FIRE KILLING SEVEN
Is LAID TO MANIAC.
Investigators Believe Tene-
ment Blaze and Others Same
Mans Work.
FLAMES SPREAD QUICKLY
Whole Wooden Interior Soon
Burning and Escape Cut Off
Several Injured.

Investigators from the District At
said last night that the fire which
started early yesterday in the tenement
at 241 West 1o9th street. and which re-
suited in seven deaths and the probable
fatal injury of two other persons, was
without doubt the work of pyromaniac
who had tried to burn other buildings in
the neighborhood.
The fire started in a pile of blankets
and pillows In a baby carriage under
the staircase on the ground floor. Be
cause of the wooden construction OF the
stairs. casing and virtually all of the
interior of the old building, the flames
made their way to the roof with amazing
rapidity, driving the tenants gasping to
the windows and to the fire escape in
front of the building, which by itself,
was totally inadequate,
Although the rapid spread OF the fire
and the consequent loss of life were
undoubtedly attributable to the wood
work, Frederic c.. Kuehnle, chief build
ing inspector. said there was nothing in
the building regulations to prevent re-
building with the same materials. The
damage to the building is estimated at
$4,000
Seven Dead; Several Injured.
Following is the revised list of the
dead: Wilbur Fem. As. and his son,
Wilbur, Jr., 16; William Hummell. Jr..
49, and his brother. Albert, IL: Herman

Convinced that Mildred Voth, the
three months old baby who was kid

being concealed somewhere in the reigp-

later returned TO the hallway to find a

went back@ to bed but before ten min
utes had elapsed the building next door
was burning and the street was in an
uproar.
Many Daring Rescues Made.
At least a score of daring rescues
were made. Patrolman Adolph Schwartz
used clothes line as ladder to bring
down Mrs. Tillie Kiefer from the fourth
floor. Edward j. Coffey, a watchman
who has only one arm. fought his way
twice through the smoke to the third
floor and came back each time with
an unconscious woman thrown across
his shoulder. And there were many
others. The wonder of IL, the police and
witnesses agree. was that more lives
were not lost. for the whole of the build
ing seemed to be burning at once, and
the lone fire escape down the front was
useless because of the flames that came
out of the second story and cut off all
escape.
Two of the dead boys-Wilbur Fem.
Jr., and Albert Hummell-plunged to
their death in desperation while firemen
were begging them to hold OH little
longer. The others were either burned
or suffocated or both. For time there
was a report that Fireman John Shuber
had been killed. but It turned out that
a joint of his leg was dislocated as he
fell two stories when ladder broke. He
was taken to st. Lulke's for treatment.
