FIFTEEN PERISH IN
N. Y. TENEMENT FIRE
lncendiary Flames Devastate
Packed Building Trapping
People in Bed

New York. - Fifteen persons. most
of them children. lost their lives in
fire, believed by city officials to be
the work of a pyro-maniac. The
flames swept with murderous sud
denness from cellar to attic of five
story brick tenement at Lexington
avenue and One Hundred and Tenth
street. in the thickly populated East
Side
The blaze apparently started in a
baby carriage under the stairs in the
lower hall, under circumstances al
most identical with the recent incen-
diary fire in an upper West Side
apartment house which resulted in
seven deaths. So quickly did the
flames shoot through the building
that a number OF the dead were found
in bed burned or suffocated without
the slightest opportunity of escape.
Most OF the persons on the second
floor succeeded in making their way
down the fire escape, but those on the
upper floor had to battle through
smoke and flames. pouring from the
windows. Several tenants who per
ished on upper-story windows threat
ened to jump. but were prevailed up
on by firemen to remain until lad
ders could be raised to take them
down. One aged woman, Mrs Mary
Inglass, disregarded the warning and
leaped from the fourth floor, receiv-
ing injuries which will probably cause
her death
The .fremen were on the second
floor and preparing to work their way
above when the third floor collapsed,
but not before a warning roar sent
the firemen to safety.
Police estimate that 300 people liv-
ed in the building Many OF them lost

mittee is making provision for the
care of the homeless and will provide
them with funds for temporary use.

"DRW ship RULING
UPHELD BY COURT
Only Liquor Rations For For
eign Crews Allowed in
Three-MiIe Limit

New York. - Only sufficient liuuor
to supply the customary ration for
ship crews may be brought inside the
three-mile limit by foreign vessels,
Judge Learned Hand ruled in Federal
district court, refusing to grant an in
junction against enforcement of At
torney General Daugherty's recent
dry ruling
The Daugherty order, he declared.
must be enforced, with the one quail
ncatlon, and advised foreign steam
snip companies seeking to stay it's
enforcement to apply for a final deci-
sion to the Supreme Court immedi-
ately.
Foreign steamship companies are
rigidly restricted by Judge Hand even
IN the matter OF wine rations for their
crews. Only enough liquor stores to
supply the crews on the eastward
voyage may be brought inside the
American three-mile limit. Every
company is to put up $4,000 bond
against violation of this provision.
Judge Hands decision appears to
leave no other loop-hole for the trans
portation OF liquor within the three
mile zone. Even his regulation re-
garding liquor for crews was made
temporary until the foreign ship own
ers can carry their case to the Su-
preme Court for a final review. His
decision terminated the temporary re-
straining order issued recently and
the Daugherty ruling now becomes
fully effective
Later in the day Judge Hand said
his decision was not applicable to
American ships on the high seas. He
declared he has not decided whether
American ships, westbound, can carry
liquors. Counsel for American ship
ping interests were directed to sub
NIT memorandums in connection with
sale of liquors on these ships.

extensive system of sabotage in the

fields, Townsend testified, harvesters
were destroyed, hay fields fired and
harvested wheat often destroyed by
placing the bundles of wheat upside
down so that the kernels of wheat
drew moisture from the ground and
sprouted.
All of these acts of sabotage, Town
send related on the stand, are part
of a general plan, and crews OF men
are assigned to the work of destruc-

Mrs. Christler said that earlier in
the evening, upon completion OF
church service, she had gone to her
home and found the house lighted and
Mrs. Carleton inside tearing up and
burning Mr.. Christler's photographs.
Mrs. Carleton, she said, gave no ex-
PLANTATION and talked incoherently.
The two women left the house togeth-
er, Mrs. Christler going to a restaur-
ant, where Rev. Mr. ChristIer, a Wis
tting clergyman and several men
church members were dining. They
remained at the restaurant until late

linking the names OF Rev. Mr.. Christ
ler and Mrs. Carleton. Bishop Faber

based on truth.
