inquiry as to the cause of disaster.
The ruins disclose that the entire
mass Of steel-held concrete that form,
ed the roof had come down. The
crash swept the supports out from
under the balcony, apparently, and
this hinged down at an angle of as
degrees, adding to the tangled mass
of wreckage on the floor below.
The building stands in an acute
angled corner at Eighteenth Street
and Columbia road, northwest, the
heart Of the most favored residential
section. The narrow niche of the
stage on which the screen was hung
was backed into the corner angle,
while to the left from the stage, the
line of the auditorium wall runs in a
straight line for some 200 feet down
Eighteenth street. To the right, the
wall follows the slow curce of Column
bia road for about the same distance
and at the far end, paralleling the
stage front, the back wall completes
the auditorium proper, also about 200
feet in length.
Hurled Through Doorway.
This whole space stood roofless to
the sky a moment after the first hiss
ing sound Of the breaking roof gave
warning above the music Of the or
chestra. There is only one survivor
thus far who has told of having heard
that warning and seen the first pow
derry handful of snow sift down over
the head of the orchestra leader in
time to make his escape. From his
seat we'll forward ON the main floor,
he raced for the doors at the back. A
great blast Of air expelled as the roof
came down hurled him out through
the doorway to safety.
Most Of the bodies were recovered
from the floor Of the pit beneath the
wreckage Of the balcony or from the
front Of the balcony itself. Following
the rule Of motion picture audiences
and with an empty house to pick
from, those on the main floor had
grouped themselves in the rows Of
seats just below the front of the bal
cony. They were back far enough to
see well and the front and back rows
were almost empty.
At the point they had chosen, the
danger proved to be just double. Few
Of those seated there could have es.
capped.

NOMINATION OF
MILLER AS US.
JUDGE APPROVED
UNANIMOUS SUBCOMMITTEE
ACTION RECOMMENDS THAT
CHARGES BE DISREGARDED.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The
nomination Of Andrew Miller to
be federal Judge for the North
Dakota district was ordered re-
ported favorably to the senate
today by the judiciary committee.
The action, Chairman Nelson said
was unanimous and based on a
new report by a subcommittee,
which recommended that charges
against Mr.. Miller be disregard
ed.

Testimony Is Heard.

IeSClmOny Is aeat0.
Washington, Jan. 31.-Just before
it was scheduled to make it's report
to the judiciary committee of the SEN
ate, the subcommittee named to hear
the charges against Andrew Miller,
heard the testimony of Standard Oil
company officials and others today.
There was no hearing Saturday due
to the fact that Washington was
snow-bound.
C. w. Martyr, general counsel of
the Standard Oil company, told the
committee that he had first met Mil
ler in North Dakota, having been
introduced to him by a man named
Carter, one Of the company's agents
in the state. He reviewed the en-
ployment Of Miller and said that he
had been employed for the express
purpose Of aiding in getting the leg
islation desired passed by the legisla-
ture. Martyrs testimony differed
very little from that offered by Mil
ler himself.
Burke Supports Miller
Former Governor John Burke testi-
fled in behalf Of Miller. He said that
he had personal confidence in the
nominee and believed that he would
make good federal Judge.
Mr.. Burke said tina the believed
Miller strong enough man to throw
off any influence Of Alex Mckenzie,
if such weie attempted. He admitted
that "McKenzieism" was an evil.
Pettibone Demand Renewed,
Representatives Of the North Da-
kota clean court committee renewed
their demands that L. C. Pettibone be
summoned to testify in regard to the
Turtle Land company matters. The
subcommittee insisted it had no time
to summon Pettibone now.
The North Dakota clean court rep
resentatives also submitted state
ment to the effect that they had made
an exhaustive search and had not
found any evidence that either Mil
ler's father or mother had been ma
turalized. They questioned Miller's
citizenship.
The North Dakota men here fight
ing Miller are now centering their at
tention upon the fight to be made
upon the floor Of the senate. It is re-
ported that a group Of progressive
Republican senator's are ready to join
with some of the Democrats in fight
ing the confirmation.

In introducing Lands, Commander
MacNider told of being asked in Paris
his opinion as to who typities every
thing one likes to think of an Ameri-
can, Theodore Roosevelt then having
died. MacNider said he didn't know,
but since becoming acquainted with
Lands he knows now that he would
have named him, ''the best friend OF
the American Legion"
That Lands enjoyed his visit to New
Orleans and with his "buddies" Is
evidenced by the closing sentence of
his address to the convention:
Il want in taking leave of you to
remind you, the various fellows from
the states, and the fellows in the con-
ventiOn as whole, l want you to re-
member that while l was on the side
lines when you were making and un-
making maps of the world and re-writ-
Ing history, l want you to remember
that l have got a lot of idle time on my
hands-that according to the judgment
of the best doctors in the world, /
have got a minimum of thirty-five
years of activity ahead of me, and that
next year and five years from now,
and ten and fifteen and twenty and
twenty-five years from now, you and
l, men and women of the Legion, have

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
OF sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. kilmer's Swamp Root, q
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney.

nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

from his office.
During the two-hour conversation
Governor Parker and the Attorney
General had with President Harding
in Washington, there never was the
slightest illusion to federal interven-
tion or the inability of the state of
Louisiana to cope with any situ- ION, "
Judge Coco said.

concluded
In his statement the attorney gen.

Washington which involved the Ku

primarily to induce the president to

Of customs
"The governor ~,ade a vigorous pro-
