Pender , Neb. , March 6. Special to The News : Olaf Olson , father of the missing little Lllllo Olsen , has been ar rested by Sheriff Dorcey of this coun ty.

Sheriff Will Not Talk. Sheriff Dorcey will not discuss the arrest. Ho will not give any sugges tion as to a possible clue upon which he based his arrest of the father. But some features of the case lead to strong surmises. Sheriff Visited Former Home. Sheriff Dorcey visited the former home of the Olsons at Rosalie on Tues day afternoon. The Olsons have re cently moved to a farm In Knox county , between Bloomfleld and Wan- sa. They gave it out that they could no longer endure the mental torture of living In the place from which their little girl so mysteriously and so sud denly disappeared. Drove at Break-Neck Speed. After his visit to the former Olsen home at Rosalie , Dorcey did things. Ho acted quickly. And as soon as possible he had the father in custody. From the old Olsen farm , the sheriff drove back to Pender at break-neck speed , just In time to catch the train which would take him to Olson's pres ent dwelling In Knox county. The sheriff drove into Ponder so fast that his horses almost dropped dead from their terrific flight under the sheriff's whip. That was Tuesday afternoon and yesterday afternoon the father was brought back to Pender in the officer's care. Mystery Surrounds The Affair. Utter mystery surrounded the affair. What Sheriff Dorcey knew , he refused to tell. That ho knew something , something definite and of importance in the case , was apparent from his trip to Olson's abandoned farm , his fast drive to town , his taking the first train and making the arrest In silence but with speed. Ugly Rumors Afloat. Ugly rumors were started afloat by the arrest. Some said a grave had been discovered. Some went so far as to say that the little girl's body had been found in the cellar under the house. Many thought that the sheriff remained silent for the sake of preventing - venting the mobbing of Olsen. Little Girl's Disappearance. It was before Christmas that little Lllllo Olsen suddenly disappeared. Nobody over knew what had become of her. It was one of the most mysterious disappearances ever recorded in Ne braska.

CAUSE OF INFANTILE MORTALITY Federal Experts Lay Responsibility for Epidemics of Typhoid , Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria to Impure Milk Justifies Use of Pasteurization. Washington , March 5. Surgeon General Walter Wynmn of the publli health service submitted to Secretary Cortolyou a report on "milk la its rela tion to public health. " The report it the result of an investigation ordered by President Roosevelt and conducted by federal experts under the direction of Professor M. J. Rosenau oi the hygienic laboratory. In his introduc tion to the twenty-two treatises of the experts , Dr. Wyraan says : "The steady decrease In mortality does nol apply to the infants. It is recognizec that gastrointestinal disease is the largest single factor determining in fant mortality. This enormous loss 01 potential wealth Is of grave concern to the state and worthy of the mosi careful consideration. " Dr. Wyman declares that the ideal milk , drawn from a cow with a healthy udder and preserved from coutamina tlon , is not the milk of commerce , ant ho cities the fact that samples of mar ket inllk in New York showed 35,200- 000 bacteria to the cubic centimetre London 31,888,000 and Washington 22,134,000. Ho calls attention to the evidence presented in the report as proof that 500 epidemics of typhoid fever , scarlet fever and diphtheria were caused by infected milk. Dr Eager , he says , "gives figures to prove that the high infantile mortality may be attributed almost entirely to im pure milk. " The surgeon general writes : "Dr Mohler points out that probably the most important disease of cows from the standpoint of public health is tu borculosls and that it is the most prev alent. Ho insists that all milk shank come from either tuberculosis tested cattle or subjected to pasteurization The important work of pasteurization has been carefully studied by Dr. Ros enau , who points out Its advantages and discusses its Inconveniences. He recommends GO degrees centrlgrad * for twenty minutes as the best tem perature to use in pasteurizing milk , as this degree of heat is sufficient te destroy the pathogenic microorganism ism without devitalizing the milk Itself. While pasteurization is not the ideal to bo sought , practically it is forced upou us by present conditions It prevents sickness and saves many lives facts which justify its use un der proper conditions. The destruc tion of Infection in milk at the pres ent time seems to bo the cheapest and most practical method to prevent the spread of typhoid infection in the milk supplies of cities. In exceptional instances , when a dairy receives Its supply of milk from only ono or two farms over which a supervision maybe bo exercised , efforts to prevent the in fection reaching the milk may bo at tempted. But for the general supply of cities , pasteurization of the milk after it has boon placed in cans or bottles for distribution Is the best measure. Supplement this with an in telligent supi rvialon o\or the depots and storus whuro mill ; Is sold and milk as a causative factor of typhoid fever in cities would bo practically re moved.

I I OF THESE FIFTY-SIX ARE STILL UNIDENTIFIED. DURNED BEYOND RECOGNITION SEARCH CONTINUED THROUGH THE NIGHT FOR BODIES. AWFUL CLEVELAND HOLOCAUST First Estimate of the Number of Fa talities Was Less Than Half the Actual Number , as the Gruesome Search of the Night Proved. Cleveland , O. , March 5. Fifty-six of the one hundred and slxty.flve bodies which had been recovered up to 11 o'clock this morning , are still uniden tified. Louis Gardner , member of the school board , Insists that the flro was the work of an Incendiary. The terrible holocaust which took place at the school building in Collln- wood , a suburb of Cleveland , yesterday morning , Is much more horrible than first reports indicated. During the afternoon while the search for bodies was going on , It was estimated that scvonty-flvo children had lost their lives in the seething flames. But as the heat cooled down in the ruins the search was continued by anxious fathers and sympathizing friends , and during the whole horrible night bodies of little people were removed from the wreck. The originally estimated num ber was passed early in the evening , and by 11 o'clock this morning 1G5 bodies were brought to the surface. As fast as removed from the ruins , the little bodies were removed to an Improvised morgue In the shops of the Lake Shore railway. Many of the bodies were so badly charred and dis figured as to he unrecognizable , EC being unidentified at this hour. Cleveland , March 5. Penned in aar- row hallways , jammed up against doors that only opened Inward , be tween 1G5 and 175 children in the su burb of North Colllnwood were killed by fire , by smoke , and beneath the grinding heels of their panlc-strki'.en playmates. The awful tragedy occurred in the public school of North Colllnwood , ten miles east of this city. One nun dred and sixty-five corpses are in the morgue at Colllnwood , thirteen chll dren are still unaccounted for , and nil the hospitals and houses for two miles around contain numbers of chil dren , some fatally aud many less se riously injured. All the victims wore bctweeu the ages of six and fifteen years. The ichool contained between three hun dred and ten and three hundred and twenty-live pupils , and of this entire number only about eighty are known to have left the building unhurt , it will be several days before the exact number of killed Is known , as the ruins may still contain other bodies , and the list of fatalities may be In creased by a numbtr of deaths among the children who are now lying In tlie hospitals hovering between life aud death. The school house was of brick , two stories and an attic In height. The number of pupils was more than nor mally large , and the smaller children had been placed In an attic of the building. There was but one fire es cape , and that was in the rear of the building. There were two stairways , ono leading to a door In front and the other to a door in the rear. Both of these doors opened inward , ami It Is claimed the rear door was locked as well. well.When When the flames were discovered the teachers , who throughout seem to have acted with coinage and solf-pos- session , and to have struggled heroic ally for the satety of their pupils , mar shaled the little ones Into column for the "fire drill , " which they had often practiced. Exit Clogged by Heaps of Little Ones. Unfortunately , the line ot match in this exercise had always led to the front door and the children had not been tiallied to seek any other exit. The Hie came irom a luinaco bltuated directly under this part of the build ing. When the children reached the foot of the utairs they found the llamcs close upon them , and so swllt a rush was made for the door that In an In- Btant a tightly packed mass of chil dren was piled up against it. From that second none of those who were upou any portion of the first flight of stairs had a chance for their lives. The children at the foot of the stairs attempted to fight their way back to the floor above , while these who were coming down shoved them mercilessly back Into the flames below. In an In stant there was a frightful panic , with 200 of the pupils fighting for their lives. Most of those who were killed died hero. The greater part of these who escaped managed to turn back and reached the lire escape , and thu windows In the roar. What hoppeiud nt the foot of that flight of B'a'rs ' will ne\er bo Known , for all of thos > who vtaro caugl.t In the full fury of tl e panic were Killed After the flames had died away , how erer , huge heaps of llttlo bodies. urnod by the tin ? , nnd train plod Into things of horror , told the tale as well ni anybody need to know It. Janitor Herter's ' Story. Various and unconllimud Btatomnntii are iinulo as to the CIUIHU of the lira and alKo that the doors of thu bulldliiK had been locked at tho. front cntnmco , while but ono door of thu rear entry WAS unfastened. The janitor , Frits Horlor. himself bereaved of thruo chil dren , nys that the doors were open , according to custom. At any rate thu lOiiKontlon or Hoeing children In thu hallway below effectually barred thu way , and the llttlo onus went to tholr death totally unable to evade the flames. Nearly all the children worn killed In the mass nt the first floor door , which dually was opened by men from the Ivake Shore railway shops , who hurried to the ncone. A wall of tlame had formed aeroas It and most of the children already were dead by the time the doors were swung open , Janitor Herter could remember llttlo of what happened after the flro start ed. "I was sweeping In the basement , " he said , "when I looked up and saw a wlap of mnoko curling out from be neath the front stairway. I ran to the flro alarm and pulled the gong that Boundoi throughout the building. Then I ran first to the front nnd then to the rear doors. I cannot remem ber what happened next , except that I taw the flan.es shooting all about and the little children running through them screaming. Some fell at the rear entrance and others stumbled' over them. I saw my little Helen among them. I tried to pull her out , but thu flames drove mo back. I had to leave my little child to die. " Teacher Loses Her Life. Miss Catherine Wollor , ono of the nine teachers In the school , lost her life in a vain effort to marshal the pupils of her class and lead them to safety. She died in the crush at the rear door. Her room was on the second end floor and when the flre alarm sounded , eho marched her pupils out into the hall , thinking it was only a fire drill. There the truth dawned upon both teacher and pupils , and control was lost. The children. In their frenzy , plunged Into the struggling mass ahead of them. Miss Wellor attempted / tempted to stem the rush , but went down under it , and her body was found an hour later piled high with these of her pupils. Miss Flsk , an other teacher , was taken out allvo , but she cannot llvo. BurnS o through chc croaB siippor.te of the first floor , the flames passed upward until all three floors crashed into a smoldering pile in the base ment. " ] Work of Rescue Begun. After the fire had practically burned Itself out , the work of rescuing the bodies was begun by firemen and rail road employes from the Lake Shore shops. The railroad' company tumod ever ono of Its buildings nearby to be used as a temporary morgue , and thither the charred and broken little bodies were removed as fast as they could bo dug from the ruins. Within five hours practically all had been recovered. They were placed In rows In the Lake Shore shop. Identifica tions were made only by means of clothing or trinkets. The fire had swept away nearly all resemblance to human features In the majority of In stances , The grewsome task of taking out the blackened corpses and bits of human remains was one of horror. A line of rescuers was formed , backed by halt a dozen ambulances. As the bodies were untangled from the debris they were passed along to the stretchers and thence loaded in the ambulances. Mercifully covered with blankets , the pitiful sights were veiled from the crowd ot curious that stretched about the entrance to the structure. As fast as a load was obtained it was driven away to the improvised morgue. Work of Identification. At the temporary morgue in the Lake Shore shop the scones became fourfold in the Intensity of human suf fering as fathers , mothers , brothers and sisters passed up and down the lines formed of 105 coi pses. To facil itate identification the bodies were numbered as they were received at the morgue. The first identification was made by the mother of Nels and Tommy Thompson , aged six and nine years respectively. The heads and arms had been burned from both bodies , but the mother recognized the shoes on tholr feet. And so the dis heartening work went on , accentuated now and then by a piercing shriek or plaintive moan as a loved ono was recognized' by clothing or token , such its ring or necklace.
