BOSTON, Doc. 3.—Twenty- seven men were burned to death early to-day in a fire which destroyed the Arcadia lodging house at No. 1202 Washington street. This was, the heaviest death toll ever recorded in a fire in Boston. Two persons were fatally in jured with more than a score slightly hurt or overcome by smoke. There were 179 asleep in the lodg ing house when the fire broke out. The flames spread swiftly through the flimsy building and a number of men caught on the upper floors leaped from windows. All of the victims were poverty- stricken men, the lodging house being a 15-cent night affair, catering to the poor. Many of them were homeless wanderers, and for tills reason the authorities believe that the names of all the victims will never be known. The conflagration was attended by many thrilling escapes. Firemen spread nets and into these many of the panic-stricken lodgers leaped. One man wrapped a mattress around his body and jumped from the fifth floor, the mattress saving his life. Policemen from the East Dedham street station lined along the fire es cape were forced to beat the fugi tives with their clubs to start them on their way to the street and clear the fire escape to make room for oth ers fleeing from the building. The meager flro escapes on the rear of the building offered escape to only a few. Those occupying rooms in the front of the building were cut off by a wall of flame which soared up the stairways and drove them to the windows to escape suffocation. There was no fire escape on the front or side of the building, and most of the dead were found near the win dows. Mrs. Pankhurst to Be Arrested To-day Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
