OF the fire. When they arrived the
building was doomed. There were IS
men sleeping In the building when the
fire started.
Some we're old and some were Grip
pied. Few we're in the full vigor OF
manhood. as the rescue mission was
conducted as a haven for unfortunates
who possessed no home and but little
means of livelihood.
