22 INMATES OF AN
INSANE ASYLUM BURNED
Deaths Occurred When Manhattan
State Hospital Was Partially Burn
ed Sunday.
New York, Feb. IS.—A terrific blast,
set by dredgers in Hell Gate last night,
rocked the buildings of the Manhat
tan State hospital for the insane on
Ward’s' island in East river, and set
the (1,338 inmates cowering and wail
ing with a sense of impending doom.
Attendants calmed them and got
them to lied, but before morning the
than fantasied by the disordered brains
had come true for 22 of the maddest.
.They had been burned to death in a
tierce tire that swept the west wing of
the main building. Three heroic at
tendants dual with them, striving to
the last to rescue them.
Hospital authorities and City Aled
ical Examiner Norris, who rushed to
the scene, said that in all probability
the blast had been the immediate
cause of the tire. According to their
theory, it caused a break in the insu
lation of electric wires in the attic
of the building. A short circuit, they
J think, did the rest, j
The lire was discovered at a :(k*>
o’clock by Alicliael Campbell, an at
tendant. in ward 43, in which all the
fatalities occurred. His calm, heroic
work, and that'of James Hill, attend
ant in charge, and Patrick Billigan,
of Hartford. Conn., George A. de Emo.
and George Freiss, the three attend
ants who were burned to death* l>re
jvented a far greater holocaust.
Campliell manned a house line and
fought back the flames, while the oth
ers. directed by Hill, ran up and dawn
the 200 feet top floor corridor, rous
ing the patients with the cool order:
“All up for breakfast.”
As far.as the maniacs—declared by
Supt. .Marcus Ileyman to have been
tb(> most dangerous on the island—
could he marshalled from their rooms
they were marched in orderly proces
sion to the lire proof diniji" mail, far
from the scene of the lire!
Seventy of the J>2 inmates of ward
43 hail been led or carried to safety
when a huge water tank in the blaz
ing attic crashed through the ceiling,
completely blocking the corridor that
led to safety, and tilling the hall with
flames and smoke. City firemen, fight
ing their way past the blazing bar
riers, brought out several struggling
and screaming maniacs, and several
who had been overcome by smoke
while dressing for the “breakfast.”
.Most of the dead were found in the
rooms and corridors beyond the fallen
tank. Several were lielieved to have
been buried Iteneath debris when the
floor ga v ve way.
Seventeen bodies of inmates and
one believed to be that of an attend
ant. had been recovered tonight. In
addition, a few charred bones bad
been fqund, which were believed to bo
all that was left of some of those un
accounted for.
Onlv two of the 18 bodies recovered
had been identified. They were'those
of Solomon Applelmum and Nathan
Cohen. .Most ofc the others were, burn
ed beyond recognition, and probably
never will be identified positively.
The building in which the fire oc
curred —the so-called “main building”
—is ancient brick and wood structure,
shaped like the letter E. It is three
stories high, and has accommodations
for a maximum of 2,200 patients.
There were about 1,000 in it this morn
ing when the fire was discovered and
of these, about 300 were seriously en
dangered by the flames. They were
the patients in the west wing.

FARMING OUTLOOK IN
SOUTHEAST IS BETTER
However, there Are Areas in Very
Bad Shape From Every Standpoint.
Atlanta, Feb. 17.—The general farm
mirlook in the southeastern states is
much more encouraging than at this
time Inst year, biu there are areas
In very bad shape from every stand
point, the bureau of agricultural econ
rnics of the .United” States department
of agriculture declared today in it*
mid-month crop report Mr the stales
of North Carolina. Florida. Alabama,
Touossee and Georgia. Idle land in
the worst weevil infested areas, the
report asserted, will run from MO t<>
20 per cent during the coming season.
The movement of labor from the
fa rips to the industrial centers con
tinues, the review said, and farmers
are unable to meet the competitive
prices. The situation wfls said to bo
serious in certain portions of Georgia,
South Carolna ami North Carolina.
A general increase in - fertilizers is
expected, according to the report, ex
cept in North Carotin ;)nd north
Georgia, where the weevil was Uctive.
during the past season.
Georgia livestock is in unusually
good condition on account of the mild
winter, the report asserted* adding
that the condition / of range cattle is
poor in Florida. Movement of hogs
is brisk except in Florida, whepe they
have been waiting for cooler weather.
Florida reports heavy movements of
cabbage, celery and lettuce and prepa
ration of ground is going forward for
melons in the southern belt. The
Florida cantaloupe acreage is expect
ed to he larger this season. The gen
eral tendency for increased crops are
good, but growing too rapidly. The
( > ol(l spell tiie last few days is .retard
ing development. The Georgia pimen
to acreage extends into many new
counties.
The grain crop in North Carolina
is noted as doing well. It has been
helped in Tennessee by the snow.
South Florida is now planting corn.
Florida is expected to plant cotton
earlier this year than usual. The sea
island territory of Georgia, reports in
dicate, will go largely into, short staple
cotton this season. Indications are
for an increase in the southern portion
of Georgia, and a decrease in acreage
in the .upper third of the state.
Farmers appear undecided whether to
plant peanuts or cotton and are wait
ing on price indications. The newly
devastated weevil territory in north
Georgia is expected to increase the pea
nut acreage.
Irish potato planting in well ad
vanced in Florida, Georgia and Ala
bama.
Probable increases in tlie sweet po
tato acreage is indicated in uuper
Georgia and South Carolina. Smaller
amount of potatoefTare in storage than
last year in most of the southeastern
stales.
Damp weather suitable for prepar
ing tobacco for market is reported
from Tennessee. Preparation for seed
beds for the coming season is com
pleted in the extrerrfe! /south, and nofr
going on in the upper sections. *A
considerable increase l nn the “bright.”
tobacco territory is taking place in
Georgia, mostly of an experiments 1 na
ture.
The condition of citrus groves is
reported excellent. Fruit is moving
nicely but cooler weather rs needed.
Good yields of strawberries from
Florida, lower Alabama and Georgia
are reported. ‘ The crop is unsually
advanced in most of the territory with
a large increase in acreage! in Georgia.
