"A Persons Die In NY. Garment District Fire

NEW YORK, R Twenty four persons-18 of them women gar ment workers-died in a down. town loft building fire Wednes- day.
 Delay in sounding an alarm was blamed in large part for the tragedy.
 The fire "conceivably was going like hell for 10 minutes" before the fire department could get to fight it.
 A man and woman lived thru the two-hour blaze.
 A medical examiner said most of the victims were asphyxiated before the flames reached them.
 Fifteen persons were injured.
 Fire Commissioner Edward F.. Cavanagh said there was no evil dence of fire law violations on the premises, adding.
 Tt would seem that panic play ed a most important role in this blaze. Some bodies were piled one on top of the other-evidence of mass hysteria. At least three jumped from windows where there was no evidence of smoke or flame"
 The blaze broke out when an oven exploded on the third-floor textile factory in the five-story structure, A bolt of fabric was being treated in the oven when the blast came. The three em- ployes on the third floor escaped unhurt, as did persons on all other floors but the fourth.
