!. Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Feb. %.
charred bodies have
been recovered from the ruins of
a two-story brick and frame
building destroyed BY fire early
today.
It is believed fourteen Of the
twenty roomers trapped on the
second floor persisted. Six are
believed to have been children.
Firemen are digging in the debris
to find other victims.
Two Unidentified.
The dead:
Mrs. Elisha Colston.

Mrs. Gussie Brown. his wife.
Four children, Katherine, seven;
Arthur, six; Marguerite, five, and
Leo, jr.. three.
Mrs. Villa Munyon, sixty-three,
housekeeper.
Two unidentified persons.
F1remen are making a check OF
the occupants of the rooming
house. Several persons narrowly
escaped with their lives by jumping
from the windows as the flames
enveloped the building and cut off
escape by stairs.
The Brown family, all OF whose
members persisted. occupied three
rooms. Under their windows fire
men recovered six bodies.
Started In Garage.
Origin of the fire has not been
determined. It is believed to have
resulted from spontaneous com
bustion augmented by oil in the
garage OIL the ground floor.
Relatives of missing occupants
stood near the ruins in anxious
silence as firemen dug.
Women watched with tense faces
as each body was carried out.
None Of the occupants appeared to
have been awakened by the flames.
A passerby saw them and gave the
alarm.
Within thirty minutes after the
first alarm the roof collapsed.
The old dilapidated building burned
like cardboard. It was nearly de-
stroyed before the fire companies
could arrive.

sioners authority to impose a fine
of not more than $500, or 1mprison-
ment in the District jail or work
house for q period not to exceed
three months, or both, for violation
Of any regulation or ordinance now
in force or hereafter promulgated by
the Commissioners, relating to the
use Of public streets by vehicles Of
any description.
Stephens, in submitting the draft
of the measure, also urged a reck-
less driving statute.
1T is believed that a reckless dr1v-
ing statute in this District" he said,
properly enforced and punishable
by an adequate penalty, would, do
much towards reducing fatalities on
the streets. without an adequate
penalty, it is not believed that such
regulation would accomplish much
good"
Approved by Officials.
The act, Stephens says, Is not
intended to impose Jail sentences
for violation of all traffic regula-
tons, but only such as the Com
missioners deem advisable.
The Commissioners approved the
bill this morning and sent it to
Congress Immediately.
The Commissioners also consid-
cred traffic recommendations Of
the public order committee Of the
Board of Trade. They referred the
recommendations to the special
traffic committee, which meets this
afternoon.
Odell S. Smith, Of the Board Of
Trade, has been invited to attend
the meeting.
