Once the crowd began- to fight Its way to the doors no power on earth' could have saved all ' the lives, but had the men not lost control of themselves, the loss of life would have been very small." The fire was not brought under control until early ' tltis .morning- .after" , assistance had arrived from Reading, and Pottstown. Physicians and . nurses were also sent to Boyertown from Reading and aided ma terially tn alleviating the sufferings of tho injured, who had' leaped from the win dows In their mad rush to escape from the flames. Hazardous Work of Relief. Early today about sixty members of the state constabulary, which is stationed in this district, came from Reading on a special train. The work- of removing the bodies from the debris will be unusually tedious and hazardous. When the rush was at its height the floor gave way, precipitating' many persons to the base ment, and the bodies of these will be buried beneath the charred timbers and tons of brick from the ruined walls. In addition to the opera house and Farmers' National bank, Erhana' hardware house and the dwellings of Oeorgs Rahn, Harry Penny packer and Alfred Zashard were burned. The monetary loss will amount to $75,000. Details of the Explosion. The moving picture machine was oper- ' ated by H. W. Fisher of Carlisle, Pa., who used calcium lights. While he was oper- , ating the machine there was a flash and a loud report and the people altting in the rear of the opera house near the machine arose in fright and rushed toward the stage. Their action caused a panic In the audi ence and many others, thinking the build ing was on fire, rushed toward the stage. The young people who were taking part in the performance motioned them to keep back and resume their seats, but the fright ened spectators attempted to climb on to the stage. One of the young people on the stage, more excited than the others, made a motion as If to- repel them and In his excitement tie overturned the coal ol amps that were used as footlights. They fell with a crash Into the auditorium and exploded. In an Instant . the stage floor was ablaze and tho frightened people surged toward the rear again. The youth ful actors fled from the stage- and man aged to escape, clad In their stage gar ments. Fire tn Front and Rear. The crowd In the front of the auditorium fled to the rear and they were met by a crowd from the rear, frantic to escape from the peril of the burning picture machine in the rear. The mob became panic stricken and strong men beat down women and children in their efforts to get out of the building. Frank Callen, a. blacksmith, seized his 4-year-old child and made Jils way to a window. When he attempted to return to get his wife she was In a strug gling mass of humanity and It was im possible for him to reach her. The flames spread rapidly and many of the audience were caught and overcome before they could reach the fire escapes. The frenzied people fought with each other to' reach the front entrance, the principal means of ex(f from the building, and a struggling mass of humanity was quickly piled around the doors that led to the street. Smoke overtook them and they were burned to death almost In sight of escape in the seething furnace that sur rounded them. f A Store Full ol Bargains Every department in this store has special bargains to offer to wide awake buyers on Wednesday and Thursday.

A number of people who were attracted by the cries of fire rushed from the street to the entrance to the opera house and up the stairs to the second floor. They auc ceeded In, rescuing some, but were forced to abandon the others to their fate, as the quickly advancing flames drove them from the building. The special Trains from Reading brought members of t.ie state constabulary, sur- hospital stores and first aid to the Injured appliances. The slate constabulary imme diately took charge and roped off the scene of horror. Early this morning a gasoline tank exploded and blew down the standing wall, and but' for the precaution of the guards, many others would have been killed. . The building which was destroyed was a large brick structure, three stories high and with a frontage of 125 feet on Philadel phia avenue. The first floor was 6ccupled by the Farmers' National bank and a hard ware store. The second and third floors were occupied -by the opera hoifcto and a lodge room. The building also extended on Washington street for a distance of 150 feet. In the rear of the bank were four large dwelling houses, which were part of the building. These were burned.

MORE GOLD WILL GO OUT Ralanre ' of Trad Asainst Germany Will tad I,ajra Bams o Vn1te4 Matca goararesls Limited Silver folaace. BERLIN, kJan. 14. In the course of 'an Interpellation In the' Reichstag today In re ference tto' the ' high rate of discount charged by the. Imperial bank. Count von Kanltlse, conservative, suggessted the President Roosevelt's "threats against the trusts" wss responsible for the critical financial situation existing today through out the entire world. ' ' Count Von Kanltf pdfnted out the unfa vorable commercial balance of European nations, particularly Germany, towards the United States. Ha took Issue 'with Ameri can statistics, concerning foreign trade, de-clarlng-that in 19" Sermany had Imported American goods to the value of 1,2?6.000.nN) marks and exported to the- United States only KW.OOn.noo marks -worth. This left a balance of 0o,ooo,oo marks in favor of the United States,- bnt thet American statistics declared that thh balance amounted to only 331.000,000 marks. This balance had not been recouped by shipping profits and dividends on American stocks In German hands. These threats, the. count said, constituted the real rause of the present financial con dition. He added that the opponents of the trusts must recognise that interference with the financial activity of the United States, which is based on tho operations of the trusts, means Interference with the en tire economical situation in America. "Am erica's error has ' been that she has allowed to go so long with Interference," said tho speaker. Count Von Kan Its reviewed what he called "the frenzied finance" of America of the past few months and drew attention of his hearers to the recent fight for gold In Europe. He said that the amount of gold leaving Europe could not be estimated exactly, but that In the month of No vember alone 158.600.000 marks (about 39.500,000) had left Germany for the United States. Continuing he declared that the assistance given by the American Treasury department had very , little effect In Im proving conditions. In addition to these unfavorable balances another factor In the situation was the gi gantic sum of i 30,000,000 marks insurance which Germany, had loyally paid in con nection with the San Francisco disaster, although the German companies were not legally bound to do so. . Snararests Silver Coinage. Continuing, the speaker expressed the opinion that the United States will need much more money and that this will come from Europe. He then asked what means would be adopted to prevent this outflow, which: even a high bank rate of discount could not keep back. ' He suggested a mod erate return to bimetallism by Issuing in Germany silver coinage to the amount of 25 marks per capita, which, he said, would Improve the situation. He upheld the method of the Bank of France, which Issues silver coinage to the vatue of 40 rnarks per capita of population,' as a model in this di rection, "declaring that 'this system per mitted Franco to have such an enormous gold reserve. The shortage of money, ac cording to Count voA Kanlti, made' tho restoration of ordinary financial conditions questionable, particularly 1 there are 'in dications that a "pVrftifl- of industrial ad versity is beglnnrng. ''At (he beginning of December there-lvere In Berlin alone 43,000 skilled workmen without employment, and since' that time the figures have been In creased greatly. Referring to the prospects of floating the new loan. Count von Kanits said these were most unfavorable. He was almost certain that Interest at the-rate of 4 per cent would be necessary, and that this would affect the other, state obligations. Minister of Interior Replies. Industrial shares had lost fully one-quarter of their value. Dr. Bethold Bethman Hollewlg, minister of- the Interior, replied to Count von Kanltz concerning Germany's solid financial condition, but he did not touch on the question of Germany's spe cial financial relations with the United States. The number of prosperous Indus trial and commercial undertakings was 'greater in proportion than the increase In population. Furthermore the growing per plexities tn the . exchange of commodities had induced an extraordinary demand for capital and currency, and this had been satisfied only with an unusual Increase in the rates of Interest on loans. The situa tion on the international money markets had Influenced during the past few months the relations of Genrian debtors and credi tors. The reduction yesterday of the Im perial bank's rate of discount by 1 per cent, however, indicated that with the be ginning of this year1 the strain on the bank had materially diminished. The financial pressure on London, Vienna and Paris also had decreased, the minister of the Interior continued, evidenced by the rates of discounts at these capitals. All things considered, the minister said, the monetary and Industrial situation In Ger many was healthy. ' Dr. Bethman-HoUewig announced In con clusion the intention. of the government to bring In a measure during the present session of the Reichstag modifying to a certain extent the present currency law, so that' with the Increase of . population there could be an increased coinage of silver.

Judge J. W.

Dr. C. U Carlisle) has for a number of years conducted dontal par lors tn Sioux Falls. He has on several oc casions besn before the courts On the charge of practicing dentistry without a license. He has been fined, but that seemed to have no effect. At the recent term of circuit court Dr. Carlisle was tried and found guilty of practicing without a license. Judge Jones, In the decision which he has Just renderei, orders that Dr. Carlisle be required to pay a fine of $100, and that he be confined In the Minnehaha county Jail for a period of twenty days. The Jail por tion of the sentence is conditional. Should Dr. Carlisle refrain from practicing den tistry In the state of South Dakota for -a period of six months the Jail part of the sentence Is not In force. Release for Mrs. O'Grady. SIOUX FALLS, 8. D.. Jan. H.-(Speclal.) Mrs. Julia Ann O'Orady, who last fall was arrested on the charge of having murdered her aged husband, John OtJrady, at the O'Orady home north of 8louz Falls, will not be tried on the charge of murder, as had boon generally expected. State's Attorney Orr appeared before Judge Jones of tho state circuit court and moved that the charge against Mrs. O'Orady be dismissed. It appears that dllllgcnt search has failed to bring forth anything In the shape of evidence upon which a conviction could be based, and under these circumstances the state's attorney asked that the case be -dismissed, and Judgo Jones so ordered. Mrs. O'Orady - was under a heavy, bond for her appearance tn the state circuit court, and this now will be released. Park Train Returns to Meade. STURGIS, 8. V., Jan. 14. (Special Tele gram.)
