CHILDREN LEAP FO DEATH.
Stairway Leading to Balcony Gives
Way Following Explosion; Three
Arrests Made.

In the Cemetery at Mayaguez are bur-
led so bodies, some of them unidentified

Yuguez on Thursday night of last week
which was destroyed following the pro
bable blowout Of a fuse due to defec-
ii 1e electric wiring.
Many Of the dead are children and
many Of the 100 injured are under Is
years of age.
me exact cause of the Ere may never
b. known although the Investigations
conducted so far indicate that it was
ca lsed by improper Or detective wiring.
Primarily the loss of lives vas not
due to the fire but resulted from the
ia ling of the stairway which leads from
tn main floor Of the theatre to the
ga lery. 1t was in this gallery that
most Of the children who were killed
an injured had been seated. The pro-
grlm was in progress when a sound
au Hence. The show stopped and for
pr badly a full minute there was no
tn pught of. danger but people in the
audience rose and started to leave the
theatre, Those in. the gallery started
to follow those on the lower floor and
the stairway leading to the balcony or
ple tform became crowded and gave
W&y.
As the stairway fell the audience be-
calne panic-stricken and there was
crowding to reach the exits. Children
AMI others in the gallery jumped to the
eoor below and were trampIed under
foot in the rush to reach the street.
Not until after this accident did the

vas three hours later. howe yer, before
me ruins had cooled sufficiently for an
attempt to be made to recover the bod
les. Many Of rhem were so badly
burned and chagred that they could
not be identified.
Despite the arles1 OF the |janitor of
the theatre, Rufnu Bourbon charged
with completely in having caused the
fire, and the detention Of Rafael Domin-
guez and Rafael Napoiaonis the latter+ho
manager OF another moving picture house
now under construction in Mayaguez. for
perjury in Their ,4sfInony relative to the
blaze, uncertainty exists as to the origin
OF the fatal fire.
Until the full r~esults of the searching
inquiry being made by the authorities
IS made public it cannot be stated if
the suspicious that. the fatal fire was
the result Of criminal intent have any
foundation in fact.
Nayaguez had no$ recovered from the
earthquake disaster 9f last year when it
was stunned by this latest blow, which
leaves many families childless under the
most tragic circumstances.
The Cine Yaguez, owned by Francis
CO Maym0n, was exhibiting to a packed
house when the fire broke out. The blaze
started at alb ut $50. Witnesses have
declared that the first warning was a
loud explosion near the stage, followed
almost Immediately by a burst of fame
near the platform. Following the first
cry of fire !'the audience made a mad
rush for the exits, the wild cries of fear
mingling with the groans of those tram
pied underfoot in the fight to escape
from the blazing building. Wit IN a very
few minutes the hall became an inferno.
Despite efforts of the fire department
and citizens the blaze spread so rapidly
that although the majority Of those pres
ent were saved and more than $50 bodies
recovered from the building, both dead
and badly burned, many others could not
be reached and persisted.
In the street surrounding the theatre
mothers and fathers rushed to and fro,
crying the names Of their missing chill
dren. Until the early hours Of the morn
ing the streets were in an indescribable
state of confusion.
Following the frs shock of the tragedy
the origin Of the blaze began to occupy
the attention of the public and opinion in
general suspected the fire to be of incen-
diary origin.
No very strong evidence has SO far
been made public against Bourbon. 1t

SNOW HOUSES QUICKLY BUILT
Rssldsnce That Satisfies Eskimo Can
BE Put Together In Something
Like Six Hours.

It takes about six hours to build q
drst-class winter residence In Eskimo
land. The material, snow cut from
bank that must have been made In a
single storm, must be solid and homo
geneous, fine, yet soft enough to be
easily cut with saw or snow knife. The
blocks are three or four feet long, two
feet high and six to eight inches thick.
They are piled on one another, some
thing like in building a brick house,
save that they are placed to form a
spiral, inclined inward, to form
dome-shapsd structure. When finished
the hCsse is 10 or II feet high and II
to Is feet in diameter, and las the APP
pearance of hemisphere Of snow set
on its fiat side. An entrance, big
enough to crawl through, is made on
one side and on either side of 1t are
cubby-hOles for the storage Of harness,
spare food, etc. A window is cut In
the wall and covered with seals in
testines, sewed together. These are
translucent and admit daylight. In
lieu of that slab of clear fresh
water Ice may be used. The house Is
lined with skins to prevent the warm
air from the inside from melting the
snow roof. Between the skins and the
wall there is always a layer Of cold
air. There is also small hole cut In
the roof for ventilation, and to pro-
vide a draught for the family lamp.
On the side of the house opposite the
entrance broad snow bench is built,
with a long pole for an edge. This Is
the family bed. For mattress
thick layer of shrubs Is spread upon
It and over these many deerskins.
Clothes, when taken off, are rolled up
and put under the skins for pillows.
One blanket of skins serves to cover
the whole family. =

ALLENBY STOPS,
CRAFT OF TURK
Persecution Of Armenians and
Confiscation Of Property Pre-.
vented by English Officer.

The most arbitrary city boss in the
world, 1t seems safe to say, as well an
the most INSCRIPTIONS politician 0f
modern times, has turned up in Aintah,
Armenia, to Judge from an official ~
port recently made by Major Stephen
Trowbridge, under Gen. Edmund II. r.
Allenby's orders.
He is Turk named Besim Bey. Until
the Near East Relief agents stopped
him, he practiced upon the terrified
Armenlans such forms Of super-graft
as might well make every other cor
rupt politician In the world green with
envy, and such cruelties as make all
other heartless rulers, from Nero
down, seem sweet and gentle char
acters. His Office was that of Munic-
ipal Chief Accountant of Aintab; but,
as all dishonest oflice-holders know,
it isn't the job that matters, but the
sugar-plums that go with 1t. Besim
Bey pluclSed sugar-plums with both
hands, night and day.
Even inspired city bosses have their
day. Besim Bey's came when the
Near East Relief agents found that no
thorough Armenian relief work could
be done In that city while such condi.
tons Of terrorization existed. General
MacAndrew ordered the arrest and
removal of the six worst Turks in the
ring that ruled the city, and Besim
Beg qualified. as, usual. for first plaza.
