Thirteen bodies were recovered, all
badly burned. The death list Is likely"
to be swelled by. (he deaths of many of
the Injured, scores -being hurt, many "
probably fatally. It Is probable that
there are a number of-bodlea aa yet un
discovered In the ruins, as the com- v
pany haa not yet accountofl tnr i h-
employes.
- The fire started' soon as the force
went to work this morninnr. Fully 400
were In the plant. The flames soread
with each rapidity that all those on the
fifth or top floor were trapped and
many escaped only by eliding down the
ropes. Some were probablv fatally hurt -
I by Jumping. A panic among tha
stricken workers followed. . Men and
women were trampled upon
poured through the rooms.
The firemen eaved many, four women
especially were rescued by the personal
' bravery of the firemen. Most of tha
operatives were women and glrla. There
sua only one fire escape, which wa
attached to that part of the building
and tha flames cut It off,, none wara
able to reach It. :
Practically every dead body shows
legs broken, proving that the vkjtlma -
