MADRID, Sept. "a The
death roll in Madrid s tragic
theater fire was increased to-
$50, while the large number
Of seriously injured threatened
hourly to push it still higher.
There were $40 persons under
treatment in hospitals and pri-
vate homes.
The dead and injured were victims
of a blaze that swept through Move.
dades Theater, one of the largest IN
this cit.
There were heart-rending scenes
at the morgue and first-aid stations
where frantic mothers, screaming
and beating their breasts, sought the
bodies of missing chilren.
So badly burned and mangled were
many of the corpses that identificar
ton was not attempted.
100000 Gather At Scene
A croUI of 100000 men AMI
women gathered about the fire

efforts of soldiers and police to pre-
vent them from storming the wreck

An night long these spectators
milled hack and forth. their means
and cries of anguish filling the air.
Members of the cabinet visited tho
scene to encourage the rescue
workers to greater efforts.
All over the city flags were flying
at half mast.
Many wealthy society women en-.
ployed their private automobiles as
ambulances to carry the injured to
hospitals or their homes.
All the hospital facilities of the
city are cooperating in caring for
victims of the catastrophe. More
than 800 persons of the $500 in the
theater at the time the fire started
were trampled or burned in the panic
that followed. Many OF these are in
a serious condition and it IS feared
some may die.
Started On Stage
The fire started upon the stage
during an intermission. To prevent
an immediate panic, the orchestra

plosion followed which killed several
of the musicians.

been bad blood between the two
men for months.
In Ugly Mood
Simmons and his son we're en- the

Fitzwater, in an ugly mood and
armed with a rifle, Is alleged to
have approached and to have Bit

a stone at his own 11-year old son
and of inflicting a scalp wound
upon him.
young simmons denied the charge
and the father angrily ordered
F'itzwater- off the place
The latter then opened fire, put

and another in the boys abdomen:
Simmons was instantly killed ana
the boy lived for an hour or TWO;
Simmons wife. who bravely trled
to get the gun out Of F1tzwatef,s
hands, had a finger blown off.
Submitted to Police
Fitzwater made no attempt 10
evade arrest and frankly told the
police he was out to get" simmons
but denied that he intended to shoot
his son.
He told a long and rambling story
of a feud originating in "moonsnin-
ing" in the mountains and contlnu'
ing over q protracted period.
Simmons had always been his en-
envy, he declared, and was at the
bottom of a recent attempt to FORCE
Fitzwater to give up his farm ano
move to another county.
Fitzwater was embittered because
he had been boycotted as the result
Of stories told by Simmons about him.
When the two youngsters met
each other on a mountain tran re-
Gently, Fitzwater told the police,
Simmons son threw a rock at his
own boy and injured him severely.
This famed the smouldering feud
into a flame. and he went over 10
the Simmons farm with full inten-
ton of obtaining reparation, he SAID.
