Twenty-one women were arrested
IN the vicinity OF the parliment build

The demonstration in White Hall
was not as large as sQme OF those
previously held. the force OF police
ana a drenching rain initiating
against any great turn out. The wild
est excitement prevailed. however,
and besides protecting property and
arresting women engaged in window

greatest difficulty in protecting the
women from an unruly crowd OF
youths who gathered and hustled ey-
cry woman wearing the suffragist

 1 The Italian hall was built about five i years ago and was well provided for i emergencies, it was thought. The en- trance has a hallway about ten feet | deep, A stairway about eight feet i wide led up from this VeStiDule to a 1 small landing about eight by ten feet | The main door of the hall opened on | this landing. There is a, small cloak room about ten feet square to one | side of the main door. The loss ot l life was heavy at the small door of 1 this room. The rush apparently turned
 many against the door of this room and crushed them to death within the doorway
 i The largest number of dead in any i place, however, was at the bottom of | the stairs. Those who reached the i stairs first were evidently hurled downward by those behind and in this fashion the stairway was filled to the ceiling
 Most Deaths Due to suffocation. That death in most instances was due to suffocation under the weight of those who fell last, was indicated [ by the fact that few of the cOrpses bore marks of injuries. Bodies were Crumpled and broken, but the features
 were not cut or bruised. It was as certained that there was no fire in
 l Christmas tree was lighted by cleo tricity. Every precautiOn had been taken by those in charge to avoid dan- ger.
 search was begun tonight for the man who caused the panic. Some of the strikers asserted that they had reason to believe he was a member of the citizens alliance, recently organ ized to restore law and order in the mining field during the strike This charge was denied by alliance mem bers, hundreds of whom were early on the scene aiding in the removal of bodies and. caring for the injured and bereaved.
 Man Who Caused Panic Probably
 Drunk.
 It was said by those near the door that the man came up the stairs from a saloon and that his breath, blown forth with the word Fire Smelled strongly of alcohol.
 It was asserted by some of those present that the man may have been in q maudlin condition and shouted f the word without any thought as to what he was doing.
 Many men in the crowd about the hall after the catastrophe SWore ven geance if the man could De found It is also feared that the distraught con- dition of mind under which many per sons are labCring as q result of the disaster may renew open hostility be- tween members of the miners union and the citizens alliance.
 CaIusaet's Christmas Blighted.
 The coroner tonight began to inn panel 8 jury to make a. thorough in- Vestigation of the disaster. Meetings will be held Christmas day to decide to hold a general funeral with a procession composed of nearly every resident of Calumet
 Holiday festivities in many private homes were saddened by the disaster in Italian hall. Many parents who had rushed out to learn details of the tragedy rAturned to their homes and sus spended' decoration of the family Christmas trees out of respect for 1 childlesS homes
