CROWDS OF sEARcHERs STILL
CONTINUE AT THE MoRGuEs

The crowds Of searchers for rela-
tives and friends continued at the
morgues during the day. While the
number OF persons pressing for It'd
ings or identification showed material
diminution the anxiety and WEAKNESS
was intensified The constant pres
ence of the black wagons Of under
takers were conspicuous additions to
the many scattered neighborhoods
where the morgues are located. a
mournful variation was the occasional
appearance Of bands playing dirges as
funerals slowly passed toward church
es, railway stations and cemeteries.
At the hospitals, where many fear
fully burned persons are being cared
for. death was being momentarily
awaited In number of cases. All
that could be done had been except to
sit and watch for the last BREATH
The majority Of the striking drivers
have returned to work and 1t is not
likely that any funerals will be inter-
fered with.
The City Press association has dis
continued all attempts to keep track
OF the number Of dead bodies at the
mOf9ueS, the IacI Delng palpaDle lhal
the effort was more productive Of
error than genuine information owing
to the confusion incident to the re-
moval of bodies and the dazed condi-
tion Of those in charge as the result
Of overwork and loss of sleep.
Instead of records at the morgues
the issue of burial permits at the cor
oner's Office was substituted as less
unsatisfactory method Of holding the
death count

coRoNER's JURY VISITS
SCENE or CATASTROPHE

The coroner's jury visited the scene
Of the disaster during the evening.
The jury first went to the stage and
Deputy Coroner Buckley pointed out
the spot where the fire was discovered.
The seats in the first rows on the
first floor were burned, but back OF
that the orchestra chairs were In good
condition.
All that was left of the 180 pieces
of scenery used in the production Of
the extravaganza were small piles OF
ashes where the scenery had dropped
and burned on the stage. The steel
franc Of the arc lights. one Of which
is said to have caused the catastrophe,
were piled In confusion near the front
Of the stage.
The jury questioned Coroner Trae-
ger regarding the asbestos curtain
that had become fastened when an at
tempt was made to lower it and said
they did not understand why 1t was
put In unless 1t could be used under
all conditions In case Of fire.
The members Of the jury while en-
gagged in inspecting the stage frequent
~ remarked that the protection against
fire seemed to them to have been in
adequate. The jury then climbed the
stairway leading to the first balcony.
Here the plush covering Of the seats
was found to be burned on every seat
from wall to wall and from the front
row of the balcony to the last. An in
spection was made of the exits leading
to the fire escapes at the north end Of
the building

was the testimony Of everyone thai
he wasn't within a yard of the ball.
The locals began the game list
lessly, allowing the Senators to run
in two men on a job lot of errors il
the first inning. They sscored
again in the second and in the
fourth. The game was absolutely
devoid of interesting features up to
the last half of the sixth when thei
Indians took batting streak,
With two men out, Pork landed
on the ball for a two base lit,
bringing in two men. Then Grant
sent one over the fence, scoring
Porkney, and making home run
himself. This tied the score and
il remained so till the first half Of
the tenth, when the visitors made
good for another run.
The Senator's had weakened,
their pitcher was wild aild they
were fnmbling the ball. Chicka-
sha had every opportunity to win,
had not the umpire come to the
rescue Of the visitors. If Crotty
had not made his rotten decision
calling Hauser out, the bases would
have been full and one man would
have been forced home BY Adams,
leavingl the bases still full. Even
with the decision there would have
been chance to tie the score if
Cussens hadn't been caught nap
ping on third
On the whole the game was an
exhibition of rotten ball playing.
There were errors galore. Lock
miller pitched 2 good game, Adams
did fairly well but was wild at times.
Phillips, the new man in the local
team, was the star failure. He
couid't hit the ball il it was living
on the ground. Phillips needs a
good long rest and the manager
ought to give it to him.
The boys went to Enid this
morning for series Of games al
that place.

Ten Inning Game
Lost by the Locals on Rank De

The baseball fans returned from
the park yesterday breathing out
threatenings against umpire Croft

game by a score Of S to 4 after ten
innings Of hard work. That the
Senators stole the game was freely
charged, bnt less blame must be
attached to the Guthrieites than to

one Of the most popniaa umpires Of
the season. His decisions have
been exceptionally fair, but he

A Killer Killed The Scripture Fulfilled.

OF all the many fulfillments of

upon the sons of Noah and
which find repetition all through

more complete than that told in

of the taking off of Harry Will

By the apt irony of fate he was
slain almost on the spot where he
murdered DR.. AlIsops some years
ago and under like circumstances.

without being given a dogs

without cringing plea for life,
from his murderer. Williams.

Since signalling bis prowess

Williams, of Cleveland, has enjoy
ed the respect of all men, white
and black, in East Bolivar, who
placed value upon their mortal
coils. OF cluster of bad men
in that delta garden spot, Harry
was the recognized leader. The
crown of this leadership was in
that crowning Mississippi shame
and crime the atrocious torture
and burning Of the negro man and
wife, at Lehrton, 10 SunAower
county. There have been snbse-
quent lynchings and murders Of
negroes in his vicinity in which
he may have figured and added to
his reputation. But bis chief re-
