on the committee on emergency
measures IN mining. Moore, who
had a room on the second floor,
says he was awakened by the fire
gong. Slipping into his underwear
and shoes he grabbed his other
clothes and rushed for the street.
On the curb amid the confusion and
clamor, he completed mis- dressing.
Deputy Fire Chief w. P. Nichol-
son of No. II station on Eighth
street. between f and d, was the
first on the scene and had charge
of both fire fighting and rescue
work throughout the night. He has
nothing but praise for his men.
Truck Crews Aid Rescue. o
Immediately when he arrived. he
says. he sent in the third alarm
bringing out eight more engine COM
panies. the fire tower and ten trucks.
Later came the fourth and fifth
alarms. The four engine companies
that came on the first alarm he
told off to fight flames. the four
truck crews to getting out the swarms
of half-clad and excited guests. AS
fast as they appeared in the halls
the firemen rushed the bewildered
men and women to the stairs ana
out into the street. Greater difi-
Guilty was experienced with the peo-
pie who hung out of windows and
shouted for help to keep them from
jumping.
Chief Nicholson says he re-
fused to call his men out of the
building until he was assured by
the night clerk of the hotel that
all the occupants were accounted FOR.
Several losses of property taken
or mislaid during the fire have been
reported. John Moore says that an
unopened package OF fresh laundry
disappeared from his room. and Mrs.
Scudder has missed a string OF pearls
In the later stages OF the fire two
men volunteered to look for Miss
Dean and also rescue Mrs. Scudder's
savings. which she described as
sewed inside of corset laid away
in the top bureau drawer. Most Of
her clothes and the corsets were
safely returned.

ground floor OF the National Hotel

the transportation centers of Tur-
kestan.
The only help SO far reported as
being extended to these people is
that given by Persia which is CIV
Ing homes to 1000 German colo
nists at Baku and is sending $4,000
pounds of grain to Turkestan. The
Turkestan crops were good. but the
refugees, who sold all their per-
sonal effects and even much of their
clothing are not able to buy any
thing.
Estimates as to the number need
ing aid are most uncertain. The
original population of the famine
area from Kazan to Astrakhsn was
2O,eOO,000. At least so per cent OF
this number are suffering from lack
OF food and half of the others will
need help before the winter is over.
Twenty-Five million suffer.
American Investigators have placed
the total number of famine sufferers
at as high as $4,000. 900, which num-
Der is believed to be approximately
correct.
Three kinds OF relief are neces-
sary-food. medicine and clothes.
Hospital reports from Astrakhan
northward indicate the lack OF
medicines, such as quinine, 'aspirin
and castor oil, has resulted in as
many deaths as the famine has
caused. The Astrakhan medical
chief has 500 grams of quinine Tor
100000 people. In the hospital
as in all the others. there were no
other medicines. antiseptics. anaes-
thetics or bandages.
l visited several hospitals, where
/ learned the mortality rate among
typhoid. cholera and other patients
was more than so per cent, owing to
the lack of resistance on the part
of the sick. Oriental malaria is
carrying of victims in eight hours
As the cold weather comes on II
will be replaced by typhus and
pneumonia.
Until the people who went south
to buy food return the extent OF the
famine area in the Kuban. Caucasus
Astrakhan and Turkestan is incal-
culable, but the figures so far show
that of 100000 German colonists
less than 100000 are remaining.

my trip l encountered several thou

were listlessly lying in churchyards
and filthy compounds. too weak to
moan. dying from hunger, cholera
and other diseases at the rate of 9

Await Death on Docks.
This spectacle Of living skeletons
packed together so closely they
were almost piled on one another of
humans wrapped in dirty gunny-
sacks. of scrawny hands reaching
for bread, of naked babies. and OF

grisly comedy OF cootie hunting,

was well under control.
Denies Lack of Water.
Commissioner Oyster declared last
night he was well pleased with the
work of the men, and declared their
showing convinced him their rat

in the country was well placed. He
said he would make no investiga-

reports that water. pressure delayed
the firemen. The water department

pressure, Chief Watson said.
Some Thefts Reported.
Most of the refugees were housed
last night. Several reports of thefts
were received by police, but rigid
patrol maintained about the build
