but today had not found the least
trace of her.
Adele Philipson, eight years old, was
one of the children struck down and
trampled to death. Her body was re-
moved by the firemen and taken to a
drug store. There the child was seen
by her mother who had escaped unin-
jured. The mother became hysterical
but was not permitted to go near the
child's body. Mrs. Philipson was lead
away and did not learn the truth for
two hours.
Foremost among the remarkable es-
capes was that of Winnie Gallagher
IL years old. The girl occupied a seat
in the third row on the main floor and
that she was able to make her way
through the struggling mass of strong
er and older persons is considered re-
markable by the police.
Unassisted the girl made her way
over the heads of terror-stricken per-
sons and escaped. When she reached
the street her clothing was torn al
most into SnreQS.
Among the first persons to escape
were Joseph Graham and Dorothy
Bour, two children. They were in
the parquette, fifteen rows from the

the front and told us to sit stu, hu,
we decided we could get out and right
away.
-Four women tainted right near me
and nearly all others seemed dazed
and just sat still. We got up AMI
kicked the door open. I think a lot of
the others could have come too. II
they bad not been so scared. We stood
outside until they brought dead man
out and then we went home"
A list of descriptions of unidentified

OF the victims ranged from to q

The Inspector, Edward LaughIin, re-
no~ted that no provisions of the or

ally considered TO be an absolutely
fire proof structure.
With the announcement that one
jury of representative citizens would
listen to all the evidence regarding
the fire and return single verdict fol-
all the victims, Coroner Treger today
promptly empanelled a jury.
National Republican Committeemar

oner that the death of Mr.. Hoyt's
daughter. Mrs. F. Morton Fox, and
her three children would be taken as
a basis for the investigation.
The coroner's jury is as follows:
l.. III. Myers, secretary of the Ken
nedy Furniture company
DIR. Peter Byrnes, salesman for Ly-

1obey Furniture company.

Browning, King & Company.
John w. Fine. salesman for A. H
Revell & Company.

Marshall Field & Company.
Continued sight of dead bodies ly-
ing huddled on the floors and tables
of the various city morgues proved
too much during the afternoon fol-
some of the jurors.
Several members objected to being
forced TO view the bodies and Juror
Joseph Cummings practically collaps-
ed at Rolston's morgue where the jury
was forced to step over the dead bodies
IN their tour of inspection.
Messrs. Davis and Powers, man.
ayers of the Iroquois, emphaticaliy
deny that the abestos curtain refused
by ropes instead of wires. They state
that the curtain was controlled by the
strongest wires that 1t was possible
to use. The facts are. according to
them, that the curtain swayed the
moment the ten or twelve exits were
thrown open, owing to the rush OF
air.
Chief Mushman of the fire depart
lntnt said today:
'"They had man in the Iroquois
who is an ex-member of the Chicago
fire department. He should have
known what to do. 1t seems to me
that there is nothing in the world. at
least nothing that l can think Of a,
the present ument. that can save
lives when O thousand persons try
- pass through one doorway at one
time. II was the rushing. the crowd
irg ana the trampling that were re-
sponsible for the majority of the deaths
that have occurred.
Anybody who views the dead In
the morgues can tell that at a glance"
