CIIUTS KIKE (f'untliiiMMl from I'ittt** One) With an audible swishing sound it raced toward the center poles and 50 feet below 10 000 men and women momentarily went insane, stomping, kicking and climbing over one another. and, tragically, hundreds of small children, occupying, as children will at a circus, the very front seats. It was all over in 15 minutes that rapidly did the flames spread over th'e acres of canvas and dump their ashy remnants down to set the tiers of seats on fire. Then performers and audience alike rushed into the flamv-encircled arena to carry out the bodies of the dead, the dying, and the injured. Almost all of the dead were believed to have died in the panic, of suffocation, of shock induced by acute fright, and of being knocked down and stomped under the feet of the thousands stampeding for the exits Though the fire swept over the top of the tent with speed of an eye blink, there vas enough time for all 10.000 to have escaped unharmed if they had responded to the efforts of the circus people to calm them. The greatest tragedy was centered in the bodies of 80 children laid out on army cot's in the local armory of the Connecticut National Guard on some of the cots, two little bodies - all covered with olive drab blankets from which little feet, some of them bare, some in the well .scuffed shoes of active little boys and party shoes of good little girls, protruded. Parents, fathers and mothers moved along the rows of cots. A blanket would be pulled back, revealing a white, inanimate face, a mother's lips would sag and her facial muscles would tighten and with a scream, perhaps, but more often, with a dry soli that barely was audible, she would turn away and a coroner's assistant would ask her the name and address, write it on a green card and attach the card to the blanket with a wire. When authorities closed the armory at 1 a. m„ 75 of the 135 remained unidentified. The score or so of bodies of children still not identified Were believed to have dead parents nearby. From shortly after the disaster at 2:52 P. M, until the doors were closed, then' had been an unending procession of sorrowing men and women up and down the aisle fringed by cots and it resumed when the armory reopened at 8 a. m. KEAI.

STUC KEY Kl SIGNS William A. Stuckey, one of the two Democratic members of the Indiana Public Service commission for the last five years, resigned today eff- ctive Saturday, when his commiss on would expire. Stuckey, in a letter to Governor Schricker which he rei -ased to newspipers cited as reasons for his resign ition: Personal differences with Chairn an George N. Beomer of South Bend, the other Democrat on the three-member commission; the burd -n which he said had been placed 0 1 his health, and what he termed " ncraachment" by by various fede al agencies and PSo jurisdiction. In regard to the latter reason, S uckey said he had "fought the batB ■ of states’ rights in Indiana against what is unquestionably, in n any instances, illegal interference with the functioning of the Public S rvice Commission of Indiana by tiie Federal Power commission especially.” "Many of the acts within the s vernl state 1 of this bureau (FPC) si I view them, are to set the stage u timately for government ownership and control of all public utility's. That would be the end of private initiative in this field of business activity," Stucky added. FIREMEN ( ALLHI) City Flremewi were called out 1 hursday afternoon to extinguish a dump fire at the north end of Vine street. No damage was reported.
