CHICAGO
(CP)
Fifty-three
persons
perished
and
about
two
hundred
others
suffered
injuries,
many
believed
serious,
early
today
when
fire
swept
through
the
lower
floors
of
the
23-storey
La-Salle
Hotel.
It
was
the
worst
fire
in
the
history
of
Chicago.
Twelve
hundred
persons
were
in
the
hotel
at
the
time,

horrible
scene
of
smoke

More
than
five
thousand
policemen
aided
in
carrying
out
the
dead,
assisting
the
injured
and
shepherding
those
who
esdap'ed.
There
was
a

stream
of
stretchers
out
of

The
streets
were
filled
with
people
in
night
attire
and
blackened
faces,
many
hysterical
and
not
