Carried Five Counties in New York
Five counties alone in New York
remained faithful to the suffrage
cause, Tompkins, Chautauqua, Niaga-

small majorities favoring the amend

cause by 20,000, and nearly every
other county rendered large anti mas
jorities.
Of the cities of the state, Ithaca
Jamestown, Schenectady and Niagara
Falls remained faithful to the cause.
Following New York's lead, Buffalo,
Rochester, Yonkers, Auburn, Troy,
Utica and Rome rejected the amend:
ment by substantial majorities.
In greater New York, Brooklyn
gave a margin of 30,000 adverse votes.
Manhattan gave approximately 490,000

the largest number of votes that have
been cast for us in any state.

“Whatever the result in New York,

win.”
N. Y. CONSTITUTION BEATEN
Republicans Retain Legislature and
Make Gain in State.
New York, Nov. 4.—The proposed
new constitution, prepared after
weeks of labor by the state constitu:
tional convention, presided over by
Elihu Root, was rejected by approxi:
mately 300,795 votes in Tuesday's
election.
The defeat of the constitution has
its influence on the future of Mr.
Root. Leaders express the belief
that the overwhelming defeat of the
measure means that Mr. Root is vir
tually eliminated as a Republican
presidential possibility. He had de:
voted much time and thought to re
modeling the constitution.
The legislature will be virtually
the same compiexion as it was this
year, politically, the senate, to which
only onc member was elected, re
mains unchanged. The assembly,
which contained 29 Republicans, this
year, will have 98 next year. One
Progressive, a Socialist and fifty Dem:
ocrats will complete the body. It has
been three years since there was a
Socialist in the assembly.
Tammany made a clean sweep of
the city and county tickets. Judge
Edward Swann, Democratic candidate
for district attorney, won over Dis.
trict Attorney Perkins by about 50,
000 plurality. Former Assemblyman
Alfred E. =~mith, Tammany candidate
for sherii’, heat his opponent, Frank
M. Bowers, by about 23,000 votes, cut:
ting into Perkin’s strength for about
that much, according to Republican
opinion.

There were no fire escapes on the
outside of the huilding, but wide stair-
ways at either end of the interior
led down to the front exit. Under
| fire drill, the children were marched
through constantly thickening clouds
of smoke to the ground floor, when
the leaders lost their heads.
Instead of passing out the rear ex:
it, according to rule, they made a
dash for the front door and became
jammed in the vestibule. Meantime
the fire had eaten its way upward
from directly under the front en:
trance and the vestibule crowded
with pupils presently was enveloped
in flames. 5
Firemen with two lines - of hose
made 2 rush at the doorway and tried
to fight their way in. A sudden sweep
of draft sent the flames so fairly in
their faces that they were beaten
back. They raade a seccnd try, this
i time throwing over the tangle of
| small hodies a number of heavy rub
ber blankets. Then from outside the
door and as near as ‘they could get,
they directed a stream of water upon
the blankets in a desperate hope of
keepin: of the flames till rescue
could be made.
But in a short time, so desperately
swift was the progress of the fire, ef
forts of the firemen were needed else
where. They turned over one of the
hoses to Timothy O’Connor, a police:
man. He forced his way to the door
way and there stood, spraying the
water over the blanket-covered heap.
The walls above the policeman
trembled and threatened to fall, but
he stood his ground, his face blister
ed by the licat. The steady work oi
i the hose in O’Connor’'s hand kept
back the fiames that crept along the
floor toward the bodies and made
possible the saving of life.
