THAT EVER OCCURRED IIN THIS COUNTRY.
BURNING Of AN OPERA HOUSE IN CHICAGO
An Appalling Loss of Life Through Burning. Smoth
ering and Being Trampled to Death Chicago in
Mourning Over the Awful Catastrophe.
CHICAGO—Women anil little chll
ilrci) fought in vain for life at a Are
In the Iroquois theater, the newest,
largest and safest theater In Chicago,
j Wednesday afternoon, December 30.
i The theater was crowded by a mat
inee audience, mostly of women and
children. In the midst of the perform
I ance. while the stage was alight with
\ beauty and colur, the first alarm of
fire was given, anil the next instant
a great wave of flame shot out over
the theater. The resulting scenes
were indescribable. Hundreds were
trampled to death in the mad rush to
escape from that blazing furnace.
| Many bodies were scorched and black
| ened by the flames after the life had
j already been trampled out. Several
people were burned to death, others
. were suffocated by gas thrown into
' the auditorium by the explosion of
a gas lank, but by far the larger ma
jority perished in the wild stampede
| for safety.
I lie ure nror.e out aunns
anil art of “Mr. Blue Beard.” which
was the first dramatic production pro
duced in the theater after its opening.
The theatrical company, which was
large, escaped, nearly all of them,
however. l>eing compelled to flee into
■ the snowy streets with no clothing
hut stage costumes. A few members
of the company sustained injuries, but
none were severely hurt.
Origin of the Fire.
The accounts of the origin of the
fire are conflicting and none of them
certain, but the best reason given is
that an electric wire near the lower
part of a piece of drop scenery sud
denly broke and was grounded. The
tiro spread rapidly toward the front
of the stage, causing the members of
; the chorus, who were then engaged
j in the performance, to flee to the
wings with screams of terror.
The fire in itself up to this time
was not serious and possibly could
have been checked had not the as
bestos curtain failed to work. As soon
as the fire was discovered, Eddie Foy.
the chief comedian of the company,
shouted to lower the curtain and this
was immediately done, it descended
about half way and then stuck. The
fire thus was given practically a flue
through which a strong draft was set
ting, aided by the doors which had
been thrown open in the front of the
theater. With a roar the flames shot
through the opening over the heads ol
the people and clear up to those in
the first, balcony, caught them and
burned them to death where they sat
Modes of Exit.
The theater is modeled after thi?
Cpera Comique in Paris and from the
rear of each balcony there are three
doors leading out to the front of the
theater. Two of these doorways are
at the end of the balcony and one be
ing in the center. The audience in
its rush seems to have for the greater
part chose to flee to the left entrance
and to attempt to make Its way down
the eastern stairway leading into the
lobby of the theater. Outside of the
people burned and suffocated by gas.
it was In these two doorways on the
first and second balconies that the
greatest loss of life occurred. When
the firemen entered the building the
dead were found stretched in a pile
reaching from the head of the stair
way at least eight feet from the door
back to a point about five feet in the
rear of the door.
This mass of dead bodies in the cen
ter of the doorway reached to within
two feet of the top of the passageway.
All of the corpses at this point were
women and children. The fight for
life, which must have taken place at
these two points, is something that is
simply beyond human power to ade
quately describe. Only a faint idea
of its horror could he derived from
the aspect of the bodies as they lay.
Horrible Scenes.
Scenes of unparalleled horror mel
(he eyes of firemen, policemen and res
cuers when they were able to enter tin
ill-f&ted theatre.
The dead lay in tangled heaps. fiv<
and six feet high. Here and there
were found masses of crushed, flesli
and bone which were once m -n am
women, but were trampled out of al
semblance of human shape.
At the doorways of the first and see
ond balconies the greatest loss of life
occurred. Here bodies were found in a
! pile which reached from the* head ol
j the stairway, five feet from the door
\ to a point as far in the rear of the
exit. In the? center of the doorwaj
corpses were piled until the- portal wa>
choked to within two feet of the top
On top of this grewsome pyramid
were found women who had beer
stricken by death while crawling ovoi
the bodies of those who had beer
caught and crushed to de-ath. in then
hands they held bits of garments noi
the-ir own. Some? were almost nude.
Bodies were Piled in Layers.
1 As the police removed layer after
| layer of dead in these doorways, the
sight became so sickening that po
licemen and firemen, hardened as
they are .to horrible scenes, turned
away in horror. The bodies Were in
such an inextricable mass, and so
tightly were they jammed between the
sides of the door and the walls that it
was impossible to lift them one by
one and carry them out. The only
l>ossil>le thing to do was to seize a
leg in- arm or a piece of clothing and
pull with main strength, dragging
several -ent wined bodies away to
gether.
As the bodies were dragged out
of the water soaked, blackened mass
of corpses, more horrifying sights
were disclosed.
There were women whose clothing
was torn completely from the bodies
above the waist, whose breasts had
been trampled into a pulp and whose
faces had been marked beyond iden
tification.
In tl... ft.,.
! ..... ....
number of dead in any one spot, but
| bodies lay in the first and second bal
conies in great numbers.
In some places corpses were piled
I up in the aisles three or four deep,
where one had fallen and others
tripped over the prostrate forms.
These had died as they fell, evidently
suffocated by gas.
Killed in Their Seats.
Others were bent over backs of
seats where they had been thrown by
the rush of people for the doors, and
killed without a chance to escape
from their seats. One man was found
bent backwards nearly double, his
spinal column having been fractured
by the rush. A woman was found cut
nearly in two by the back of a seat
over which she had been forced, face
I downward, before she could enter the
! aisle. The faces of dozens of people
| had been trampled in by the heels of
j scores of others who rushed over
j them. In one aisle, the body of a
| man was found with not a vestige of
| clothing, flesh, hair or bone remaining
j above the hips; nothing but bones.
Even the skull was gone.
Rarely in the history of Chicago has
its people been so stirred as by the
calamity. The speed with which it ■
came seemed for a brief period to
J appal the business quarter. Every
' available policeman within call of the
department was hurried to the spot
and the men were placed in lines at
the end of the block. They tried to
prevent anyone entering Randolph
street from either Dearborn or State
streets. It was found for a time al
| most imposible to hold back the
! frenzied crowd that pressed forward,
many of them having friends or rela
tives in the theater.
__
i
The First Ghastly Ulscovery.
i . The building was so full of smoke
| when the firemen first arrived that the
full extent of the catastrophe was not
[ immediately realized. It was not
grasped until a fireman and a reporter
crawled u!> the stairway to the bal
cony, holding handkerchiefs over their
mouths to avoid suffocation. The two
men tried vainly to get through the
door, which was jammed with dead
women piled higher than either of
their heads. All the lights of the
theater were out and the only illumi
nation came through the clouds of
smoke that hung between the interior
of the thepter anil the street. The
two men immediately hurried below
and informed Chief Musham of the
tire department that the dead bodies
were piled high in the balcony and
prompt assistance must be rendered if
any of (hem were to be saved. The
chief at once called on all his men to
abandon work on the fire and to go
at once to the rescue. The building
was so dark and the smoke so thick
that it was found impossible to ac
complish anything until lights had
been obtained. More than 200 lights
were quickly carried into the build
ing and the work of removing the
bodies was begun.
One large truck ordinarily used for
conveying freight to depots was so
heavily loaded with dead in front of
the theater that the two draft horses
attached to it were unable to start
and the police were compelled to as
sist by tugging at the wheels.
Dead will Reach Six Hundred.
Later reports give estimates that
will probably bring the dead up to
six hundred. The City Press associa
tion discontinued all attempts to keep
|track (jf the number of dead bodies
at the morgues, the faet being palpa
ble that the effort was more produc
tive of error than genuine informa
i tion owing to the confusion Incident
to the removal of bodies and the dazed
condition of those in charge from
overwork and lack of sleep. The rec
ords at the morgue showing the issue
of burial permits at the coroner’s of
fice was substituted, as a less unsatis
factory method of keeping the death
count.
A Sad New Year.
On New Year's day funeral proces
sions were moving through the snow
covered streets to various cemeteries
while the throng about the various
morgues and undertaking establish
ments seemed almost as large as ever.
The scenes here were the same as
those of Wednesday night and Thurs
day night. Many men appeared at the
door of Roiston's and Jordan's
morgues Friday afternoon who had
been on their feet for forty-eight
hours, constantly searching for those
they had lost. The greater number
of dead are in those two places au 1
men who had viewed the ghastly rows
of corpses before and had gone on
unavailing search to ev»ry morgue
and undertaking room in the city to
which the dead from the theater hail
been taken came hack < nee more to
Roiston's and Jordan's almost in de
spair, but hoping against hope that
they might have overlooked their dead
in the great number that had crowded
the tables and floors on Thursday
morning, in some ^ases they were un
successful, in many others they were
not. Practically all of the l>odies
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 beat.
The Fatal Building.
\V. A. Merriman. western manager
for the George H. Fuller company, the
concern which erected the Iroquois
theatre, to a press reporter made the
following statement concerning the
construction of the building:
“The Iroquois theatre was built with
safety as the first consideration. All
the building ordinant es were adher
ed to in every detail and. more than
that, there were additional safe
guards thrown about until I do not
hesitate to state there was no theatre
building in the country freer from
danger. The exits were numerous
and alt the work which our company
performed was absolutely fireproof.
After making a very careful examina
tion of the building since the fire I
find that the structure as erected, still
stands intact.”
Saturday brought out the legacy of
the awful calamity and the prediction
that the list of fatalities in the Iro
quois fire will run to over GOO when
information is complete.
The latest statement of dead at the
various morgues is 504 and it is
stated at the various hospitals and
hotels to which the injured were re
moved, that of the 157 who were in
jured, probably one-third cannot live.
The missing at this writing is esti
mated at ?.14, but it is expected that
many of these will be accounted for,
probably a large majority of them.
Chicago in Deep Gloom.
It Is no extravagance of language to
say that the city is stunned by the
overwhelming tragedy which was en
acted when the theater which housed
“Mr. Bluebeard’' became a chamber
of horrors indeed. There is the deep
est woe in hundreds of homes, deep
sorrow in a thousand others, and a
pity beyond the potency of words to
convey in all.
The first streak of daylight which
shone on the snow-covered streets
found the morgues still the sorrow
haunted center of many searchers.
Theer are husbands searching for
their wives, wives searching for their
husbands, frenzied parents seeking
their children, so many or whom lost
their lives, and in some instances,
wide-eyed children, still dazed from
the horror of their experience, groped
distressedly about in search of father
or mother.
A Sad Sunday.
CHICAGO—It was a day of funerals
in Chicago and for the first time in
the history of the city all of the people
who desired to bury their dead were
unable to do so. The unprecedented
demand for hearses and carriages
would have been enough in itself to
task to the very utmost the resources
of the undertakers, but the heavy
snow that bps fallen during the last
two days, has increased their difficul
ties enormously. All of the cemeteries
in Chicago are miles from the busi
ness center and residence districts
and with good weather and the streets
in passable condition it is a matter
of several hours to reaoh one of them.
Sunday, when every hearse was in
urgent demand, it required about
twice as long to reach a cemetery as
under normal conditions. Arrange
ments w’ere made by the undertakers
to have as many lunerais as possible
held in the early part of the day, in
order to allow if possible, the use of
the hearse for a second funeral in
the afternoon. In a number of cases
this was done, but there were in
stances where the families who were
to wait for the return of the hearse
were disappointed and were com
pelled to defer the burial of their
loved ones until Monday, it is not
expected that there will he any fur
ther trouble in this direction as the >
streets to the cemeteries are now in J
such conditon as to permit of the
passage of funerals In almost the or- J
dinary time.
Dead List Increases.
The list of dead was increased to
5st> Sunday hy the death of Leroy
Ralnbold. .a hoy of 4 years, who was
severely burned, and died in St. Luke’s
hospital. Of the ten bodies nt the
county morgue four more were iden
tified Sunday.
The injured of whom there is any
record now number 103, although the
number of those who were slightly
hurt would swell this number greatly.
Numbers of people went to their
homes after the fire without report
ing themselves to the police as in
jured.
Outside of the numerous funerals
that were held in the city Sunday it
was the first day of rest the city has
known since last Wednesday after
noon. Less than twenty |>ersons call
ed at the office of the chief of police
for permits to visit morgues, and few
people were at the hospitals.
John Schmidt, the stage hand who
Is said to have left open the reflector
which prevented the asbestos curtain
from descending, is still sought by
the police. He is believed to be in
hiding in the city, but the chief of
police received an intimation from his
friends that Schmidt will be ready
when he is wanted as a witness at
the coroner's inquest next Thursday.
Coroner's Investigation.
Beginning at 1) o’clock Monday
morning Coroner Traoger and the
jury impaneled to sit at the inquest
will resume its task of collecting evi
dence in the theater building. An
exhaustive examination fo the build
ing will be made and particular at
tention will be paid to any violations
of the building ordinances that may
be found. In accordance with the re
quest of the members of the jury, a)/
Bight-seers and even watchmen will
be excluded from the building while
examination is in progress. The jury
has said to the corouer that they do
not wish any person to hear the ques
tions that they may put to anybody,
as they fear publicity will interfere
with the thoroughness of the inquiry.
tu lilt* uumiiut'u scupe lllill
the coroner intends to give to the in
vestigation it is expected that the
work of taking testimony will con
sume several weeks. Contractors and
all others who can give expert testi
mony will be summoned and the cor
oner lias issued a notice to all per
sons who were in the theater and who
made their escape that he would be
glad to have them appear and give
their testimony.
IN AID OF RUSSIAN JEWS.
President Has Received Reports from
Consuls in Russia.
WASHINGTON.—Stmon Wolf or
this city, who ha3 been active for
several days in his endeavors to in
duce the United States government to
make representations io Russia look
ing to the protection of the Jews of
Kishineff. had an interview with
President Roosevelt. At its conclu
sion Mr. Wolf said that at the re
quest of the president himself he
could not. discuss tho interview far
publication.
it is known, however, that Mr. Wolf
was informed that prior to his pre
sentation of the matter to the state
department the president had direct
ed tho United States consuls in Rus
sia to inform this government L there
w'ere any likelihood of a repetition of
the Kishineff massacres of last spring.
The replies to that inquiry thus far
received have been reassuring in their
tone. Moreover, they indicate thai the
Russian government is fully alive to
the reports of possible trouble at
Kishineff on January 7. In view of
that fact it is assumed that the Rus
sian authorities will take if, indeed,
they have not already taken steps to
prevent a recurrence of the massa
cre.
NO WAR IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
Optimistic Visw of Situation Enter
tained at Rome.
ROME—Following the reports from
the far east rather an optimistic view
concerning the difficulties between
Japan and Russia is entertained in of
ficial circles here. It is not believed
that a conflict will take place in the
near future, not only for climatic rea
sons, but because Russia is unpre
pared for war. It is believed that
Russia will first consolidate her war
ships in the east with her volunteer
fleet In the Mediterranean, which lat
ter now number nine vessels. Tho
vessels of the Mediterranean fleet
have purposely kept apart so that no
idea might he given of the character
or strength of the squadron.
In political circles the opiuion pre
vails that the attitude of the United
States will have an effect on whether
France and Great Britain remain neu
tral.
