Frightful Pennsylvania Holocaust Italian Laborers Were the Victims. for life died fighting BY A building ocupied by 150 of the Italian laborers as a bunkhouse. The fire originated from an overheated stove. The bunks were filled with straw and the flames spread with lightning rapidity from one end of the building to the other. There was but one door to the house and small windows and in a moment the place was transformed into a veritable death trap. Those nearest the door escaped and then there ensued a desperate fight at the exit. The men outside who had escaped fought to make their way back into the seething furnace, to secure their money from the bunks, yesterday having been pay day. Those who were imprisoned fought for egress. The door at once became choked with the injured and dying and all possible escape for the unfortunates was cut off. Fourteen bodies were found wedged in and around the door. y Twenty bodies were taken out before noon. The injured were removed to hospitals at Johnstown.

BOSTON, Nov. 21 Today was an ideal one for the great game of the football season between Harvard Rnd Yale. The crowd which witnessed the game excurwas an ideal one. Twenty-fiv- e sion trains brought loads of visitors from surrounding cities. All the seats were sold and it is estimated that 40,000 people witnessed the game and that 10,000 were unable to gain admission to the grounds. Some seats commanded a premium of $100. The betting before the game was called was 5 to 1 on Yale. The game opened with Harvard's kick-of- f. From then on the contest was a stubborn one, Mitchell being always to the fore. The contest continued bitter, every yard being contested. There were no spectacular plays and the teams seemed evenly matched. . OF THE ARMY Enterprise the Canyon Will Rival Any in th State.

STATEMENT OF FACTS Was It Permitted to Run In Order That Criminals Might Bs Shielded? The story of the i. K saloon is a story of a dive of the dives. Even outside of the charges of robtiery brought against the proprietor, George H. Wells sutthifut evidence has been furnished to prove that thcnsaoclallons of that resort nre criminal. It is a dive. It Is located where dives and those who resort thereto have their rendezvous on the levee. Why should a proprietor lie protected and allowed to continue u course of crime when he hus no valid license and is entitled to no protection? This was the case in the matter of the O. K. license. From the 1st to the 23rd of October the O. K saloon did business Illegally without a license. It wus the administration's right and duty to im- mediately dose that house. The license should be aiid In advance. Neither of these things was done. It was between the two dates mentioned, and while the officers of the law permitted that saloon to curry on business illegally, It having no license, that the crimes charged against ail the men now arrested were rniuniltted.

Wells began to run his saloon without a license, no fee having been paid as required by law, and no license having been issued by the council as required by law. The administration knew that this saloon was running illegally. On the 17th and 20th of October George H. Wells, proprietor of the O. K. saloon, is charged with having In two robberies. On the 23rd day of October, when charges hud publicly been made against him that he was violating the law the administration notified him to pay hts license fee and accepted said fee and issued a pretended license to him. On the 26th day of October charges were filed against him by the chief of police with the city council. His license was not revoked noted withstanding the fact that the charges were proved. The administration now claims to have permitted him to run In order to catch the criminals. If this be true the administration also must have permitted him to run during the preceding period, when his saloon was operated without a license, in order that he might shield criminals and incite to and participate In crime. |
