Capper Will Ask
Investigation Of
Theater Tragedy
IRepubllean A. P. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Capper of Kansas, a member of the
senate District OF Columbia commit
tee, announced tonight that when the
senate reeonvened he would intro
duce a resolution calling for an in
vestigation Of the Knickerbocker
theater disaster and also OF all large
buildings constructed here since the
beginning of the war.
Senator Capper said reports had
come to him that to a greater or less
degree the building code of the Dis
trict OF Columbia had been violated
during the rush OF construction fol-
lowing the increase in the city's pop
ulation after the war declaration.
An investigation was ordered to-
day by the District of Columbia
board of commissioners. Orders also
went out to close all theaters until
the snow had been cleared from the
roofs and inspectors had examined
the structures.
Officials said that until an inquiry
had been made the direct cause Of
the collapse could not be determined.
1t was stated that the inquiry would
be started when rescuers had made
certain that all OF the bodies had
been removed from the debris.

Washington Man
Dies In Effort
To Save Others
rRenuhlican a. RI. Leased Wlre1


WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. - Many
brave deeds were reported today by
rescuers working in the Knicker-
booker theater wreckage, but they
said Albert G. Buehler of Washing
ton was the outstanding hero, giving
his own life that others might live.
He could have been taken from the
debris fully an hour before he was,
but he directed the rescuers to aid
others whom he declared more eeri-
ously hurt than he. He died soon
after he was removed.
Lieutenant V. NJ. Parson OF the
marine corps, who assisted in direct
ing the rescue work, gave graphic
descriptions Of many individual
rescues.
1--WE were digging into the ruins"
he said, when We saw a tuft OF RED
hair protrudfilg. We uncovered a
small boy, probably nine, who told
us his little sister was beneath the
debris. The girl was rescued and
neither was seriously hurt but their
mother was dead.
"One fellow with both legs hor-
ribly broken. asked for cigarettes as
he was carried out. He joked with
the rescuers about his mangled limbs,
remarking that he had about six
legs now.
1.-TWO women and a man whom we
were digging out also displayed re-
markable nerve, talking with the
men and directing their rescue"

New Pope Will

ROME, Jan. 29.-The 261st pope
will be elected by Saturday, accord
ing to the consensus of opinion as
expressed by the prelates arriving
with the cardinals attached to the
conclave; they expect that the deci-
sion win be reached on the third or
fourth ballot. The conclave opens
Thursday and from present indica-
tions the work Of electing q pope will
be carried on expeditionsly.
81 do not anticipate a sharply
drawn contest which some predict"
said an English eccleciastic today.
American and English church digni-
taries consider it certain that the
choice will fail on an italian. They
believe that the best chances lie with
Cardinals Maffi, Ratti, Lega and La

Ripping Of Roof
Gives Warning To
Man Who Escapes
TRepubIIcan A, p. Leased WIreJ

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29--Long ex-
perience in coal mines enabled W. II.
Morris, a 63-year-old retired coal
mine manager of Buckhannon, w.
Va, TO escape from the Knickerbock-
er theater.
II was in the eighth row from the
'front.'" he said, when / heard a
crack, a sort of ripping sound, exact
ly like that which the slate roof Of
a coal mine makes when 1t is going
to let go. 1t was more instinct than
anything else that brought me to my
feet with one thought flashing
through MY mind: I can beat that
fall TO the outside
"As came into the aisle, / saw
the orchestra leaders baton waving
with the music and little white
cloud coming down above his head.
Then / ran up the aisle, with the
roof cracking and falling. AS I got
to the door. the stuff began to hit me
in a wave of wind from behind,
which literally flung me through the
door and across the lobby onto the
sidewalk.
Il saw no one else moving as
went UP the aisle. The house around
me was practically empty"

CALIFORNIA
CITIES ARE.
VISITED BY.
HEAVY SNOW.
Most Widely Distributed
Snow In Many Years
Spreads Mantle of White
Over Sunny California
TRepubIioan A. p. Leased wlre1

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29-Cali-
fornia today received the most widely
distributed snow fall in many years.
A cold north wind whipping in off
the ocean and down over the north
ern mountains into the valleys
brought rain that turned to snow In
many localities, some of which had
not so heavy a fall in years. Los
Angeles, other southern points and
San Francisco shared in flurries of
flat flakes.
Around San Francisco bay the fall
was the first in six years and varied
from trace in San Francisco proper
to two or three inches in parts of
Berkeley and Oakland. There were
three inches or more on the hillsides
around San Rafael. Mill Valley and
Mt. Tamalpais. The mountain itself
had a heavier fall yesterday.
At San Mateo and other points on
the San Francisco peninsula in San
Mateo county snow was reported,
while at Moss Beach there was a
heavy hail storm. Several inches fell
at Vallejo and telephone and tele-
1ut of commission for some hours.
Automobiles loaded their running
boards with snow and took it home
so that many children living where
the white flakes melted as they
touched the ground.
Benicia, on San Francis CO bay, re-
ported two inches Of snow had fallen
today, carrying down telephone and
telegraph lines and interfering with
wireless transmission from the gov
ernment station at Yerba Buena ISL
and by breaking the control wires
leading to its sending arc at Mare
Island navy yard.
At Vallejo three inches of snow
fell in two hours. In southern Cali
fornia the wind was higher than else
where along the coast. Off Los An
geles harbor the pilot boat Hesper
was capsized and one man drowned
While the snow was general in Cal
ifornia, there were points in the south
that it did not strike. Los Angeles
had a few flurries of flakes: River
side reported enough to whiten the
ground, and San Bernardino's fall
was the heaviest since 1882, varying
from one to three inches, according
to the local authorities.
Snow frolics were held In the
streets. The snow had not melted
tonight and residents had the unusual
sight Of snow clinging to orange
trees.
In the valleys around Los Angeles
the fall was general; foot fell at
Mt. Wilson, near Pasadena, and an
equal fall at Devore blocked automo-
bile travel through Cajon Pass.
Stockton, with a three-inch fall,
had it's first snow since 1915. and the
youngsters made the most of it. Some
of them had never seen snow before.
The weather. bureau forecast is for
continued cold weather tomorrow.

Few Of the dead were actually
