Montreal, Quebec, Feb. 27.—
Principal Maxwell and sixteen chil
dren perished In a fire which broke
out in Hochelaga School of the Pro
testant school commission. The
Bchool was located In a brick, two-
story building In the east end of the
city and was attended by about 200
children, whose parents are mechan
ics living in the neighborhood. The
lire started from the furnace and was
first noticed by workmen employed
nearby. The teachers were notified,
and the work of getting the children
out of the building began.
The kindergarten department was
located on the second floor, and It
was here that the loss of lire oc-
purred.
The children were started out but
on reaching the landing found the
lowcr^hail full of smoke. Into this
they refused to descend, though the
way at this time was quite safe. Hud
