BOOZE PARTY
MAY Be CAUSE
OF BIG blaze

OKLAHOMA CITY. May 2s.-R
AS mcrgues held the bodies Of five
known victims Of fire and falling
walls, state fire investigators delved
today into reported possibilities that
liquor caused the 100000 coliseum
fire here and that thoughtlessness
augmented the toll Of Life.
Hours Of probing for the bodies
Of additional persons believed
caught under falling walls in the
annex Of the structure, where $50
new motor cars were housed, lay
ahead Of rescue parties.
State Fire Marshal c. r. O'Neal
directed an investigation Of a ru-
mored drinking party in the north
end Of the building shortly before
the flames were discovered Tuesday
morning. O'Neal also sought TO
learn the identity Of persons re-
ported to have shouted: Get a
a out, and you can have ia
cry believed to have lured onlookers
into the death trap Of an annex.
where falling walls were seen 10
topple on groups Of men engaged in
removing the automobiles.
Bodies Recovered
Bodies recovered included those Of
r.. A. Mason, %. a fireman; Dave
Me3zerel. "a, packing plant employee;
Gordon Smith, "a, used a sales
man: Tom Smith. IS. nephew OF
assistant Fire Chief a. Z. Wilker-
son, and an unidentified negro.
Three firemen were injured, none
dangerously
Blinded by intense smoke, Mason
was seen to fall, exhausted. nea- an
entrance. An avalanche Of debris
covered his form a second later.
The others apparently were trap
ped in removing the motor cars.
Fire Chief George 3. Golf ordered
the rescue efforts halted when part
of the east wall of the structure
threatened to fall.
Origin Unknown
The auditorium. in the ~stockyards
district, was constructed ten years
ago HINl ldO llOuSEA AuOoe AGA 80
gatherings here since, including a
throng which greeted Alfred =.
Smith, democratic presidential
nominee. in 1923. CALI Curci. John
Mccormack, Sir Harry Lauder, and
other artists had been there. and
il was the seat Of the Southwest
American Livestock Show and SINH
lar events. It held 1000 persons.
Because the flames, Of unknown
origin. were at first confined to the
auditorium. It vas not believed
danger existed in the annex, and
there was no hesitancy in attempts
to remove the motors, only 80 OF
which we're saved. Collapse OF the
stage wall of the auditorium, separ-
ating IL from the annex, took the
greatest human toll.

Boston Official Says.

Ernest A. Hale of Boston, preSi-
dent of the United States Building
and Loan League, in an address last
night before the Washington Building

recent tremendous growth of the busi-
ness. The growth Of the business in
the past 10 years has been amazing,
he told the council, more rapid than
in the preceding 90 years. He favors
more regional conferences conducted
by the most experienced leaders In
building and loan service.
The human worth Of the movement
was extolled by Representative Robert
Luce of Massachusetts, and by Deputy
M. Estes. c. Clinton James, who rep
resents the local district on the ma

of the legislative program and pre-
