Six-Story Building’s Staircase Burns Away Before Tenants Awake. Firemen all over the city were Kept busy during the early hours to-day by | small but dangerous fires, and scores of families were temporarily the cold streets in thin night clothin ing achance | for pro- | driven t fn many cases w to get even a blanket tection. Thirty-six families were sent scur {ng from their homes in the two fl story tenements at Nos. 18 and Allen street, by a blaze at the break- fast hour. Nearly all of the 200 per- fons in the two houses were enjoying their morning meal. They left t tables with a rush and piled down the stairs, Many of them were half undressed, nnd just after the firemen got there and laid a line of hose it burst, throw- ing water over a score of women and children who were slow in getting yond the fire lines, The fire started in the cigar store on the first floor of No. 185, owned by Mrs, Marv Kafit. She had lighted a fire in the stove and stepped over to tie grocery store of Max Ortner, in No. 187 to’ get some milk. Sparks fired nearby material and the flames ran back to Mrs, Katz's living apartmer rug COMALA, 1st AT THE Income Record.
