veil fell nearly to her feet. Her knees
gave way as she neared her seat, and
she was moaning as she was placed in
her chair Her little son, Ned, Jr
aged 10, stood by his mother. pattine
her shoulder and trying to keep bach
his tears.
Surprise number two came when the
state called Mrs. Carmack as its frs
witness. She was almost carried tc
the witness stand, raised platform
by her kinsman, Frank Lander, wht
succeeded her husband as editor o.
the Tennesseean.

ren-Ignorance of Picture Ma
chine Operator Cause.

Mexico City, Feb. 17-Late dis
patches from Acapulco. where the
Flores theater was burned SUNDAY
night during a performance in honor
of Governor Damian Flores of the
state of Guerrero, bring varying esti-
mates of the loss of life. They agree.
however. that ~the dead will exceed
200, while some place the figure as
high as $50.
All business at Acapulco has ceased.
Subscription lists have been opened
Throughout the state of Guerrero and
in Mexico City.
Moving Picture Machine Cause.
The fire was due to the carelessness
and inexperience of the operator of
moving picture machine. There was
an explosion, the fame ignited the
bunting used for decorating and in a
| few minutes the entire structure was
a mass of fire.
The fire started over the main en-
trance, so that the peoples were trap
ped. In a panic they tried to run the
gauntlet of flame, but where one es-
tcaped scores perished The women
and children suffered most, compris-
ing a majority of the dead.
Roof Falls In.
The greatest loss of life was caused
fby the fall of the roof. Previous TO
this the men had fought like demons,
striking down women and children in
their efforts TO escape. The fall of the
roof, however. stilled the screams and
lgroans of the fighting, panic stricken
audience.
Thus far there has been no body re-
covered that could be identified. All
will be buried in common trench.
