According to the sisters, the pupils were marching out In orderly manner until the leaders, who had reached the front door, made the mistake of rush ing into the vestibule at the front exit instead of going out at the rear door as they had been trained to do. Tnis caused confusion among those who followed and congestion in the vestibule. Meanwhile.' the flames had reached the stairways and caught the struggling children. . Within five min utes the flames were shooting from all tho windows and exits. . Aid Comes Too Late. The local firemen, unable to control the blaze, summoned aid from Salara, Danvera and Marblehead, but., this came too late. - The police and firemen bent their en ergies chiefly to pulling children from the doors and windows.

There were no fire escapes on the out side of the building. Deeds of hero ism were not wanting.

NOTE NOW ON WAY TO GREAT BRITAIN EE JT REARRESTED IMMEDIATELY Washington, Oct. ; 28. America's long-considered protest against Brit ish Interference . with commerce be tween the United States and Europe has been dispatched to London by spe cial messenger ( and will 'be' presented by Ambassador Page at the British Foreign Office next week. It became known that the note, which is about 10,000 words long and covers exhaustively the argument of the American Government on all phas es interference with neutral trade, was RDDroved by the President last Satur day and started on its way to London Sunday. Alexander W. Kirk, third secretary of the American Embassy at Berlin, who had returned ta Washington, carrying documents from Ambassador Gerard, was entrusted wnn me mis- inn nn his return journey to Berlin. The fact that the communication had heen sent was kept secret, instructions havtnit he.en iriven to officials tnat no announcement of any Kind was to ue nmrtB about it. That it contains a rep etition of arguments made in the note of March 30, which recorded tho Wash- Inirton Government s , nrsi piuiyai ooinat tha order-in-council or so-called blockade, is admitted, but no intima tion was given by omciais as io measures are proposed in the event that there is no modification of Brit ish practices. Not only does the latest communica tion ackwoldedge tne various and memoranda sent by the British r. on olnro March 30. but It UUVCIUWUv -- also acknowledges and discusses the i w mo that came from Great J Britain in January in response to tne first protests Dy we uiw against interference with neutral trade. It was the note now on its way which former Secretary Bryan advo cated sending at the same time that the second Lusitania note was dis patched to Berlin last June.

Scholx and Paul Daeche were ar raigned in Weehawken, Ni J, police court on charges in connection with an alleged plot to blow tip steamships sail ing from New York with munitions "for the allies. The three man were discharged, but immediately re-arrested on charges of conspiracy sworn out by Chief Flynn, of the secret service. Fay and Scholi were brought to New York by federal officers. They will be arraigned before United State. Com missioner Houghton on the complaint sworn out by Chief Flynn. The com plaint charges that the three, in con (junction with Dr. Herbert Kienzle. held under $25,000 yesterday, and Max Urietung, still at liberty, conspired to commit offense against the United States. After failing to locate Brietung at his home or his office here, the police today sent out a general alarm for him. . Daeche agreed to go to New York with the federal officers, but when counsel advised him that he had the right of arraignment before the near est federal commissioner, he claimed that privilege, saying he had nothing in common with the others and did not care to go to New York without ar raignment. He was then turned over to an assistant of Chief Flynn. The chief said he was in possession of in formation which showed that Fay had told a man named Veigh that the prop er way to stop the shipment of muni tions to the allies, was to blow up the chemical works where repairs could not be quickly made. Fay also ridiculed some of the bombs found on various ships in the harbor and declared they were no good and were made by amateurs. "Joke bombs," he termed them. He said they would do no effective dam age. Accordine to the Chief. Fay asserted that when he left Holland for Ameri ca, he carried a letter to a high offi cial, but on the first day out destroyed It, fearing he might be searched and the letter found. Later Report Say Plot Is Very Serlou New York, Oct 27. The federal se cret service agents today continued their investigation of the stories told on Lieutenant Robert Fay of the Ger man army and others alleged to be concerned, in the plot to blow up war munitions and vessels or supply plants in America. Meanwhile, they awaited the ar rival here of Max Breltung, named in the complaint by Chief Flynn as one of the alleged conspirators. Breltung left Chicago yesterday. It was reported today, that, after Breltung was taken Into custody, fur ther disclosures would be made indi cating that the conspiracy was the most serious plcft uncovered in this country since the war began. . None of the federal officers would admit that any persons higher upj were sought. I Paul S. Sieb, who has been living in New York under the name of Karl F. Opegaarde since last February, and who acted as brokor in the sale of some of the explosive ingredients sold to Fay, i quoted today as saying that two months ago Max Breltung asked to buy 360 pounds of potassium chlor ate. Sieb said he sold the enemicais to Breltung for $110. Two weeks ago he said Dr. Herbert Kienzle askea him to buy 100 pounds of tri-nltro tol uol for Fay and that Dr. Kienzle in troduced him to Fay. He said that he obtained twenty-five pounds of the chemical and sold it to Fay. "Fay admitted he wanted to blow up something with the T. N. T. but he did not mention destroying ships at sea. He said he wanted to blow up the main chemical plant in this coun try which was supply a certain acid to the manufacturers of high explos ive shells. He said they would go to this plant at night when no one would be there and so no lives would be lost. I know now tnat it was a lane story told for my benefit" The plot became Known wnen mo men from whom Sieb bought tne chemicals reported the purchase to the French naval attache here and he notified the police. ' ' Breltung surrendered toaay to in authorities. He appeared perore uni ta,i Rtataa Commissioner Houghton. accompanied by counsel and after the government's complaint naa -a. tn him. he was held under a $25,000 bail for further hearing next week.
