member Of my family, and rendering such
assistance as / could, and 1t was sickening
TO see the exhausted and fainting people
of all ages emerge and to think of the con-
ditions inside
If there had only been wide openings in
the sides of the alley close TO the build
ings so that people could obtain exit quick
ly the conditions would have been greatly
improved and made safer. And If there
had been number of officials at each en-
trance to direct the people where TO go
for tickets the worst features of the jam
would have been avoided.
But aside from these features, / am told
that the building itself was packed to suf-
location, and | took a look to see what
were the means of exit The lower half of
the high windows nearest the ground was
covered with a heavy wire screen and |
am told, moreover, that they were entirely
hid inside by drapery, that they must
be excluded as exits in case of a panic.
The entrances from the south and west
through the alleys could be regarded only
as death traps If used exits in panic
by any one who saw the conditions there.
l did not have time to examine the doors
on the north and east sides of the build
ing. 1t Will be plain to any one who will
see the conditions for himself that the
means of exit were terribly deficient for
such crowd.
A member Of my family, who was refused
entrance at the door, remained there for
about an hour and a half, until l succeeded
in rescuing her after the alley had been
partially cleared She said that at times
an officer would call Single file single
file, and she saw people 1blanch and ask,
Did he say fire?" l suppose there were
firemen in the building, although their use
fulness in such a press of people must be
doubted. / saw one fireman at the exit to
the south alleyway who did what he could
to assist the people coming out, but In case
of fire he could have done little more than /.
The cause of this crowd assembling was
the desire of our people and strangers to
see the decorations of the inaugural ball

SHORT IN RESERVE FUND.
Plight of German National of Cincin.
nati-Robbery Possible.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, March THE Ger
man National Bank in this city is S55oOO
short in Its government reserve fund, ac-
cording to story published here today.
The money has apparently been stolen from
the banks special vaults. President Bob
rer, however, says that the shortage may
prove to be an error In bookkeeping
On December ID the reserve fund was
counted and found to be intact. Four
weeks ago the shortage was discovered
and the most thorough investigation has
been carried on ever since without results.
The German National Bank is one of the
strongest banks in this section with a
capital of 100000 surplus of half a mill
lion, undivided profits of 1857, 196 and total
resources of nearly seven millions.
