rung and the whole town was aroused
and went TO the rescue.
All this time the flames from the oil
tank were creeping toward the terri
fled mass of people, who were frantic
ally shrieking and fighting to get out
The noise was terrible and few heard
the cries of those who found the fire
escapes. Some of the bravest who had
gained the fire escapes pulled dozens
from the struggling mass and directed
them TO the side of the building.
Crowds See Victims Die.
While the frenzied people were fight
ing to get down the front stairs, the
calcium light tank exploded and fire
was spread over the entire mass of
people.
This added horror was more than the
feeble rescuers could stand, and in Or
der to save their own lives they were
forced to fee down the fire escapes.
On the first steps outside the door
men pulled frantically to open a way
for the wedged in people, but not more
than half dozen were rescued in this
manner.
The explosion of the calcium tank
and the flames from the front of the
stage, which had by this time reached
the struggling people, made further
rescue impossible.
The entire interior of the building
was a seething furnace. Firemen threw
a feeble stream of water into the burn
ing building, but it had no effect or
the flames. The cries of the strug
Cling people, many with their clothing
already ablaze, and the means of the
| dying were heartrending.
Fathers and brothers, frenzied by
the thought that loved ones were il
the fiery place, We're compelled to re
treat. Nothing could be done to ge
the people out and they were forced
to stand by and watch the awful sac
rifice of life.

were piled in one solid mass six fee
high on the second floor. So solidl.
were they wedged that pickaXes an,
lcrowbars had to be used gently to seq
arate the victims.
In nearly every case the upper pol
tions of the bodies were burned away
and in a great many instances tn
lower parts of the body were nc
touched by the fire.

Statement for HamilI.
Attorney e. c. Richter, Walsh's
counsel, also issued a statement rela-
tive to the shooting in behalf of

TO have adjusted by Hamill. In this

became a frequent caller at Hamil's
Office during the last few years.

The civilized nations of the earth

the invention of gunpowder was one
of the leading factors in bringing
about the spread of Christianity and

results attained.

What would we do in India, Africa

gunpowder? 1t has been one of the
greatest elements of progress by which
the civilized nations of earth have sub

GOV. GUILD is FOR REVISION
Says Tariff Should Be Changed in In,
terest of Common Sense.

New York, Jan. 15.-Governor Guild
of Massachusetts declared for tariff
revision "in the interest of common
sense rather than of special interests
in an address here last night at the
National Shoe and Leather banquet.
81 am a protectionist," he said, "but
believe the time has come when il
logical and needless duties should
cease to hamper alike our industries
and our people"
Governor Guild said he regarded the
tariff as a business question rather
than a political one. He advocated
free admission of bituminous coal and
beef and a reduction of the duty on
wood. He thought that a revision
would not cause a general upheava
of business.
