Chicago, Jan. lon the heels of the
fremen came the police, intent on the
work of rescue. Chief O'Neill and
Assistant Chief Schuettler ordered cap
tains from dozen stations to bring
their men, and then they rushed to
the theater and led the police UP the
stairs to the landing outside the east
entrance to the first balcony.
The fremen, rushing blindly up the
stairs in the dense pail of smoke, had
found their path suddenly blocked by
a wall of dead eight or ten feet high.
They discovered many persons alive
and carried them to safety. Other
firemen crawled over the mass of dead
and dragged their hose into the theater
to fight back the flames that seemed
to be crawling nearer to turn the fatal
landing into funeral pyre.
Passages Streyvn with Bodies.
Among the elevated passages lead
ing from the foyer to the balcony
were strewn scores of women and

TERRIBLE SCENES IRE ENACTED
IN The PLAYHOUSE OF death
Rescuers Are Forced to Walk on Dead to
Extricate Living---Exits ChoIxed With
Bodies of Women and Children.

If this had dropped and had been
thoroughly fireproof, it would have
cut off the fiery tempest and held it
within the stage space.
Third-The unquestioned failure of
doors, leading out of the theater to fire
escapes and to landings, to move when
the people tried to open them. The
doors do not lock with bolts, but are
held by perpendicular levers, which
are inclined to stick" Outside of
the inner doors which lead to the fire
escapes are iron folders, which are
snapped together by horizontal iron
levers. These levers were ice-coated
and not movable when the crowd at
tempted to open them to get out to the
steel stairways.
Aldermen, flremen policemen, insur-
ance men, architect and newspaper
men who spent good deal of time in
the burned theater Thursday generally
agreed on these causes as being the
ones leading directly to the awful loss
of life. 1t was admitted that undoubt-
eddy there were minor reasons which

contributed in bringing up the per-
centage of dead.
AT Morgues and Hospitals.
Morgues and hospitals were the scenes
! of wild disorder and frantic grief for
hours after the disaster. Kinsfolk and
! friends sought their loved ones, frantic
with grief, threatening to break win
dows and overpower the police unless
permitted to enter and search for the
bodies of those they loved. Heavy po-
lice guards were necessary to keep the
crowds in check at Rolston's and Jor-
dams morgues. At the same time the
hospitals were filled in with injured.
Many of them unconscious, many of
them writhing in pain from their burns,
the yet living victims were taken to the
wards, where hastily collected extra
forces of nurses and physicians did all
they could to alleviate suffering. Many
had breathed flame and were in the
stupor that preceded death; many had
been scorched from head to foot, and
some died on the way to the hospitals
or shortly after their arrivals.
Never have such scenes been wit
messed in Chicagos institutions for the
care of the dead or the suffering. The
capacities of many were exhausted long
before all had been taken care of.
wounded Fiji Hospitals.
Rolstons morgue was filled early,
when 100 bodies we're laid out in rows,
and wagons carrying hundreds of 9TH
ers were turned away And all the
! while, as the black wagons, express
wagons, carriages, vans, carts, wagons
for delivery of meat, groceries and mer-
chandise of all sorts, arrived with their
fearful burdens, the crowd surged
around the doors in waves that the po-
lice could scarce withhold and hailed
each new arrival with frantic manifesto
lions Of grief and horror. Those in
front strove to get nearer and look at
the faces of the dead as they were car
ried in and those in the rear surged for
ward. Tbs whole human mass, swayed
by common impulse, moved in a tide
that almost swept the policemen from
their feet.
Greatest in Country's History.
The IroQuois theater was vastly more
destructive to human life than any other
playhouse fire in the history of this
country. The fire next to it in point of
lives lost occurred December 5, 1876, in
Conway's Brooklyn theater, Brooklyn,
n. Y. Here 295 OF the audience persisted
in fierce flames. The day after Christ
mas in 1911, while the play, 'The Bleed
ing Num- was being performed in a
theater at Richmond, Va, fire started
that burned 20 persons to death, among
them the governor of the state, George
w. Smith. Only two European theater
catastrophes approach that of the local
playhouse. On December 9, 1891, the
Ring theater in Vienna burned and 875
lives were lost. In the destruction of
Lehman's theater in st. Petersburg be-
tween 600 and 700 persons were killed.
In the great Chicago fire of 1871, the
largest confagration of modern times,
in which 2,124 acres were devastated.

children, who, in the struggle inside
the doors, had exhausted their strength
and who, when the outside and COM
parative safety were reached, were un-
able to continue to the street and fell
helpless upon the marble floor. Some
were deau when the rescuers reached
them and some still showed signs OF
life. These latter were hurried to the
street and committed to the waiting
arms of hundreds who had gathered
about the entrance, ready to carry
them to nearby stores and restaurants
and to the police ambulances which
soon began to arrive.
There are three doors leading to the
main balcony from the front of the
theater and most of the imprisoned
spectators attempted to escape by way
of the east one. This door is higher
than either of the others and farther
away from the stage, and it is thought
that this accounts for the number that
tried to use it. The fire approaching
from the stage gradually drove them
back to the east wall, where they per-
ished in the frenzied jam.
Women Beaten Down by Men.
Comparatively more men than wom-
en- gained positions anywhere near the
door. According to one man who es-
capped, they climbed over the backs OF
the seats, beat down women and chill
dren and even walked over their
fallen bodies. They tore children
from their mothers and threw women
who blocked their way out of the aisles
on and beneath the seats.
AS soon as the bodies which blocked
the door were cleared away the chief
and his assistants turned their atten-
ton to those who had not been SC
fortunate as to even get near the
doors. Charred and stiff in death
women and children were found appar-
entity in the very seats from which
they had viewed the performance. One
little lad of about II years was found
caught between two seats not a half
dozen feet from the center door. There
was no one near him and he seemed
to be one of the few who in avoiding
the rush for the door above fell vic
tins to the suffocating heat.
Cause of the Horror.
Careful investigation into the hor-
ror disclosed three predominant fac
tors in the holocaust. This trio of IN
fiuencing circumstances, operating
simultaneously undoubtedly was re-
sponsible for the great loss of life. It
was the consensus of opinion of ex-
perts that there could be no doubt as
to the correctness of the conclusions
which follow:
First-The sudden shutting of of all
lights in the structure at time when
the people were endeayoring to leave
the building. This Egyptian darkness
caused people to stumble up or down
steps; those behind piled on top. many
being suffocated and crushed.
Second-The unfortunate spreading
of the fire on the stage and its I'M
.ookesIfor communication into the
auditorium, caused for the most part
by the failure of a fire curtain to work.

with Thank you, ma am" the other
