Z CHILDREN
DIE IN PANIC
THEATRE HORROR IN SCOTCH
FACTORY TOWN ONE OF
WORST RECORDED

Paisley, Scotland, Dec. 31.-Hor-
ror and mourning saw the old
year out in this manufacturing
town of $4,000 persons Tuesday
night after the worst cinema dis
aster in British history.
The crackle of flame depicted
in a Hollywood film led to a real
life drama in which 70 children
were killed and 140 sent to hos
pitfalls, 81 in a grave condition.
The film, aptly named 1.-THE
Crowd, in which a fire truck
runs owe a baby girl, was being
shown to 1900 children ranging
from 16 months to IA years at a
holiday matinee in the Glen Gin
ema theater.
Deadly carbon monoxide fumes
spread from the operators booth
and created a panic among the
children, who, with only a few
adults to guide them, raced for
the exits.
The blaze itself was slight, but
cries of Fire" and the acrid
fumes brought bedlam. Blindly the
children fought for the main exit,
where those on the ground floor
became hopelessly entangled with
the frightened mob tumbling down
the stairs from the balcony. Side
exits were almost ignored.
Screams filled the theater as
the children piled up near the
doors. The dense yellowish smoke
crept everywhere, and the victims
that had not been crushed to
death were asphyxiated.
The cause was uncertain. The
cinema operator said his assistant
vas r%ewinding film in the booth
when he heard a kissing noise.
He saw the assistant try to carry
the blazing film from the build
ing but it flared up and could
not be handled. w. c. Gibbs, re-
opposite the theater, said
on the other hand that the film
itself was not damaged.
Killed by Fumes

done the deadliest execution, TAX

WEST ALASKA
 BUSINESSQUIET
Mining Activity to Increase Says Charles Minor,
 Oldtimer, Valdez

While business in Southwest eern Alaska is quiet at present, residents of that section of the Territory an- ticipate increased mining activity this spring, according to Charles J. Minor, fox farmer and miner of Valdez, who is stopping in Juneau on his way to Seattle. He arrived on the Admiral Rogers yesterday.
 MT. Minor is an old-time Alaskan, having lived in Valdez and yicin- ity for 20 years. For the past six years he has been engaged in fox farming about sixty miles from Val dez and this winter sold out his interests.
 Fur Farming Good
 While fur farming in the Valdez district is not booming particularly the condition of the industry is quite favorable, MT. Minor said
 Predicting more activity in the mine near Valdez and in other formerly productive proper ties in the vicinity, MT. Minor is optimistic for a good season 1n l930.
 Predicts Decline
 After following fur markets over l period of many years, MT Minor S of the opinion that the prices on mink furs, will soon experience ! decline similar to that which af ected the fox fur market a few ears ago, he said. He expects to leave on an early 'oat for the south and will remain n Seattle about one month. Upon eturning to Valdez he will be oc- upied with developing certain mining interests which he has here.

TICKETS FOR SMOKER ARE
 GOING WELL
Ringside Positions Fast Disappearing for Legion
 Fights Tomorrow

With the advance sale of tickets hitting a fast stride indications are that the house will be sold out before the fights start in the lower floor of the A. B. Hall to- morrow night in the smoker being put on by the local post of the American Legion.
 Ringside seats are making the best bid for the money with fewer general admission seats being sold in proportion. It is evident that the real fight fans ars going to get just as close to the ring to- morrow as possible
 Red" Campbell, who has already established himself as a steady scrapper of repute, especially by his decisive victory over Soldier" Olson, will have a good drawing card record should he put the skids under his opponent.
 His little playmate in the main event tomorrow, however, can be depended on for almost anything. Joe Collier has been taken to the cleaners more than once in late years in this vicinity. but fight fans will have to admit that one never knows just when and on whom Joe will drop the boom.
 In the two scraps between the curtain-raiser and the main go the Hulse brothers will take on Murphy and White Granny will mix with the former in the six-round semi final affair, while Rod will do bat tie with the latter in the second preliminary, a four-round fracas.
 Ruckhart and Rocovich will be-
