II KNOWN DEAD
IN KLAMATH FIRE

The known death list OF the
Klamath Falls fire of last Mon
day morning has now reached II,
with several other bodies believed
still to be buried in the ruins.
Fourteen of these bodies were
recovered from the ruins of the
Houston hotel, while the body of
Miss Margaret Hanley, chamber
maid in the hotel, is known to be
somewhere in the debris. Two
bodies were found yesterday in
the ruins of the Heidrick apart
ment house, where none were be-
lieved to have perished.
The identified dead, in addi-
tion to those listed yesterday are:
Grace Hall, also known as Mrs.
Dolly Taylor. and believed to have
come from either Medford or Port
land.
A man named Dalton, whose
address has not been determined.
Clyde Pollock, lumber camp
worker.
Charles d. Shadrick of Port
land.
Nine bodies had not been iden-
titled at last reports.
Three Portland men - Len
ley B. and Harry b. Shad-
rick and Thomas Butts - at
first believed fire victims, have
been located. The Shadricks are
brothers and it was their father
who perished in the fire. Butts,
the other Portland man, escaped
from the blazing building attired
only in an undershirt.
The new court house on Main
street has ben converted into a
temporary lodging mouse and fire
victims are being cared for there.
At least $50 guests were in the
Houston hotel when the fire broke
out, and many of them were left
practically destitute.
A relief fund has been started
by the Central Labor Council of
klamath Falls with a subscription
of $3.50 and is growing rapidly.
The bodies of those not yet iden-
titled have been removed to the
coroner's office WI ere they are
being held for possible identifica-
tion by friends or relatives.
The body of the girl known as
Grace Hall has not been recovered
as yet, and there is some question
as to her real identity. A Grace
Hall has been found working in
Medford, but the missing woman
also gave the name of Taylor and
is said to have relatives in AL
bany. 1t is also thought possible
she may have been Dollie Pan
thorpe, who is said to have come
to Klamath Falls from this city. /
A revised list o. property losses
places the total damage at SAL
900 with apparently but $4,000 in |
1t is announced from Salem that .
The state fire marshars depart
ment will make a thorough inves-
legation of the fire with view to
determining responsibility for the
fearful loss of life, and whether
)r not proper precautions had been
.aken in the way of fire escapes
md other means of exit from the
burned buildings.

KLAMATH FIRE NOT
SET, DECLARES JURY

The cOroner's Jury which inves-
tigated the Klamath Falls hotel
and lodging house fire of Labor
day, returned a verdict that the
victims thereof came to their
death by burning and that there
was no evidence that the fire was
of incendiary origin, The inyes-
tigation showed nc fault to he
found with the alarm system or
the manner in which the alarm
was turned in.
Evidence of letters warning the
Houston hotel proprietOrs that the
hotel would be destroyed by fire
OH Labor day was introduced, but
later disproved by what is CON
sidered infallible testimony.
Paul Breitenstein, who was en-
gagged to recover bodies from the
debris, insists that portions OF fiji
teen bodies have been found, but
the jury decided that while there
might be that many victims the
exhibits viewed by them do not
substantiate the claim. The body
OF Robert Dawson. one OF the yic-
tins of the fire, has been iden-
titled by his parents, who live in
Albany, this state. and was sent
there for burial.

day at the Second Annual Flower

iris with several darker ones in the
center. Little yellow wild daisies were
also used. The bowl was placed on
runners of lavender tulle. At each
place on the dining table were small
corsage bouquets of the iris and daisies
tied with narrow yellow ribbon. The
little yellow ribbon was also draped
across the tulle from the centerpiece
to the smaller bouquets.
The Native Daughters were award
ed the second place. their exhibit be-
ing a basket OF white and purple iris.
The West Side Forestry club. which
held the cup last year, was given the
third place. They had a striking CEN
ter piece of pyrethrum or painted

were especially pleasing were: The
Tuesday Study club, the Western Soro-
sis and the Day Nursery club. The
Bells daisies from which pink ribbons
extended to the smaller baskets OF the
same flower at the edge of the table.

work for the women of the city who
