afternoon In n crowded charitable bazaar
In Rue Jean Goujon. at which Duchess
d'Uzzes and other well known patronesses
were present. Many people were burned
to death. There was terrible panic dur
Ing which a NUMBER of people were in
jured. The building in which the fire
broke out was u temporary structure.
Flames We're discovered above the stall
occupied by the Duchess dUzzes, while
the place was densely crowded The
bazaar is an annual function presided
over by leaders of Partisan society. There
was wild rush for exits and older per-
sons We're borne down and trampled upon.
The infammable nature of the building
and Its contents caused the flames to
spread with great rapidity and in short
time the bazaar was q mass of flames.
The bodies of 30 victims of the conilaera-
ton, mostly women, were recovered and
laid out on the sidewalk where the
corpses formed a CHASTITY spectacle.
over hundred people have been con-
veyed to the Hotel du Faiais. but many
critical cases have been transported to
the Hospital Beaugoin. The policemen
on duty at the doors of the bazaar ssy
from 1900 to 1900 people were In the build
ing when the fire broke out; The alarm
caused rush for the DOORS which were
soon choked with people, thus preventing
the escape of many who might otherwise
have been saved The strong trampled
upon the weak young crushed the old to
