BELGIAN EXPOSITION BURNS
100000 People in Panic-Two Persons
Are Killed and Forty Injured,
Some Fatally.

Brussels.-One hundred thousand
visitors were thrown into
panic by a fire that wiped out the en-
tire Belgian exposition. Two persons
are known to be dead and 40 injured
some fatally
The flames started in the French
section and had gained considerable
headway before they were discovered.
The instant the alarm was given, the
100000 persons at the exposition be-
came panic-stricken and a wild rush
was made for the exits.
The people fought and struggled In
a maddened attempt to get out of the
place. Many of those hurt received
their injuries by falling to the floor
and being trampled upon by the
crowd.
The two killed were trapped by the
flames and attempts to rescue them
were unsuccessful, The crowd got to
places of safety, however, before the
flames reached them. No estimate of
the damage, which was great, has
been made.
Brussels.--As result of the partial
destruction of the Belgian exposition
by fire Sunday night, the executive
committee at a meeting held Monday
decided to close the fair until the
ruins of the burned sections could be
cleared away, when the exposition will
again be opened
1t is impossible to estimate the dam
age caused by the fire that wiped out
the fairy-like structures and caused
two deaths and thirty injuries.

were killed and 80 others were in.
tured. several of them fatally
The accident came without warning
and In the wild panic that followed
the crash many of the passengers
were trampled upon and probably
fatally injured. Speeding at so miles
an hour, the excursion train with
1,200 passengers on board, struck an
open switch and before the engineer
realized the peril, smashed into a side
tracked freight train.
sgsA relief train, with all the available
tors, was rushed to the scene.
Ae uninjured passengers aided in
dragging out the dead and injured.
An emergency hospital was estab.
lished at the side of the track and
everything possible was done to aid
the victims.
Most of those on board were school
girls returning from their vacations.
Their frenzied efforts to aid their in
fured comrades only served to in
crease the excitement and hampered
the doctors considerably in the work
of ressle.
The engineer and fireman tried to
jump as the crash came, but were
pinned in the wreckage. The boiler
exploded and many were scalded by
the boiling water.
An investigation is being made to
place responsibility for the wreck 1t
is claimed that there was no signal to
warn the engineer that the switch was
open.
So many were the victims that at
first only those who had been serious
ly hurt received medical attention. AS
fast as they were attended they were
put aboard the relief train and rushed
to Bordeaux. where they were placed
in hospitals.

Indian land investigating committee
that if the Indian lands in Okla homa
were sold and the $50, 600, 900 proceeds
were turned over to the Indians in

1t was asserted that many of the IA.

Except for. the appearance on the
