The tolling Of bells at noon TO, an
h<Aar was in response to the expressed
sW!Sgsef Mayor Harrison. The MAJOR
aaid: Tolling OF the church bells
shrtaout the city on Chtcagos day of
mourning <or the dead who perished
in the FIRE would be an appropriate ex-
preston OF grief. The suggestion was
made to me by the clergymen and I
strongly urge pastors of all churches
to begin tolling bells at noon and to
let the mournful sound continue for an
hour. Such an expression of sorrow
would bring to the hearts and minds
OF everyone the memory of Chicago's
terrible loss"

More cases involving the wreck of
homes as result of the Iroquois fire
are still coming to light A futile
search has been conducted so far for
the body OF Harold. the five
and one-h half year old son of
e. Henning. Hospitals. morgues
and every place that could be thought
OF have been visited by the father Of
the boy and other relatives. without
success thus far. Nearly the entire
Henning family perished In the fi,e.
The boy, with three brothers and the
mother. were at the Iroqpois when the
fire broke out The mosnar in some
manner was barely saved by an un-
known rescuer. She believed her boys
behind her when she started to rur
from the theater. but the bodies of
three were later picked up and taken
to undertaking rooms. where they were
identified by the father. But the body
OF the youngest was not there. No
trace OF him, dead or alive has -been
found Mrs. Henn!ng was b dly in
jured. but her injuries We're .oi fatal.
The father believes the boy either has
been wrongly identified or may be still
alive In one of the hospitals.
