assisted into the alley. Even when
the last player and stage hand had
reached the alley we could not realize
the awfulness of what had happened.
I walked in upon the stage and found
it a seething furnace. The players
had been rescued just in time. A
minute later and the flames and smoke
would have reached the imperiled ones
and they would have been suffocated

place the terrible loss of life to the
"jamming'' of the asbestos curtain.
Had it worked properly they say the
fire would have been confined to the
stage, alone. h At every performance
of the show the asbestos curtain has
been raised and lowered. 1t has al
ways run smoothly, according to the
employees It was so arranged that
should one of the cables holding it
break the curtain would descend.

ALL OTHER TOPICS FORGOTTEN
People of London Horrified by Chicago
Disaster.

London, Jan. All local and for.
eign topics of interest were forgotten
here in the universal horror over the
Iroquois theater tragedy at Chicago.
The extra editions of the newspapers
giving the latest details were eagerly
bought up and the newspaper placards
only bore in faring type the announce.
ment of further news from Chicago. :
The flags over the steamship Offices
were hafmasted. The accounts of the
deadly panic were read by the English
people with peculiar sympathy and
horror, for the pantomime season ia
now at it's height and the London the
aters are daily packed with women
and children. The disaster doubtless
will keep many Londoners from taking
their children to the usual Christmas
holiday pantomimes.

asters of its kind"

AUDIENCE RuSHEs FOR DOORS
ON HEARING CRY OF FIRE.

AS soon as the flames first appeared
beyond the curtain a man in the rear
of the hall shouted "Fire, fire!" and
the entire audience rose as one person
and made for the doors.
D Will J. Davis. manager of the the
ater, said after the catastrophe that if
the people had remained in their seats
End had not been excited by the cry
Of fire not single life. would have
been lost.
This is, however, contradicted by
the statements of the firemen, who
found numbers of people sitting in
their Seats their faces directed to-
ward the stage as if the performance
was still gong on.
It was the opinion of the firemen
that these people had been suffocated
at once by the flow of gas which came
from behind the asbestos curtain
AS near as can be estimated at the
present time about 1900 people were
in the tkeater Three hundred of
these were on the first floor, the re-
maiuder being in the two upper bal
comics and in the Railways back Of

FROM BALCONIES
PACKED WITH THE DEAD

The theater is modelled after the
Opera Comique in Paris and from the
rear of each balcony there are three
doors leading out to passageways to-
ward the front Of the theater. Two Of
these doorways are at the end Of the
balcony and one in the center.
The audience in its rush for the
outer air seems to have, for the greater
part, chosen to flee to the left en-
trance and to attempt to make its way
down the eastern stairway leading
into the lobby of the theater.
Aside from the people burned and
suffocated by gas it was in these two
doorways on the first and second bal
COMES that the greatest loss of life
occurred.
When the firemen entered the build
ing the dead were found stretched in
pile reaching from the head of the
stairway at least eight feet from the
door back to point about five feet in
the rear of the door. This mass of
dead bodies in the center Of the door
way reached to within two feet of the
top of the passageway.
All of the corpses at this point were
women and children.

DEAD BODIES HAULED AWAY

utterly inadequate TO carry away the
