The curtain manager declared that

attention was paid to his warning. In
his opinion. if the curtain had been
run down during the fatal matinee

Two more of the victims who were
injured in the terrible rush and bat=

Great activity is being shown in the
effort to secure evidence placing the

life which occurred. Many OF those
who lost relatives have employed de-
tectives to assist in gathering evidence
for the prosecution.
