HOLOCAUST OF OCKREIT
ONE OF WORST IN WORLD
Fear Maddened Crowd Finds
Only Door Nailed Up

The holocaust in the village of Ock-
reit, Hungary, will stand as one of the
great disasters in the history of the
not rank with the Ring theater fire in
Vienna, December s, 1881, when nearly
1000 persons lost their lives Many
were burned to death in the disaster of
20 years ago, but the larger number
were suffocated and some died in the
crush at the exits, says the Washington
Star. The doors were built so that they
opened inward, and when the people
damned against them they could not be
opened, and the f1remen coming to their
rescue were compelled to chop into the
crowd, and thus several persons were
slain in the very act of loosing those
behind them.
The Hungarian catastrophe was more
like the charity bazaar fire in Paris
May 4, 1897, in that the structure was
decorated with dried branches of trees
and other light, tinderlike trimmings.
At the charity bazaar fire, in which $50
people were killed, the hall became a
mass of flames almost instantly after
the first fash being filled with the thin
nest or draperleS 1eStooned In a manner
to invite disaster The blockade at the
exits cost many lives.
peculiar element of horror enters
into the Hungarian catastrophe The
single door which afforded entrance and
exit had been nailed up after the hall
was filed in order to prevent the adj
mission of any of those who were left
clamoring outside. Thus when the
flames started there was no way out
for the fear maddened people. Conse-
quently the percentage of death was
probably greater in this instance than
in any other known catastrophe of mod
ern times
The Iroquois theater fire in Chicago
cost between 500 and 500 lives Many
persons were trampled to death, as
in all other cases of fire panic The
flames leaped into the upper galleries
from the stage in manner to burn and
suffocate many scores before they had a
chance to escape.

This week there was introduced in
the city council an ordinance provid-
ing for special election wherein the
people could have an opportunity to
vote for the purchase by the city of
the water plant. The proposition Is
backed by men OF such prominence as
TO deserve serious attention. Colored
citizens are equally interested with
white In its proper disposition. Rent
ers Is well as taxpayers stand to win
or lose by II equally. the one paying
Indirectly in rent what the other pays

II is not our intention to attempt a
general discussion OF the water ques-
ton at this time. but to confine what
We say TO municipal ownership
whether II is desirable and practic-
able in Denver.
The spirit of American government
has always been that Of the widest In
dividual liberty. Every citizen is sup
posed to have absolute freedom pro-
vided only he does not infringe upon
the rights of others. This country has
stood against communism In all Its
forms, making but few concessions TO

ment control the distribution of the
mail, and the making OF legal tender.
Yet In recent years strong wave of
municipal ownership, a localized form
OF communism, has swept over the
country and many cities have tried It,
Its friends point with pride to cer-
tain cities as exemplifcation of its ad-
van,ages, and with equal facility, Its
enemies find weaknesses. In other
words. municipal ownership has not
yet proven itself an unqualified sue
cess. and Denver has now to decide
whether It wants to experiment here
with 1t or not The great majority OF
people have no interest in municipal
or private ownership Of water sys-
tens. except as they best serve their
needs. OF such are the colored citi-
zens of Denver.
II 1t is granted that public ownership
OF the water system In other cities has
been for the betterment Of the service
and the lessening Of the cost to the
