 Escape of Residents

SEATTLE, May 8. The city's worst hotel fire in years, spreading rapidly before the occupants could be awakened, killed four persons. The fire was the small downtown residential Stewart Hotel at SIT Madison Street, opposite the new Federal Court House.
 The dead are:
 JOHN SELLER, 76.
 MIR. AND MRS. WILLIAM MUIR DOCK, each about 60.
 MRS VIOLET MORRISON, 48.
 Eleven persons were severely in- jured, four of them by leaping to the ground from the second and third floor windows, as the flames raced up the central stairway
 George Robert Jordan, 28, of Des Moines, Wash, is perhaps critically burned. He also suffered a severe back injury as the result of jumping from third story window.
 Truck Driver Jeano Ceccarelli turned in the first fire alarm shortly after o'clock this morning and he said at that time men and women were in the upper windows scream ing for help.
 The firemen were quickly on the scene and many of the hotel in mates were helped down ladders.
 Fire Chief William Fitzgerald said the fire started in waste basket in the managers office and spread rapidly up the stairway and filled the railways with smoke.

Seventy-three dzi Night Raiders Shot Done by
 Anti-dirUdft Guns

LONDON, May 8.-British anti aircraft guns are credited with shooting down many German bomb CTS last night, making a total of 73 night raiders destroyed thus far in May, only IA less than the entire month of April.
 The sharp increase might be due to the bright moonlight nights that bring a great number of German planes to shoot at or to the improved accuracy on the part of the RAF' defense fighters.
