At the Auditorium Armory, small cots were in the arena, and preparations were made to house people in other parts of the immense building. Among the destitute cared for at the Auditorium were two or more small children from the Home for the Friendless. The building is on the edge of the fire-swept zone, and late today the children were hastily removed. They got more than coffee and rolls, however, been used the head nurse prepared their supper, even to milk for the babies, and the children, their supper clothes, nurses, and what could be taken from the building, were bundled into huge trucks and rushed to safety. Scores of negro houses were swept by the stairways, and many of the former occupants were left destitute, many having no money to buy anything else for the negroes was carried out on the same scale as that for which they were. The idea of individuals caring for others was fortunate than themselves, spread over the entire city late in the day when an afternoon paper issued an appeal for homes for those whose houses had burned. Hundreds telephoned the new spatter office, which became a clearing-house for the homeless and the homes open to them. Headquart ci'M at the Auditorium Armory also placed hundreds more.  and telephones there were kept busy.
