In an instant the draperies and flimsy stage settings had burst iuto fiames. The actors and actresses ran wildly about the stage, as the audience fought and jammed its way to the front doors.

Women and children were piling out of the doors, but the flames apparent ly gained rapidly, and it was a considerable time before a large number of tne people could leave the building. Meanwhile special calls and a generel alarm had summoned an extraordinBry number of fire engines. "FIRST FIFTY TAKEN OCT Of Them Thirty Were Dead, and Nearly ah -ronnz- Peooie. TtochM of the c.ty fire department, ' Marshal Musham, who. had called a re trial -board to hear the cases of, six deli"auent firemen, left the board rooxa hasüly at the first call and took .v t t personal charge at the fire.

Within fifteen minutes after the fire broke out ully fifty physicians were on the scene, and trained nurses seemed to spring from the ground, so rapidly did they appear. Bishop Muldoon, with a prayer uron his lips, with hi3 coat off. worked among the Injured and dying Inside of the theater. He was passing the theater when the panic started and rushed in to lend a helping hand. He climbed into the gallery and ther-j directed tbe work of rescue. Firemen and policemen rushed upon him to get him out, but lie remained among the suffering while the smoke and flames came closer to him. At the top of his voice he begged the people to put their trust in God ami to calm themselves. .

Old policemen said they had never witnessed anything to equal the horror of the disaster. Bodies were found sitting straight up In the seats where persons had fainted from tright and then suffocated by smoke and gases. In another part of the balcony where the blaze had been blown 1 upward and back one little girl ras ' found dead. Her hair had been burr.ed j off and her face badly scorched by the fiames. In her lap lay a fur muff unharmed by the flames which had swep'. over and. around the upper part i of Ik: bedy.

The terrible crush prevented any from descending. While the heartrending appeals for help rose high above the din Inside the theater, and while the awful fight for mastery was going on on tbe small Iron platform, two huge iron doors,' which up to that time had held the flames inside, burst open and a wave of fire swept upon the mass of numanlty. With shrieks, mingled with curses and pleadings, the twenty or more were swept from- the platform. One T,cz:an"ncarest the outside fell headier to the pavement, ajihting upon

ETEEY NOOK WAS CROWDED With Humanity in Holiday Dress When Death Loosed Hl Race. Allured to its doom'by the gorgeous deception that cost the owners of the theater $2,000,000 io erect, humanity In holiday mood crowded every nook ALLEY FROM FIFTH STORY ''' and corner from orchestra pit to gallery before 2 p. m. At C0 p. m." the kindling spark had set the awful fire and at 4 the ashes of the dead were scattered tliroujrh the awful ruin. At the hour when the matinee crowd should have poured merrily fron, the house scores who had escaped burning in the fiery prison lay writhing where they fell on the streets or had been earried, bruised, broken and dying, to the Northwestern University bui'ding and stores in the vicinity of Randolph and Dearborn streets. The anguish of those who perished, caught in the burst of flame that shot from the stage to the balcony, In the midst of the performance of "Mr. Blue Beard," was lost to the 10,000 people who witnessed the horrors in the streets. While the panic of those who fought at the main entrance of the theater was of itself a terrible thin, the women and children who leaned from windows anl fire escapes, with their bodies enveloped in flame, the men who ran madly through the streets shrieking in their agony, and the spectacle of thrilling rescues by firemen and volunteers caused another panic among the crowds In the streets which threatened to add to the horror of the tragedy. Above the crackling of the flames could be heard the agonized shrieks of dying men, the despairing signal of some unfortunate for succor. Then, tearing, struggling at the blackened mass to penetrate it and effect a rescue, they labored, cursing and crying. Some of the still living victims were rescued and taken out in time to be saved. Others died before they could be lifted from the heap of dead; others, while they were being carried down the staircases. IISCAPE OF ACTOU EDDIE FOT Tells How the Fire . Started and the Asesto Curtain Failed. "Eddie" Foy said after his escape: "The fire began in the middle of the second act. It was when the moonlight scene was cn. An electric wire broke and was grounded, and from this tbe fiames were started in the rear of the stage. The stage is unusually wideband there was so great a draft the flames spread rapidly. They soon had attacked all the scenery In the rear .of the stage. I never saw flames spread so rapidly. When the fire first began T went to the footlights, and to prevent alarming the audience I said there was a slight blaze and that it would be better to go out quietly. "Then I stepped back and ordered the asbestos curtain down. This, when half way down, refused to go farther and thus an additional draft was created. This swept the flames out into the auditorium and I knew the theater was doomed. I hurried back on the stage and aided in getting the women members of the company Into the alley. Some of them were in the dresshag room and were almost overcome before they could get to the stage and to the. doors. When I saw all were out I hurried to the hotel. There was no chance to change my costume." Chicago Tribune Editor Dead. Indianapolis, Jan. 4. John W. Strong, commercial editor of the Chicago Tribune, died on a Monon train while en route from Chicago to Indianapolis to visit his brother.

Considerable Tangle in the Death Rolls Identification of Victims Goes . on Stcdily Funereal Days. Chicago, Jan. 2. Fitiless Investigation of the Iroquois fire horror divides attention with the burial of the dead. Archibald Lernard, chief electrician of the Iroquois theater, was taken into custody by the police. After being closely questioned for two hours Bernard was formally charged with "manslaughter." Next Chief of Police O'Neill sent detectives to summon Manager Will J. Davis, of the Iroquois theater, to police headquarters. Darin and Power Appear. Davis promptly appeared at the office of the chief, accompanied by his business partner, Harry Powers. The two managers talked for some time with Chief O'Neill, who. finally dismissed them, saying that he himself would be responsible for their appearance whenever they may be wanted. 4T want to question him," Chief O'Neill said, when asked the reason for the summons. "I am cot arresting him. If I thought that Managers Will J. Davis or Harry L. Powers would leave Chicago I would lock them up immediately. But they will remain. Both are citizens of Chicago, men of good reputation and men with business Interests. Watching the Doable Octette. 'I am only summoning Mr. Davis now to ask him about the fire in a general way, and to get his guarantee that the members of the 'Moonlight double octette' will not leave Chicago before the inquest. Otherwise it may be necessary to take the entire company into custody." Although members of the "Blue Beard" company who had been questioned by the police were allowed to return to hotels detectives were sent also. The detectives were ordered to make headquarters at the hotels and watch the members of the company to see that none left Thirty Teachers Dead or Missing. Superintendent cf Schools Cooley anrounces that the Iroquois theater üre killed twenty-four teac-ers in the Chicago public schools, and six teachers are slUl reported missing, making a total of thirty. CONFUSION IN DEATH LISTS fctve Persons Have Been Put Into Them by HI eary Recorders. The removal of bodies from the public morgues to private undertaking establishments developed a fresh element of uncertainty In computing to tals of dead and missing. The count of actual corpses most generally agreed upon .was 582, including 450 identified and, 132 unidentified. The City Press association had the names of 509 identified dead. A re-exauiina-tion of the list showed that numbers were included incoriectly. Instead of being of the dead the names f some were of those wjo had identified bodies. Coroner Traeger issued an arrcal to the public to notify him of all fire deaths that may have escaped the rec ords. "It has come to mv notice " enUl Coroner Traeger, "that bodies of some persons were removed from the tem porary hospitals and relief stations directly after tne fire. In the hurry and confusion! persons who could Identify reina.ns were allowed to take them to their homes without question. I understand that this occurred in a few instances. I have also learned that some of the injured were taken to Drivate resi dences and hospitals without the making of any record, and it is reported to me that some have since died. I ask that any citizen knowing of anv such occurrence report the matter to my of fice at once." The crowds of searchers for rela tives and friends continued at the morgues. While the number of per sons pressing for tidings or Identification showed material diminution the anxiety and weariness wa3 intensified. The constant presence of the black wagons of undertakers were conspicuous additions to the many scattered neighborhoods where the morgues are located. A mournful variation was the occasional appearance of bands playing dirge, as funerals slowly passed towards churches, railway stations and cemeteries. 6EAKCUERS WHO CANNOT FIND lost Ones Who Will, Perhaps, Never Be Seen by Tbelr Friends. Many men appeared at the door of Rolston's and Jordan's morgues who had been on their feet for forty-eight hours constantly searching for those they had lost. The greater number of dead are in these two places, and men who had viewed the ghastly rows of corpses before and had gone on unavailing searches to every other morgue, and undertaking room in the city to which the dead from the 'theater had been taken came back once more to Rolston's and Jordan's almost in despair, but hoping against hope that they might have verlooked their dead im the gTeat number that had crowded the tables and floors. In some cases they were successful, In many others they were not Practically all of the lodies which admit of careful Identification have been carried away, and of those which remain the majority are in such a condition that only the most minute and careful inspection will be able to reveal their Identity to those who knew them best, One of the saddest and happiest cases was that of Herbert and Agnes Lange, of 1C32 Barry avenue. Poth children had attended the performance, and after many tours cf tireless s2archinj thebrojien-hrarted

father finely found the Caugl ter In

an undertaking establishment. Lange, filmest exhausted through his continuous trips from morgue to morgue and from hospital to hospital, from police stations to the coroner's office and then back through the wearisome round again and again, came in utter despair to the olnce of Chief of Police O'Neill and begged two detectives to assist him. He also plended with news paper men. Lange eaiu these were nis only children end the detectives and aewspaper men promised him every assistance. Finally the body of a girl was found and the broken-heart ed father smiled through his tears as he gathered up the little form and carried it to his carriage. "I have one of them at last," he said, "and this will be a great comfort to her mother." The absolute fall irre of Lange to identify any one of the bodies as that of his son aroused some hope that the loy might still be alive and cared for In some hospital: But Lang's sorrow was turned to joy when he reached home. As he drove up to the door with the Ixxly which he had brought from the morgue as that of his daughter he was greeted by hU wife, who told him that their two children had returned home in the evening in safety. They had become dazed apparently and had been wan dering around the city without know ing where they were. Lang at once returned to the morgue with the body of the little girl which he thought to be that of his own child. CAt'SE OF THE CATASTROPHE Man VTho Saw What Did It Tells the Police Hun It Occurred. The police vigorously pushed their inquiry Into the causes of the fire and made several other arresis oi .tage hands, among them William McMullen, the operator of the light which, started the fire, and Wilson Kerr, a flyman at the theater. McMullen's story was as follows: "I was standing on the iron bridge at the right side of the stage from which the 'spotlight' Is operated. The lamp seemed In good condition, but in the middle of .the second act, just as I changed from a.wite light to a blue one, the arc between the carlwns spluttered and jumped. A spark struck the frayed edge on the Inside of the border of the curtain drapery. A flame which I should say was about twelve inches long shot up. I abandoned the lamp and clapped my han l upon the flames, but they spread 1n spite of me. "I cnll Vi to have the fire curtain lowered, nnd yelled to the house fireman to help me. He came with a patent tire extinguisher which had no effect on the fiames. Finally I jumped from' the bridge to the stage. A little child in one cf the front boxes had already been badly burned. I seized her and carried her out and then returned to the theater. Here I worked pulling people out of the choked exits until it was useless to stay any longer.

SHUTS UP THE PLAY HOUSES Nineteen of Them Foand Violating Ordin ances as to Safety. Mayor Carter.IL Harrison has taken fort to nrrv11 s fnr ns nossihle against a repetition of Wednesday horror. As a result of an investigation made at his orders, and lasting but a few hours, nineteen theaters and museums were ordered closed, some of them being among the leading and most popular play houses of the city. The action of the mayor was based on one single violation of the ordinance which is intended to protect the patrons of theaters from just such an occurence as that which cost so many Ufes on Wednesday. This was that every one of those places had omitted to supply abestes curtain. The theaters ordered closed. (Ccstlnued ca Fc3 3, Colonn 1) .'
