' At Mcllugh's direction the. girls hung by their liandu from the platform and dropped the twenty-five feet to the street. Nearly all were safely caught by firemen and other rescuers. Harry Bunnell, a M-year-old hero, ran Into the building and dragged a girl down the stairs from the hallway on the third floor. Thomas Ftukcs, an employe "f a coal ard across the street, aided in catching girls who dropped from the lower fire es cape landing, lie caught one girl in his amis who had Jumped from the third floor and bore the shock, so firmly that nil escaped injury. Owing to the roar of the sewing ma clilnes In the Wolf factory on the fourtn floor, the explosion was not heard. The first warning the girls at the building had was furnished by smoke spouting through the floor and the crackling of flames In the hallway. The elevator man ran hia car to the top floor, but appears to have run It down again without making any effort at reecua,'" Kscape Is I'nt Off. Before tlie Wolf employes knew there was a fire In the building, the wooden stairway leading frouv she third to the fourth floors was aBla't.1- Escape by that avenue was Impossible. " The stairway fell, in fact the burning board and balustrades dropped clear to the ground floor before a stream of water was put on the building. The flames literally spouted through the floor of the Wolf fact ry from the floor below. The door of the-levator shaft and the doom leading to the hall were open. Vhen the panic stricken girls opened the windows on the three side of the Wolf wotkronm, they created a draught that sucked the fire up from below and mush roomed It against the room. Tle fire had gathered its direct harvest of death within ten minutes after the ex plosion on the third floor. The fatally In-' Jured wei then on their way- to the hos pitals, or were in the hands of hospital surgeons. Itts. 10 vans and (Jotigb, of the City hos pital risked their own lives in efforts to get to the Injured. The heavy laden floors of the factory were the flrkt to fall into the cellar.

Chief Astlcy would not allow his men Inside the walls until experts had pronounced them safe for thf time being. A dotrn firemen were Injured In fight ing the Muse. The members of the fire department worked fiautically to rescue the girls at the windows and crowded on the fire escapes, but the flames spread too rapidly. Even after the entire build ing was abtuze, firemen rushed Into the lower ..floors and climbed upon the fire escaiKS in the hope of tavlng some who Wi-re Mill alive.

Men rushed from neighboring factories and business build ings, and spread Improvised life nets of wagon covers nnd coats and several of the girls who leaped from the upper win dows were saved by thexe expedients. Pathetic scenes attended the transporta tion of dying and injured to the hospi tals. Crowds of men and women, among them relatives of workers in the building, followed the hurrying vehicles, wringing their hands and wailing with anguish. The tragedy occurred so swiftly that every manner of vehicle was used to carry the Injured to hospitals and to the homes of nearby physicians. The four am bulances of the city hospital carried twelve Injured girls on their first trip and two of the sufferers died on the way. Priests Aid In t Rescue Priests who mingled with the crowds climbed Into the ambulances to offer the consolation of their religion to the dying. Other priests who had hurried to the scene of the fire assisted the firemen in carrying the Injured in their arms to bt Michael's hospitals, several blocks away. St. Michael s hospital Is a private lnsll tutlon and has no ambulances. The ten woman carried there were borne In the arms of foremen, policemen, priests and citizen. . The nuns of Ft. Michael's ran out to meet them and helped them bear the burdens Into the building. Wards and private rooms were made ready with,, all 'possible haste and every available phy slciatt'ln, the neighborhood was summoned to the aid of the hospital staff. , One young woman, who had Jumped from a fourth story of the factory building, died while being carried Into Kt. Michael's. Three others who were terribly Injured In tlie some manner, were seen to be past aid and priests were called to their bedsides. The arrival of thirty-one injured women at the city hospital in a procession of am bulances and other vehicles and followed by a crowd of anguished relatives and friends, caused the greatest excitement along Fairmont avenue. There were not nurses and attendants enough In the build ing to meet the task, and the work of preparing cots and wards proceeded slowly, notwithstanding that the entire neighbor hood turned out to holp. Many women hurried from their homes to offer what aid they could to the over worked hospital staffs. Ilesd and Injured In Heaps. Titer were, literally heaps of Injured mingled with the dead and dying on the pavement and In the alley when the first ambulances arrived from the City hos pital. The fire was still burning fiercely and tlie air was filled with a confusion of shrieks and cries that rose above the clamor of the fir engines and the shouts of th flrnin. Th young Internes on the ambulances worked swiftly and silently. On the way to tlie hospital the sur geuns and drivers yeled to every paslng automobile to hurry to the fire and serve aa ambulances. At least a doson .touring cars responded to this call and trans ported Injured girls and women, many of whom begged to ttiken home instead of to the hospitals Within half un hour after the Injured and" dying began to arrive at the City hospital, the crowds of grief stricken re latives blocked tha streets. Hundreds of children ran about shrieking for moth ers und sisters, poured Into the corri dors of the hospital and aded to the con fusion. The police detailed to handle eth throngs at tlie two hospitals were en tlrely lnaduquate. Men and children fought their way Into the hospital wards In search of stricken relatives.

When half a dr.n police entered the City hospital to ciesr the corridors they met with frenxled opposition. Age 1 women fought frantically t gain the bedsides of their daughters. The priests and clergy who had flocked to the hospitals prevailed where, the po lice failed, and nianegod to lead the grlef-niaddened throngs from the wards and corridors. tm of Death Sprrnds Swiftly. The news of a death m the hospital spread swiftly to the crowd outside, and when the total of reported deaths had reached five, the anxious hundreds stoui peded against the doorways to learn the names of those added to the death lost. Lr. J. C. Howard, pastor of the lialsey Street Methodist LpJscopul church and city chaplain of Newark, was among the first group of clergyman to arrive at the City hospital. He summoned his curates and all of his pailshoners capable of min istering to the injured. He also called to the hospital the Ki-v. Knoch Meacham, pastor of the Trinity Methodist Episcopal church and half a dozen priests and clergy men of other denominations. There were similar scenes at St. Mich ael's hospital, and even greater crowds until a list of the Injured was recovered by a priest and th,e anxlonus relatives were told to seeTt Information at the City hospi tal or at the nearest police precinct. Two brothers of Alice Melden, theeoond victim of the fire to die In Hi. Michael s hospital, arrived a few minutes after their '. sister had expired. As they passed through ; the doorway they heard one reporter say to another: I "The Melden girl has Just died." "Do you mean Alice ileiuenc assea me voung brother, a lad of about 16. The re- porter assented, whereupon the boy nltched over In a swoon. While he was being cared for, Miss Jane Kaiser of W0 Oransre street, arrived to inquire about the fate of her daughter, one workers for the Wolf company. of the One of the survivors met her at the door and exclaimed: "Oh, Mrs. Kaiser, Mary Is all right, she got out without a scratch.''

Fireman O. U. Urown was wasliing the front windows of the ground floor of the building occupied by Engine Company No. 4, which Is located directly opposite the scene of the fire. He was on the inside or the building when he saw one of the girls from the Waif factory rush into the street screaming. He ran out to Intercept her and In hysterical tones she told that there was a fire upstairs. Hastily he turned In an alarm. Fireman Urown corroborates Chief Anstley's statement. He says that five minutes were lost in turning In the alarm while the employes were trying to extinguish the blaze. As soon as Fireman Brown had given the alarm he rushed across the street closely followed by Lieutenant Dargen. The two men clambered upone 'of the fire escapes, the only ones with which the building Is equipped. The fire escape the mounted Is located at the northwest corner of the building. The other is In the rear. Drnaaed Thronab Windows. Forty girls were standing In the windows on the fourth floor chrleklng for help. A number of them stoow behind a closed window, .which In their fright they had failed to open. Fireman Brown kicked the window In and held out his hands for the Boris to take hold. The girls were so frightened that they stoow as If in a daze. He caught several and dragged them through the broken window one by one and handed them to lieutenant Dargan, who passed them on to the others. Thus, forty glrls.i all of them crowded about the wln dows were led out of the building and down to safety. The flames were pouring out of the windows by the time tlie laat girl within reach had been taken out, and Fireman Brown, waiting for a lull In the billows of flame, thrust his head Into the window to see if there were any more in sight. A huge volume of flame-licked smoke en veloped him and he dropped back, choking and blinded. A rush of flames forced him to beat a retreat to the floor below. "By that time," said Brown, "the girls were Jumping from every window. It waa the most awful sight I have ever seen. I, never saw a fire spread so fast once It got started. Before we could reach the girls in the windows over the fire escapes the flames were licking the woodwork. It's a wonder to me none of them lost their heads and Jumped like those other poor creatures." Man and Daaghtrr Darned. NEW YORK, Nov. 26. James Clark, a storekeeper of the Bronx, stumbled and fell today as he was carrying a lighted kero sene stove and the burning oil saturated his clothes. Ills married daughter, Mrs. Annie Hunt, wrapped him In her arms in an effort to smother the flames, but suc ceeded only In setting her own clothes on fire. Both were burned severely and neither Is expected to recover. Georgiana McHIroy, 4 years old. spied the remains of a doll's chair in a burning heap of rubbish this afternoon and rushed Into the fire to rescue it. Her skirts caught fire and she was burned beyond hopes of re covery. Engineer's Death Accidental. CH1SHOLM.

"Uncle." the patron saint of the needy. Is In grave dnnger of falling be fore "Auntie." a new goddess, who has recently made her appearance In the gov ernment's departments. The loan sharks who for years have grown fat on the shekels of their needy fellows and work ers In the government service, have been thrown Into consternation by a sudden Influx of female Shylocks who have started to ply their trade under the cloak of the civil service. For many years the more or less openly conducted traffic. In usury In the various departments have been manipulated by male clerks. From time to time, reports have come from the departments that the business is dead." Employes have been warned that they must stop shearing their unfortunate fellow workers or lose their Jobs. As far as can be learned, the only effect the orders have had has been to cause the lenders to be more secretive In their activities. Within a fortnight of the Issurance of th orders they have resumed operations. The Women Were Tempted. It is understood that the women were first tempted to enter the ranks of the 'sharks" because there was a growing demand for small loans among their sis ters w ho happened to he short. Not only was there an element of embarrassment in borrowing from men, but the latter wore at times unwilling to deal with women because of the difficulties which have arisen In the past when attempts were made to collect. One spinster, who has worked in an up town department for many years and has carefully wived a part of her salary, con ceived the idea that the women should be Independent In money matters as well as In others and forthwith let It be known inai sue wouia assist any or her occJ qualntances who might be "temporarily embarrassed." Her example was followed by other solicitous sisters. All Know the "Auntie." From the State, War and Navy building to the library of congress there Is borely a division of any department that cannot boast of at least one "auntie." There has been no cut In the rate of in terest. A loan of $M for thirty days costs the borrower 12. A larger loan may at times be had at a slightly redured rate, while smaller amounts may be had at a proportionately higher rate. The greatest borrowers are young women holding positions which pay from iM to T5 per niqjith, and who live with their parents, thereby having practically no expenses ex cept for clothes. Furs, Jewelry and other accessories of dress are responsible for a great part of their Indebtedness. The young women who work for Uncle Sara are said to b the best dressed female wage earners In the country. On this weakness the "aunties" reap their harvests. Tennessee Whltkr Act Valid.

Democrats Discuss Plans for Conference Chairman Mack and Congressman Clark Are Arrajiginfr Plant for Biff Powwow. BAI.TIMOTtK, Nov. 18 At a conference held between Chairman Norman K. Mack, Congressman Champ Clark and prominent Maryland democratlo leaders it was de cided that a meeting in th nature of a celebration of the recent democratic vic tory should be called. It probably will be held here early In January, either just be fore or just after the usual Jackson day celebration on January S. It probably will be continued during the afternoon of one day, with a banquet In th evening. Under no circumstances Is It to be continued for more than two days. This conclusion was reached after It had been made plain that no man was to be pushed to the front and that no outline of a legislative program was to be attempted. ATTACK ON TAFT THWARTED (Continued from First I'age. ) will be attacking the members of the lower house of congress. At this point Chairman Scott said the committee in its deliberations had not dis cussed politics and K. S. Conway of Chi cago, first vice president of the association, counseled moderation, by advising th elimination of the entire section. "It Is not always best to express publicly our private opinions," he told the con vention. Ilslnr (loses Debate. Congressman Italny closed tho debate by seconding Congressman Bartholdt's amend ment and remarking that "the powers now have a salutary warning." Other resolutions, which were adopted, demand of congress t waterway connecting the Oreat Lakes with the Gulf of Mexico as the main artery of our navigation sys tem, to provide for an Initial depth of not less than fourteen feet, with lock sills adapted to a depth of not less than twenty four feet. "And we hold," the section read, "that the advocacy of any less depth by federal engineers has arisen In a desire to circumvent our efforts and defeat our main purpose of Improving transportation by an adequate system of commercial naviga tion." The section which caused the debate was a part of section 8 of the resolutions. As adopted, section I reads: "Expressing appreciation of the action of the Sixty-first congress In making a con ditional appropriation for the lakes to the gulf deep waterway an appreciation in full measure of the merit of that modest appropriation we declare our need for more liberal appropriation for this purpose by the congress." The old officers of the association, In cluding President W. K. Kavanangh of St. Louis, Treasurer George II, Munroe of Joliet, III., and the former vie presidents, were re-elected. During the afternoon Philip Werleln of New Orleans and John P. Irish of San Francisco told of the advantages of their clMes for holding the Panama exposition In 1915.
