ton of the Boyertown holocaust. and
answered that this would be impossi-
Bile. adding that the inspectors of his
department examined the buildings
every day.
There are twelve moving-picture
shows in the city, and the building de-
partment has caused the picture ma
chimes in each place to be enclosed in
a steel or a~sbestos-lined box that can
be shut off from the theatre. so that
if the machine should explode the
flames cannot spread. The police see
that the aisles are cleared, and special
policemen are stationed at each thea
ire to aid the regular force.
The building department sees that
the interior is fireproof and that the
red lamps over the exits are in proper
condition.

tagged mo. 16~2-female," and a con-
stable was stationed by it, with i~nstruc<
ton TO watch closely every person who
examined the clothing.
The uncommon sight of a gang Of
laborers digging graves by the light of
the moon for the burial of the dead Of
the Rhoades Opera House disaster was
witnessed in Union and Fairview ceme-
teries here last night. So many funerals
arc to be held today, tomorrow n
Sunday that the borough authorities
found it necessary to keep tho men at
work all night.
A large number of funerals were held
today and many sad scenes were ell
acted as the bodies of one or more
members of a family were inferred in
the hurriedly prepared graves. The
largest number of funerals will take
place tomorrow. Tho coroner today
placed the number of dead at 173.
The unidentified dead will be buried
in a trench, sixty feet long, 40 feet wide
and 6 feet deep. Each of the thirty un-
identified bodies will be placed In a
separate coffin. and eae coffin will be
separated from the others by a brick
wall. The bodies will be placed in a
semi-circle, and at some future time a

missing persons known to have been in
tho opera house when the fire started,
and whose bodies have not been identi-
fed, will be erected on the plot. After
all of the bodies have been buried me-
