Scores of the children ents and others strove in wild frenzy masses in which they had formed in 1 ing building. So tightly had the children becc front and rear, that not one was dise fore the eyes of those helpless to resc The front doors of the school he in the basement and s^ept up the wc building, and it is evident that the narrow passageway before workmen were able to break down the doors. The rear stairway was so narrow rapid that most of the children who t in a jam, from which no human powe Penned in the narrow nauways, opened inward, the little ones died t grinding heels of their panic stricke Morgue Contains 105 Victims. The fire occurred at 10 a. m., soon after the children had assembled at the school, which was ten miles east of Cleveland. One hundred and sixty-five little bodies lie in the temporary morgue near the school, or have been taken home. Six children were still unaccounted for, and all the hospitals and houses for two miles around contain numbers of injured children, some of whom will die. The school contained between 310 and 325 pupils, and of this entire number only about eighty are known to have left the building unhurt. It will be several days before the actual number of killed is Jcnown, as the ruins may still contaih other bodies, and the list of fatalities may be increased by a number of deaths among the children hovering between life and death. The school house was of brick, two stories and an attic in height. The number of pupils was more than normally large, and the smaller children had been placed in the upper part of the building. There was only one Qre escape in the rear. There were two stairways, one leading to a door In front and the other to a door in the rear. Both of these doors opened Inward. When the flames were discovered the teachers, who throughout seem to have acted with courage and selfpossession and to have struggled heroically for the safety of their pupils, marshalled the little ones into column for the "fire drill" which they had often practiced. - V : 1 J thn wnen me cunuicu icauwu toot of the stairs they found the flames close upon them, and so swift i rush was made for the door that in in instant a tightly packed mass of children was piled up against it. From that second none of those upon any portion of the first flight of stairs bad a chance for their lives. The children at the foot of th<? stairs attempted to fight their way back to the floor above, while those who were coming down shoved them mercilessly back into the flsmes below. In an instant there was a frightful panic, with 200 children lighting for their lives. Most of those who were killed died here. The greater part of those who escaped managed to turn back and reached the fire escape from the windows in the rear. Heap of Burned Bodies Told the Story Etactly what happened at the foot of that first flight of stairs will never be known, lor an 01 tnose caugm iu the full fury of the panic were killed. After the flames had died away a huge heap of little bodies burned by the fire and trampled into things of horror told the tale as well as aaybody need to know it. Collinwood contains about 8000 people, and within a half hour after the outbreak of the fire nearly every ine of them was gathered around the blazing ruins of the school house, hundreds of parents fighting frantically with the policemen and firemen who were busily engaged in saving the lives of the children caught in the burning building, and doing their best to extinguish the fire. The police were utterly unable, through lack of numbers, to keep nway the crowd that pressed upon 'hem, and-the situation soon' became, so serious that a number of the more sool headed men in the throng took It upon themselves to aid in fighting back the crowd, while others worked to help the firemen and the police. Among these latter men was Wal!ace Upton, who reached the building shortly after the front door had caved ;n, and disclosed to the horror stricken crowd the awful scenes that had been enacted there. Just in front of Upton's eyes was his own ten-yearold daughter, helpless in the crush; padly burned and trampled upon, but v.till alive. The fire was close upon iier, and if she could not be saved at once she could not be saved at all. Upton sprang to help her, and with nil his strength sought to tear her from the weight that was pressing Tier down and from the flames which were creeping close. Although he worked with the desperation of deSENATOR PROCTOR DEAD. Aged Representative of Vermont Died in Washington, D. C. Washington, D.

He fought on until his clothing was partly burned from him and the skin of his face and hands were scorched black. Other men attempted to induce him to desist, but he refused until he saw that his girl was dead and that he could not save her life by sacrificing, his own. He then withdrew from the school house, and although so seriously injured that he may die, lingered about the place for several hours, refusing to go to a hosaw oaoIt maHfnal oftonHnn yi Lcl l vji uu owun. The flames spread with such terrific rapidity that within thirty minutes from the time the fire was discovered the school house was nothing but a few blackened walls surrounding a cellar filled with corpses and debris. The firemen dashed into the blazing wreckage, and with rakes, forks, shovels and their bare hands worked in the most frantic manner with the hope of saving a few more lives. They were unsuccessful, for none was taken alive from the ruins after the floors collapsed. Fragments of incinerated limbs, skulls and bones were found almost at every turn, and these things were piled together in a little heap at one side of the building. Many Burned Beyond Recognition. The great majority of the little bodies that were taken from the ruins were burned beyond all possible recognition. And it is no small part of the sorrow which is bearing down the people of Collinwocd that positive identification of many of the children will never be made. Besides the children killed inside the building Mary Ridgeway, Anna Roth and Gertrude Davis were instantly killed by leaping from the attic to the ground. One of the heroines of the catastrophe was little Marie Witman. who ran through the smoke-filled halls, grasped her little brother, managed to drag him from the room and out through a window. Both were nearly strangled with smoke. Two young women teachers perished in a vain effort to save the little ones. The cause of the fire is a mystery. There are declarations that it was incendiary. All now known is that three little girls coming from the basement saw smoke and notified the janitor. Before the janitor could sound the fire alarm gong a mass of flame was sweeping up the stairway from the basement. Before the children from the upper floors could reach the ground egress was cut off and they perished. It was all over almost before the frantic mothers who gathered realized that their children were lost. Because of the mild weather there was less fire than usual in the furnace, and it is certain that the fire did not start there. There were no electric wires by which the building could have been fired. Of the bodies in the temporary morgue, ninety-three have been identified. Miss Katherine Weiler was the only one of the nine teachers to lose her life. She remained with her charges to the last. When the fire alarm sounded she marched her pupils into the hall, and when they became panic stricken she tried to quiet them. She checked the panic for a few moments, but finally was borne to the floor. Her body was taken out of the ruins with the arms wound, as if in protection, around the two youngest children in her class. Disaster's Supreme Horror. The supreme horror of the disaster was that the fathers and mothers of many of the little victims stood before the doors and saw the flames creep up and blacken the faces of the screaming children. The rear doorway was massed to the top with white faces. Little hands stretched out in supplication, the doomed ones begging to be saved. Mothers fainted where they stood. Others tried to get to their dying children. Volunteer firemen and policemen held them back. Then the fire crept up through the mass and 1 4-1, ?

This is one of the tragedies o? the school fire: One of the faces in the wall of those that blocked up the rear door of the burning school was that of Jennie Phillis, aged fifteen. Mrs. John Phillis, who lives a few doors from the building, was one of the first to get to the fire. She picked out her daughter'.? face among the scores of those she saw. Volunteers had formed a cordon about the door, but the agonized mother broke through and ruslied into the passage way. bOh, Jennie, please come out!r' begged the mother/ 44f can't, ma; oh, help me if you can!" cried the child. The mother seized both of her daughter's hands and pulled with all her strength, but she could not drag Jennie out from the crush. She turned to men who were in the passage way and begged them to help her. One man pulled with the mother at Jennie's arms, but they could not move her. . "It's no use, ma," said the girl. "I've got to die." At that Mrs. Phillis became re-s j 1 + QVi/v Slgliea LU I1BI uaugiuct o mic. held the girl's hands, and the two talked for some minutes together. The fire crept, up through the mass of heads. A tongue of it blew out over Jennie's head. It Degan to scorch her hair. Then the mother thrust her bare hand into the flame. She stroked her daughter's hair and kept the fire away as long as she could. "Oh, thank you, ma," breathed the dying girl. It was the last she said. They dragged the mother from out the smoke and flame. It was found that her hand with which she had stroked the fire from her daughter's head was burned to the bone. Falling glass had cut an artery in her wrist. She was cared for by the doctors at t.he scene. Mrs. Clark Sprung was the first mother to reach the school after the alarm. Her son, Alvon Sprung, seven years old, was a pupil in the second grade, The woman struggled to enter the building, but was stopped by the jam in the doorway. She was shrieking in despair when she saw her son's face at a window on the second floor. She shouted to the boy to wait there, and running a block to her home, she returned in a few minutes with a ladder. She went up to the window and smashed through it with her hand. She caught her son by the hair and attempted to lift him out. The floor was giving'way under his feet, and he had just strength to hold himself erect. Suddenly flames shot up through the floor and enveloped the boy. Mrs. Sprung had dragged him almost halfway across the window ledge when the flames burned his hair in her hands and he dropped back of his weight to death. The woman fainted and fell from the ladder. Two men broke the force of her fall, but she was taken to her home in a serious condition. The floors fell in rapid succession, and it was' only half an hour after the first alarm when the roof crashed down. The wooden beams in the floors and roof were consumed quickly, and the wreckage let down in heaps on the bodies of the victims. The water thrown on the fire was turned into steam, and this only served to carry quick death to any survivor of the collapse of the whole interior of the structure. At 12.30, three hours after the fire started, the first of the bodies were taken out. At 2.30 o'clock 140 bodies had been recovered. These were taken in automobiles, carriages, wagons and buggies to one of the buildings of the Bodies were found piled five deep in the basement below the front and rear doors. The majority of these children had been trampled to death, but so intense was the heat that-nearly all the bodies were burned. One mother recognized the body of a son by shoes, which were bought for the little fellow before he went to school. The boy's arms and head were burned off. More than half of the faces were disfigured beyond recognition and identification was made by clothing. The body of a girl was identified by the remnaut of a pinafore she received that day as a birthday gift. She was Lillian Bostock, six years old. In the centre of the basement many bodies were found burned almost to cinders. These victims had gone down in the collapse of the stairs and they were caught in the full flare of the flames. It is feared many of the bodies nev er will be Identified, and tne nremen searching the ruins say that undoubtedly some of the children wero burned to ashes. BREWERY SHARES FALL. Licensing Bill Causes Loss of $250,000,000 in London. London.?Seldom has the promise of legislation worked such havoc with the trade as has the licensing bill with the brewing interests. Stocks in all the breweries, including the foremost companies, went down to amazingly low rates, until they they could not be sold at any price. The. shrinkage in the nominal value of brewing properties is estimated at about $250,000,000. The stocks in the leading companies have fallen as much as fifty per cent., some more than that, in two days. Sir Thomas Whittaker, in a statement supporting the bill, points out that the sales of liquor annually in England and Wales have decreased $75,000,000 in a decade.

C.?Almost 100 j suffragists besieged the Capitol in search of the ballot. They argued before the House Committee on Judiciary, and then descended on the Senate Committee on Woman Suffrage. For three hours they talked. Finally they were shooed from the Marble Room of the Senate by the Sergeant-at-Arms, for it was visibly impossible for the Senate to deal in profoundities while the'chatter from across the hall made its way through the swing doors. As a result of the visit the women relieved themselves of much argument as to why they should be permitted to vote. They also found much to criticise in the furnishings of the Marble Room. Likewise they went away with well-conceived ideas of certain members of Congress. The estimates of public men, which are practically unanimous, were polled. They follow: Senator Clay?"Perfectly dear." Senator Johnston ? "Sweet old thing." Senator Beveridge?44 Nasty, conceited young upstart." Senator Burkett?"Rude Westerner." Senator Wetmore?"Brute." Senator Owen?"Dear old darling." Kepresentauve jenKins? just a dear." There were other expressions, but these cover the principal actors in the day's proceedings. Incidentally, it might be said that Senators Beveridge, Burkett and Wetmore, who are members of the Committee on Woman Suffrage, were not present to face the music. Senator Owen was emphatically present, for he made one of his impassioned speeches and filled the atmosphere with eloquence for the women at the hearing in the House committee room. It was an imposing crowd that took possession of the House and Senate. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, of New York, the International president of the Suffragists' Association, and the Rev. Anna Howard Shaw,^ of Philadelphia, president of the American Suffragists, led the procession. When they reached the Marble Room they found Senator Clay awaiting them. He wore Senatorial habilaments and a strained smile. "Ladies," he said, and bowed low as they streamed into the room. Mrs. Catt denounced the lack of attenriance of members of the com rnittee. ) "Never since we have been coming here/' she said, "have there been more than two or three Senators present to hear us." Her indignation was contagious. Senator Clay was saved by the timely arrival of Senator Johnston, who ambled in with the air of a martyr ; going to the stake. "What we women are asking for," said Mrs. Catt, "is every bit as constitutional as the enfranchisement of the negro. You don't want us to go to the negro and beg'.him to give us a voice in this free Government, do you? Then give us some hope of Congressional action looking toward a constitutional amendment." Senator Clay looked impressed wun j the solemnity of the declaration. Under the table he held tightly to the coattails of Johnston, who showed signs of bolting. Clay balked his attempt at flight. When the Senate wafcabout to con- j vene, Senator Clay soafeht to usher the suffragists out in true Southern style. He failed. Then Sergeant-atArms Ransdell was called. He did his best to be tactful, but his name really should be added to the poll list, for every one of the visitors said he was "perfectly horrid."

Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, of Ohio. Among the speakers were Miss Emma J Gillette, of Washington; Mrs. Catt, 1 Mrs. Richard W. Fitzgerald, of Massachusetts; Senator Owen, Miss Rose j Sullivan, of Utah; Mrs. Mary E. I Craigie, of New York; Mrs. Ida Por- ? ter Boyer, of Pennsylvania, and Miss ] Gordon, of Louisiana. ? Mrs. Upton introduced the suffragists with the remark that she was \ not afraid of the Judiciary Committee or anybody else. She was provided with a bell which she rang when she I thought the speakers had consumed < enough time. The first time it rang 3 one or two of tbe women looked around in dismay. Once or twice the i bell had to be rung with great insistence before the entnused orator ] would yield to another. j Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt opened j the arguments by saying that Great Britain had done more for }ts women in the suffrage line than has the 1 United States; that South Africa and Canada had given the right of munic- \ ipal suffrage to their women, while Norway and Denmark and the other j Scandinavian countries had given ^ every suffrage right to their women. ( The next speaker was Senator Robert Owen, of Oklahoma, who made a strong speech for woman suffrage. j "Every good principle I have ] learned," he said, "everything of ( good morals and good manners I rei ceived from a woman. And I have observed in history that just as high as is the position given to women in ? a nation just so surely will that na- ( tion rise to distinction and fame. ( "I give my adherence to this cause with enthusiasm and with religious zeal.< I know when I serve the women < I serve God. I know it is a just cause i because I have studied it, and I have t studied it deeply. As the women are, j so is the nation. J "When there are 6,000,000 women j earning their living, outside of do- , mestic service, with what faco, gentle- t men of the committee, do you refuse b this prayer of the women?

I answer this by pointing out to you that there are so many more good women than bad in the world. The statistics 1 prove this. The records of our peni- ] tcntiaries prove it. And I love the ] women's cause for the enemies it has , made. Its enemies are the keepers of saloons and brothels. The saloon element always fights woman suf- ( frage. It was the saloon element ' that prevented the women being given the suffrage by the Oklahoma constitutional convention." Representative Alexander, of New York, interrupted to say that a great objection to woman suffrage would be that the immigrant women coming i into the United States would be made voters. "TViq mmicrnnt' nwn " rf?nllRtI Mr. Owen, "are educated in the saloon. Their women would neutralize this saloon vote and this would benefit the State. Besides, they are the women who will bear our future citizens. Shall we bring up the mothers of our citizens in the eternal belief that they are a thing apart from our Government and have no part in it?" , Senator Owen at the conclusion ol, his address was given an ovation by the women present. 1 At the conclusion of the hearing J Mrs. Upton asked the Judiciary Com- < mittee if it could not make a favor- ( able report on the Joint resolution, < to make an unfavorable one so that the matter might be debated on the ^ floor of the House.
