RECIPROCITY ISSUE
ABs0RBs CANADA
PREMIER AID BORDEN OF THE
OPPOSITION NEAR END OF
CAMPAIGN.
FARMERS VOTE TO DECIDE
Former Minister of Interior In Lsurier
Government Takes Stump Against
Issue Favored by His Party
Election in Three Weeks.

Toronto, Ontario-With the cleo
ton which will decide the fate Of tho
reciprocity agreement still mors than
three weeks off, the fight in this in
dustrial and agricultural province has
reached a point where practically
everything else has been neglected in
the heat of political interest.
R. L. Borden, leader of the opposi-
ton, has completed his Ontario tour,
having delivered more than thirty
speeches in constituencies considered
doubtful and will devote the rest OF
his time to Quebec and the maritime
provinces, where his own seat at Hall
fax is thought to be in danger.
Premier Laurier will return to On.
tario next week to speak in several
rural communities. 1t is the farmers
vote which is likely to decide the fate
OF reciprocity. Every voter in a farm.
ing community is considered import.
ant, whereas in the city nobody seems
to care whether the voter exercises
his franchise.
This is explained by the fact that
every city in Canada, except Kingston
and Ottawa (the seat of government
and the home of thousands of EN-
ployes) gives IN overwhelming Tory
majority.
An unusual feature of the campaign
is that Clifford Sifton. former minis
ter of the interior, in the Laurier gov
eminent, has come out against reci
procity. Mr.. Sifton is a lifelong Lib
eral and was the Liberal member fol
Brandon in the house of commons
just dissolved, but has taken the
stump against the issue favored BY
his party.
In some of the farming communi
ties, the failure of the Farmers bank
which cost the farmers of severa
counties hundreds OF thousands o.
dollars, is being discussed by the op
position and may lost the government
votes.
The alleged laxity of the finance
minister is being used as an argu
ment against the government.

States Senator Works Of California.

FIRE CRY CAUSES
PANIC; Is KILLED
EXPLOSION OF PICTURE SHOW
FILM STARTS AUDIENCE TO-
WARD LONE EXIT.
SMOTHERED IN STAIRWAY
Operator Flashes Next Subject, "a
Little Child Shall Lead Them,"
When Gage Is Envc1oped
with Volume of Smoke.

Canonsburg, Penn.-Twenty-six are
dead and the list of injured numbers
more than sixty as a result of
an ineycusable panic in the opera
house here.
The dead and injured, a writhing,
screaming mass of human beings,
were piled ten feet high in the mar
row stairway leading to the opera
house entrance, when the two volun-
teer fire companies and unattached
rescuers reached the scene.
The alive and unhurt were pulled
out by the rescuers and we're huddled
in a guarded crowd half a block away,
as they continued to shrek in terror
while the work of dragging out dead
and injured went on.
The bodies of the dead were laid
in a row on the sidewalk to be iden-
tilted. The streets soon were crowded
with people. 1t seemed that the
whole population of the town was
packed in the narrow confines of
Pike street, where the theater is To-
Gated.
Caused by Exploding Picture Film.
John Mccullough, operator OF the
moving picture machine, had just
thrown the subject of a series of pic
lures on the screen, entitled "a Lit
tie Girl Shall Lead Them" when the
film exploded, and the asbestos cab
met was filled with flames.
The audience was totally unaware
of the accident. The operator fought
down the flames and extinguished
them, but he made the mistake of
throwing open the door Of his cab
met.
The smoke rushed out into the au-
ditorium, Someone yelled "ire," and
the 1900 In the audience turned in
their seats, saw the smoke and all
made a frantic rush for the one door
way leading to a narrow flight Of
stairs, piling down until 30 persons
were crowded into the passage.

less. Most of the dead were smoth-
cred.
Audience Largely Women and Chit
dren.
The AUDIENCE was largely composed
Of women and children. In the rush
FOR the exit they were thrown from
their feet and trampled. Others wera
thrown upon them and those at the
bottom of the human pile were suffo
Gated.
When two volunteer fire depart
ments reached the theater the sight
staggered them. Those of the au
dience who had escaped from the
building and other persons drawn to
the Gene were rushing ineffectively
about in front of the building.
No person was making any effort
to aid the struggling mass within the
theater.
