STAMPEDE AT THEATRE FIRE TAKES 76 LIVES rCOWTINTItD WHOM FA4HB <»«■> darkened theater. The dread cry of “fire” was heard and pandemonium started. The balcony was packed with children because of the cheeper admission. As the mad rush for the exits started, -they piled into the two narrow stairways which make two turns or “elbows.” On the left-hand stairway, the stampeding children were caught in a hopeless tangle on o!ie of the turns. Those in front went down and the press from behind sent, others piling on top of them until passage became a mass of struggling humanity, five and six deep. Those on the bottom had no chance for life. A medical report showed GO of .hem died from suffocation, all air cut off by the solid mass of bodies piled high above them. Those on the ground floor and the children who escaped by the rightand stariway reached the street in safety. But hardly a one emerged alive from that terrible jam on the other sitairs. o CHICAGO GRAIN CLOSE Wheat—May. $1.38 1-2; July. $1.29 7-8. Corn — May. 80 7-8e; July. 84 l-4c.
