Monday as witnesses at the coroner S
inquest The proprietor of saloon
which occupies tho first floor of the
building in which the catastrophe oc-
Cured, told the Investigators that only
children possessing union cards issued
to their Fathers were admitted to the
hall. and that several times he was
called upon to identify little ones who
had been turned back because they did
not present such credentials.
With the door thus guarded, it was
pointed out, it would have been vir-
tually impossible for anyone wearing
the insignia Of a hostile organization
to get within the hall. Several children

pushed his way through the crowd, and
it was largely upon these accounts that
Prosecutor Lucas based his belief that
the alarm had not come from an in
truder. Another fact, of which the
prosecutor pronounced himself certain
was that there were no candles on the
Christmas tree.
The relief committee at its night
meeting decided to refuse offers of all
outside aid. kilograms proffering as
sistance came from Bishop John P.
Carroll, Butte, Mont; Mayor Oscar B.,
Marx of Detroit, and others, They were
told that no material aid was needed
from other than local sources.

Charge to read had failed 20 obey" strik-
ing out the words ''willfully disobeyed,"

Major HaRadorn was one or the Iir3t OIL

President Wilson. After month In st.

about six weeks ago he cablcd the war

Although the majors appearance con-
firmed his statement that his health had

that his action called for court mar

General Barry approved TO-DAY the find

Ing repnmand:
.Tt Is difficult to understand how an
officer OF Major Hagadorn's length OF
service could fail TO fully appreciate the
exact meaning of the Instructions to re-
main at St Petersburg unless me had
started, and as said Instructions were re-
ceived by him before he actually started,
the only explanation OF his action seems
to be his illness as set forth by the evi
dence
"The fact that Major TIagadorn has
been brought to trial and the incident
publicity of the offenses with which he
is charged, is deemed a sufficient reprl-
mand and it is hoped lt may have the
effect OF causing him In future to strictly
comply without evasion at any time with

Soon after the cardinal passed away

Whether IL disappeared before, during. or
after the stream OF people were admitted
to the death chamber to view the body

Hope Is stiil entertained that the per-
son who appropriated tho box is not in

in the belief that It contained valuables
