~ WAKE'IN FIRE TRAP TTOFLEE WITHBABY LICKED BY FLAMES Early Sunday Morning Blaze Starting in Kitchen Turns Apartment to Furnace As flames licked their faces, Frank H. Specht, his wife and baby son es- caped from their rooms on the rear side, second floor, of the Hughes apartments, 715 Thayer avenue, at 6 o'clock Sunday morning, when trapped by a fire whose roar and heat had awakened them. The Spechts got away from the flames by smashing a window, passing over a back roof in their night clothes and descending to the street through the apartment of one of their three neighbors in the building. @Olsons Driven Out Also ~ Mr. and Mrs. Archie Olson and their 17-year-old daughter, June, who occupied an apartment in front of that in which the Spechts lived, also fled when the flames began breaking through the Specht kitchen, where the blaze, evidently the result of de- fective electric wiring, had started. Specht is in a local hospital as a result of his experience in the fire. ‘To escape, when he found it impossi- ble to pass through the flame in the room adjoining their sleeping apart- ment, he broke the window at the head of the bed and the storm win- dow outside, then helped Mrs. Specht out to the back roof and passed their baby son, Frank, jr., seven months old, to her. Baby’s Face Cut by Glass ‘The baby rolled over on its face ‘when passed out to the mother and ‘was cut on the forehead and beside the left ear by the broken glass of the window. Specht was so severely cut on the arms and body that it took about 18 stitches to close his wounds. He also was severely burned on the shoulders. Mrs. Specht was burned over the cheek bones, her arms, forehead and on the lips, the lower one bearing a large blister. Neither she nor the baby were sufficiently injured to re- quire stay in the hospital. Spechts Lose All The interior of the Specht apart- ment is charred throughout and the 2-by-4 studding is burned through in the kitchen wails,:which were con- structed of a type of fabricated board. All the furniture ts either burned completely or ruined by charring. Most of their clothing also is ruined. Mrs. Specht estimated a loss of more than $1,000, uninsured. Their furni- ture ran to more than $700 in value. A radio outfit, electric sewing ma- chine and other modern household Conveniences were included. ‘W. A. Hughes, who represents the * owner of the apartments, could not estimate the loss on the building. It is confined almost entirely to the Specht rooms. The building is in- sured, he said. Greeted by Gust of Flame ‘When Specht was awakaned' about 6 o'clock by the heat and the roaring of the flames in the adjoining room, he opened the door a bit to see what was happening on the other side. A blast of flame struck him in the face. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MARCH It:1980°@r [DEMONSTRATIONS BY [taster rae Pe PROFESUONAL PRE relation to Jupiter and LOW INTEREST MAY SPEED UP BUILDING Secretary Lamont Says Situa- tion of Unemployed Gets ‘Close Attention Washington, Mar. 17.—(#)—Secre- tary Lamont said today that the lower interest rates on money throughout the country should permit an im- pertant speeding up during the next few months in new construction which he said already had been stimulated »y the “remarkable co- operation,” from the various states. Secretary Lamont also said his de- partment was working toward a con- stant check upon the number of un- employed in the country. ‘The un- employment census to be taken next month, he explained, will be used as a basis upon which figures can be kept up to date. While it is impossible to gauge the number of men out of work at pres- ent, he said, the coming census was expected to give definite information ! along this line, and that in the future, by @ samplng process in various sec- tions, his department would be able to keep abreast of the situation. President to Take Week-End Vacation Washington,. Mar. 17.—(#) — Even though the trout season will not be open, President Hoover has decided to make his first visit of the year to the Rapidan fishing camp in the Vir- ginia mountains this week-end.

No indi- The door would not shut tightly again, and he and the wife had to break their way out through the win- dow while the flame licked at them through the open crack of the door. When the firemen reached the apartment, they broke in the door at the head of the stairway and were met by a flaming blast from the Specht rooms. They turned two streams of water into the apartment and also used their chemical tanks on the blaze. As the fire seemed to sink, | @Y- they explored the frail walls, and wherever a hole was punched, flame spurted forth. The whole interior of the walls was filled with fire. Flames also mounted through the roof, which ‘was capped by @ small cuploa. Quick response and action poe the fire from spreading to the entire building and also to the- German weekly, Rundschau, under the two burning apartments. The department stayed at the building two hours, sweeping and shoveling out water after the flames had been extinguished.
