v THE AMERIcUs TIMEs-REcoRDER

the victims until the weight of the
wreckage could be lifted. A call to the
navy yard brought blue jackets and
hydraulic jacks and oxy-hydrogen jets
to burn through the steel beams. The
jacks were lined under the edge of
the fallen balcony and little at
time its weight was lifted. Rescuers
took their lives in their hands to
creep under and release people there.
As daylight came the task became
easier. Engineer officers from the
army could see~what must be done.
They traced each twisted beam and
saw where it would be safe to cut and
where a steel girder might be drag
ged out of the pile with safety to
those below. Holes were cut through
1.-THE wall and with ropes and tackle
the soldiers and sailors heayed away,
lslipping and falling in the musny snow
outside.
Meanwhile, all Washington, it
seemed, was heading for the scene.
With street cars stopped, every street
was black with strings of people
stumbling over the banked snow. They
tramped from every corner of city
and the soldiers and police held rigid
lines about the theater to keep them
back
Hour by hour through the day the
death toll rose. Less than half of the
total had been recovered when full
day light came, despite hours of la
Dor. Gradually the work was organ
lied. Some of the men who had
worked all night were relieved by
comrades to sleep and prepare for
another night of it. New police and
fire crews came in.
Real Search Begins.
After the center of the main floor
had been cleared of victims dug out
of the wreckage by main strength,
more systematic search began and it
was still going on last night without
halt. The workers, sure that this CEN
ter space held no bSdy or injured per-
sons, began turning over the tons of
debris, piling it in that space or
dragging beams and slabs outside.
During the day electricians came to
string wires and set rows of lamps
IN place to aid the work when dark
ness fell. On the street, the glare of
fires lighted by the soldiers to warm
themselves as they waited to heave
on a rope threw additional lights on
the mass within the roofless shell
where hundreds labored increasingly.
; AS the gas jets came into play,
brilliant spurts of flame lighted the
scene. Showers of sparks rose as the
live heat hit through inches of steel
to free another tangle. High on the
walls, sailors and soldiers perched
on hanging beams or in window led
ges to cut loose the ends of girder
and let it be. dragged away. Outside
the piles sof@dehrisarose steadily on
both streets. j.
The final turning over of the
was well under way soon
after dark last night. When the

lery had been lifted on jacks and
men had craWled beneath to drag out.
the last mangled body, more speed
was possible and the, mass that FORM
ed the bottom of the great shell open
to the sky was moving in a steady
orderly course under the keen eyes
