 By Fatal Blaze
Flames Start In Sub Cellar and Spread Upward Through Dumb Waiter Shaft - Sleepers W ere Trapped On Third, Fourth and Fifth Floors.

New York, Dec. Five persons were burned to death early today in fire that wrecked a five-story apart ment house in West F'ifty-seventh St.. just off Fifth Avenue.
 More than 100 families living in nearby apartments and houses were driven into the street by the blaze.
 The first of the dead identified was Miss Marjorie Lescomb, 20, film &C., tress.
 Mrs. Roswell Reid, concert singer, IS missing and may be one of the dead. ~--
 Further identifcations showed that these persons lost their lives in the fire.
 ~ Mrs. G. Boswell Reid a concert singer from California.
 Mrs Reid's sister who has been wis iting her but whose name could not be learned.
 Dr. F. M. Potter attached to the staff of the Hippodrome theatre.
 The fire started in q sub~cellar and spread upward through a dumb waiter shaft trapping the fire victims on the third, fourth and fifth floors. The bodies wereb adly charred.
 The blaze was discovered by Miss Annette Bracy, g, who lived in the lIllIu uOoF. AS soon as she Sneued smoke she hurled book through a window of her bedroom and screamed for help This aroused a family in an adjoining apartment house, who sum- moned the fire department.
 Bremen said Miss Bracys action probably saved g number of lives. Mrs. Irwin Coyle, summoned by Miss Bracy, aided in arousing a number of sleeping tenants, until both Mrs. Coyle and Miss Bracy were forced from the building by the intense heat.
 Later it was learned the unidentified fire victim was a young woman who had spent the night. with Miss Les comb. It is believed Miss Lescomb lost her life either in trying to save her companion, or some va1uab1es, for she was one of the persons awak- ened by Miss Bracy. She was near safety when she dashed back into her room, where firemen later found the body of her friend. Miss Lescomb was suffocated only a few feet from the exit where many escaped.
 John Grossberg, a broker, hung for half an hour on a narrow window ledge from which he was rescued by firemen.
 Two British army officers, Captain H. Ross Martin and Captain William l.. Hayes, escaped by pIunging through the flames with blankets over their heads.
