CALUMET, Mich, Dec. 26.-Local po-

abandoned hope of capturing the heavy
bearded man, who, by his crv of fire,
precipitated the awful panic, which
caused seventy-three deaths In a state
ment issued this morning, President

his man was a member of the Cfti-

lion.
Il do not blame any member OF the
Citizens Alliance for what has hap
pened," Meyer said. "If such a catas-
trophe had occurred among the wives
and children of the members of the
Citizens Alliance, there would have
been mob rule, and possibly lynchings
in the streets of Calumet" Meyer said
he would bring five witnesses before the
coroner's jury who would swear that
the man who sounded the alarm of fire
wore a Citizens Alliance badge. but
that he would make no direct accusa-
tion.

who offer il, we ask no outside help.
