FIRE DESTROYS CHILDREN'S HOME Disaster Follows Recent Burning of Orphanage When 50 Lives Were Lost. By the Associated Press. QUEBEC, December 17.—Quebec was excited today over the destruction of another children’s home maintained by _the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. Their orphanage was destroyed Wednesday night, with an estimated loss.of 50 lives. The building housing the Academy of St. Louis and the St. Jean Berch- man’s Pension was swept by flames last night as firen were clearing the ruins of the Hospice St. Charles Orphanage, where 36 bodies were re covered. Fourteen of the St. Charles Orphanage children were still unac- counted for, as the boys of the academy escaped into a blizzard. The academy building is located Wwithin a stone’s throw of the Provin- clal Legislative buildings and the homes of some of the most prominent Ppeople’ of the city, many of whose children attended the institution. Fourteen boys who were in the| dormitories of the six-story building when the fire started reached safety, Jed by nuns, although two were slightly injured when they leaped into snow banks from windows. Two nuns suffering from burns were sent, 1o A hospital after they had remained in the building to make sure all had escaped. ‘The origin of last night's fire. like that of the Hospice St. Charles, wa not clear, althouzh police said they had been informed that two men had been seen leaving the yard of the institution shortly before the blaze was discovered. Only four walls remained of the building when the blaze was extin- guished. Damage was estimated at $250,000, partly covered by insurance. A verdict of accidental death was rendered by a coroner’s jury in the fatalities of the Hospice St. Charles fire, although Fire Chief Donnelly de- clared that had a night watchman heen employed much of the loss of life might bave been prevented. The| coroner’s jury suggested that “more effective supervision be exercised | during the night and that automatic sprinklers be installed in all buildings of this kind.” A difference of opinion developed during the day’s investigation. The sisters of the orphanage declared that had the firemen erected their ladders at certain points more lives might have been saved.

From there I will fly to San Jose in Costa Rica and to Pan-| ma. A stop-off of two days in each of | these capitals will be made if the| weather permits me to keep to that schedule, The country is mountain- | ous, and there are limited opportu- nities for landing, but I do not think that there will be any difficulty in mak- | ing the hops, which are comparatively | short. Affer reaching Pamama I will fly back to some point from whence 1| can take off for, Havana, Cuba, prob- ably to Progreso, In Yueatan, where there is an aviation field. From there I will fly to Havana, a comparatively short flight. Havana should be reach- ed during the second week in January.

It took me a lot more than that, but that was my fault. There is a great opportunity for an air line between Mexico City and the border, for both passengers and mail. Just how it should be flown and with what type of ships, I am, of course, 7ot prepared to say, but such a route ould do much to bring Mexico City -loser to the United States. There is-also an opportunity for an »ir line from the United States to | Panama. | These routes will undoubtedly be | pen in the next few years and they 1 greatly facilitate the transmission »f mail and make it possible for pas- ~nzers to quickly .reach cities which r» now only at the end of a long and e Lot My next two days here promise to be full of many experiences, and on Sunday it is possible that I may attend a bull fight at the invitation of the| representatives of this diversion.

There are many things about Mex- jco which I believe would be better understood if those who criticize were here. So far as my experiences have been concerned they have been noth- ing but of the pleasantest sort. The courtesy which I have received and the interest in my work and in a representative of the United States has been marked. T shall take with me from Mexico nothing but the most excellent feeling, and if my reception here does some- thing to bring about a better accord between the United States and Mexico, I shall be happy. It is not necessary now to regard the people of another country by the customs of your own, but by their own customs and standards. Mexico has a long and interesting history. It is a country of great pos- sibilities, and it has problems and so- cial conditions with which the United States does not_have to contend. Personally, I know little about them, for 1 have not been here long enough, but it is always well to regard an- other’s problems with some desire to {see them from the other’s point of view. “Before 1 leave 1 shall be able to make a few more flights, 1 hope, and I will have to check my plane over arefully before continuing the flight. It apparently is in excellent condition, nd considering all it has gone through I am delighted at the way which it has stood up. So far as can he seen, it is as good as it was when it came from the fac- tory. But in aviation it is always best to be careful and so I want to go over it thoroughly before going on.

Republic Wants Lindbergh to Land | on Its Own Soil. , PANAMA, December 17 (#).—Every | effort is being made by the Panama government to have Charles A. Lind- bergh land on Panama soil when he comes here. A special committee of Panamans and Americans has been appointed for this purpose and to se- lect the most suitable site close to the capital. President Chiarl has instructed For- eign Minister Alfaro to confer with Brig. Gen. Willlam S. Grave, com’ mander of the Canal Zone, in regard to_this. Referring to the decision to include Americans in the committee, Chiari | said: “It is a question not only of | strict courtesy, but also of justice. It/ would be unpardonable if they were | overlooked, because American resi- | dents of the isthmus would, no doubt, wish to participate in formally receiv- ing this idol of American aviation.” | HONDURAS ENTHUSIASTIC.
