Wn BARRAGE SAVES FIREMEN AS THEY RESCUE MANY, Uniforms Ignite as Families Are Carried Down Ladder in Tenement Blaze. More than thirty persons were car- tied down ladders from windows, ledges and roof during a fire in the four-story building at No. 200 Bast $5th Street at 3.30 A. M. to-day. The seven members of Engine No. 8 wére Scorched and singed so all had to re- ceive medical attention, but none was seriously burned. The ground floor of the building, whieh is at Third Avenue, is a saloon, Six families live on the upper floors, ‘There are balcony fire-escapes on both the 65th Street and Third Avenue sides. These escapes have no des- cending ladders, but run to the adjoins ing house. Flames were coming trom the hall- One of the Babies Saved in Blaze; Firemen Aiding in Rescue of Many way when a passerby saw them, sent in an alarm and went back to arouse the tenants. When Engine No. 8 came screams could be heard on the top floor. Firemen Cressen and McMenamin were able to get through the smoke and fire to the apartment of Mrs. Angelica Trovato on the 65th treet side. She, her husband and ree-year-old child were in a window calling for help. The husband, Pasquale, was strug- gling in vain to pull down the ladder which would carry him to safety from the fourth floor. The firemen heard their shouts and, scaling the side of the building through the flames from windows below, reached the side of the trapped family. The ladder finally was released and the downward journey through smoke and fire was begun. At each floor the ladder was pulled down to provide access to the succeeding fire escape below. A stream of water was playing on the fire by then, and Firemen Michael Strauss and Edward Bauer, seeing the danger, turned « stream on the family and their rescuers, and with a water barrage as a protection one fireman carried the woman and the other the child to the atreet. The man got down unassisted. Just as the firemen had reached the second floor the child, Joseph, ‘began cry ~. His father finally in- terpreted the outbreak u» a demand of the child for his hobby horse on the top floor. The firemen convinced the father, but not little Joseph, that to go back into the house meant cer- tain death. When the fire was ex- tinguished the charred remains of the child's toy were found. On the second floor lived Anthony THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1921, Bernesan, his wife and the boys, Louts, four, and Robert, one and a half years old.

The fam- ily was on the verge of collapse from suffocation. However, Meacheny picked up his wife, his father passed the baby out of the window to Ber- nesan and all reached the street snfely. Mra, Betty Weinstein was alone on the second floor, She reached the win- dow, where she was seen by Capt. Jonn C. Donovan and Fireman John J, Burns, both of ngine Company No. & as she collapsed. The two rushed up ladders, reached through the window and pulled her out. When Truck Company No. 2 came there were thirty men, women and children in their nightclothes on the roof. in windows or on ledges, some of them with the flames licking at thelr clothing. Most of them could have reached safety by walking along the escapes to the adjoining building, but they seemed to think the only way they could go was down ladders. Several Jadders were put up and they were all helped to the street in that | way. The fire practically burned the third | and fourth floor stairways and went through the roof, doing so much dam- age in the apartments that the ten- ants had to be cared for by relatives and friends. Zidiabase oe Re eee ee HINTS POOL CONTROLS STORAGE EGG SUPPLY Inventigation Into Alleged Manipa- | , lation of Prices Announced. GHICAGO, Nov. 25.—Fifty-five cents a dozen for cold storage eggs retailed here and 37 cents for whole- sale, the exchange quotation Wednes- day, is too high, Russell J. Poole, city food expert, said to-day in an- nouncing an investigation into an al- leged pool manipulating the price of exes. “There are more eggs in storage than there were last year,” he said, “and owing to unemployment and eco- nomic conditions, the consumption is less than Jast year. Any further boost in the price, unless the supply of fresh eggs is cut off, will be pretty fair evidence that the market is being manipulated.” Street and i -DRESSES GREATLY 19.75 Dresses 24.75 Dresses 29.75 Dresses Materials include Canton Crepe, Crepe Satin, Saturday Absolute’.
