u PATIENTS DIE IN
INSANE ASYLUM FIRE
Three Attendants Lose Lives
While EndeavOring to Save
5000 Inmates

New York.-A terrific blast, set by
dredgers in He'll Gate, rocked build
ings of the Manhattan State Hospital
Tor the Insane on Wards Island in
the East river and set the 6,338 in
mates covering and wailing with
sense Of impending doom.
Attendants calmed them and got
them to bed, but before morning the
doom fantasied by the disordered
brains had come true for % of the
maddest. They had been burned to
death in fierce fire that swept the
west wing Of the main building. Three
heroic attendants died with them,
striving to the last to rescue them.
Hospital authorities and City Medi-
cal Examiner Norris, who rushed to
the scene, said that in all probability
the blast had been the immediate
cause or the fire. According to their
theory, it caused break in the insu-
lation of electric wires in the attic of
the building. A short circuit, they
think, did the rest
The fire was discovered by Michael
Campbell, an attendant in Ward 43. in
which all the fatalities occurred. His
calm, heroic work, and that of James
Hill, attendant in charge, and Patrick
Billigan of Hartford, Conn; George A.
De Emo and George F. Reiss, the
three attendants who were burned to
death, prevented a far greater holo-
caust
Campbell manned a hose line and
fought back the flames, while the
others, directed by Hill, ran up and
down the top-floor corridor, 200 feet
long, rousing the patients with the
cool order, "All up for breakfast"
Seventy of the 90 inmates of Ward
43 had been led or carried to safety
when huge water tank in the blaz-
ing attic crashed through the ceiling.

Supreme Court Sustains Riqht
to Expose Those Who
Violate Ruling
OPINIONS MAY BE PUBLISHED
Decision Gives Body Right of Sueaes-

lows Railroad Shop Craft
Strike Farley Order.

Washington, d. C.-The right of the
Railroad Labor Board to make pub
lie statement that it's decisions have
been violated was upheld by the Su-
preme Court of the United States,
when, in an opinion handed down by
Chief Justice Taft, the court refused
an appeal by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company involving the Issue
stated.
Chief Justice Taft made it plain
that the railroads did not have to ac-
cept the dictum of the Labor Board
in making rulings and working condi-
tions, but that the systems cannot
prevent the board from publishing to
the world the fact that its decisions
have been disregarded
The Pennsylvania sought to enjoin
the board from making such publica-
ton, and the case eventually came to
the Supreme Court from the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals for
the Seventh District. The matter
grew out of a dispute between the
road and the shop craft union en-
ployes, which occurred shortly after
the Labor Board took Office and as
sumed jurisdiction Of railroad labor
regulations and working conditions.
The board had urged the roads to
confer with their employees in an at
tempt to make their own regulations
and adjust their own conditions. and
in cases where these conference were
unsuccessful the old rules and work
ing conditions were continued until
the board made a decision
The Pennsylvania road declined to
recognize the federated shop crafts
of the system, a labor union of en-
ployes of the railroad engaged in shop
work and affiliated with the American
Federation OF Labor, and which com
planned that the railroad wanted to
form company union" to the Rail
road Labor Board
new election of negotiating repre-
sentatives of employees was ordered
and rules prescribed by the board.
The Pennsylvania then began action
in the district court of Illinois to en-
join the Labor Board from carrying
out what the railroad company termed
illegal acts" especially the boards
threatened official publication of it's
opinion that the Pennsylvania had
violated the boards decision under
the transportation act.

THIRTEEN DEAD
IN KANSAS FIRE
Charred Remains of Victims of
Rooming House Blaze Taken
From Debris
WHOLE FAMILY WIPED OUT
Twenty Others Have Thrilling Escap
From Death Trap BY Leapine
From Windows on Second
FIoor-AIl Were Asleep.

Kansas City, Kan.-Thirteen bodies
have been recovered from the ruins
OF rooming house destroyed by fire
here, fire department officials an
nounced
Squads OF soot-covered men dug in
to the debris in search of three per-
sons still unaccounted for. The bodies
recovered were so charred and black
ened, Identification was impossible
In some cases they were unable to
tell whether the bodies were those
of adults or of children.
The dead are: Mrs. Elisha Colston:
Violet Colston, aged years; Vernon
Colston, aged 4 years; Leo Brown;
Mrs. Gussie Brown, his wife; Kather-
inc Brown, aged Z years; Arthur
Brown, aged 6 years; Marguerite
Brown, aged years; Leo Brown,
Jr., aged 3 years, and three unidenti-
fed persons.
Thirty-five persons were trapped on
the second floor when the combina-
tion garage and rooming house was
enveloped in flames shortly after mid
night.
Twenty persons escaped by leaping
from windows on the second floor.
One man, carrying a child aged five
years under his arm, managed to
make his way to a fight of stairs.
AS he reached the middle of the flight
the fire ate away the understructure
and he tumbled the rest of the way.
He staggered out of the building a
few minutes later hlackened and
scorched.
All of the roomers were asleep
when the fire started. Some were
awakened by the wild shouts OF a pc
destrian who noticed the building
ablaze as he was passing.
When fire equipment arrived the
building was completely enveloped in
flames and rescue of other occupants
was practically impossible.
When the seething mass cooled the
work of rescue began. Families of
relatives were held back by police
lines.
One ambulance made continuous
trips back and forth from the scene
to the morgue as the bodies were
hauled out from under still smolder-
ing beams and tangled framework.
Some were found wedged between
automobiles which had been parked in
the garage on the first floor.
Many persons gathered at the NOR
que and vainly endeavored to identify
the blackened masses of flesh and
bone that had been taken from the
ruins of the building.
