(Continued from Page 1.) work when the fire started. Bodies Piled l'p Like Cord wood. Tho number of deaths are increas ing ao rapidly that ambulances are unable t,-) care for the bodies, which are being piled up ftke cord wood in Mercer street. From all sections of the city the people excited by telephone accounts of the horror, are rushing; by street car and automobile to the scene of the disaster. In all the approaches to Washington Square automobiles are Jammed solidly two and three deep along the curbs, while mounted police, backing up the efforts of the foot details, are straining every nerve tp clear the way for the ap proach of fire companies from the outlying districts, who are hastening to the scene in the hope that some of their ladders may prove long enough to reach the workers who seem hope- lessly doomed. Auto Stop Firemen. Pressing wildly against the ranks of the police thousands of foreigners from the lower East Side are pour ing into the park ana crowding around Washington Arch, in desper ate effort to break through to where the bodies are being dragged by scorched firemen from the ghastly spot where they are falling from the inferno of flames above. F) rerriOst In the throng are scores of women, shrieking and fighting un reasonlngly to get to where their rel atives are perishing in the flames. Tike noubltitnte. AlkforHORLICK'S.

I the persistent rushes of tha crowd, the police have been forced to club many of the foreigners back, and time and igaln their ranks are brok. en by the frenzied rushes of the waiting wiomen. . Six Piles of Rodles. There are six different piles of bodies about the building. One of those piles contains 16 bodies. Each of the piles of dead Is covered vjtth a tarpaulin, and the police, who are still fighting back the crowds, refuse to allow the reporters to unt tht bodies. So great was the force with which the girls leaping from the eighth floor crashed to the sidewalk on Mercer street that they plunged clear through a heavy iron grating in the sidewalk and all were frightfully mangled. That the list of dead in, the fire may run into scores is the statement of Irene Zlebor, who was employed in the burning factor. She said: "I was engaged on the seventh floor, in the cutting department, when flames burst put near one of tht mnr.hlnpa All nf n ran tnwnrd ho AWntni- hnt tthn n, n,r f iinrf i Supervisor Dilloy, to come up we rushed toward the stairways. Dora Miller attempted to open a heayy door, but before she could swing it more than 100 girls packed In behind her, and Jammed It shut. Heroic Klevator lUty. "Dora broke the glass with her fist and started to climb through. Then there was a rush for the other floors. I scrambled thpnugh with the crowd. All of us were bindly cut by glass from the door. Sp far as I know only 20 girls got through be- ; fore the jam prevented further esonpe I Meantime 'Tnmmy," the elevator boy, had taken the car to the eighth j floor and filled it. As it went by us ! I could see that the car was jammed i too full for any others to enter. Tom ' my made several trips until the heat on the seventh floor made It lmpos- slble for him to open the door of the ' cage. As soon as escape by the stair ways and elevators was cut off, there I was a rush of girls to the windows ; and the leaping to the outside walk began." At 5:30 this afternoon it was im possible to state deflnlttly the num ber of dead, but the police believe that more than 40 perished. In addi tion a score of men and girls were cut by broken glass and trampled In the wild flight to escape. Fifty thre ecorpses have been counted. STEINER SAYS NEGROES WILL HOLD THE JOB Despite the protest made by em ployees of the asylum farm against . the employment by the state at the farm of James Llnthycombe and wife, colored, they will be permitted to re main so long as they perform efficient service, is the statement made by Dr. ! Stelner, superintendent of the state hospital for the Insane, today. The two were employed several weeks ago the man as engineer and his wife to preside over the dining room. Taking exception to having to sit down at the same table with the colored people and also to having a white woman care for their room, about 16 employes remonstrated and j j threatened to strike. W. T. Glbbs and 11 II 11 11 II 11 11 II II 11 II 11 n leaders In the movement, were discharged because of their participation in it. That is their story, Dr. Stelner says, how ever, they were fired for other rea sons. The discharge of these two, together with the statement that the I colored people would soon leave, ' seemed to have the effect of quelling the rebellion,, hut now that the col ored people will remain, the race war' may break out anew. Dr. Stelner takes the position that he will not allow politics, religion, nationality or race color to interfere with the employment of help at the Institution, but that the employes will be measured by efficiency alone and as the colored people have "made good" they will remain.
