WOMAN AFRE ON LADDER
CARRIES BABE TO SAFETY
She Deseends From Fourth Floor Of
Tenement as Crowds Watch
Thrilling Spectacle.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA woman
wrapped in flames on a fireman's lad
der three stories above the sidewalk
furnished a thrill to crowds watch
ing a fire in a double-decked six.
story tenement house.
The heroine of the spectacle was
Mrs. Sarah Beckerman, a tenant OF
the fourth floor. She was asleep in
her apartment when the fire started
and did not discover her peril until
her escape by the stairway had beer
cut off. Then she fed to the fire es-
cape with her sixteen -months-oId
son, Irwin, in her arms.
A ladder was hoisted TO her and
without waiting for a fireman's as.
sistance, she started down. In front
of the third moor window her foot
got caught in the fire escape and be
fore she could get IL loose her klmo-
no became ignited and she was en-
veloped in flames. A fireman who
had just reached her threw his coal
around her and smothered the flames
but not until the woman had beer
severely burned about the face and
hands. The child escaped unhurt.
Mrs. Bcckerman was treated by Dr.
Agnew from the Harlem Hospital
and taken to the home of a neighbor
Members of twenty-five families
living in the house were routed &c
the street by the blaze. The frc
started in the apartment of Mrs. Ida
Schifr on the second floor and spread

With "A large part of the steamins
equipment out of commission the ship

Mrs. Ebert II. Gary. wife of Judge
Gary, of the United States Steel Cor
poration, had a word for the father:
Let the police find the man. Tile
social outrage isn't that. mothers
deny their own children. but that
fathers car bear so lightly their
power of parenthood. ..l
"Hc should be found and forced to
pay tho expenses Of his child's birth,
forced 70 provide for it and his wife s
care. or go TO jail for a good, sub
stantial term.
Mrs. j. Gilmore Drayton, who has
given much care and attention to the
babies of the. "All Day Center" at
Greenwich House. said:
1t is a hard thing to tell a mother
in such distressing circumsta noes
where her duty lies. I think IL would
be hard for the mother herself to de
termine. But II there is any way OF
keeping the baby and giving it the
wholesome food and environment II
needs, she should do so.
Urges Police Find Father.
And Mrs. William Einstein. Ho;e'
Netherlands prominent civic leader,
added:
II don't like the idea OF a mother
disposing of her child before it Is
born. Surely there is a refuge for
every prospective mother until the
child is born. and she has reGsinsd
her strength. Everyone's sympathy
goes out to her.
Meantime the police should be go
ing after the deserting husband with
all their power. Such a father as
this should be hunted as the black
est criminal is hunted and the police
should regard IL as quite an equal
honor in bringing him to justice.
He should bear the responsibility
and expense of the child for which
he alone can. be held accountable.
And if he won't do il he should be
locked up.
DR.. Katherine E. Davis. former
commissioner of correction, believes
that such cases call for the most
thorough and intelligent considera-
ton. She said:
Both sides, every side, should be
studied, and the responsibility should
go where it best can be borne. No
case like this should be treated or
considered carelessly."

The mother-to.be Mrs. Katherine
Helms. is but a girl of eighteen, well
born, a music student and poor. Her
story is the usual one Of desertion
and distress. But coming so soon
after the advertisement by the San

her unborn child, 1t caused "a protest
from prominent mothers and other
women of this city yesterday.

or course, any mothers heart will be

Is a sad commentary upon the youth
of today, crowded as 1t Is with op-

social and marital responsibilities SIT

"Ciyic authorities should recognize
II as a profound duty to find the man
who would so easily slip off the re-
sponsibility OF parentnood. They
should bring him back and force him
to support his child.
Such stories appear In the news

PSYCHOLOGICAL effect is immeasurable.

An Indian Santa.

The jolly Old Saint Nick of white
children did not visit the Indian reser-
walton in central New York this year.
In his stead there was real Indian
Santa with a headgear of feathers and
other garments worn by Indians when
Santa first came to America. He was
trimmed with corn tassels and in place
of a whip, which to the Indian children
means cruelty, he carried corn stalk
to drive his team.
None of the little red babies on the
bleak reservation were forgotten. He
left them arrows, snow snakes, corn
bread stuffed with fruit, cookies
shaped like pine trees and chipmunks
and a kind of sausage made from the
livers of wild animals. Honey made
up for the lack of sugar. Syracuse
churches, the Indian Welfare Society
and other allied organizations were
active in preparing this Christmas.
