Lives in Attempt to Save

Madmen-IsIand Fire Apparatus
Futileiy Inadequate.

New York.-Fire that swept
wing of the main building of the Man
haitian State Hospital for the Insane
on Wards Island in which were 1,6O0
patients, took the lives of twenty-five
patients and three attendants.
The ward in which the fire started
housed the most violent cases of in
sanity, and the greatest difficulty was
experienced in leading the inmates
to safety.
Scenes of terror were related by
firemen and others, who arrived soon
after the alarm had 5ounded and saw
the patients at the barred windows
as the flames crept nearer and nearer.
Those who were trapped were burnt
so that identification was next to inn
possible.
Several investigations have been
started to determine the origin OF the
of lives, which amounted to about one
quarter of the total number of in
mates in the ward. There were
eighty-seven violently insane persons
housed in Ward 43, as the top floor is
known. and 900 in the entire west
wing and 1000 in the entire main
building.
The three attendants who were
burned were assigned to the night
shift and we're sleeping in their rooms
when the fire was discovered. They
were probably burned to death where
they slept. Their names are George
A. De Emo, 266A cambridge avenue,
Brooklyn; Patrick Gilligan, 2437 First
avenue, and George Reiss, 1888 Lex
ington avenue.
The most coherent account of the
fire was told by Michael Campbell,
one Of the night attendants who mar
rowly escaped death as the ceiling
fell through. Campbell spent ten
years in the New York Fire Depart
ment, and 1t is probably due to his
prompt handling of the emergency
fire hose that the loss of lives was
not greater. He fought the fire until
he was knocked over by falling beams
and then blinded by smoke groped his
way slowly to safety.
Only most thorough and rigid In
vestigation will show whether the in
mates who died were locked in their
rooms SO that egress was impossible,
Or Whathor thew sim nlv hacama cOn-
fused and were unable to collect
themselves sufficiently to follow the
sixty-flve others who we're being mar

tendent Of the hospital, in an inter-
view in his Office after the fire had
been put out declared none Of tx

men were locked in their rooms.
Campbell, who has worked as a night
attendant for two months in the In
stitution, declared that all the rooms
were supposed to be locked during
the night, but that the patients had
picked the plaster from around the
bolts of many of the rooms and were
able to walk into the corridors at
will.
Alexander Hill. another night at
tendant, also declared that none of
the doors were locked. He and Su-
pervisor Curry, who make nightly
rounds of the various wards and who
happened to be near by when the fire
broke out, went through the wards
calling "All hands up The debat-
able point seems to be whether their
assistance was also in the form Of
unlocking the doors of the rooms in
which the patients. slept two in a

Poetry

in spite of the popular belief that a
poet is born and not made. There
may have been a time in the history
of the world when one would have
found II hard to compete with the
luminaries in the sphere of this par
ticular art, but not in this day and
generation, when the deyotees OF free
verse break into print and when soci-
ETY. matrons are ever ready to help,
aid and assist any struggling poet,
whether his verses result from spring
fever, a touch of love or simply pow
erty. Even poet must have his hob
bies, and we find some who just harp
on the loveliness of some flower or
garden worm in order to be complete
ly happy, stuff like this:
Poor crushed flower,
Yod lived but a-day;
Tell me how you died.
They stepped on you, you say.
Or this;
am the gayest of men,
love the flowers and trees;
| bask all day in the golden sun,
At night in the evening breeze.
Then we have the limerick writer,
foremost among poetical pests, with
such rawlings as:
There once was a girl named Jane,
Who wouldn't come out of the rain.
Her mother was mad,
Her father was glad,
But she gave the window pain (pane),
A Al IN, Il IL, ,tc
to insult ones intelligence, and ad-
mitting that the things rhyme on the
ends they seem to have hard time
getting them to say anything in the
middle.
Oh, don't let us forget that sweet
voiced songster that pipes up with
something about beautiful snow every
now and then. He's been sort Of quiet
this winter. Perhaps he has had to
shovel some of it. He may have
changed his tune to this:
Snow, snow beautiful snow,
1t flies in your face wherever you go;
Blocks the traffic and gets in your
shoes,
All that it's good for is beautiful views,
| heard about a fellow that wrote a
poem entitled why Do ! Live? and
sent 1t to an editor, who in rejecting
the same informed him it was because
he sent his poem by mail. Well, so
much for that. Now, let's see did we
miss anyone? Oh, my, yes; the free
verse individual No remarks, just a
sample:

More noise,

DOUBT G. O. P. VERDICT
IN OREGON PRIMARY
Harding Was Seen as Choice for
President, But Coolidge Must
Earn Endorsement.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

PORTLAND. Ore, September 1t
Is difficult to attempt to guess what
Oregon voters will do about the
presidency at the 1924 primary cleo
tion In the face of the sudden change
that has come with Harding's death
and the succession of Coolidge to
the presidency. and under the Oregon
primary law what the voters say will
determine what the Oregon delega-
ton does at the national convention.
Harding made a good impression in
Oregon. Had he lived the republican
voters probably would have sent a
Harding delegation to the convention.
What they will do about President
Coolidge will depend upon what the
President does in the meantime
Oregon Is republican state. but it's
republicans are not OF the conserva-
tive segment of the party, generally
speaking. Johnson carried the presi-
dental primary election in 1920. 1t
would be surprising to see him do so
again in 1924, but time will have to
settle political conditions here a little
before any logical guess can be made.
There is lot of Ford talk here Were
he in the democratic primary poll
ticians contend he and McAdoo would
put up a pretty contest over the dele
CATION to the democratic convention.
but among the known and labeled
democratic possibilities McAdoo seems
TO have the most vocal support at
the present time at least.

some outsider should be entered, as
1t is the desire of the democrats to
keep the senator more in the dark
horse status until the proper time
comes TO spring his name on the con-
vention. The leaders feel that by
keeping Ralston in the background
they can discourage the entrance of
any candidates who might cast long
ing eyes on lndiana's thirty delegates
to the national convention. The Raj
ston boom Is in the hands of Thomas
Taggart. the veteran democratic
chieftian.
Want Coolidge to Have Chance.
Watson's friends all subscribe to
the hope expressed in Washington
that President Coolidge should be
given an opportunity ito make good"
before rival candidates are brought
out and they even assert that the
senator will not seek the nomination
unless the field is open, although at
the same time declaring In cock-sure
fashion that the field will be opened
to all who desire to enter. This atti-
tude here, whether II reflects the SEN
ators mind or not, is taken to mean
that Watson will become a candidate
unless all opposition to Coolidge is
thoroughly stified.
Men acting Independently they as
sert, of Watson's knowledge, already
are looking about with a view of
building up the delegation to the
next republican national convention
out of tried and true friends of the
senator. That means, TO the political
wise, that every effort Will be made

without the support of his homo
state Watson cannot get far as d
presidential candidate. The old feud,
dating back TO 1915, between Senator
Watson and Postmaster General
Harry 8. New never has been amic-
ably adjusted. And the differences
between the senator and James +.
Goodrich, former governor, and Will
II. Hays. formerly republican nation
al chairman, still are unsettled. If
these ghosts of the past rise to haunt

1t seems.
If everything goes as the political
leaders and friends of the possibili-
ties hope Senator James F.. Watson
will seek the republican presidential
nomination and the name of Senator
Samuel NJ. Ralston will be presented
to the democratic national conven-
tion. Neither man has said anything
publicly that could be construed as

tential candidate for the highest
political gift within the power of the

Special Dispatch to The Star.

HARTFORD. Conn, September l.
While the republicans of Connecticut
are inclined to move slowly in get
ting aboard a Coolidge band wagon,
the early indications are that Con-
necticut eventually will line up with
her sister New England states in sup
port Of the President as his own sue
cessor in 1924. While President Cool
idge comes from the next door state
to Connecticut, the voters do not feel
that they know him overwell and
they want to see results from the new
administration before linirg up for
It's head. However. they are alto
gether favorable to the man from
Massa chusetts, willing to give him
fair trial and back him up TO the
limit il he makes good There is no
little sentiment for a New England
President which. other things being
equal, will mean that Coolidge dele
gates will be sent from Connecticut
Wait on Coal solution.
1t is felt here that the solution Of
the present coal problem will have
much to do with the success or failure
OF the movement TO put the President
at the head Of the republican ticket
next year. In this connection there
is interest in the attitude OF Gov
Pinchot Of Pennsylvania, a native OF
this state. who has the coal strike
complications in hand and there are
those who see disposition on the
part OF the Pennsylvania executive to
make political capital for himself out
of the situation possibly In the hope
that he can be nominated to sue
ceed Preslden Coolidge. To Con-
necticut readers of political news,
Pinchot is appropriating the lime
light and apparently willing to shut
Coolidge out of it.
Stand for Cummings.
Homer S. Cummings OF Stamford,
former chairman of the democratic
national committee and candidate
for the presidential nomination in
1920, appears willing to play the
favorite son role again. He has just
returned from a trip abroad. but he
has not been silent during his alb
sence or since his return. 1t is sug-
gested that the likelihood that Cool
idge will be the republican nominee
encourages Cummings to believe that
he, as another New England man,
has good chance OF being named as
his democratic opponent. He can un-
doubtedly have his own states vote
in the national convention, but his
strength elsewhere is an unknown
quantity and, at present. appears
negligible. HARRY 1. HORTON.
