In ireland Buried In
Common Grave Tuesday
(Ry Dispatch a. 2. Wlrel

DRUMCOLLOGHER, County LINER
ick, ireland, Sept. Z. = Forty-eight of
those who perished Sunday night in
the fire which swept a flimsy wooden
structure where motion picture was
being shown were buried in the local
churchyard> in a common grave today.
Twenty-six of them were charred be-
yond Identification. The story of the
disaster which has put so many fami-
lies in this district in mourning was
told at a coroner's inquest today. 1t
was a story, narrowing in detail, of
men, women and children packed into
a building almost ready to collapse and
without adequate entrance or exit, OF
a motion picture protector absolutely
unprotected and candle burning near
inflammable films.
Then when a spark set the films
afire in the crowded upper floor of the
building, efforts to quench the flames
only succeeded in spreading them in
all directions. great panic ensued.
The solitary exit was soon blocked; the
rickety stairs broke through and
shortly the floor collapsed. Frightened
people tried to escape by barred Win
dows, others were caught in the strug-
Cling mass. Many did not reach the
outer air, but not less than SO were
burned Or crushed to death.
The owner of the building, William
Ford, who was one of those to escape,
admitted there was no protection
against fire in ris building. The op-
orator of the machine, Patrick Down
ing, who also escaped, told of the buri-
ing candle and the blazing films, and
his endeavors to put out the flames and
keep the people from becoming panic
stricken.
Both of these men are under deten-
ton and President Cosgrave, of the
Irish Free State who came here to lend
his sympathy to the stricken people,
declared he will order thorough in
vestigation. He attended the funeral
services today, which were conducted
by the Bishop of Limerick.

The members of the local guard
who were In the World War are evinc-
ing some interest in the company
funds, in the hands of the War De-
partment, which We're derived from
post exchanges at training camps and
popular subscriptions by home organt-
cations. and which were carried over
seas with the hope that they would
enable the State units to enjoy special
comforts and entertainment. The
stocks of supplies in France were SO
limited, however that 1t was not pos
sible to eXpend these funds, and most
of them We're brought back when the
war was over, and were turned over
on demand to the War Department.
Since the units were demobiliZed
many members of Congress have been
importuned by National Guard units
In their respective districts to secure
the return of these funds, which they
contend were donated and accrued
during their service for the particular
benefit of the organization, and did
not in amy way constitute a Federal
fund.
Representative Allen j. Furlow of
Minnesota has introduced q bill In
Congress which has been favorably
reported in the House. providing for
the return of these funds, which are
said to amount to about $3.50, 900.
Every State in the Union and the Dis
trict of Columbia will receive a slice
of this fund when the legislation be-
comes law. The bill provides for the
return of all funds, whether the
World War units have been recon
stituted or not and makes the State
governors free to decide to what units
the funds should go.
An amendment has been asked in
the bill by the local guard officials,
because of the peculiar condition here.
to make the commanding general of
the National Guard of the District of
Columbia the trustee for the funds
which may come to the troops of this
city.
