SAN FRANCISCO. May 13.-Two
men and two women were killed early
today when the toe of torch dancer
transformed gay San Francisco night
club into a flaming hall of horror.
The hat check girl was trampled to
death as the so patrons stampeded
from the lone exit from the Shamrock
Club in the hotel district of downtown
San Francisco The other three died
of suffocation in the closed second
floor room.
Nine persons we're injured. three of
them so seriously they we're kept at the
Emergency Hospital, where all were

Calf. whose husband formerly was
part owner of the Shamrock Club.
Robert Pattison, Berkeley, Calf.
John Mason, San Francisco.
lOrCn lSIutcS DrdpcrieS.
The fire started at the height Of
gayety during the torch dance Of Betty
Blossom, performer at the club.
As she danced about the darkened,
low-c -ceilinged room with a torch in
each hand, she kicked one of the
torches so that its flames leaped up to
the f1imsy draperies which covered
the entire room.
Flames swept quickly through the
decorations. Panic swept the crowd.
Screaming, shouting. they dashed
for the only exit Miss Dickinson was
in their path. She was knocked down
and trampled to death.
Some collapsed on the dance floor
Others dived into dressing rooms or
the ice box.
The flames were quickly smothered
without spreading to other parts Of
the two-story building. Firemen at
first thought every one escaped. They
we're spurred to action by the screams
of escaped entertainers that others
were still in the club.
Criminal" Says Police Captain.
"The is criminal" said Charles
Dullea, captain of police inspectors,
after an inspection. There was no
air in the place.
There was only one exit and en-
trance at the foot of a steep stair
way with an abrupt right-angle turn.
"All the windows were boarded In
Il am going through every night
club in San Francisco to see If such
conditions obtain elsewhere"
Mrs. Marler, one of the victims and
wife of Bob Forrest Marler, who owns
the Club Redwood, near Petaluma, had
come to San Francisco to visit old
friends at the Shamrock and ''for a
good time"
Firemen Hindered by Crowds.
Arriving firemen, fighting against
crowds which had poured onto the
street from surrounding hotels and
apartment houses, were blocked
further by the tangled mass strug-
Cling from the exit.
Smoke continued to billow from
doors and windows after the flames,
which had swept the interior of the
club, were checked by streams of
water.
The choking firemen then pressed
through the smoke to bring out the
bodies they could see lying on the
floor.

DR.. Kagawa said the young militar-

The extremist movement is Spo-
