THE MORNING OREGONIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1905. NUKED WORKMEN FIGHT FOB LIKES Caught by Flames in a Cheap Lodging-House in Glasgow. THIRTY - NINE ARE DEAD Fantastic Sight Presented by 300 Semi-Nude Fugitives as They Arc Escorted" -to the Shelter of the Police Station. GLASGOW Nov. 19. The, most ter rible Are that has occurred in Great Britain for many years broke out here today in a cheap lodging-house top men in Watson street and resulted in the loss of 39 Uvea and the severe 'injury of many others. The --flames were first noticed at 6 o'clock this morning on the fourth floor of the building, which was occupied by 300 men. An alarm, was raised and the firemen responded quickly, but flames and smoke were then issuing- from most of the windows on the fourth floor. An extraordinary scene was created by a procossion of almost naked men rushing out of the entrance to the building-, and against their frantic ef forts to escape the firemen had actual ly to fight for admission. Reaching the upper floors, the fire men found that the narrow passages were becoming congested with men who had dropped to the floors, over come with smoke. The fire, however, was confined to the fourth floor, and as soon as the firemen were able to get to work It was speedily extin guished. The flames had been fed by the wooden partitions, which threw off volumes of smoke, resulting in the suffocation of the Inmates, but others had to be taken ao hospitals. The dead were mostly workmen in the prime of life. They presented a horrible sight. Many were sleeping In the attic floor above the burning fourth floor, and these had narrow escapes. The flames burst through the floor, and It was Im possible for the men to descend. The windows were securely fastened and the men had to break them so that they could climb through to neighbor ing roofs. By 10 o'clock a search of the build ing was made and a complete list of the victims obtained, which showed that 39 were dead and 32 injured. It appears to be the custom-of these lodgers to sleep In a nude condition, and the march of the survivors to the police station was tL fantastic one. Some had snatched the covers of the beds and others, their trousers, "while many wore nothing. The local au thorities had to be called upon to sup ply the men with clothing and warm meals. Owing to their migratory habits and the absence of permanent homes, many of the dead will never be Identified. The identification of others is rendered difficult by the absence of clothing. BANQUET IS GIVEN PREMIER Fortis Had Just Returned From the Scenes of Suffering in Calabria. XAPL.ES. Nov. 19.

He promised a more equitable distribution of taxation and said that the finances of the country were good, notwithstanding the. extraor dinary expenses incurred because of such calamities as floods and storms and the terrible earthquakes. A special levy, he said, would mitigate the miseries occa sioned by the earthquakes and assistance would soon be given to Sicily.

All housewives and lovers of good Coffee are invited to attend. "The Different Store" "Givers of Best Values" Are those stores that select staple, stylish merchan dise that people want and reduce the price or sell it for less than .actual market worth AT SUCH TIME AS FOLK NEED THE GOODS. This is the policy of the Olds, "Wortman & King organization. It's only natural that advertising statements regarding the sacrifice of merchandise should .incite ' more or less incredulity on the part of the public That merchants are not in business for their health is obvious, consequently it's no doubt rather hard to believe thatr they would deliberately select good, staple stuff for slaughter while they are still in style and. season. Yet if they could only come behind the scenes for a few moments, they would realize the neces sity for such sacrifices at stated periods. One of these times is now at hand. The more you buy in the great Thanksgiving Sales the more you'll save. Special Mention of Excellent Values in Women's and Children's Hosiery First Floor.
