DEATH LIST IM THEATER
 CRASH REACHES tO7
Practically Complete List of Injured Includes Names of 134-o.f
 Others May Die.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Omcial po~ lice records early today placed the known dead in the Knickc1Gocker thcater at 107.
 The list, according to authorities, contained the naL,es of all those whose bodies had been recovered up to midnight from the ruins left when the roof of the theater, cverweighted with snow, collapsed on the audience The volunteer workers including po- lice, fremen, marines and cavalry from Fort Myer, had practically con- cluded their search Of the wreckage at midnight Only far corner O. what had been the orchestra remain ed to be searched.
 Washington, Jan. 29.-One hundred and seven lives were lost in the Knickerbocker tneater last night when the roof weighted by more than two feet of snow, collapsed and buri- ed patrons of the house under a crushing blanket of concrete, plaster and steel, according 70 unofficial but carefully checked records.
 The large majority of the victims, both dead and injured, were residents of Washington, although many came recently from other places.
 Exploration of the ruins went on unchecked after dark, but those in charge believe few additional bodies will be found. Without regard to their own risk, soldiers, marines sail ors, police, firemen and citizens vol unteers have fought their way be- meath the wreckage over practically the whole floor space of the audi torium.
 Roof Falls in Block.
 The exact number in the theater when the steel and concrete span of the roof buckled and fell under it's three-foot load of snow uninjured have been reported These account for few more than 300 in the audi ence, who were roaring in laughter at film comedy when the roof fell on them like blanket, carrying down the front of the wide balcony in it's crash
 There has been no time yet for off, cial inquiry as to the cause of the disaster The ruins themselves dis close however, that the entire mass of steel and concrete that formed the roof had come down. The crash swept the supports out from under the balcony, apparently, and this hinged down at an angle of 45 de- grees, adding to the tangled mass of wreckage on the floor below.
 Entire House UnrOOfed.
 The building stands in an acute angled corner of Eighteenth street and Columbia Road. Northwest, the heart of the most favored residence section of the city. The narrow niche of the stage on which the screen was hung was backed into the corner an- gle, while to the left from the stage the line of the auditorium wall runs in straight line for some 200 feet down Eighteenth street. To the right the wall follows the slow curve of Columbia Road for about the same distance, and at the far end, parallel Loo ol1 completes the auditorium proper, also about 200 feet in length.

TWO SURPRISES IN
 COTTON DIRECTORS
In Nineteenth District Roy Budd and E. J. SheppersOn Are Reported
 in a Deadlock.

Little Rock, Jan. 31-Two surpri- ses occurred in the elction of direc- tors of the Arkansas Cotton Growers Association, the results of which were announced yesterday by J. D. Eldridge, chairman of the associa- tion's Nominating Committee. In two of the 2O>districts the men elected as directors had not been placed on the ballot by the Nominating Committee, but their names were written in by enough members to elect them over the two men whose names had been placed on the ballot.
 The Nominating Committee had left space on the ballot to enable mem bers to vote for a third man if they did not favor either of the two can didates nominated. It had been ex- plained that the object of making nominations was to prevent a scat tering of votes and the possibility of man being elected director with only small percentage of the vote in his district
 In the Eleventh District c. c. Ran dall of McGehee was elected in this manner over D. F. Ladd of Furth and H. w. Cook of Walnut Lake, whose names appeared on the ballot. The district comprises Arkansas, Desha and Lincoln counties. MT. Randall is president of the Desha County Farm Bureau and had an active part in the associations sign-up campaign. He is member of the Executive Com mittee of the Arkansas Sweet Potato Growers Exchange.
 In the Thirteenth District, Bonnie Davis of Magnolia was elected in a similar manner over s. w. Mcleod of Warren and T. J. Gaughan of Cam den, whose names appeared on the ballot. The district comprises the counties of Bradley, Calhoun, Cleve- land, Columbia, Lafayette, Miller, OudCultd dIlu OulOu-
 MT. Dvais formerly represented his county in the legislature, is secre- tary of the Columbia County Farm Bureau.
 The Vote Reported.
 In the Nineteenth district, the elec- ton supervisor, H. Clyde Hill of Hope, reported that the two candi- dates, E. J. Shepperson of Columbus and Roy Budd of Ogden had tied, but he said he thought that three doubtful votes might decide the result in fa- vor of Mr. Budd.
 In the Eighth district, consisting of ee county, the election supervisor, Maj. E. c. Robertson of Marianna, said that Hugh Nixon, wellknown banker and planter of Marianna, un- doubtedly had won over L. M. Osborn of Marianna.

Spanish War Veterans

The Spanish War Veterans Of Co
lumbia have organized local camp
United Spanish War Veterans. They
arc desirous Of peyfecting a state or
ganization, and at their last meeting
it was decided to have banquet
Thursday evening Of Fair Week, Oc-
aober 18th, hours 600 to 7:SO p. M,
thus interfering in no way with the
attractions of the day. This, it was
thought, would be the best way to
get a large number present and dis
cuss methods for securing a state or
ganization, as Spanish War Veterans
from all over the state will be attend
ing the fair on that date.
This banquet will not only bring
the veterans together for social pur-
poses but will afford an opportunity
to assure veterans. their widows and
orphans, who are in need of it, assist
ance in any shape or form that could
be rendered by such an organization.
In the short time said organization
has been at work in Columbia they
have found disabled veterans, and vet
Grams who have reachedEthe age which
automatically entities them to COM
pensation under federal pension laws.
These, and widows and orphans Of
veterans, are having their claims at
tended to. Failure on thsp part Of these
veterans, their widows and orphans,
to take advantage Of their rights and
privileges has not only kept them
from receiving what they are entitled
to, but has gept thousands Of dol
lars from this source from getting
into circulation IN South Carolina,
where organization has been delaSea
for 20 years. It does not make any
difference what veterans financial
condition is, if he is disabled or mas
reached the age Of 81 he is entitled to
compensation, even though his dis
ability may have occurred since he
was mustered out of sarvice.
There will be a charse,of $1.5o per
plate for the banquetysand any vet
eran wishing to bring his wife or a
friend can do SO by paying for an ex-
ira plate. ep
The committee appointed to ar
range for this banqueteis: DR.. F. M.
Durham, Palmetto building, chair
man; Gen. Willie Jones, Palmetto
building, treasurer; VIM. Banks, j.
L. Rainey, C. M. Wactor.
All tickets to banquet must be Sc
cured before October 21st, 50 that the

Lisbon Aroused Over ~
Political Murders

Lisbon, Portugal, Oct. 13.-Two
recent political assassinations in the
streets of lisbon have aroused the peo-
pie of this turbulent city. The au-
thorities are accused Of failing to af-
ford protection to Individuals, and
the newspapers are calling upon the
government to do something, else
Lisbon will become more and more
isolated from the provinces where al
ready the city is regarded as a dam
gerous center Of disorder.
The latest crimes took place within
three days Of each other, and in the
heart Of the city. Neither victim is
expected to live. One was leading
civil revolutionist Known under the
nickname Of "Avante." He is accused
Of having denounced some Of his for
mer comrades who advocated ex-
treme measures. He was crossing
the street at night, near the docks,
when an automobile suddenly stopped
near him. Two men jumped out, one
stabbed him with q dagger, and then
both fled in the car.
The other victim is Sergio Principe,
a Lisbon merchant, who is accused Of
forsaking his old ideals in favor Of
the working classes, and who Is said
to be today the secretary Of the
Patronal Association, an organiza-
ton strongly opposed to the Syndi-
Gates and the Unions. Principe also
was stabbed while walking on the
street in front Of his store, and his
assailant escaped. Both men had re4I
ceived letters Of warning, written in
blood, and signed "The Red Legion"

B & New Features
Added to Colossus

Bring Entire Shiplcad of Nov
elites From Europe.

Made even more tremendous than
90 by the recent addition of many
more trained wild animal displays and
pLrcnase of Europe's biggest
horse show, Ringling Brothers and
) rLum & Bailey combined will ex-
hibit at Spartanburg Saturday, Oc-
.ober %.
! who glance over the cable news
or who read the magazines must have
noted the many contracts entered into
y the Ringling Brothers for foreign
talent last winter. A special ship was
chartered this spring to bring the
,lr DIS of human performers, train
ed animal acts and equine displays to
Amerca. No e than a million per-
ons saw the mammoth new circus of
1922 during the weeks that it exhibit
ed in Madison Square Garden, New
York. Now this marvellous exhibition
is touring the country aboard five
great railroad trains. 1t is a third
bigger than the Ringling Brothers
md Barnum G. Bailey show of last
season. 1t is ten times larger than
any other circus now on tour.
Big as is this wonder circus of 1922
with its more than 20 trained wild
animal displays in steel arenas, fully
10 wonderfully schooled trick horses,
20 men and women performers, 100
clowns, and scores of features-the
price Of admission is no more than be
fore. And though the trained animal
numbers and the immense horse show
were circuses in themselves while
touring Europe, they are not offered
as separate attractions by the Ring-|
ling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey
c"mbined shows. Instead all are on|
"ne gigantic program. Everything
IS in one mammoth main tent. One
'"ket "dmits to all and includes ad-I
mission to the tremendous doubleI

thousand animals in the ZOO Of this |
circus and these include a tiny baby
