By Associated Press
Boston, April 14.—Seven persons
were killed, sixteen seriously injured,
twenty-one families, totalling seventy
five individuals were endangered in
an early morning fire that wrecked
the Melvin, a five-story brick apart
ment house at the corner of Common
wealth and Long avenues ill the All-
Ston district.
Nearly all of the suites wero small
kitchenette apartments in which the
occupants were trapped us the flames
raced through each story. Men,
women and children were standing on
window ledges shrieking for help
when the firemen arrived. Some
reached the ground by crawling along
narrow copings to fire escapes. Others
managed to reach small balconies on
the front of the house from which
they were taken down ori fire lad
ders.
It was not until hours after the
blaze had been extinguished that tho
casualty list could be made up. The
dead:
Mrs. C. L. Shackford.
Mrs. H. E. Bemis.
Mrs. F. C. Beharrell sister of Mrs.
Bemis.
James Raymond Power, Mrs. Power
and their infant son.
Miss Mary Connors, Mrs. Power's
maid.
Mrs. Shackford and Mrs. Bemis met
death by jumping, one from the fourth
floor and the other from the fifth.
The bodies of the other victims wero
found on the fifth floor, two hours
after the discovery of the fire. All
had been suffocated.
Origin In Basement.
The fire started in the basement,
near a waste pa-°r chute and the
flames shot rapidly up through this
chute and elevator wall. The whole
building was ablaze when the firemen
arrived. Miss May Boyd, living next
door, was the first to see the fire,.
While another neighbor rang in an
alarm Miss Boyd rushed into the
burning building and rang tho bells
In all the suites. The occupants were
quickly roused. Many were able to
escape by the stairways. Others used
the fire escapes in tl.e rear until
flames made this impossible. The
firemen carried a number of men and
women down ladders. Several per
sons jumped- from upper floors into
the life nets.
Trapped on the fourth floor, Mr.
and Mrs. Clement R. Rogers and Mrs.
Robert Adams hastily fashioned a
rope from bedclothing and let them
selves down to the ground.
No one had time to dress and there
was considerable suffering from ex
posure in the chill air of the early
morning. The survivors found shelter
in nearby apartment houses.
The State police later in the day
began an investigation in an effort to
determine the cause of the Aire.

U. 8. DISTRICT COURT'
GRITS THAW WRIT
OF HABEAS CORPUS
No Order Was Issued, However,
For Discharge of Prisoner
at Present Time
fly Associated Press
Concord, N. H., April 14.— Harry!
Kendall Thaw's petition for a writ of
habeas corpus was granted by Judge I
Edgar Aldrich, of the United States]
District Court, to-day.
The court said, however, that no;
order would be issued for the prison- j
er's discharge from custody until ar- J
rangements had been completed to j
take the case to the United States Su
preme Court on appeal.
Thaw's petition for admission to
bail, the court left undetermined, tak
ing the ground that it would be more
appropriate for this to be passed upon
by the Supreme Court.
The result of the decision is that
Thaw's guardianship and condition
will be unchanged for the present; but
that his petition fora whit of habeas
corpus will go to the highest court
in the land with a decision of the lower
court in his favor.
The decision filed with the clerk of
the court here makes more than 10,-
000 words and discusses exhaustively
the various phases of the case.
Placed Under Arrest
When the slayer of Stanford White
entered this State last September after
his deportation from. Canada, he was
arrested by the State authorities. To
prevent his extradition to New York
his attorneys petitioned for a writ of
habeas corpus, this proceeding auto
matically placing the case in Federal
jurisdiction and acting as a stay to
the extradition which was granted by
Governor Felker.
Luter the fugitive applied for admls- j
sion to bail on .he ground that con
spiracy to escape from the insane asy
lum at Matteawan, the alleged oltense
on which extradition proceedings were
based, was bailable. Counsel for New
York State opposed the motion for
ball, alleging that Thaw's mental con
dition was such as to make his free
dom a menace to the public.
New York's right of custody, If the
right exists, Judge Aldrich rules, "was
based solely upon the idea of Insanity;
and from the very nature of the case,
In describing the supposed extradition
crime, the demanding State itself,
upon the face of the papers, necessar
ily throws the question of criminal re
sponsibility Into the Held of uncertain
ty, and thus it once presents a ques
tion new to extradition law."
To Break Ground For
New Wesley A. M. E.
Church Next Monday
Work on the building of a new Wes
ley Union African Methodist Episco
pal Church at Forster and Ash street,
will be started next Monday.
The new edifice will be built on a
lot of ground 45 feet wide by 167 feet

tensive program has been prepared.
The first shovel of earth will be taken
by the pastor, the Rev. J. Francis Lee.
The new church will be a two-story
brick building, 45 feet wide and 107
feet deep. It will be built of red
brick with stone trimmings. When
completed It will cost about $19,000.
More than two hundred members of
the church will meet at the old
church Monday afternoon and will
proceed to the new site in a body. The
procession will be headed by the Per

DENIES SHE AIDED

Declares She Was Not Alone With
Him at Any Time Dur
ing Visit
Mrs. Annie Hohl, mother of the es- \
caped Altoona bandit, Frank G. Hohl,
denies that she had any hand in her
son's escape and has written the Tele
graph to that effect.
Mrs. Hohl this morning called on
Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison and ex
pressed indignation at her name being
brought into the case.
Mrs. Hohl was absent from home
yesterday. The Altoona newspapers
and press reports from that city re
ferred to Mrs. Hohl's having visited
her son in the Hollicjaysburg jail
Thursday last, and stated that the
Altoona police authorities were of tho
opinion that Hohl's mother had fig
ured in the plans for the bandit's
escape.
Mrs. Hohl emphatically denied that
she had any hand in the breaking out
of jail of her son and wrote the fol
lowing letter to the Telegraph:
Seeing a piece in the paper last
night, 1 would like to correct It.
I did not aid iny son to escape.
I did not see him more than five
minutes, and only in presence of |
the jailer last Thursday. Now, I
ask you kindly to print this. I

No clue to the fugitive's hiding
place has been reported and the Al

bloodhounds on Hohl's trail.
Dr. Swallow Ridicules
"Gasoline Christians"
By Associated Press
I Philadelphia, April 14.—Dr. Silas
C. Swallow, former Prohibition nomi
nee for President of the United States,
ridiculed "gasoline Christians" —in
other words, church members who go
automobillng on Sunday, in an ad
dress yesterday before the Methodist
Preachers' Association in Wesley Hall.
The speaker gave a humorous descrip
tion of the foibles of church members,
satirized the trifling differences be
tween some of the denominations and
urged that "professional sporting loaf
ers" be put to work in the country.
"Ask one of the howling loafers
who sit half the season on the base
ball bleachers to help the overworked
farmer and he would give you a look
i of scorn" said Doctor Swallow.
"Wo are not opposed to a daily
unbending of the mind in healthv,
open-air recreations. We like golf
and tennis and croquet and quoits and
baseball and horseback riding, but we
object to professional athletics, in
which young men spend all their lives
in mere play, and are encouraged in
it by our colleges as an advertisement
and by our churches as a decoy. The
moment the church gets away from
the insanity of amusing people, feed
ing people, clothing people, in order
to save them, the sooner will we solve
the question, 'How can we reach the
masses?" "
HEART PAILS HIM AFTER
CHURCH AND FARMER IHKS
Shortly after returning to his home
from church Inst evening. William F
Clay, a well-known farmer of Lower
Paxton township, died suddenly from
heart disease. Funeral services will be
held Thursday afternoon from his home
and further services will be held at the
Llnglestown United Brethren Church
Mr. Clay was 65 years of age. He Is
survived by his wife, two sons. E W
Clay, of this city, and W. I. Clay, of
West Hanover township, and one
daughter, Mrs. Minnie Enders, of Pen
brook.

for backing up the demand of Rear
Admiral Mayo that the American flag
be saluted by the Huerta commander.
The Cabinet had discussed the slt

I general concensus of opinion was that
I the Washington government should
insist on a salute. After the meeting
there wm a conspicuous silence on the
part of all oncers and Secretary Dan
iels hurried to the Navy Department,
where he prepared a memorandum of
naval orders.
President Wilson conferred with
Secretary Tumulty and reports were
current that later in the day a state
ment covering the American demand
for a salute would be made.
