Telephone No. 20. 143 PERISH II FIRE Fear-Crazed Girls Leap by ScoreFrom 10th Story. Nearly All of the Victims Were Em ployed by a New York Shirt Waist Company There Was Not an Out aide Fire Escape on the Building, Which Was Supposed to Be Fire Proof Cigarette Smoking Blamed For Disaster. One hundred and forty-three souls nine-tenths of them ' girls from the East Side of New York were crushed to death on the pavements, smothered by smoke or shrivelled to crisps Sat urday afternoon In the worst fire New York has known since the steamship General ' Slocura was burned to the water's edge off North Brothers' Island In 1904. Nearly all, if not all, of the victims were employed by the Triangle Waist company on the eighth, ninth and tenth floors of a 10-story loft building at 23 Washington Place, on the west ern fringe of the downtown wholesale clothing, fur and millinery district. There was not an outside fire escape on the building. How the fire started perhaps never will be known. A corner on the eighth floor was its point of origin and the three upper floors only were swept. On the ninth floor 50 bodies were found; 63 or more persons were crushed to death by jumping and more than 30 clogged the elevator shafts. The loss to property will not exceed $100,000. Rain of Death From Windows. In such a horrible stream did the bodies overflow from the windows that the fire nets, stretched by the first companies to arrive, were soon gorged beyond capacity. Twelve bodies weighted one net to the burst ing point, but the bodies kept on tumb ling to the pavement, through meshes that could no longer support them. When the first breath of flame curled over the edge of a pile of shirting on the eighth floor, five min utes before quitting time, hundreds were In line before the cashier's win dow. In the office building across Wash ington place scores of men detained beyond office hours, worked at their desks. One of them saw a girl rush to a window and throw up the sash. Be hind her danced a seething curtain of yellow flames. She climbed to the sill, stood In black outline against the light, hesi tating, then, with a last touch of fu tile thrift, slipped her chatelaine bag over her wrist and Jumped. Her body went whirling downward through the woven wire glass of a canopy to the flagging below. Flame Through Air Like Rockets. Her sisters who followed flamed through the air like rockets. Their path could be followed but hardly heard. It was 85 feet from the eighth floor to the ground, about 93 feet from the ninth floor, 115 feet from the cor nice of the roof and the upward rush of the draught and the crackle of the flames drowned their cries. During the early morning hours Sun day firemen who had begun to wade through the water In the base ment before It had been pumped out felt around in the water under n hole In the sidewalk vault lights of Creene street, e hole made by falling bodies, many times, but discovered nothing hene.'.th the surface of the water - One of the firemen happened to look upwards while passing the spot and so i'ound two bodies of young women, beneath which he and his companions had walked many times since daylight. Disaster Laid to Cigarettes. Max Blanck, one of the proprietors or the Triangle company, told the re porters that it was against orders to smoke In their lofts. The reporters while clambering over the debris on the eighth floor at the place where tho fire started saw amid the half burned pocketbooks, shoes and other bits of clothing, a scorched cigarette box. In another part of the building were a number of half-smoked cigar ettes lying on the floor. Around some of the bodies of the men who Jumped and in the pockets of their clothes wire quantities of matches. Chief Croker said that he believed the fire was caused by a smoker who tossed cither a match or a lighted cigarette on the floor among the piles of inflammable flimsy stuff UBed In the manufacture of waists and lingerie. Heads Propped Up In Coffins. Except In the cases, and there were many of them, where bodies had been burned until they were merely shriv eled black masses, the heads of the dead were propped up in the uncov ered cofiins so ' that Identification might be made easier. At one time Dr. Brown who was assisting the cor oners timed en'rr.nce of the visitors to the morgue and found that in the earlier hours people passed on to the pier at the rate of 100 a minute.

McLoughlin, 30 yer.rs old, win has no permanent home i-o far as can be learned, was found lead In the station of the Bath & Ham inondsporl railway Btation at Pleas ant Valley, near Hammondsport, N.

SEEKDICKINSON PRESIDENCY Presbyterians Urging Candidate to Head College They Once Controlled. Carlisle, Pa., March 28. Speculation as to the succession to Dr. George Ed ward Reed in the presidency of Dick inson college has become a systematic diversion locally. The latest man sug gested' Is Dr. William Perry Eveland, president of Williamsport Dickinson seminary, who is recognized as a capa ble executive and has an immense circle of friends. There have been rumors that prom inent and wealthy Presbyterians rep resenting the church which had con trol of Dickinson before the Method ists got control almost three score years ago will suggest to the Dickin son board of trustees the name of a distinguished Presbyterian to succeed Dr. Reed with a view to getting the co-operations of Presbyterians of ruoans In increasing Dickinson's grow ing usefulness. In Dickinson's case, as In that of practically all colleges, there Is a debt to take care of. The Incoming executive probably will be relieved of much of the enormous mass of detail work which Dr. Reed has carried on for nearly a quarter century in order that large sums of money may be raised.
