 only the legacy of yesterdays nonu
 ?ment calamity and the prediction
 that the list of fatalities in the Iro-
 quois fire will run over GOO when in
 formation is complete.
 The latest statement of dead at the
 various morgues is 564 and it is stat
 eel at the various hospitals and hotels
 70 which the injured were removed
 that of the 151 people who were in-
 lured probably one-third cannot live.
 Tue missing to-day were estimated at
 B14, but it is expected that many of
 these would be accounted for, prob
 ably large majority of them. 1t is
 no eStr'ayagance of language to say that the city is stunned by the over whelmfng tragedy which was enacted
 when the theater housed MT Blue bearde became chamber of horrors. There is the deepest woe in hundreds of homes to-day, sorrow in Il thous- and others and a pity beyond the DO. tency of words to convey, in all.
 The first streak of daylight found the morgues still the sorrow haunted canter of many searcher There were husbands searching for their wives, wives searching for hts- bands, frenzied parents seeking their lost children. so many of whom lost their lost lives and in some instances wida-eyed children, still dazed ill the horror of their experience, grouped disressedly about ln search of father or mother.
 :e,, the depth of sympathy which is felt for those who suffered directly by the calamity than the action of the strik- ing livery drivers. By a vote which was without dissenting voice it was decided to establish a truce of ten days President Albert Young of the union following the meeting, issued the following decree which was dis tfibnted broadcast.
 Owing to the great disaster to the public caused by the fire at the Iro- quois theater, do hereby declare 8 truce in the present strike of under takers and livery drivers far ten days, and do further require that every man now on strike report at once to their respective places of employment and do everything in his power to assist his employer in caring for the wants of the public. Wages are to have no consideration.
 (Signedl ALBERT YOUNG"
 Tn their turn the employers issued q call to their striking employees to re- turn to work, irrespective of any previous affiliations with any and all organizations, and promising to pro tect them in all contingencies which may arise in the future
 All night long the crowds came and went around the morgues where the bodies of the victims of the disaster lay. There were the heads of fami- lies, brothers, sisters and men and wo- men looking for those from outside cities who had bNan their guests. For hours they passed up and down before the long rows of the dead searching for the faces of the missing.
 Sorrow reigned in the residence of Dr Frank W. Gunsaulus, the noted ] divine. who lives at 261S Prairie ave nue William Mclaughlin. 19 years of age, nephew of Mrs Gunsaulus. was one of those severely burned. He | was taken to the Presbyterian hospi- tai where the attending physicians en- tertained no hope for his recovery
 Mir McLaughlins home is in Beunos Ayres. He is d member of the soph- omore class of the Ohio Wesleyan uni versity at Delaware, Ohio, and was spending his holiday vacation at the Gunsaulus's home
 All night long search was kept up tor Mary Dorothy Gartz, 12 years old and Barbara Gartz, years old, who attended the theater with their aunt, Mrs Adalaide Hopfelt. To-day their bodies had not been found and there seems to be no doubt that the children baye perished.
 They are the daughters of A. +. Gartz and the nieces of R. T.
