No Americans lost their lives in the
fire which destroyed the Flores Theater.

State Department today from American
Consul Maxwell K. Moorehead.
Over two hundred people were burned 10

Incinerated in Theater.
MEXICO CITY. February 16.-Between
$50 and 300 people were burned to death
and many were injured in fire which
destroyed the Flores Theater in the city
of Acapulco last night.
The news CT the disaster reached this
ca pita not until late yesterday afternoon,
telegraph communications with Acapulco
having been destroyed owing to the 1act
that the telegraph Office adjoining the
theater was burned and all wires put out
Of commission.
The theater was wooden affair. Sun
day evening over 1000 crowded into 1T TO
witness a special performance given IN
honor of Gen. Damien Flores of the state
Of Guerro, who was visiting the port at
the time.
One number on the program consisted OF
a series of moving pictures. While the
operator was exhibiting these. film
caught fire.
The blaze was quickly communicated to
bunting used for decorative purposes. In
an incredibly short time the flames spread
to all parts Of the structure.
There were but three narrow exits me
panic stricken audience rushed to these.
many falling and being crushed to death,
their bodies choking the way of escape
to others.
No Way to Aid Screaming Victims.
The screams of those imprisoned were
terrifying and heartrending Owing to
the rapidity with which the fire spread
and to it's intense heat it was impossible
to attempt rescue work.
The imprisoned were literally roasted
alive. The fire burned with little smoke
and few were suffocated.
Efforts of the fire department were con-
fined to the attempt to save adjoining
buildings. They succeeded so that the
property loss was small. The telegraph
office. post Office and customs house were
damaged. All government records and
registered mail was saved.
Pitiful scenes of grief were enacted in
the streets of the little west coast port.
Men, women and children wandered from
place to place. hunting for relatives or
friends.
Many of the dead are from the first
families of the state. The affair at the
theater was a social event of considerable
Importance and calling out the wealthiest
and oldest families for miles around. In
some instances entire families were Wlped
out Of existence.
The municipal authorities caused large
trenches to be dug. Into these the re-
mains of the dead were laid According
to the kilograms received from these au-
thorities recognition of any OF the dead
has been an impossibility owing to the
fact that the bodies were burned in most
cases to a crisp.

Senator Martin to Fight.

Senator Burkett of Nebraska made a

bill authorizing an inquiry into the posi-
Bile purchase by the government Of the

Senator Martin of Virginia to entreat the
Nebraska senator not to insist on his

Senator Martin said that the circum-

TO the Forum at fits first meeting OF the season
yesterday morning at No. q West 44th street Mrs
sprague moved TO amend It by inserting the word
married.
AT present, she said, the schools are almost en-
ureiy governed by men and unmarried women The
question is one that is troubling educators all over
the country. and one way in which we might lessen
the eVn is by appointing married women to the
Board OF Education
MISS Mary Garrett Hay protested that II the

as well as herself and she added that many unmar-
ried women had mother hearts, while many mar
ried women did not have them
Mrs Sprague said that while the unmarried
woman might have mother heart, she did not
have the same experience with children that the
married woman had. but the Forum did not agree
with her, and the amendment was voted down.
Miss Boswell announced that the Forum had
