HEAD _CATARRH SUFFOCATED BY WEST SIDE FIRE jack Mark Blaze in Crowded Ninth Avenue House. RISKS HIS OWN LIFE. One Victim Found Clasped in Dead Father’s Arms at Door. ——. A man and two children lost their lives, several persons were injured, and many thrilling rescues were , | made in a fire that started apparently from carelessness at 1.15 A. M. to-day in the basement of No. 495 Ninth Avenue, @ five-story building be- tween Thirty-seventh and Thirty- eighth Streets, tenanted by sixteen families. A rescue made by Frederick C. ,| Walker, a steeplejack attached to the Fire Department, was one of the most difficult and thrilling ever wit- nessed. THE DEAD. BACCULO, ANTONIO, thirty-eight, a chef.

THOMPSON, HARRY, ironworker, No. 312 West Thirty-fifth Street; slight burns and overcome by smoke. BALDWIN, JAMES, No. 483 Ninth The feat of rescue performed by ‘Walker, who formerly was a fire pa- trolman, was one of the most daring and spectacular of which there is any record in the department's long list, police and firemen agreed. Walker lives at No, 409 West Thirty-seventh Street, awakened by the commotion that fol- lowed discovery of the fire. With- out troubling to don more than his trousers and shoes, he went to the back yard, vaulted a fence and found himself in the rear of the burning building. He could see women and children packed on the small rear escape bal- contes, with frightened me: windows. There was at th No outlet, because the drop ladders had not been lowered to the ground, and many could not even get to the escapes. Nearby was a tall clothes pole, with spikes in the elde to enable a person to climb to the top and adjust the pulley lines, Walker ran up the pole thirty-two feet, which brought him on @ level with a two-story exten- sion between him and the burning building. The extension was five feet from the pole, and Walker could not jump the gap because there was not adequate foothold. STRADDLES FIVE-FOOT GAP, one of the longest and strongest of the pulley lines from the pole, and making it into @ coll hung it over his arm. Then, projecting spike, he grasped the top- most Apike, and by stretching his legs like a contortionist “straddled” the five-foot gap. ‘With one foot on the pole spike and the other five feet away on the ex- tension roof, he paused long enough to get a good balance, then propelled himself to the roof. When an Eve- tion, badly burned about hands, face| ning incredulity, Walker promptly climbed the pole and repeated the feat to show how it was done, The edge of the extension roof, however, was at its nearest approach >< ‘and frantically calling for help were REMARKABLE RESCUE. and his seven-year-old daughter, Mary. stow cam> the part of ihe stee threw ono end of to Varca, and told him to mak “twiat” cf it around the little girl's body.

The fire started under the stair- ‘way in the basement where the jani- tor, who does not live in the bulld- ing, leaves ash cans, and tenants are alleged to have been in the habit of dumping piles of paper refuse.

Young, husband of the late’ Mme. Nordica, appeared this morning before Surrogate Cohalan and Was eworn as a witness to tell at some future time all about his finan- celal dealings with Mme, Nordica. He is trying to probate a will she made in 1910, leaving all her property to him, while her sister, Mrs. Annie Baldwin, offers the will she made at Thuraday Igiands, in the Southern Pacific, shortly before she died, in 1913, Mr. Young was sworn as a witness in the matter of the will of 1913. His attorney, Emile Dreyfus, asked the Coyrt to adjourn his examination, and said his side had nothing to do with the publication of the Nordica letters in this morning’s World. Sur- rogate Cohalan put the examination over to some future date, to be de- termined later, and Mr. Young and hia ‘counsel went to Part I. of the Supreme Court, where another phase of ‘the contest is being tried. Coptes of five letters purporting to have been written by the late Mme, Lillian Nordica, which were filed by relatives who are seeking to defeat probate of one will the singer made, and establish another, have been made public. Energetic efforte were made by Colby & Brown of No. 33 Nassau Street, attorneys for George W. Young, Mme. Nordica’s husband, to prevent first the filing and then the publication of the letters. A restrain- ing order was issued by Supreme Court Justice Goff to prevent their Recital—Chickering Hall (7th floor), Tomorrow at 3 P. M.
