LAWYER GIVES LIFE TO SAVE OTHERS FROM DEATH AMID FLAMES Louis Silverman Trapped in Burning House at 708 Pine St. While Men and Women He Warned Make Hard Fight to Escape. A young lawyer sacrificed his life today to save other occupants of his burning homo at 70S Pine Btrot. His body was found charred almost beyond recognition In a third-story room, after thoso ho aroused had escaped or were rescued by firemen. A half hour later his fiancee, frantic with grief, tried to kill herself. A four-months-old baby was thrown from the third-floor window and caught, unharmed, by a policeman. One man Jumped from tho third floor and is In the Pennsylvania Hospital with serious In ternal Injuries, and a man nnd his wife, their clothing nblazc, were carried down ladders by- firemen. The dead man was I.ouls Silverman. Ho had offices in tho Commonwealth Trust Biiildlnir. 12th and Chesfnutatrets. Hal fcalMaacd&enariMws P4llllne'lt!mWWwwvfeTtimr Cohen, 627 South stteet. ' Miss Cohen became hysterical when she, learned that Silverman wns dead. She ran to the second floor of her home, tied ono end of a veil around her neck, and tried to hang herself from a gas Jet, but relatives, who had followed, pre vented her from doing herself nny In jury. Silverman nnd Miss Cohen were to have been married In June. The fire Is believed to have started be neath the stairway leading to tho sec ond floor. It burned through that floor and was attacking the third-floor stair way when Silverman was aroused. Tongues of flames were working through one flight of stairs leading from the third floor when Silverman awoke. He ran to tho head of the stairway and then turned back to arouse the other occupants of the house. Dr. Nathan Blumberg, the owner, heard Silverman's shout and aroused his wife. They carried their four-month-old baby to a third-floor front window. The child was wrapped in blankets and dropped from a window. Jacob Herman, who also had a room on the third floor, Joined Dr. and Mrs. Blumberg, but as the flames approached the front of the house he decided not to wait, and risked tho Jump to the sidewalk. He was picked up un conscious and taken to the hospital. Just what happened to Silverman after he aroused the others Is not known. It Is thought he started for the second floor In the belief that there might be somo one asleep there, but was driven back by the flames. By that time the hallway from the rear to the front rooms also was filled with flames and smoke, and Silver man probably found himself trapped In a rear room. There he died. By the time firemen arrived the entire building was In flames. Dr, and Mrs. Blumberg were hanging out the third story front window, almost hidden by the thick clouds-of smoke billowing Continued on Fate Two PENN TEAMS PLAY FIRST NINEINNING GAME TODAY Team' A" Pof eats Team B, by Score of 6 to-3, on Franklin Field, University of Pennsylvania baseball men had their. flrst nlne-Innlng game of the year on Franklin Field this after noon.

If he does return to the game, how over, It will be at a decided Increase In salary over the remuneration he received last year as a member of the champion Athletics of the American League. The club that gets his services, ho said, "will have to want him a whole lot." "You mean you'll want more salary?" he was asked. "That's It." he replied. "Will a 12000 Increase do?" "I'll want much more than that," he said. "I hate traveling and It will take more than that to get back Into IL I'd .hate awfully to have to play with any other club than the Athletics, though.

The latest spring creation In"' the way of headgear topped oft a diaphanous skirt of White, clinging material. White satin pumps failed to conceal very much of white, silk-clad ankles. A number of promenaders who were among the crowd following the "summer girl" In February thought she might have mistaken Broad Street Station for Palm Beach.
