' IN Litile Ones Carried Through J Flame and Smoke to Places of Safety. ‘A fire started by an incendiary in \@our-story tenement at No. 687 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, imperiiled forty-five lives early to-day. Many children were carried through the flames and taken up he fire escapes to the roof and onto adjoining buildings, ‘The firebug was s0 deliberate that after his first attempt had been extin- guished he returned and set the blaze ‘that went through the house. Just defore 1 o'clock Mrs. Anna Belt an@ Joseph Aptel, who occupy apart- ments on the third floor, were awakened by the smell of smoke. They found a ' fire in the rear of the hallway. With uckets of water they succeaded In put ting it out and returned to their beds. Shortly after "1 o'clock John Black- more, @ former deputy sheriff of Brook- lyn, Who lives at No. 68 Gates avenue, got home with his wife trom an enter- tainment, As he sat writing a letter he eaw the glare of fire across the court ‘separating his apartment from the house next door, The third floor of No, 887 was .well alight, Blackmore, with his son Louls, rushed to give the alarm. Unable to rouse the house, by banging at the, front door, they ran up the fireescape and ham- mered on windows, The flames had eslzed the stairways and from the eecond floor up escape by the stairs was wholly cut off. “WOMEN, SAVED, HELP RESCUE CHILDREN. On the third floor Louis Blackmore found Mrs, Anna Belt and her daugh- ter Tilly, elghteen, penned in, and Joseph Aptel and his wife frantically trying to collect their seven children. Young Blackmore got the Belt women to safety on the rear fire-escape, where they then assisted in rescuing the Aptel children, Two were missing, but were afterward found to have run down the fire-escape by themselves aud hidden in a neighboring house. Mr, Blackmore found on the second floor Henry Warren with his wife and six children and Abraham Meyrowltz with his wife and baby. While Mrs. Warten and her seventeen-year-old daughter, Margaret, were carrying the younger children out through the smoke to the fire-escape they were overcome. Warren and Blackmore got the youns- aters to the street and then Warren carried down his wife, while nis neigh- bor followed with Margaret. On the fourth floor the Krietzman family of seven children and the Sche- nee family of five had the most thrilling escape. They tried to get down the fir escape, but found it blocked by fleeing families from thgthird floor and by the flames. They Were directed by Mr. Blackmore to run upward to the roof. One by one the twelve children were Mfted over the gooseneck ladder to the | roof and were taken to adjoining houses before the flames broke through. ONLY ONE FAMILY GOT OU’ BY FRONT DOOR. From the ground floor the Silver fam- fly, who have a fruit store, were the aly ones who managed to get out by the front door, Jacob Wendorff, who was in the rear of his delicatessen store with his wife, had great diMculty car- rying out hie mother, The aged woman was suffering from paralysis and had te be taken through a window to the back yard. rapidly 414 the fire spread that all the rescues were effected and the upper floors practically gutted by the time Battalion Chief Goodeson and Engine Company No. 180 arrived from their mearby Gates avenue quarters. ‘The police are looking for # young man who was formerly a boarder in ene of the apartments. intact 25 eS CAMP FIRE GIRLS COOK THEIR MEALS OUTDOORS.

Mrs. J. Borden Harriman’s Seven Reasons . ‘BURNED BY ACID “Why Women Should Favor Wilson’s Election ND INGREAT PAN, Laws Affecting Home Life, the Protection of Chil- dren, Limiting Hours of Labor, Factory Inspec- tion and Others Passed During His Admin- istration in New Jersey Pointed Out by Society Leader. ‘The women of the United States should be for Wilson because—— First—He is for the improvement of the conditions surrounding working women. Second—He is for the protection of children !n school time, In hours of recreation, in the labor market. ‘Third—Ho is for the safeguarding of the public health. Fourth—He is for suitable ma‘ rriage regulation, Fifth—He is for the humane treatment of social derelicts and weaklings. Sixth—He ts for the abolishment of graft and the appointment of public officials on grounds of fitness rather than of political opinion. Sevepth—He {a tor @ reduction of the high cost of living. These are just a few of the reasons why Mrs. J. Borden Harriman. so- ciety leader and President of the Colonial Club and philanthropist, h tered the political field with the Woman’ organization. Mrs, Harriman te thoroughly in earn- est in her advocacy of the Democratio ticket. She was at her desk to-day, in the headquarters she has established in the Fifth Avenue Building, at al- most as early an hour as the office stenographer. Her private room ta simple and businesslike in its appoint- ments, There is one fine engraving of Lincoln over the big roll-top desk, and on the top of this desk a full set of Gov, Wilnon'’s “American History. Every other article in the room is strictly utilitarian as Mra. Fi rriman's own linen shirtwaist and tatlored suit. WHY WOMEN SHOULD TAKE PART IN OPLITICS. “T am firmly of the belief that women should interest themselves as much af possible In public affairs,” she began in her low, warm contralto. “Personally, I am a suffragist, although it must be perfectly clear that the work of this committee 1s to be dissoctated from all tdeas of suffrage or anti-suffrage. We are out frankly to use our indirect in- fluence. I know that phrase is a red| rag to some women, but why should it be? “Because in most of the States women haven't yet the ballot there is no excuse | for thelr sitting back and refusing to do anything at all. Every woman has @ certain amount of influence over one or more voting members of the community. If she can't exert it directly, let her} make the best of the situation and be as much ef a power as possible in- directly. “We are, I think, at the beginning of a new era of general co-operation, the friendly working together of all classes for the public good. We are becoming less self-centred and indi- vidualistic. We are taking the wider outlook, One proof of this general condition 1s the increased interest which women of every ¢' is are show- ing in public affairs. In matters of | sanitation, pure food, chilajabor and | kindred topics there is an almost tnt- versal response from the women to any appeal that they trust. CLOSER UNION OF WOMEN OF| ALL CLASSES. “As a@ corollary, women are becoming more democratic, in the general, not the partisan, sense of the word, Work- ing women and those who are well-to- 4o, business women, philanthropists, artists—all are coming closer and closer together, In working for a common object they are forgetting surface dit- ferences of environment. They are getting to know oach other bette: and you remember the French proverb —'To know all is to understand all.’ Therefore I have faith that this pras- ent organization will be @ real national movement. We shall hold neetings all over New York, In fact, we have th first one already scheduled for Mo: day, Aug. 1%, in the vicinity of Madison Square. But we are also planning to send literature and speakers throus all the States, In the suffrage Sta we can appeal directly to the w In the others we can convert w to convert thelr husbands.” | “Are you going on the stump?” she was asked. Mrs, Harriman laughed, but didn’t deny tt. “We shall have all the speakers we she relterated “But do you expect to find many ad- herente in the woman suffrage States now that Roos it has come out for suffrage?” "I do not believe he will win all the Democratic women against Gov. Wil- son's solid record of achievement. After all, Col, Roosevelt doesn't make suffrage a matter of Federal concern. He only recommends it to the differ- et States, and though some of them may be swayed by his recommenda- tlons we cannot ‘know that they will, and I do not see how he can mac Federal regulations supporting the planks in his platform that have to do with woman's labor. “This is the way I feel about Roosevelt,” added Mrs, Harriman, frowning intently in an effort, to make her meaning clear. “I ad- mize him very much in a great many ways. I believe he is « strong progressive ot present, and of course my beliefs are pro- But—so is Gov. Wilson and X feel that he has more stability. PRAISES THE STAND OF GOV.) WILSON, “Wasn't his speech of acceptance wonderful!” she broke off with kindling | enthudasm, “It was so beautifully written, aside from dts substance. How | do you think people will take it? Don’t you belleve it will have a general ap- peal? i “He made his attitude on the high! cost of ving so clear, He showed that only by an immedlate and downwar revision of the tariff can the trusts 5 brought under control and the con- sumer rescued from the baneful effec of the ‘private understanding,’ seems to It e that Wilson's position on | this single Issue ls enough to bring all en- National Wilson and Marshall the women of the country to his aide. It Is they who know dest the constant struggle with the daily ascending prices of the necessities of life, “But besides this we have compiled & most marvellous record of excellent Inws passed by the New Jersey Legisia- ture during Gov. Wilson's two years tn the executive chair. And of course his influence was back of them all, We are sending this tabulation all over the country, with an appeal to help the man who has done so much to help women and children, “For instance, in his administration was passed the firet law relating to women wage-eurners ever enacted in New Jersey. It limits thelr employ- ment to sixty hours a week. There is also an act providing sanitary condi- tions in bakeries, candy and ice cream manufactories and all factories whe goods of any kind are manufactured, and there are regulations for the ae, safety, health and work Mours of the employees. ‘There is a provision pro- tecting workers against draughts, fumes, gases and steel filings, and one comp: ling a half hour for meals for all factory employees. Finally an employ- ers’ Mability act has been passed for the beneft of women and children dur- tng the disability or after the death of the breadwinner, |PUT THROUGH LAWS FOR PRO- TECTION OF CHILDREN. yer so many laws for the pro- n of children have gone through. tect |Thetr employment during schoo! hours and at night ts prohibited, and thero may be no night messenger boys under twenty-one.
