Nine DIE IN FIRE
IN HOBOKEN HOTEL
List May Be Doubled in Blaze
That Destroyed Palace
Colonial.
MANY WOMEN RESCUED
Smoke and Flames Cut Off
Firemen From Upper Floors,
Where Victims Were.
MANY WOMEN RESCUED

Nine persons lost their lives and it
Is believed that the death list may be
increased to twice that number in a
fire that destroyed the Palace Colonial
Hotel. in Newark street, a block and a
half from the Lackawanna Railroad
station in Hoboken early this morn
ing.
At 2 O'clock flames still were sweeping
through the rear part Of the hotel, and
firemen believed that the rooms on the
second and third floors still contained
bodies. The blaze there was so intense
they had not been able to get into
any Of the rooms.
Besides those found dead at least four
persons were SO badly burned that after
they had been rescued from top floor
rooms they were hurried to hospitals,
where 1t was said their condition was
such that they may die. At least a
dozen others, many OF them women,
were found partly overcome in rooms on
the upper floors and were carried down
ladders and fire escapes to the street.
They We're for the most part without
anything but night clothes.
The fire is believed TO have started
from a cigarette butt In linen room.
Clerks said that when the flames were
discovered about forty persons were in
the five story brick building.
The fire spread with remarkable rapid
ity. 1t was not known who turned in
the first alarm. but the signal bell in the
box on corner nearby was still ringing
when the first apparatus reached the
scene from fire headquarters, two blocks
away.
At that time the entire building was in
flames and filed with smoke. Men and
women were hanging from windows and
threatening to drop into the streets as
the firemen began to raise their ladders
The Rev. Edward Kelly. Catholic
chaplain OF the Hoboken Fire, Depart
mcnt, arrived with the apparatus on the
second alarm and as soon as the fire
had been driven to the rear OF the
building entered at the head of search
ing party to look for injured and dying.
Firemen eaid the priest administered
the last rites of the church to persons
who were dying from burns and then
helped carry them to the street.
Adjoining the building Is that OF the
First National Bank of Hoboken. While
the blaze was at its height the police.
fearing an attempt might be made TO
rob the bank. placed guards at doors
and windows and posted others on the
roof.
Most OF the bodies were found on the
two upper floors. a man and woman
were found burned to death in one room.
and a woman's body was found on the
floor Of an adjoining room. Apparently
those who lost their lives were overcome
by smoke which swept quickly to one
upper floor. and then were cut off from
rescue by tho flames. which spread
through the second floor from the linen
room. making It impossible for the fire
men to make their way upstairs.
None of the victims had been identi-
ed early this morning.

RAIL HEADS PLAN
THREE LINES OF BATTLE
Publicity First Weapon in
LoWer Wage Fight.

Details of tho plan formulated by rail-
road executives In their fight for lower
wage scale for employees became known
yesterday. following the announcement
on Friday that the step had been decided
on. There Is to be a publicity campaign
In which II has been planned to take the
owners case straight 10 the people of
the country and show them in. detail the
straits In which the roads find them
selves because of Increased costs.
A second angle of the campaign will
be the fight 10 be waged before the
United states Railroad Labor Board,
which Is in session now In Chicago, and
the third will be an open war with or
ganized labor. These are the three main
lines along which the battle will be
fought.
The initial volley OF publicity Is ex-
pected tomorrow. Preparation for the
campaign on the other lines Is going
along smoothly. Members OF the labor
committee are arranging their campaign
In Chicago. having gathered from all
parts of the country evidence ranging
from disproportionate increase In pay
which some railroad workers have re-
ceived. to facts and figures which tend
to prove that the high cost OF living IL
beginning to decline. The decrease they
will claim should be accompanied by a
proportionate decrease all along the
line.
