Brave Deeds at Florence Crit
' tenton Home Fire.
COOL HEADS AVERT PANIC
(Inmates Show Rare Presence of
Mind and ; Plunge Through
Drnse Smoke to. Rescue 18
Rabies in Institution.
Prayer, of dcp thanksgriviniir and
expressions of relief were on the lips
of every mother in Portland yesterday
when they read of the . miraculous es
cape of young ..women and IS babies
v!ios lives : wert' endangered in the
fire Saturday. niRht at the Florence
Crittenton Home. East Thirty-first and
Kat Glinan streets.
Mrr. Rlx and the young: women were
iiiKiifr. when Hie matron observed
small wisps of smoke stealing: upward
tiVoutrh the crevices in -the. floor. She
also detected the odor of fire and at
thesaue instant one of the young wo
men, who on previous ' occasions had
shown presence of mind to a Kreat de
cree, also discovered the smoke. Mra.
ltix dismissed the girl by a nod and
herse'f commanded the others to con
tinue with 'heir song.
The young: woman hurried down into
the basement, from which the smoke
was emerging, ai.d Mrs. Rlx hurried
to a telephone, where she notified a
nearby shopkeeper, who in turn noti
fied fire headquarters. Returning
from her tour of inspection of the
basement, the young woman met Mrs.
Kix in the hallway and told her of the
flames that were rapidly gaining head
v. The young; woman was told to save
Jier own child a'nd to do "what she
could to aid the others. Meanwhile j
the tiny wisps of smoke that had been
creeping through the floor had grown
in volumo to great clouds which filled
the rooms almost to the point of suf
focation. But. trained to implicit obe
dience, the young women remained in
the assembly-hall and were still sing
ing the single stanza they knew of
the sonf when the matron returned.
She calmly dismissed them, ordering
them to remove the children and them
selves from the building.
Perfect Discipline Is Shown.
Then the work , of rescue began. By
this time the entire building was en
veloped in smoke, though, unknown to
the Inmates, the fire in the basement
had not gained sufficient headway to
threaten . immediate disaster. There
was no screaming or hysteria, the
young women rushing to save their
children oblivious to themselves and
the dangers they incurred. And in 15
minutes from the time the . fire was
discovered, so perfectly were the or
ders of the matron obeyed, that not on
Inmate was left in the building.
A heroic rescue was tnat of Klsa, a
Japanese girl, with her two children,
by two young women, who had al
ready saved their, own children and
had gone back into the building to aid
others. Klsa is a Government ward,
the slave girl of. a local Japanese, and
Is awaiting deportation. She was in
her room when' the fire was discov
ered, and being unable to understand
the strange language of the others,
did not know the cries were those of
warning. She remained in her room
until the hall outside was dense with
smoke, when the two girl rescuers
seized her and carried her away, two
others bearing the two children from
the room and building.
One of the young women inmates is
a cripple, and so lame that she can
hardly walk. She also was in her
room with her child when the alarm
was given. Thoroughly frightened,
and fearing that her own - infirmities
might jeopardize the 'life of her, child,
she aroused her 3-year-old daughter
Marjorle, and sent the child alone to
safety. So dutiful and. obedient was
the child that she descended the. stairs
through the blinding smoke unaided.
Oncg her child was safe, the mother
sought to escape herself. On her

hands and knees she attempted to
crawl down the stairs and was about
half way down when rescued by two
young women. Xeither the child nor
moiher was injured.
The head, nurse of the institution
rushed through the smoke to the upper
floor and rescued a mother and a 3-days-o!d
baby. Another nurse stood
in the doorway as the women and chil
dren emerged, calmly cautioning them
against panics and directing them to
the sheltering homes of friends across
the street.
