Chicago, Dec. 31-At / o'clock this
afternoon the estimate Of the dead in
yesterdays fire in the Iroquois theater
is 564. OF 157 persons known to have
been injured probably one,third it Is
believed cannot live. The missing are
estimated at 314 but it is expected
that many of these will be accounted
for probably the large majority of
them
No additional bodies were found to-
day in the ruins of the theater.
1t is no extravaganza of language to
say that the city of Chicago is stunned
by the overwhelming tragedy which
was enacted when the Iroquos theater.
which housed the spectacular play of
"Mr. Bluebeard" became chamber of
horrors indeed
There is the deepest woe in hun
dreds of homes today, deep sorrow in
thousands of others and pity. beyond
potency of words to convey, in all.
Morgues are still the sorrow haunted
center of many searchers.
Possibly nothing could better typify
the depth of sympathy which is felt
for those who have suffered directly
by the calamity than the action of the
striking livery drivers. Without dis
senting voice they decided on a
truce of ten days. President Albert
Young OF the union. following the
meeting issued the following decree
which was distributed broadcast.
Owing to the great disaster to the
public caused by the fire at the Iro-
quois theater, do hereby declare a
truce in the present strike Of under
takers and livery drivers for ten days
and do further request that every man
now on the strike report at once at his
respective places OF employment and
do everything in his power to assist
his employer in caring for the wants |
of the public Wages are no consider
ation."
Among many of the theatrical men |
in other Chicago theaters |
the responsibility for the fire is as ,
cribed today to the careless placing of
the electric arc light apparatus too
close to one of the hanging borders of
The scenery. The failure of the expect !
ed fire protection is attributed by the
insurance men to trouble with the as
Oestos curtain. The stage is always
recognized as the danger point in a
-heater and the desire is to have it cut
off from the auditorium as thoroughly
rs possible. |
