snow, crumpled and fell upon the
hundreds below, halted late yester-
day, after As hours of continuous
work of rescue.
The death list at the end of the
long search was placed officially al

more may be added by the death of
some of those in hospitals, seriously
wounded. More than 100 sustained
serious injuries, and many of them
are in a critical condition.
Convinced that all bodies had
been removed from the debris, the
search was halted by officials In

the theater razed at once as a pre-
caution Jnfounded reports that
the walls had collapsed, killing men

sured the public that they had been

safe, Harry Craudan, manager of
the Kuickcrbocker, in announcing
that other theaters in the Crandall
chain would remain closed until
further notice, said this was done
not because any OF the theaters
were considered unsafe, but because
he and his associates did not desire
