fremen and volunteers directed their
efforts toward rescue work.
Early in the rescue work a human
chain was formed. stretching from
the orphanage 10 tobacco factory
directly across the street. AS scores
of terrified children, many of them
half conscious, were removed from
the burning building, their screams
mingling with the roar of the flames,
they were lifted from one to another
of those in the chain to the factory.
There doctors and nurses hastily
gathered 10 care for them.
Although the hospice was conducted
mainly as an orphanage, number of
children had been placed by their
parents in the institutions school.
When they learned the building was
on fire these frantic parents besieged
the fire lines and were directed TO the
factory across the street.
Many happy reunions followed as
rescued children were recognized,
while the anxiety of other parents
was increased when they failed to
find their children at that place of
refuge. Some sorroWfullY made their
way to The hospitals and mOrgue in
an effort to learn the fate of their
loved ones.
Most of the children in the insti-
tuition were FROM the city of Quebec
and surrounding towns and their ages
ranged from 5 10 IS years.
The building, A four-story stone
structure, was a Quebec landmark.
1t was erected as a marine hospital
in 1882. and for a number of years
had been used by the nuns of the
Good Shepherd as an orphanage and

CITY BOARD WANTS
MARKET ON MALL
Congress Gets Plan to Locate
Stands Between Sixth and
Seventh Streets.

Location Of the Farmers Produce
Maket temporarily ON Government
owned property on the Mall between
Sixth and Seventh streets. JUS; south
of the foundations for the Victory
Memorial Building, was recommended
to Congress this afternoon by the
Board Of District commissioners.
The temporary location was urged in
lieu of a permanent site, because of
the desire of the Commissioners to
ascertain where the commission mer-
chants intend to locate. The tempo
rary location. the commissioners
pointed out will equal in size the
present Farmers Market. which will
be dismantled the latter part of next
month or early IN February.
The cost Of necessary temporary
sheds, including restaurant and
ket at it's temporary location, the Com
missions estimated, will not exceed
$4,000.
Site Held Best Suited.
The Commissioners made known their
recommendations in a comprehensive
lS-page typewriter report which con-
of the Farmers Market situation
1T is believed that this temporary
location will b. most satisfactory in
that it viii cause little or no dis
turbanCc TO the farmers, viii leave
an Of the group of produce dealers in
the same present proximity and VIII
avoid very large expenditure at
this time" the report declared.
The Commissioners pointed ont that
if A permanent site must he selected
at this time they would prefer the
site in Southwest Washington hound
ed by Tenth and Eleventh and + and
G streets, The advantages OF this
site, they said. outweigh the advan-
taGes of the lexington sites, as there
are cold storage facilities already
available as we'll as railroad produce
terminal on an adjacent square.
Fish Market Established.
Moreover. the Commissioners de
clared a municipal fish market is al.
ready established enc block away from
this proposed Southwest site, which
would he in convenient location for
the farmers of Virginia as we'll as all
in Maryland except those coming di-
rectly from the north.
The cost of acquiring land In the
southwest location IS SubSta ntldlly
less than the various sites fecom
mended in lexington. which also were
given serious consideration by the
Commissioners the report emphas sized.
Development of the Southwest loca
ton as general market area, il
added, would be entirely south of the
railroad tracks and would therefore
not interfere with the proper develop
ment of the Mall nor would it en-
croach upon the harbor front. since a
commercial street would separate il
from The latter.
