SAVED BY A FEUD
Istanbul, June 6. ·
At least 57 were killed-many suffocated in their beds without awaking—in the early morning of Wednesday-when a fire swept through the 22-storey La Salle Hotel in the heart of Chi- cago. Fire department sources estimated that about 200 persons were injured. The first alarm was turned in at 12.35 this morn- ing when most of the 1,100 guests had retired. Within 10 minutes, the first three floors were engulfed in flames and both main street exits from the 37-year-old hotel were impassable.
Fire alarms were sounded over a wide area and more than ports that the 300 firemen battled the blaze death roll had reached before bringing under con- 1,480. trol three hours later.
