more bodies, raising the total of dead

The bodies previously recovered were
those of three men, three women and

The cause of the fire, which not

was started by a lighted cigarette or
match. The fire started in the mill
and quickly the flames laid hold on
the skeleton structure of the railway
When the firemen arrived, the mill
was blazing pyre and few minutes
later that part of the railway con-
structed over the mill, fell with a
crash into the roaring furnace. Ac-
cording to witnesses, a car filled with
merrymakerS took a fatal leap into
the flames.
Means of agony and cries for help
came from the mill. but firemen found
1t possible to rescue only a few of
those trapped in the blazing structure.
They did succeed, however, in cutting
their way thru the walls and dragging
forth a few persons almost smothered
by the smoke. 1t was a ghastIy
tragedy When reports of the fire
reached the city, thousands of persons

TRADE is OFFERED
Insurance Companies VIII Re-
move Surcharge Rate.
But State Must Allow Them To
Keep Collections.
IT IS UP TO ATTORNEY GENERAL
Apparently He Is Not EnthuSi-
astic Over Idea.
Believes Policy Holders Should
Get Back S25O,0OO.

Fire insurance surcharge rates are
to be removed IL the state Of Kansas
will consent to an agreement permit
ting the insurance companies to keep
all prior collections. The proposal has
been received by Frank L. Travis,
state superintendent of insurance and
is now in the hands of r. j. Hopkins,
attorney general.
The 10 per cent surcharge became
effective last November. Last spring
superintendent Travis ordered its re-
moval. Suit was then brought by the
companies to prevent the Interference
of the state department. The sur
charge question is now in court, but
under the proposal of the 81 fire in
under the proposed agreement.
Hopkins Not Enthusiastic.
Attorney General Hopkins has not
indicated the course he will follow in
disposing of the proposal. That he is
not enthusiastic over the plan was ap-
parent today.
'If the companies needed and were,
justly entitled to a surcharge tax last
winter" said Hopkins. II cannot un-
derstand why it should be removed
now when expenses have not been re-
duced. If they were not entitled to
the surcharge, I think they should re-
turn to policyholders the $250,000 in
excess charges since the tax was or
dered removed"
Hopkins will probably take some ac-
ton this afternoon. II he approves
the proposal of the fire insurance COM
panies, all litigation Of the new rates
in Kansas will be settled. If he re-
jects the peace plan, the courts will
finally settle the dispute as to the JUS
tice of a fire insurance surcharge for
this state.
