1t was believed, however, that the
section now being explored would
yield few additions to the awful list
of death and injured, it being near
the rear and under the part Of the
balcony which held up when the
front of it crashed down to the thea
tire pit under the impact of the falling
roof. A party of the rescuers early
today had been struggling for hours
to release from the part Of the wreck
age now being overturned one man
believed to be yet alive although i'm
prisoned under the mass for nearly
sc hours. The great weight of the
steel beams and concrete which crash
ed with the roof have in many in
stances made the rescue of victims
harrowingly slow and tedious.
The capital city was bowed in grief
today to learn the full extent of the
tragedy with the recovery of victims
yesterday and last night. This was
the more intensely shared by the rest
of the country because Of the consid-
cradle number of visitors who suffer
ed in the catastrophe. President
Harding, in a statement last night,
said the tragedy had left him with
the "same inexpressible sorrow which
has come to all of Washington and
which will be sympathetically felt
throughout the land"
A three-fold investigation of the
cause and circumstances of the col
lapse of the theatre roof was in pros
pect today. In addition to an eXhaus-
tive inquiry ordered by the board of
commerce Of the District, and an
other to be started by the grand jury,
Senator Copper, of Kansas, a mem
Der of the Senate District of Column
bia committee, am ounced that as
soon as the Senate convened he would
introduce a resolution calling for in
vestigation of the tragedy. The SEN
ator said he had received reports that
the building code of the District had
been. violated in more than a few in
stances during the rush of construc-
ton resulting from the rapid increase
of population here after the war dec
laration.
Edward H. Shaughnessy, second as
sistant postmaster general, who was
among the ID listed as seriously in
jured, was still making a fight for his
life today at Walter Reed Hospital.
His wife and two daughters also were
injured, but not seriously. Among
those prominent on the list of dead
as it stood today was former Repre-
sentative A. J. Barchfield, formerly of
Pittsburgh; Mrs. Virginia Farraud,
sister of Minister Bianchi, of Guate-
mala. Most of the dead still lay early
today in the basement of the nearby
Christian Science church, to which
they We're removed for Identification.
Many of the fatally injured also were
taken there, later to swell the total
of victims.
By daybreak this morning the
searchers had explored almost every
portion of the debris strew structure
without finding any more bodies. The
list of dead remained at 10S and it
was said that any additions would
come from the list of injured, several
of whom were in a serious condition

PAYING THE
PRICE Of FOLLY

Folly is sweet while it lasts, but the
taste is bitter when we pay the price
While our troops were fighting fo1
victory in France the rest of US were
fighting for dollars at home-a least
the majority of US were.
Money literally poured into Amer
lea from other countries in return fol-
our munitions and supplies and food
stuffs There seemed to be no end to
/ the stream of gold.
Prosperity came with ? leap, pro
| itearing with a bound, and insanity
outstripped them all.
Everybody made money-big mon.
Iey-and apparently the question up
Ipermost was how to make it fly.
And it flew.
People who before the war could
hardly offord a sewing machine sud
denly blossomed cut in fine raiment
land rode in expensive automobiles.
Nothing was too good or too high
in price.
Money was the only thing that was
cheap.
It came easily, went swiftly, and
forgot to return.
In the early days the foolish virgins
went out without oil in their lamps
and had no light.
The five wise virgins filled their
lamps and had light.
The virgins remind Us Of our own
people in the profteering days.
Foolish heads Of families spent
money like water Now they haye
water, but little money.
Wiser ones saved their money. and
new live in comfort and plenty.
That is the difference between wis
dom and folly.
If the people had saved their mon
ey instead Of squandering it in riot
Gus living they would not now be feel
ing the pinch Of want.
Wise men saw the reaction that
was sure to come. They accumulat-
ed all Of the money. possible and in
vested it in interest bearing secur-
tiles They are now profting from
their wisdom.
Those who considered the pleasures
OF the hour only are now wondering
how to combat the. miseries Of the fu-
ture.
They are paying the price of their
folly.

ALL BONDED
LIQUOR TO
Be STOREL)lN
AFEWPL4CES
Move VIII Reduce Expenses and Make
Prohibition Enforcement
Easier

The Federal Prohibition Bureau is
making survey Of all liquor held in
bond for the purpose Of concentrating
it in a few warehouses. There are
now 304 warehouses in the United
States in which liquor may be stored.
These are divided into three classes
.distiilery warehouses, general bonded
warehouses, and special bonded ware
houses. DistilIery warehouses, as the
name would Indicate, contain only the
liquor produced by the distiIler. The
general bonded warehouses contain
various sorts Of spirits and were used
IN order to facilitate a better distri-
button Of liquor. The special bonded
warehouses at present contain only
brandy.
Owing to the stoppage of the manu-
facture Of spirituous liquor and the
constant drain upon the amount that
was in storage there are a great many
warehouses which contain very
small amount Of spirits. Data at tn,
Office Of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue shows that there are 124 gen
eral bonded warehouses that contain
less than 100000 gallons Of spirits
each, II all such warehouses were
discontinued, and The liquor now stor-
ed there were concentrated in a few
bonded warehouses, the government
would save at least $4,000 year
by the reduction Of warehouse guards.
store keepers, guagers and other over
head.
The law under which this concen-
tration Of liquor may be ordered is a
part Of the appropriation act approved
February 18th. Although the act
makes appropriations for the Treas
1lry Department Tor the fiscal year
beginning July I, 1922, one provision
Of the act, effective as of the date of
its approval, authorizes the Commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue to remove
from any internal revenue bonded
warehouse to any other such ware
house any distilled spirits. It also
provides that any such spirits may be
bottled either before or after the
transfer from one warehouse to the
other. This provision does not affect
the existing laws relating to- the bot
thing of distilled spirits. The bottl-
ing-in-bond act provides that spirits
must be at least four years old be-
fore they can be bottled.
After the selection Of the central
lied warehouses and after proper
bonds have been given for the safety
and care of the spirits to be moved
and stored, the transfer of liquor to
the designated central warehouses is
to begin. The expense Of such trans
fer viii be borne by the distiIlers and
owners of the liquor. In order to safe
guard the parties concerned prior to |
the transfer eff any liquor, a reguage
will be made TO determine the con-
tents Of barrels, it profit and It's
quality.
The states Of Kentucky, Pennsylva-
MA and MARYLAND contain the major
portion of the 38,O00,000 gallons of
now stored in warehouses.
L IS now being withdrawn at an an
NAL rate Of less than 1000, 600 gal
ems.
The new provision will not neees-
state any additional warehouses. The

Kentucky alone have a capacity in ex-
