The fire tonight fortunately emn- tailed no loss of life, according to reports 'from responsible officials, Two boys were reported slightly injured when they jumped from windows of the blazing section of the building, Their fall was brok- en by a deep bank of show. The fire caused great excitement 'n Quebec City, the nerves of the itizens being already on edge as a result of Saint-Chares Hospice disaster. The Saint-Louis Academy is lo- 'ated in the heart of the best resi- lential section of Quebec, within a tone-throw of the Legislative buildings of the province and the iomes of the most prominent peo. ple of the city, many of whose children attended the Institutiop. The tire took hold above the dor- mitortes in the six-storey boarding school and the rescue work was made easler, Citizens of Quebee, alarmed by the outbreak following so closely on the heels of the fire at the Hos- pice Saint Charles, crowded to the scene of the fire. The {institution visited by fire this evening was a boarding school | for boys of the better class, Direct- f |1y behind the Berchman's Building the Sacre Coeur de Marie one of the most ornate edifices in the city, On the oppe-r site corner is the St. Louls Acpd- omy, which at one time, it wes is 'eared, might be 8 prey to the lames. On the same street, 8 few undred yards away, was the Good ; , 'hepherd Home, in which a large !| number of little girls were board- ed. The pupils in these nearby es- tablishments were removed in good order mn the early stages of the fire for safety's sake. Despite the fact that the 140 boys housed in the college were in 73 | their dormitories at the time of the outbreak, all escaped. Only the heroic work of the nuns prevented the recurrence of another tragedy. Two of the sisters were sent to hospital from burns received when they remained behind to make sure that all had escaped.

Judge Chester R., Shook sharply ~ CAUSED BY RENUS| upbraided Remus for conduet' which had produced "almost un-: paralleled conditions" and an. nounced that sentence would bg deferred until after completion of the murder trial, Remus, acting'as his own chief counsel, interrupted the testimony of his adopted daughter, Ruth Holmes Remus, born of the first marriage of the wife he slew, and demanded that the jury be sent from the courtroom so that he might argue a legal point. He started with an explanation of his plea of ttransitory maniacal insanity, swept: into a legal and medical definition of the terms of his plea and then became em broiled with the prosecutors in heated exchange over indictment of defence witnesses, Whirling toward Prosecutor Charles P, Taft and his assistants, Remus sneered 'These three novices."
