on Friday began to wend their way to.

the 167 children who perished in We'd

From 9 o'clock in the morning until
dusk there was no cessation in the fu-
neral corteges. Those who had no
dead to mourn as a personal loss stood
In the streets with barred heads as the
professions passed.
One OF the saddest funerals was that
OF the three children of Janitor Hirter.
held jointly with the services for three
other little ones. Mutterings against
the ianitor could be heard about the
village MS grief-crazed parents sought
an object upon which to wreak ven
geance. forgetting. as they did, that
Eiirter himself was walking with
bowed head and broken heart behind
the biers Of three of his beloved.
A detail of police was placed about
the Hirter home when the hour for the
funeral came. Fully 500 persons had
gathered, but when the collins were
carried out the doorway the crowd
spread and opened the way for them
without Protest or expression of hos

Altogether there were fifty burals
Friday AMI Saturday the gruesome task
was repeated. Sunday witnessed the
last of the Individual burials. and on
Monday the bodies of all those who are
unidentified were laid at rest with one
funeral.

TO death OF the school children was
given at the continued session of the
coroner'i inquest. Stories Of heroism
on the part of the women teachers
were recited
+. p. Whitney, superintendent of the
Collinwood schools. stated his belief
jhat no fire department could have
done any effective work after the fire
had started.
Two of the teachers told of their I'M
availing attempts to open one of the
doorg In the rear. which they said was
locked.
The inquest also developed the fact
that after the first crush Mt the door
1t was beyond human possibility to aid
those whom the fire was dcvouring.
In n statement Friday Chief Wallace
Of the Cleveland fire department, after
an examination OF the ruins OF the Col
linwood school, said TWAS his opinion
that the loss OF life would not have
been so great had there been no par
tit!ons ut the sides OF the storm doors
at the rear entrance. Two feet eight
inches had been taken OF either side
of the hall for the partitions. His ex.
animation developed that the doors
opened outward.
With the appropriation of $4,000 by

scribed locally there will be plenty of
financial relief for the stricken fami-
