Hall, the new parochial buildings and

rector of St. Patrick's, acted as the mas
ter of ceremonies. Cardinal Gibbons, sev
eral archbishops and other dignitaries of
the Catholic church attended the exercises
the former making an address Immediately
preceding that of, the president. H. H.
MacFarland, president of he Hoard of Di
rectors of the District of Columbia, was
the concluding speaker.
' The addresses were made from a bal-I
cony on the second floor of the rectory and
the audience gathered In the streets. The
Intersection of Tenth and C streets, north-
west, was packed with people and the I
crowd extended fully a square north and
south, east and west from the rectory. Dr.
Stafford In his opening remarks referred
, to the fact that In the century ard more
that Bt Patrick's church had worked In
Washington no honor had come to It so
great as the visit of President Roosevelt.
The Knights of Columbus formed a
guard of honor for the president and a
quad of policemen wus necereary to open
the- way through the crowded ' streets.
Cheer after cheer went up us the presi
dent and his escort appeared. He was met
at his carriage by Father Stafford, and as
he passed into the rectory a children's
Choir of 200 voices, stationed In front of
the church, sang hymns.
Before the ceremonies were begun the
president waa shown through the handsome
new rectory. When he stepped out on the
balcony ho was cheered loudly, the dem
onstration doubling when Cardinal Gib
bons took a place by the president's ride
and Invited htm to be seated.
Dr. Stafford, the first speaker told of
the frk of St. Patrick's parish. Its growth
and .its hupa or the . future. He' Intro

President Roorevelt thanked the rector
and Joined In the laugh which preceded

lows: t
It Is a great pleasure to me to be pres
ent with you today, to assist at the dedi
cation of the school, hull and rectory of
this parish, a parish whose 110 anniversary
we also now celebrate; for this p.irlsh
was founded six years before the national
capital was placed In the present District
of Columbia, (cheers and applause). 1 am
5 lad indeed to have been Introduced, Car
lnal Gibbons, by you, the spiritual repre
Benatlva in a peculiar sense to that lltshop
Carroll who played so illustrious a part
In the affairs of the church and whose
kinsfolk played ns Illustrious a part in
the affairs of thj nation at the duwning
of this government. In greeting all of you
I wish to say that I am especially glad
to see the children present, (cheers). You
know 1 believe in ciilHren. I want to bh
enough of them and the right kind. (Ap
plause). I wish today In the very brief remarks
that I have to make to dwell upon this
thought the thought that oupht to be in
the mind of every man and woman here,
the thought that while in this country we
need wise laws, honestly and fearlessly ex
ecuted, and while we cannot afford to tol
erate anything but the hlghejt stand rd in
the public service of the government, yet
that In the last analysis tho future of th
country must depend upon the quality of
the Individual home, of the Individual man
or woman In that home. The future of
this country depends upon the way In
which the average man and average wo
man In It does his or her duty, and that
very largely depends upon the way In
which the average boy or girl is brought
up, (cheers and appluuse).
Responsibility of Work.
Therefore, a ptcuHar responsibility rests
Upon those whose life work it Is to see
to the spiritual welfure of our people and
upon those who - make it their life work
to try to train the citizens of the future
so that they shall be worthy of thit fu
ture. In wishing you well today, 1 wish
you well In doing the most Important work
which is allotted to any of our people to
do. The rules of good ctttxenshlp are tol
erably simple. The trouble Is not in finding
them out; the tiouUe la in living up to
them after they have been found out. I
think we all of us know, fairly well, what
qualities there are which In their sum make
up the type of character we like to se?
in man or wire, son or uuugnier: out i
am afraid we don't always see them as
well developed as we would like to. I j
wish to see in the average American cltl- .
men the development of the two sets of
qualities which we can roughly In 'It-ate as:
sweetness and atrength-.'lie qualities on 1
the one hand which ma'.o the man able !
to hold his own, and those which on the ;
other hand make him Jealous of the righis
of the others Just as much as for his own
rights. We must have both sets of quail-
ties. In the hist place the irmn must h ive .
the power to Iwar his own. You probably
know that I don't rare very much fir I
the coward or the moral weakling. 1 want i
each of you boys, and the girls Just as I

Congratulation for Accomplishments.
Finally, 1 want to congratulate all of us
here on certain successes that we have
uihleved In the century and a quarter that
lias gone by of our Amerlciin life. We
have difficulties enough, and e are a long

immediate danger of our growing too good;
there is ample room for effort yet left.
Hut we have achieved certain results and
we have succeeded In measurably realizing
certain ideals. We have grown to accept
it as an axiomatic truth of our American
life that the man Is to be treated on his
worth as a man, without regard to the;
accidents of his position (applause); that
this la not a government designed to favor
the rich man us such or the poor as such,
but that It Is designed to favor every man,
rich or poor. If he Is a decent man, who
acts fairly by hit fellows. (Cheers and
applnuse.) We have grown to realize that
pttrt of the foundations upon which our
liberty rests Is the right of each man to
worship his Creator according to the dic
tates of his conscience, and the duty of
each man to respect his fellow who eo wor
ships Him. (Cheers nnd Applause.) And
oh. my countrymen, one of tho best augur
ies of the future of this country, for the
future of this mlghtv and majestic nation
of ours, lies In the fact that we brothers
have grown to regard one another with a
broad anil kindly charity and to realise
that the field for homsn endeavor is wide;
thnt the fle'd for chnritable. philanthropic,
religious work is wide, and that while a

members of the Union Pacific lobby, and
one of them was a messenger and spotter
for Baldwin at the last legislature.
The committee refused to confirm these
appointees and pressed for their dianlaaul,
but the chairman begged hard for them,
saying he feared their discharge would
alienate Important Influences needed In the
campaign and he Ignored the wish of the
committee. He continued to use up the
campaign funds by checking them out
without a treasurer's draft. . Ha appointed
heads of bureaus at extravagant salirles
without reporting to or consulting with the
executive committee.
The Meet lllah-Haaded Case.
The appointment of the head of the
speakers' bureau waa a most high-handed
proceeding. Chairman Burgess bad Called
hla committee together on Friday, laying
before them his recommendation of Charley
Rlgg. I objected to the Installation of
Rlgg. explaining my reasons. The other
members seemed to hesitate and i was
doubtful whether the appointment could
be confirmed If It came to a. vote, al
though I declared that all I would Insist
on. If the others were determined to put
him In. waa to be recorded against It. At
Mr. Burgess' own request the meeting ad
journed until the following Tuesday to
give him time to submit other names. Put
Monday Mr. Burgess assumed of his own
motion to appoint Mr. Rlgg and fix his
salary at $.V) a week. He telegraphed all
the executive committee, excepting my
self, that he had called the adjourned
meeting off and Jumped on the train with
Mr. Rlgg for Chicago to negotiate there
for speakers with the national speakers'
bureau. It was another two weeks be for?
the committee was allowed to meet and It
promptly cut Mr. Rlgg's salary down to
35 a week and board, although he had
already drawn the 30. With less speak
ing In Nebraska In the campaign Just
closed than in any even year campaign In
a decade, the administration of the speak
ers' bureau still cost more money than
ever before.
In the Interval as the campaign pro
gressed complaints of mismanagement at
the state headquarters multiplied. County
chairmen who came to Omaha to transact
business with the state chairman were
frequently unable to find him at all and
those ho found him were unable to get
any satisfactory answer to their Inquiries.
Their letters were unanswered and thell
requests Ignored. Around headquarters it
was notorious that Chalrmnn Burgess was
not In his office half the time, and when
out he was to be located most usually. If
at all, by telephoning to the Union Pacific
headquarters.
Culmination of Inefficiency.
The culmination came on Friday of the
second week preceding election. On that
day Treasurer Hennings discovered that a
German newspaper, which had been subsi
dized and circulated with republican money
out of a secret fund used by Chairman
Burgess, contained vicious attacks upon
Governor Mickey and upon John L. Ken
nedy, and was supporting their democratic
opponents. Mr. Hennings Immediately
translated the articles and hastening to the
slate headquarters. In the presence of
Chairman Burgess and Secretary Allen,
created a veritable "scene." The explana
tion offered by Mr Burgess was that this
woe a national committee deal end that
the state committee had nothing to do with
it, and that no one could help being sold
out and deceived by tho publisher of the
paper In question.
Other fncts about the deal with this Ger
man paper became known about the same
time; that the first Installment of the
money due to this paper had been paid by
Mr. Burgess by personal checks drawn on
the Flrt National bank of Lincoln, Instead
of by drafts on the treasurer of the state
committee; that on one occasion he had
paid him by endorsing over to him a check
for S100, drawn to himself by Frank B.
Johnson of the Omaha Printing company,
and that he had later paid him In cash
stored In the Merchants' National bank of
Omaha. Frank Johnson, who was known
to be In close and constant touch with
Chairman Burgess, Is a dled-ln-the-wool
democrat. He was a disappointed applicant
for appointment by Governor Mickey on
the Omaha police board and was actively
fighting the governer by every means. The
fact that his concern does much of the
printing for the Union Pacific and that the
attaches of the Union Pacific law depart
ment were also openly fighting Governor
Mickey lent color to the complaints thnt
the governor was not getting a square deal
at the hands of Chairman Burgess. In
fact, the consensus of reports at thnt time
from all over the state were decidedly dis
couraging to the governpr's chnnces, and
warned his friends that vigorous action
was needed. On their representation Con
gressman Burkett sent T. C. Munger of
Lincoln to Omaha to see what was the
matter at headquarters and to stralghtee
things out If he could.
Tom Munger Takes Charge.
Mr. Munger arrived, if I remember cor
rectly, on Sunduy and called on me to as
certain what I could tell him of the situa
tion. He called on other people and came
to the speedy conclusion that affairs were
In bad shape. He tried to find Chairman
Burgess, but was unable to locate him and
only a hunt high and low brought him in
late Monday night looking decidedly the
worse for wear. While I have this only on
hearsay, I waa told that he was able to
give only an Incoherent report on the status
of things at headquarters. He explulned
his absence by raying he made so many
promises and incurred so many obligations
that he was afraid to meet the people wait
ing for him at headquarters. The secret
money he had been using outside of the
regular campaign fund had been furnished
him, he declared, from tho national com
mittee and the Johnson check represented
money borrowed to tide him over a de
layed remittance.
An Inventory of current expenses dis
closed the fact that all the money in the
treasury had been spent and that some
$3,000 of dcjjts had been accumulated be
yond the resources In sight, while the
salary list at headquarters was running
over 1500 a week. Mr. Munger insisted on
the discharge of all the help at once, and
when Mr. Burgess displayed a reluctance to
do this, that disagreeable duty was as
signed to Secretary Allen, who performed
It promptly Tuesday morning.
Money Gone, Nothing Accomplished,
At this time Chairman Burges had
spent 18,000 of money collected from as
sessments and contributions throughout the
atate and was over 13,000 In the hole and
not a cent had been turned over to a sin
gle county organization to help In the fighl
It was putting up. In other words, the
money had all been absorbed in salaries
printing and postage without a dollar con
tributed or saved for getting the vote" reg
istered or getting It out to the polls en
electlcn day. Mr Munger directed Chair
man Uurgcjsa to shut down all of his Woir
and to stuy uninterruptedly ut headquar
ters to sign official papers. Mr. Munger
called Hurry Lindsay and others to his
assistance fur u lust supreme effort to cave
the governor. Money waa ralBvd for the
county organisations to insure bringing tr
voters to the polls, accu,nu;uteU corie
spondence at headquarters wus taken to
Lincoln for answer and a hundred wheels
set In motion to counteract the mlvchief
done by the opposition In their campa'grt
against thu governor. It waa agreed to
make Anal our appeal to republicans not
to let the state go back to populism, and
thlu one effective argument uted through
the press and in personal solicitation un
questionably turned the tide. During th a
period Mr. Burgess waa Indeed tractat e.
On my demand he at last issued the oft
refused call for the committee to meet
after election and would, doubtless, have
put his signature to a resignation had It
been required.
That Vermis Paper Deal.
One word more with reference to the
deal with the German pup.T about which
so much has been said. According to the
story told me by the publisher, his con
tract was made with Chairman Burgess
In the presence of the chief of the prebs
bureau, and he had no dealings with any
one el bo. He claims that hla contract pro
vided that hla paper should support repub
lican candidates for the legislature and up
hold the new revenue luw, and nothing
else; that It waa distinctly understood that
he was free to suivrt whom he pleased
for governor and for other offices. Mr.
Burgess exacted receipts from him for
every payment made. He was furnl-hed
with copy to be translated Into his pJfT.
none of which contained anything favor
able to Governor Mickey or bore outside of
the legislative contest, excepting a portrait
of Burgess himself. whlch he was asked
to Insert In his paper as a spec'' fvor
to help along his candidacy for congress
to succeed Mr. Burkett. He waa also fur
nished with name of German voters to
whom his porwr was sent.
If the resolutions expressing confidence
In Chairman Burgess are to be advertised
as resolutions expressing lack of confi
dence In thoe who picked up the plecea
and saved the day these f icts may clear
the atmosphere.

RUMORED MARINE DISASTER

LONDON. Nov. H. A news agency re
port from Brussels states that rumors are
afloat at Antwerp that the Red Star
steamer Kroonlnnd foundered In mldocean
Officials of the company deny all knowledge
of the alleged disaster and discredit the
rumors.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20 The officials of
the Red Star line brand as malicious Cie
rumor of the Kronniand founderlm. They
discredit the report and declare that the
Kroonland Is not due until Monday night
and as vessels arriving report heavy
weather It may not get here until Tues
day. KINGSTON. La., Nov. 2fl.-The Norweg
ian steamer Veritas, which arrived here
this morning from Santiago de Culm, re
ports that on Saturday It rescued three
men In a naphtha launch off Guantanamo.
The men were John Mnrtyn, a Jamaican;
Manuel Muerlllo, a Cuban, and Seraphim
Lopes, the engineer of the launch, also a
Cuban.
The three men left Guantanamo Wednes
day for a cruise along the coast. The ma
chinery of the boit became deranged nnd
an anchor was dropped, but the chain
parted during a heavy sea and the launch
was blown to sea In the direction of Santi
ago. The men signalled two steamers for
assistance, but the first failed to reply. The
Veritas answered, however, and took the
men on bonrd.
Martyn died as a result of exposure and
his body was Interred here. Muerlllo Is 111
from the effects of tho ordeal, but Lopes
Is well. The men had no food for four
days. Martyn had a revolver and threat
ened to commit suicide, but was restrained
by Lopez. The launch wns brought here.
At 8 o'clock tonight It was reported from
Long Beach that tugs had succeeded in
moving the Sicilian Prince tome distance,
but It was not clear. Reports Indicated
that there was little hope of getting the
steamship Into deep water tonight. Ef
forts will be continued at full tide about
6:30 tomorrow morning. Fire Island re
ported tonight that it had been hazy off
shore all day with slight westerly winds.
A moderate sea is running.
The Sicilian Prince went ashore shortly
before' the tide had reached Its height,
about 6 o'clock this morning, so that only
at high water are the tugs able to move It.
The Oak Island life saving station reported
tonight that the vessel Is resting easily.
TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 20. Torrents of
rain fell here last night and today, and
a high gale prevailed, but no marine dis
asters are reported. The wire to Tatoosh
Is down, but a terrific storm Is prevailing
off Cspe Flattery.'
Shipping men discredit the Victoria re
port of the wrecking of the barkentine
Makawell. It was laden with coal In Ta
coma, taking about 1,700 tons for Muzntlan,
Mexico. The story from Victoria of the
barkentine being over londed with deck
cargo and turning turtle Is probably un
true. The Mnkawell waa well down In the
water with coal and the rough dimension
lumber which Is being found along the
shores Is certuinly not from It.
Tho fact that a life buoy bearing the
Mukawell'a name has been carried ashore
Is no proof that the ship has gone to the
bottom. While nothing has been heard of
the Makawell since it sailed from Tacoma
on October 30, it is possible that It may
have been carried to the north in the high
gales.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The Prince line
steamer Sicilian Prince, from Genoa and
Naples, lies aground tonight on the Long
Island shore, one mile went of the Long
Beach life saving station. The steamer
stranded Just before daylight this morn
ing and all efforts throughout the day to
get the fhlp Into deeper water have proved
futile.
Four Htgs are standing by the versel
and with hawsers made fast to bow and
etern by tholr united efforts are keeping
it from being washed further on the
beach.
An attempt was made to float the Sicilian
Prince at flood tide ubout 5 o'clock this
afternoon, and with the assistance of Its
own engines It moved about 1,000 feet, but
still hold fast to the randy bottom. The
vessel lies easily on the beach. There is
little surf and hardly any wind, and unless
a storm breaks it Is expected the ship will
be pulled off the bar at flood tide In the
morning. Should this etempt fall the 600
steerage and twelve cabin passengers will
be taken off on steamboats or tugs and
brought to this city and the cargo will be
lightered. The vessel Ilea 300 yards off
shcre In about eighteen feet of water.
The Sicilian Prince Is fourteen days out
from Italian porta and has about Cot) Ital
ian emlgranta In the steerage. An un
usually fust trip had been made, and when
it struck this morning It was making about
twelve knots.
The beach on which the Sicilian Prince
grounded Is marked by several wrecks of
vessels that have gone ashore In the pnt
flvo or six years.
Late tonight It was reported the Sicilian
Prince was a. Ill resting easily. There was
somewhat more surf thanduring the day
and the veanel was rolling, but there wus
every assurance it would be floated in the
morning. The passengers were not in any
alarm and at no time was th re any panic
or fright manifest.

W. Taylor, chief of agriculture, with a
view of having the president nnd his party
stop a moment at the Nebraska theater
and view the moving picture which shows
the late President McKinley at the Omaha
Transmlsslsslppl exposition. The presi
dent's pnrty will be conducted through
each building by the chief of that building
anf consequently Mr. Taylor will lead the
party through his exhibit palace. As Mr.
Taylor Is a Nebraskan and deeply Inter
ested In all that pertains to the success of
the Nebraska exhibit, he may be relied
upon to advance his state's Interest in
this matter In every way he Is able. It Is
believed that this moving picture of the
late President McKinley, which Is said to
be the only moving picture of the martyred
president In existence, will Interest Presi
dent Roosevelt. If the president's pnrty
can be persuaded to spend more than a few
minutes In the theater the rang? scenes
depicting the branding of cattle, the rid
ing of bucking bronchos and other scenes
familiar to the president will be given.
The recent poultry show held nt the
exposition, which Is recognized as tho
largest display of fine birds ever held,
afforded the first opportunity for western
fanciers to compete for prizes with the
eastern breeders nnd breeders of foreign
countries. Notwithstanding the fact that
over 12,000 birds were on exhibition, that
over a carload of fine breeds were
brought from Canada, alone and several
hundred birds from Europe, the western
states won the lion's share of the awards.
In these awards Nebraska won n signal
victory, receiving more premiums to the
number of birds entered and shown than
any other state in the union, and selling

ticulture will be made until December 1, he

APPEALS FOR THE UNIVERSITY
Cardinal tilbbons Issues t'lrcnlar to
the Clergy of the
Country.
WASHINGTON, Nov. t0. In accordance
with an understanding reached at the re
cent meeting of the board of trustees of
the Catholic university, Cardinal Gibbons
today gave to the press the following offi
cial letter addressed to the Catholic clergy:
The board of trustees of the Catholic
university of America, at Its meeting April
14, 1!M, unanimously adopted the following
lesolution:
"Resolved. That his eminence, the chan
cellor of the Catholic university of Amer
ica, be requested to write nnd to send to
the hierarchy of the I'nited States one
month before the first Sunday of Advent.
1!4. a letter of thanks for the Interest
taken In the collection for the university
in 19113 and asking them to kindly keep up
their generous solicitude for this worthy
object by recommending It to the reverend
clergy and the laity of their respective
Jurisdictions."
In pursuance of this action of the trus
tees I desire to atate that the contribu
tions received from sever.ty-slx dioceses
amounted to Slu5,n0l. This generous re
sponse of our clergy snd people to the ex
presn wish of the sovereign polntifT Is an
evidence both of cheerful obedience to the
holy see. and of generous devotion to their
pastors. It is also gratifying and en
couraging to the trustees that in wide
spread an Interest should thus be munl
. fested In the welfare of the university,
wnicn, as It embodies the highest form of
Catholic learning. Is the most Important
undertaking of the hierarchy In View of the
general good. In the name of the trustees,
as In mV OWn. 1 tAnrlor Vnn vmic nl.rifu
'jn(1 our r'eo,,, grateful "acknowledgment
.... mr i-iir.it- you nsvp inKen in tne fur
therance of thN great work.
With the collection and with donations
rrom various sources the recslpts of the
university for last year, apart from Its
regular income, amounted to $150, w. Of
this j-3.MkI was employed In the payment
of debts, ISO, mo was Invested and the re
mainder was used to meet current expenses.
As a result there was no detlclt last vear,
nor Is there at present any floating debt.
1 he amount donated by the Knights of
Columbus, and not Included In the receipts
mentioned above, was 5o,0uo. This was
also Invested, making a total Investment
of llOO.imo. The funds were placed for in
vestment In the hands of ihe finance com
mittee appointed last year Wi3 and com
posed of gentlemen who enjoy the highest
reputation for Integrity and business
ability. The entire amount therefore, re
sulting from the collection is absolutely
free from the complications and risks to
which, ns you doubtless have learned
through the press, the general endowment
of the university has recently been ex
posed. Regarding the actual situation. I deem
It my duty to Inform vnu that the funds
hitherto handled b the treasurer of- the
university aggregates JSiil.OuO. The dis
posal of these funds In no wav Involves
the property of the university, Its lands,
bulldlnKS or eoulnment. The fiimU th..o..
selves are protected bv securities which
It Is confidently believed will in any equit
able settlement Insure the university
agilnst serious loss.
On the other hand pending the final ad
justment of all claims now In litigation
the university Is In a large measure de
prived of the revenues which have hereto
fore been available for Its woik. This U
the more regrettable at the present time
when the university should be eo strength
ened and developed aa to attract our
Catholic young men and withdraw them
from non-Catholic institutions. With tne
utmost economy as now practiced In every
department, the income le not sufilcient
for the necessary expenses.
Tho foregoing statement will naturally
suggest a variety of reflections, but what
Is really needed Just now is practical sym
pathy and generous co-operation. This. I
am Ijappy to say, has been shown by the
trustees and by friends of the university.
The amounts which they have guaranteed,
together with the next annual colleotlon,
which it is hoped will equal if not exceed
that of last year, will enable us to Invest
a considerable sum after all current ex
penses are paid. Moreover, a system of
financial administration has been adopted
that for the future will render the man
agement of the funds absolutely secure.
With the assistance of the hierarchy, in
the manner Indicated by the holy father
we feel confident that the university will
be placed on a sound financial basis. In
Justice to those who, us Individuals or as
associations have endowed the university,
wo should see that the work is continued.
Our Catholic people, I sincerely Lelve.
will aid liberally In supporting an insti
tution founded by the American episcopn e
for the common good of the clergy and
laity In all our d.oroae.i.
To our non-Catholic fellow citizens, our
united efforts of the university under
existing circumstance:; will plainly show
that we have at heart the best interests
of education and that we are not to be
thwarted by difficulties
As I am prepared to do all In my p3wer
to build up the university and determined
to guarantee It ngulnst ell I es. e ven at
the eaciltlce of all I poss ss, I feel araured
that you and your cieigy will ad ihls
sacred cuuse by an earnest appeal to tha
generosity of the pecple under your charge
and by personal sympathy for the wo.k
to which this collect on Is applied.
The holy father In his letter on the sub
ject last year directed that this annual
collection be taken upon the first Bund ly
of Advnt, or on the first convenient Sun
day thereafter.

TWO ENTIRE FAMILIES ARE WIPED OUT
Police Arc t nable to l.earn Anything;
of Origin of the Fire from rlgh
bore or Other Occupants
of nalldlng.
NEW YORK. Nov. JO. Smothered before
they could retch the rear tire escape in
a burning tenement building at li Trout
man street In the Williamsburg district of
Brooklyn, twelve persons met death shortly
before t o'clock this morning. Two en
tire families, those of Maranlo Trlolo and
Charles Pologalo, are wiped nut, the lat
living member of each being now in a
hospital with no hope of recovery and
Charles Pognoll, 33 years old. and Tony
Trlolo, 13, 'both of whom are terribly
burned.
Although In the opinion of the coroner
all the dead were suffocated, the bodlei
were badly burned before they could be
taken from the ruins by the flrtmen.
The burned tenement house Is In the
center of a row of three-story tenement
extending the length of the block and
was occupied by Italians. The fire Is sup
posed to have started In the cellar of the
grocery store of Antonio Glnmbalos, on the
ground floor.
The cellar waa stored with Inflammable
material and the flames spread with light
ning like rapidity. All the occupants war
asleep at the time and there was consid
erable delay In sending in the first alarm.
The Olambolos family lived on the first
floor and succeeded In getting out, but be
fore the occupants on the two other floors
had been aroused their escape was cut off.
Before the firemen had arrived the fir
had communicated to the adjoining tene
ment, but the tenants all escaped. The
work of the firemen was greatly hampered
for a time by tho crowds of frightened
Italians who filled the streets. The ten
ants in nearly all the neighboring build
ings dragged their household goods out
of the buildings and with them blocked
the way of the fire apparatus.
All the bodies were found In tho rear
room of the third floor, and It waa evi
dent that all had been suffocated in their
effort to reach the fire escape at the back
of the building. The two who wete res
cued were found In the lower hallway soon
after the firemen reached the scene.
Working their way through the building,
the rescuers dlfcovered the heap of dead
on the third floor and within a short time
succeeeded In taking out nine bodies, but
the last was not found until after 8 o'olocit
thlB morning.
In his intervals of consciousness Poglo
nlo cries for his wife and children and It
Is feared the knowledege of their death
will kill him and he has not been told of
their fate.
In their investigation aa to he origin
of the fire the police huve been unable to
obtain a statement of any kind from neigh
boring tenants. The street about the
burned building has been crowded with
Italians all day, but the police report that
every one questioned regarding the persons
burned or the occupants of the building
has refused tqmake any answer. It was
with great difficulty that the names of the
victims could be obtained.
