CABINET SESSION
AT tonight's session Of the cabinet it
was decided to ask the chamber of dep
rties for special credit in aid of the
needy families. The minister of Justice
communicated to his colleagues the
first. results OF the inquiry into the causes
OF the fire. The investigating magis-
trate, M. Berlotu, reports that there was
great carelessness and imprudence in
the principal arrangements of the ba-
zaar.
Former United States Consul General
s. e. Morse said to a representative of
the Associated Press:
1T was singularly fortunate that there
was only one American victim. This
was indeed remarkable, for just now
there is an unusually large number of
Americans in Paris. They are generous
supporters of such fetes as the Grand
Bazaar des Charitie. and moreover it
gave them favorable opportunity of
getting into close quarters with the ar

ONE AMERICAN VICTIM
Mrs. ,Porges was the only American
victim. She was Miss Weisweiller.
Her daughter accompanied her to the
bazaar and escaped uninjured. The
Porges family resides in Vienna.
One feature which Is generally re-
marked of the victims taken from the
Palais de pIndustrie is that the head is
thrown back and the arms are uplifted
with peculiarly weird effect.
The scene on the Champs Elysee Is
like that on popular fete days. The
throngs are numerous and multitudes
are driving about From time to time a
solemn hush falls on the crowd and ev-
cry head is barred a the hearse passes by.
