FIFTEEN PERSONS
PERISH IN FIRE
N?w York, Oct. 23.?Tjvo separate
inquiries were launched today into the
origin of the fire early Sunday in
which fifteen lives were lost, seventeen
injured and one hundred and fifty
made homeless. The tire is thought
to have started under the main stairway
of a five-story double tenement
structure. Six members of one famijy
were burned to death and five or
six members of another perished.
New York. Oct. 22.?Fifteen persons,
most of them children, lost their
lives early today in a fire, believed
by city officials to be the work of a ;
pyromaniac. The flanles swept with (
murderous suddenness from cellar to ,
attic of a five story brick tenement
at Lexington avenue and One Hundred
and Tenth street In the thickly
populated East Side.
Ha blase apparently started in a :
baby carriage under the stairs in the (
lower hall under almost identical cir>- |
cumstances as the recent incendiary
fire in an upper West Side apartment (
house, which resulted in seven deaths.
So quickly did the flames spread
through the building that a number
of the dead were found in bed, burned
or suffocated without the slightest
opportunity to escape.
Nathan Silver and four of his children
were among the victims. Mr.
and Mrs. Abraham Matilsky and Sidney
and Cathering Sugarman, brothiv
and sister of Mrs. Matilsky, also
perished.
Shortly after 1 o'clock this morning
City Marshal Joseph I^azaru**,
while on his way home, saw smoke
issuing from the hallway of the building.
He ran to the next corner and
turned in an alarm. When he re/
turned the whole building, the ground
floor of which is ocaupied by stores,
was a mass of flames and exit by the
stairway was cut off. Most of the
persons on the second floor succeeded
In .making their way down the Are
escapes, but those on the upper floors
had to battle through smoke and
flames pouring out of the windows.
Several tenants perched on upper;
story windcfws threatened to jump
but were prevailed upon by firemen
JfcLv -.-.la easaiu uwtHiisddseS eould he male
ed. One aged woman, Mrs. iMary Inglass,
disregarded the warning and
leaped from the fourth floor, receiving
injuries which caused her death
tonight.
While the firemen were at work on
the second floor and preparing to
fight their way to the one above, the
third floor collapsed, but not before
a warning roar had sent the firemen
to safety.
Nearly a score of persons owe their
lives to 17 year old James O'Donnell,
a mechanic's helper, who was eating
at restaurant in the vicinity when
he heard a woman cry for help. Running
to the street he saw the woman
leaning out of the window on the second
floor of the burning tenement
with two small children by her side.
The young man clamberckd on the
sill of a store window, jumped and
caught a swinging sign and pulled
himself up to the window. He led the
three frightened tenants down the
fire escape to the street and then racy
ed back and rescued the woman's 18
months old baby, who was asleep in
a crib. Later he went to the roof
of an adjoining building and by
throwing a board over the alley space
made it possible for a number of
tenants, who seemingly had been cut
off from escape on the roof to cross
in safety.
William Conners, 22, who lives with
his mother across the street from the
burned building, also rescued a number
of persons from the third floor, '
including Mrs. Silver. He. was badly 1
burned when a gust of flame burned
the clothing from his back as he was |
walking down the fire escape with a
woman in his arms.

FLORIDA FLOOD
WAS EXAGGERATED
West Palm Beach, Pla., Oct. 22.?
Morris Moore, whose telegram to his
wife In Charlotte. N. C., yesterday indicated
that flood conditions in the
Like Okechobeo section of the Everglades
were serious, and 18 other
flood refugees arrived in West Palm
Beach this morning with BO head of
horses, mules and cows and several
hundred chickens and brought stories
of water three feet deep o'n his farm
at South Bay. a settlement two miles
south of Lake Okechcbee, about 45
miles west of here. He said a meeting
of the South Boy community
council had been%eld Friday and decision
reached that the condition was
not such as to call for assistance and
that distressed persons were being
cared for by neighbors on high land.
He complained against what he
termed inadequate drainage facilities
in his section. Mir. Moore's farm is
on land lower than much of the other
land in that olcality.
F. C. Elliot, of Tallahassee, state
drainage engineer, who has been here
for a week looking after canal control,
in reply to Mr. Moore's comolaint,
said that no claim has ever
been made that the plan of reclamation
of the Everglades is completed.
He pointed out that in literature issued
by state rfficials ;n charge of
saVs of state land and the plan of
reclamation warning has been given
against settlers going into undrained
areas.
Mr. Moore's farm is in Palm Beach
subdrainage district, the subdrainage
work that is now under way there not
having been completed.
Mr. Moore said he had made no
?st,imnte ;n his telegram to his wife of
the number of persona rendered homeless
by the flood and denied that he
had fixed 10,000 as the number, recalling
that there are not. to exceed
2,000 persons in the overflowed portion
of the Everglades.
The Red Cross of Palm Beach county
has investigated reports of flood
conditions and reported that the situation
is not such as to call for relief,
the community affected declaring
that this is no distress warranting
action the Red Cross or other
TPMT18 persons, who came in with '
Mr. Moore today, appear to be the
only ones driven from their homes
by the high water at South Bay.
Ihere is no information here tonight
as to conditions elsewhere in the
EveTglades. The whole number of
acres of cleared land inundated on
which crops would have been planted
is estimated to be about tow sections,
the equivalent of about 1,000 acres.

GREEKS FRANTIC
TO EVACUATE
Adrianople, Oct. 22 (By the Associated
Press).?The exodus of refugees
throughout the territory occupied
by French detachments has
shown increased disorder in the past
48 hours. The moving columns are
repeatedly blocked b;: the frantic efforts
of the refugees to accellerale
the pace as well as by new columns
arriving from side roads or across
the iields.
The situation has seriously alarmed
the French high command, which has
only 2,500 troops for the entire area.
The French charge the Greeks with
being the primary cause of the panic
among the refugees, alleging the
Greek command issued orders to the
population to evacuate within ten
days, a period which is now drawing
to a close.
The evacuation of such large numbers
in ten days over the single artery
to Karagatch was a physical impossibility
and the departure of the
people has not yet been half com
pleted. The Greek governor general
was dismissed yesterday, because ho
failed to hold the exodus in check.
A French official declared: 'The
governor general has incurred a terrible
responsibility because more
deaths will be caused by the precipitate
lighting than by. any other
thing."
The governor general explained
that he was trying with al his power
to control the exodus and keep it orderly
but was helpless against the
cvei whelming mass. The Associated
Pi ess correspondent talking with
many of the refugees at various
points throughout the district found
exaggerated stories current everywhere
of hte activities of Comitadjis
and bandits and also a universal feeling
against remaining in the country
until the arrival of the Turkish gendarmeries.
The refugees place no reliance in
the French. The mayor of one of
the villages said: "We are going because
we shall be massacred if we
stay. Smyrna has taught us a lesson.
France gave East Thrace away
to the Turks; now France wants to
prevent us from going to a country
firtnrtuie -yhai* f
not listen."
An allied officer explained to the
mayor that the population had 40 <
days in which to leave but the mayor
replied: "We shall go before the
Turkish gendarmerie arrive."

DEATH CLAIMS C
LYMAN ABBOTT
New York, Oct. 22.?Dr. I.yman
Abbott, editor in chief of Hie Out- ed
look, with which he hu been tuo- LI
ciated nearly 40 years; clergyman, de
lawyer, author and successor to Hen- Dc
ry 'Ward Beecher as pastor of Ply- re
mouth fc'hurch, Brooklyn, died today, sh
He would have been 87 years old next At
December. When the end came his isl
four sons and two daughters were at pr<
the bedside.
Dr. Abbott suffered a severe at- vii
. tack of bronchitis at his country de'
home in Cornwall on the Hudson, last tui
summer, from which he never fully
recovered. He returned to his city die
home two weeks ago. ne'
I>r. Abbott was one of the most ac- of
tive leaders in many avenues of re- pr<
ligious and civic thought in the Unit- cei
' ed States. As a preacher, editor, au- tin
thor and theologian he exhibited a rie
! quality of character which impressed pci
itself on all who came in contact with l"a
him, a singular poise and serenity of at<
spirit. "F
In his early youth, after gradua- bel
tion from the University of the City th?
, of New York, he studied law and was res
: admitted to the bar, and afterwards fa?
practiced in partnership with his ter
' brothers, Benjamin V. and Austin Ab- pr<
I bott. Giving up the law for theology, pol
1 he studied for the ministry of the ter
Congregational church, with his un- thi
cle, S. C. Abbott, and was ordained at wh
Farmington, Maine, in 1860. His thi
. first charge was in Terre Haute, Ind., 1
where he remained five years. sei
As editor of The Christian Union,
which was later to be known as The aw
! Outlook, his work, in association with er
that of the Rev. Henry Ward Beech- wa
er, marked b'"1 as a man of great
, proijyse and one who saw religion, po1
not narrowly conventionalized but ov- boi
I erlapping and spiritualizing many of Ie>!
the social and civil problems of the his
time.
After the death of Mr. Beecher, Dr. saj
i Abbott became pastor of Plymouth
! church, in Brooklyn, where his pre- pei
decessor has earned fame as one of
I the foremost pulm^orators in Ameri- po^
ca. He was ir/..alled in Plymouth
(church Januarjr 16, 1890, and re- be
niained in charge until 1899, when he of
iyfr?r?h J?? published ?v life of Hop- bla
ry Ward Beecher and a volume of his
sermons. ,+ * Rei
In Dr. Abbott's work as editor of of
The Outlook, in which he was ass* nii
ciated in his long career with many on

touches to his cabinet list for
escntation to the king tomorrow.
Lord Cave, former home secretary,
lited Bonar Law today, but nothing
veloped to throw light on the fure.
The Sunday papers are full of pro tions
regarding the program of the
w government and the composition
the cabinet. All give advice to the
Dspective prime minister on the ncisity
of settling foreign affairs, so
*t the country's trade may be car
d on. The Sunday Observer up
nls for fair play fur Bonar law and
i colleagues and urges the immedi- ^
i clearing up of foreign affairs. C*
or," it adds, "the coalition has lef V.
hind it a far more serious situation \
in the country has yet begun to
ilize. The Channk crisis, reacting
and wide on the rest of our exnul
connections, has worked to the
il'ound prejudice of our whole world
licy and of our own most vital inests.
After a disastrous six weeks
general situation is no longer
at it was before?it is deeply
uiged to our detriment."
Referring to IJoyd George, The Ob ver
says:
'TIm' retiring premier is by far and
ay the most brilliant popular leadin
the world. His peace ministry
s much below his war ministry in
rit. A greater tenure of office and
iver will return to him in due sea\?not,
we hope, before he has had
sure enough to refresh and deepen
i thoughts."
The Sunday Times in an editorial
?s:
For the time being the greatest
rsonal force and the most fascinat:
figure in our politics is out of
*er"
Die paper considers that it should
recorded that "there is one portion
his career that will always be
izened in letters of gold in British
nals . . By hi9 transcendent " '
-vices in the war, first as minister
munitions and second in the preership,
he brought about victory,
which alone his whole being was
itered. Threw into the scale evj
defect of personality that critim
may discover and every mistake
policy that may be imputed to him
ice the armistice, Lloyd George still
nains of al Hiving Britons the one
whome the country and the em
e are most indebted."
The Sunday Times thinks that the
.intry will be safe in the hands of
prime minister as level headed as
nar Law.
"He is not a great man, nor a clever
in," says the paper, "hut Great
itain just now is looking for a man
lose character it can trust and on
lose not too exciting abilities it
pes to repose in tranquillity and
is disposed to believe that it has
jnd what it wants in Bon&r Law."
Regarding the rumors of Bonar
w's health, the political corresndent
of The People claims t>
ow that the statement :hat Bona'
w's medical advisers warned him
ainat taking a heavy responsibility
not correct.
"The new leader was never in bet
health," he declares, "and his doc
gave him a cleun bill of health '
