CRY OF FIRE
CAUSES PANIC

III ftuSn FOR EXltS Two women
Were Killed and Eleven Bad
ly Injured-Crush Down
Deep Steps.
New York, Feb. "A boys
cry of fire" and the smoke
from an exploded reel of a mo-
tion picture machine in an East
Side theater tonight resulted in
panic among the audience of
400 persons and a rush for the
exits in which two women were
killed and IL other persons so
badly injured that they had to
be sent to hospitals. The panic
occurred in one of the most
densely populated sections of
the East Side and the thousands
who poured into East Houston
street in front of the theater
and rushed to the doors added
to the confusion and to the
number of injured. The two
dead women were not identified,
were trampled to death in the
crowd in an effort to reach the
doors. The operator of the ma
chine soon extinguished the
burning film and the flames did
not spread beyond the fire
proof cage in which he worked.
With the exception of one exit
door, the only means of escape
from the theater was through
the main vestible and it was
here in a narrow space that
most of the injured were found.
The two women who were killed
were picked up in the main Sec
tion of the theater where they
had been trampled. Steep steps
led from the sidewalk to the
theater entrance and down
these hundreds fell while those
behind piled on top. Children
became separated from their
parents and frantic searchers
for friends or relatives mingled
with the panic-stricken audi
ences. 1t was more than an
hour before the police were
able to definitely say that only
two had met death.
Fire Commissioner Johnson
arrived at the theater soon af-
ter it had been cleared. In a
statementhe declared that there
were 800 similar places in
Greater New York where con-
ditions were equally perlious.
He said, however, that owners
had complied with every ordi-
nance governing such places. In
addition to the usual Sunday
throng the management had
advertised an additional spec
tacular attraction which caused
an unusually large crowd to
gather.

TURKISH-BALKAN
WAR RESUMED
BOmbardment of AdrianOple
Began Monday Night at z

OClOck-Scutari May Fall.
London, Feb. 3.-The Turk
ish-Balkan war has been resum-
ed. The bombardment of Adri-
anople began at z o'clock to-
night and a small skirmish oc-
Cured at the Tchatalja lines.
The armistice had lasted exact
ly two months.
Bulgaria has turned a deaf
ear to the remonstrances of the
powers and unless Turkey
yields to the Balkan demands
the allied armies will now at
tempt to drive her completely
out of Europe.
According to a dispatch from
Belgrade tonight Scutari, al
ready is on the point of falling.
1t is reported that the Turkish
commander has sent two repre-
sentatives to the Servian COM
mander to propose the capitula-
tion of that town.
DR.. Daneff, head of the Bull
garian delegation, in an inter-
view in Paris tonight, said he
had promised Sir Edward Grey,
the British foreign secretary,
that if the Turks Immediately
accepted the allies conditions,
they would conclude peace, but
whatever happened, there
would be no further armistice.
Sir Edward Grey had long
interview with the King today,
after which he attended a brief
meeting of the ambassadorial
conference, but nothing of i'm
portance was transacted.
Osman Nazim Pasha, the sec
ond Turkish delegate, will leave
London tomorrow to resume his
amDassadorial duties at Berlin.
He said this evening that from
information received from mill
tary sources he believed the
allies underestimated the con-
dition of the Turkish army and
would find themselves con-
fronted by a redoubtable en-
emy, the best Mussulman war
riors, veterans from Arabia,
who had fought under Izzet
Bey, and tried soldiers and good
marksmen lately engaged in
Tripoli under Enver Bey and
Fethy Bey.
He added:
"The ambassador was right
who predicted that if driven to
despair the Turks would fight
like wild animals"
Bucharet, Rumania, Feb. s.
A diplomatic indiscretion has
revealed the contents of the
protocol between Roumania and
Bulgaria recently signed at
London.
Roumania claims the frontier
between Turtuksi on the Dan
ube, % miles to the west of
Silistria, and Baltjik on the
Black Sea, while Bulgaria offers
only the frontier beginning at
Silistria and excluding that
town but including it's sur
roundings, descending in a
straight line to the east of
Dobritch as far as Baltjik.
Thus while Roumania lays
claim to Turtuksi, Silistria,
Dobritch, Kavarna and Baltjik,
Bulgaria offers only Kavarna,
lying to the east of Baltjik near
the seacoast.

Grace Church Choir Adds Pleasant
Feature to Hospital
Bazaar

The boys and girls from the Chill
drens Home; sixteen in number,
were made happy yesterday after
noon when the doors of the Hospital
Bazaar were thrown open to them.
Immediately upon entering they
scattered in every direction attracted
by the many beautiful booths and the
articles contained therein. When,
however, a kind friend offered ice
cream and cake for all, the things
that dazzled their eyes were speedily
forgotten for those that pleased the
palate. Apples, candies, and other
good things were then distributed
and the happy youngsters were gath
cred about huge "Jack Horner Pie"
Each one was given two opportunities
to stick in his or her thumb and pull
out plum-the plums on this occa-
sion being small, but pleasing toys.
The women of the congregation OF
Grace Church had charge of the spec
ial amusement feature last night, and
the large crowd present greatly en-
ioyei the entertainment. The Kew

"Revenuers Too Busy for Trade
To Be Profitable" Declares
John Ingram.

John &. Ingram. former mOonshiner,
for whom bond was obtained several
months ago through the efforts of The
Georgian so that he might return to
his impoverished family in the noun
tains of Union County, came to At
lanta Tuesday to testify before the
Federal Grand Jury in the cases of
the two youths, Grover Mcdonnell
and Floyd McAfee, who are said to
have been implicated with him in the
illicit distilling.
81 might ha' known they'd get me, -
he said Tuesday. I'm through with
it all now, though. Moonshining is a
mighty interesting business, but the
reVenuers are getting altogether too
busy for it to be safe any more.
Times are changing. We used to
think it was all right for man to
make liquor for himself and his neigh
bors without any interference, but we
were wrong. can see it now"
Reports from Blairsville, Union
County, say that Ingram has been
living a model life in every respect,
fully justifying the confidence that
was placed in him when his release
from Jail was obtained by The GeOr-
gian and aid was extended his family
by persons who were stirred to pity
by his story.
The Sheriff of the county, and min
listers and other prominent citizens of
Blairsville are authority for the state
ment that Ingram is working hard
at honest labor to support his fam
lily and that his three little girls, none
of whom ever had attended school
before. now are acquiring an educa-
ton in the public schools and are
being given every advantage that the
meager income of their father will
permit.
1t is believed that Ingram will plead
guilty to the charge of Illicit distll-
ing when his case comes up before
Judge Newman in the United States
District Court. October Is. II is his
hope that on the strength of his rec
ord since he was released under bond
that he will be given a suspended
sentence. Persons who have watched
his career in the last few months will
recommend this to Judge Newman.
H. II. Colwell, alleged to have been
in partnership with Ingram, will be
tried at the same time.
