TWO GIALS ARE HEROINES OF FIRE Arouse Sleeping Occupants of Wellesley Hall. DAMAGE -ABOUT $1,500,000 Three Hundred Students, Members of Faculty and Servants Escape Safely, but Lose All Personal Be- longings—School Compelled to Close Until April 7. Wellesley, Mass.,, March 18.—1'wo hundred and fifty Wellesley students and 100 other persons, including mem. bers of the faculty and servants, fied for their lives when fire destroyed College hall, the largest and most pretentious of the buildings in the college group. ‘No ome was injured. The loss is estimated at $1,500,000. The college sessions temporarily have been suspended and special trains were made up to take the girls to their homes. Practically all of those who had rooms in the ,building lost their personal possessions and clothing, The suberb behavior of the young women probably prevented heavy loss of life or injury to many who groped through smoke filled halls and down the stairways and fire escapes to safe- ty. Three hundred and fifty persons slept in the dormitories—250 students, fifty members of the faculty and fifty maids employed by the faculty and students. Two Girls Are Heroines. Miss Chatlotte Donnell of Wiscasset, Me., and Miss Virginia Moffat of Or- ange, N. J.,, both seniors, were the heroines of the fire. They occupied rooms on the third floor, under the laboratory, where the fire originated, supposedly from spontaneous combus- tion. Their rooms faced on the court round which the building was con- structed, and the glare of the flames aroused them., Miss Donnell rang the fire alarm and Miss Moifat hurried along the halls, pounding on every door. She was joined later by Miss Donnell and every vsgp in the build- ing was aroused Soon the halls were filled with rtled young wom- en. Some carried personal effects in their arms, but the eater number had not waited to save their belong- ings. President [llen S. Pendleton an- nounced that the college would be closed until the end of the usual spring vacation, April 7. Imperator in Heavy Sea.
