Thos. R. Horner and Former Mayor
Fawcett, of Tacoma, gave bail in the
! sum of $4,000 each and were allowed
their liberty.
The arrests followed a mass meet
ing of citizens at Dreamland Park last
night in which Judge Hanford was
hanged in eftigy before 5000 citizens
and denounced because he issued a
temporary restraining order directed
against the people of Rainier Valley
suburb, prohibiting them from ask

Renton and Southern road, an inter
urban system.
For several months there has been
bitter war between the people and
the Renton line because the concern
refused to issue transfers. The state
supreme court recently affirmed the
judgment of the superior court that
the public was entitled to transfers
to city street cars on the payment OF
five cent fare.
The interurban company appealed to
the United States Supreme Court, and
pending decision on the appeal, has
refused to issue the transfers as the
state court decreed it should

Details of Horror.

Details of Horror.
CANONSBURG, Pa, Aug. 90
Crushed and mangled in wild panic
caused by the explosion of a moving
picture film, twenty-six persons, chief
ly boys and girls, were killed and
sixty-eight injured in the Morgan
opera house here tonight and this
whole town was stunned by the mag
nitude of the disaster.
A flash of flame, cry of fire,
mad rush in which men and women
fought with each other and trampled
down children--it was all over in
few minutes, leaving an awful toll of
death and injury.
The moving picture cage was in
the second gallery and the stairs were
all inside. leading from the second
to the first balcony and from that to
the main floor All of the occupants
of the house dashed from the stairs
and instantly the jam at the main
entrance was solid. Those who had
presence of mind enough to seek the
fire escapes were not injured, but the
majority joined in the wild rush for
the stairs.
Sickened by Horror.
When the first rescuers made their
way into the main entrance, they con-
fronted solid wall of humanity,
many of them dead, others terribly
wounded The cries of the women
and children were awful to hear and
half the men who started to their
rescue We're sickened by horror All
call were summoned to carry the dead
and injured to an improvised morgue
or to the hospitals
The disaster was the result of the
panic, as investigation showed that
the fire did no damage. The cage"
was fire proof and the flames did not
spread outside it. The entire popula-
ton of the town remained up all
night.
Not one of the more than 5000 in
habitants of Canonsburg was without
direct personal connection with some
of the dead and injured.
Manager Talks.
In statement to United Press
reporter, j. E. Ferguson, manager of
the theatre, who was one of the
nights heroes in the successful res
cues, said:
There was no fire of any kind and
the paic broke out in the rear of the
house. No fuse burned out, and what
damage occurred to the film was soon
repaired
"The film broke and the light show
ing through the wire screened cur
tain gave the appearance of fire.
"All those who lost their lives were
caught in the crush near the foot of
the stairs. Had they remained in their
seats and left in the usual manner, all
could have withdrawn through regu-
lar channels, including a rear stairway
and fire exits.
"The building was approved by in
spectors and had every requirement
asked by law
