Paris. May "a somber feeling per.
vades every class Of society. II is now
estimated there were about 1900 persons In
the grand bazaar when the fire was dis.
covered about half OF whom escaped
unhurt Some estimates place the number
of dead at l4S, others at n still higher fig
ure.
| The amount OF administrative negligence
surrounding the catastrophe is almost in
| conceivable. Tho structure was so COM
bustible that many of the victims II not
| most of them, must have been burned
alive without sufocation. No sort OF in
spection seems to have been made In ad-
vance by the municipal or police authori-
ties or by the project of police.
DIR. Nachtel, who has directed the am
bulance work. says the number of bodies
found gives a very inadequate idea of the
number of victims. as dozens were burned
completely to ashes
