10 DANCERS BURN
TODEATH AND Is
OTHERS CRUSHED
Is Lose Lives in Fire Which
Destroys Building Where
Village Folk Make Merry,

Vile Platt, La, Nov. 23.-Twen-
ty-tive persons, most of them wo-
men and girls, lost their lives here
last night in a fire which quickly
destroyed frame building in which
800 of the village folk were making
merry at a dance. Fifteen Others
were seriously injured and search OF
the ruins was expected to add to
the list of the dead.
Ten of the dancers were burned
to death and others were crushed in
stampede to reach the street down
a narrow stairway while the flames
were sweeping rapidly from the
lower floor. More than a score OF
babies, tucked safely away in lit
tie nursery on the same floor with
the dance hall, were rescued by
mothers who had taken them there
along with their children of dane
ing age. Some of the youngsters
were picked up and hurled bodily
into the outstretched arms of peo-
pie in the street below.
The fire started in a grocery store
and a tongue of fame reached out
and startled "a crowd in a moving
picture theater in the same building
with the grocery and dance hall A
man standing near the door shouted
to the audience to move out quietly
and none were hurt.
The flames spread so rapidly that
the whole lower floor was a roaring
blaze before the dancers in the hall
above were aware of their danger.
Instantly there was a panic, and
the crowd, men. women and chill.
dren made mad rush for the single
exit, the narrow stairway leading
down the side of the burning build
ing. This soon was choked, and
many of those who were trapped
escaped through windows to the
roof of an adjoining building. Many
of the victims were burned beyond
recognition, and bits of jewelry
we're the only means of identified
tion of the bodies.

JOKER
PHONES MESSAGE
PRESIDENT DEAD
Vice-President Receives Com
munication While Making
Address and Is Overcome.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 23.-Througll
a hoax perpetuated by an unidenti-
fed person an address by Vice Pres
;dent Marshall at the auditorium
armory was broken up by the false
announcement that President Will
son was dead. The man, it was
said, telephoned to the auditorium
office and asked for the vice presi-
dent. When advised that Mr.. Mar
shall was making an address and
could not come to the telephone,
tie voice replied, We'll, he'll come
now for the president is dead and
Washington wants him on long dis
tance."
The engineer of the building re-
ceived the telephone call and a po-
liceman took the news to the stage
and told it to Charles G. Haden, a
Businessman who informed the vice
president that "the president is
dead"
Mr.. Marshall bowed his head and
appeared overcome. Then recover
ing somewhat, he told the audience
what had been told him. He could
hardly speak Women broke into
weeping and someone began to play
Nearer My God to Thee" on the
immense organ.
As soon as he could, the vice pres
ident got to a telephone and called
up The Associated Press, where he
was assured that there was no
truth in such rumor.
Thank God" he replied.
Meanwhile the audience was dis
persing and the false report spread
over the city. Newspapers were al
most swamped with telephone in
quiries.
No reason for the hoax had been
advanced by local officials tonight,
but an immediate investigation was
begun. Governor Dorsey announced
reward of $100 for evidence identi-
flying the person who started the
rumor
Mr.. Marshall came here to speak
in behalf of a fraternal order and
had not made more than half his ad-
dress when he was interrupted.

SETTLEMENT IN
COAL STRIKE IS
EXPECTED TODAY
Fuel Administrator Garfield
Will Intervene to Avert
Coal Famine.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The inter
vention of Fuel Administrator Gar
field Monday in the tagging nego-
tlatons of bituminous operators and
miners of the central competitive
field was expected to bring to eli
max the long drawn-out conflict and
to clear the way for a speedy settle
ment of the strike situation which
has put the country on the verge OF
a coal famine.
Although the day brought no new
Developments here, as mine owners
and workers awaited action by the
administration, it was evident that
both sides recognized that a settle
ment could not long be delayed. No
formal meetings of any sort were
held.
Reports received by operators
from middle western states showed
that the coal scarcity already had
reached the famine stage, and that
the cold weather had brought suffer
ing and hardship.
Several operators declared their
willingness to accept whatever prop
osition the government might offer.
With the entire country aroused to
the need of resuming the production
of coal on a normal basis, neither
the miners nor the owners of the
properties. they said, could afford to
turn deaf ear to recommendations
of the government.
As the situation now stands as re-
CARDS wage advances, the operators
have offered an increase of 20 per
cent and the miners have agreed to
accept the 81 per cent proposed by
Secretary Wilson. The possibility
of compromise between these fig
ures, part of the increase to be paid
by the public in higher prices and
some to come out of the margin of
the mining companies. was suggest
ed in some circles, and it was said
this would be placed before both
sides tomorrow.

FAIR RIVAL FOR
HAND OF STUDENT

ated by Jealousy. Seriously
Wounds Gladys Racey.

Delaware, O., Nov. 23.-Staid
Ohio Wesleyan college is thrilled
with the details of the most sensa-
tional love triangle" case in its
history, which was climaxed by the
confession OF Blanche Davidson, 10,
freshman coed, that, actuated by
Jealousy, she fired the mystery shot
which seriously wounded Gladys
Racey, also a coed, as shs ascended
the stairway of Gray's chapel.
The confession came, according
to the police, following long grill
ing. The girl, at first defiant, be-
came fearful and finally told the
officers her story.
A revolver wrapped in a woman's
stocking found near the scene of the
shooting gave the police the clue
which led them to suspect Miss
Davidson.

Davidson girl told them she had
carried the revolver for several
days, awaiting an opportunity to
"get" Miss Racey, whom she de-
scribed as my rival"
According to the confession, the
third figure in the "love triangle"
was a well-known young student of
Ohio State university, whose name
was given to the police, they said.
The girl told the officials that
both herself and Miss Racey had
found favor in his eyes" but that
lately his attentions had been
showered on Miss Racey.

is being held at the police station,
where her confession was made. She
will be charged with shooting with
intent to kill.
The young woman is daughter
of c. NJ. Davidson, residing south
of this city. She is a graduate of
Delaware High school. The revolt
yer she confessed she had obtained
from a workman employed at the
Girls Industrial Home, where she
was employed last summer as a

is at Caldwell, passed good night
