NO AMERICANS KILLED.
4capuIco's Dead Nay Reach $50
None of Bodies RECOGNIZABLE.

Mexico City. Feb. 16-Dispa tches from ACa-
puIco, where the Flores Theatre was burned on
Sunday night while the building was crowded
a performance given in honor of Governor
Flores of the State of Guerrero say that the
dead will be than two hundred. while some
say three hundred and fifty lost their lives.
Most of the dead were burned beyond recogni-
ton and it Will take several days probably to
get an accurate list.
All business at the port has ceased The
shops have closed and the people are crowding
the churches. where masses are being cele-
brated for the dead. Subscription lists have
been opened throughout the State of Guerrero
and in Mexico City for the sufferers.
The search oSthe ruins has thus far revealed
no recognizable human form. Only charred
bodies from which legs and arms have been
burned. have been taken from the ruins. and
as there was no chance of identifying them all
have been buried in a common trench by the
municipal authorities.
No Americans lost their lives. The American
Consul Maxwell K Morehead. had been invited
to the performance. but pressing business made
1t impossible for him to attend.
Many of those who escaped we're injured in
the panic or severely burned. and the houses
near the theatre are turned into hospitals

II was learned yesterday that Trinity Corpora

made upon her corporation holding land
under charter. the constitutionality of which is
being questioned by bills In the Senate and As
sembly only one OF number of historic efforts
her from the original endowment 1t is
known that no plan to divide the endowment among
the various chapels OF Trinity parish and establish
the independence of these will be regarded serious
ly by the corporation Trinity believes that there
absolutely legal obstacles in the way Of
continuing its present policy of supporting chapels
on the income from the original Queen Anne
grant. and that the charter Of 1914 is perfectly
protected by the decision in the Dartmouth Col
lege case argued in 1914. when it established
that a legislature had right to interfere with
a charter grant obtained under British rule.
It is not doubted by the members of Trinity
vestry that st. Johns will be closed by permission
of the Supreme Court March l, and that the
unusual situation of a civil body compelling re-
ligious society TO conduct services at any stated
place Will not have any more legs 10 stand on
