May Pave 39 Blocks.
Norfolk may pave thirty-nine blocks
this summer Instead of only the seven
already provided for.
There's a race on between residents
of Fourth street and those of Third
street , to see which will be paved to
South Norfolk street. Two new pe
titions arc In the field and already the
Fourth street document has a big
Uunch of signers. Third street resi
dents have made arrangements to
call a mass meeting at once and take
action In the hope of getting under
the wire first.
J. W. Hansom and H. E. Hardy
started out yesterday with a petition
to pave Fourth street from the M.
O. tracks on the north to the North
western tracks at the Junction , on the
south. This district covers fifteen
blocks. The plan was to get the re
quired signatures secretly , without let
ting any other street know , and to
present the petition next Monday
night to the council. Among others
the Pasewalk estate signed for 1,000
feet. Mr. Hansom and Mr. Hardy are
very heavy property owners on the
street , as a starter.
But the air has ears. Within a few
hours after this petition had started ,
Third street people got wind of it.
Already a petition for two blocks of
Third street had been signed up and
the plan was to gradually push the
paving south until that was the pav
ed street to the Junction. When that
street heard of the Fourth street
movement , however , things vroro stir
ring. A mass meeting was arranged
for and a petition planned. The pe
tition will call for paving from
Braasch avenue south to Michigan ,
then one block east to Madison street ,
then south to the Northwestern prop
erty , then east to First street and
south to the depot. The paving would
run two blocks north of the depot and
ii block west , surrounding one entire
block. This would make eighteen
blocks.
And the question Is , which street
will win the race ?

Into the alloy. When she fell , a man
jumped on top of her. hut she was
only slightly bruised.
College Girl Rescues Old Woman.
Miss Opal Coryell , a Norfolk college
girl , daughter of F. G. Coryell , was
the heroine of the evening. She got
out safely and was told that an old
lady near whom she was sfttlng dur
ing the evening had not her escape
and was lying on the lloor Inside. She
broke loose from her companions and
rushing Into the burning theater
brought the aged woman out.

0 years old , were slightly Injured as s\
result of falllllS over \\\P \ \ \ ladder lead
ing from the stage to the rear exit
where they were trampled upon. The
little girl s hands are badly smash
ed and the little boy's legs were
bruised.
Hotel Guests Get Trunks Out.
Traveling men In both hotels all
through the lire were busily engaged
trying to get their belongings togeth
er , and trunks were hauled out by
them. Several times they came in
contact with the stream of water
which was being played on the fire
in the west hallway of the Pacific ho
tel , by the firemen.
Another Girl Stepped On.
Another girl would have been toss
ed through a window as was Miss
Marquardt , but the crowding of people
ple prevented the men from getting
free use of their arms and her weight
proved too much for them. Tills was
Miss Corrine Ilirsch. She was step
ped on and slightly bruised. Later
she escaped through a rear exit.
Clarence Rasley was stepped on and
his hip slightly uruised.
How it Felt to be Thrown Out.
Miss Marquardt , who was hurled
through a window lit upon a pile of
boards with nails in them.
"When I saw the fire I was scared , "
she said to The News later. "And
when I couldn't get out some man
or men picked me up and threw me
through u window. I struck on a
pile of boards witli nulls sticking in
them. Then some man stepped on
me. "
"When I saw the fire , I jumped out
of the operating box anil downstairs , "
said Operator Haker , "and yelled to
Mathews , the assistant , to jump. "
Rev. Edwin Hooth , Jr. , pastor of the
First Congregational church , was just
about to enter the theater when the
lire broke out. He didn't happen to
have the right change and neither did
the ticket seller , when lie lirst went
to the door , so lie went to a nearby
drug store to get the change. Other
wise he would have been In the the
ater He met Miss May Johnson and
Miss Parker coming out.
"She's still in there. She's still in
there , " they said.
"Who's in there ? "
"Opal .Coryell. "
"Why didn't she come out with
you ? "
"She went back to help an old lady
who was on the lloor. "
Mr. Hooth entered the theater but
Miss Coryell had gone out the rear
exit. In the process she lost her hat ,
which later was restored. When Mr.
Hooth told her father of her heroism ,
she made light of it. Asked about the
episode , .Miss Coryoll told The News
she "didn't think It was so. " She is a
Nebraska university student.
Machine Operator Tells of It.
"I was winding up a reel , " said
Baker , the operator , after the lire ,
"and Emil Mathews was working the
machine. A loose piece of film was
lying on the lloor near me and It sud
denly caught lire , from the transform
er , I believe. The wires must have
been crossed. The reel I was winding
was soon burning and I ran down the
stops calling to Emil. "
Mathews stayed by the machine , but
soon reached for his hat and coat ,
which were hanging on a hook. Ho
was burned about the face and arms.
S. W. Warner and Adolph Molden-
hauer , both Jewelers In the employ of
C. S. Hayes , were standing near the
operating room when the explosion
took place. The operator leaped over
Moldenhauor's shoulders and alighted
on top of a man nearby. The llamoa
then cast a vivid flash over the little
theater , which was soon the scene of n
panic.
Lights Out , Women Scream.
The electric lights were out and
women and children were crying for
help while the men , with few excop
UOIIB , kept cool and their voices above
the cries of the women could bo heard
calling. "Keep quiet , " "Lots of time , '
'Keep cool , " "Don't push , " "Don't gel
excited. "

s Nobody Yelled "Fire. "
cooler heads would have resulted In a
serious catastrophe. The men busied
themselves among the children , carryIng -
Ing them to the rear exit , from where
they tossed them out of the window ,
which was close to the ground.
The firemen were soon on the scene
of the live and their system of safe
guarding , the public and the property
'Mi ' this occasion will-be one long renumbered -
numbered by Norfolk citizens who
witnessed the i scone. Immediately
upon their arrival tllcy stretched a
rope around the burning building and
no one but firemen was allowed to
cross It.
Firemen Do Good Work.
Then they entered the theater and
made short work of the burning op.
eratlng room. Chief Green then or
dered the ladders raised to Uio upper-
utory , occupied by the Queen City l\lu'
Pacific hotels , jjon SU UV6kV ) wj J
was the first llromnn to ,
outer , of
th * Paclllc hotel rooms , discovered
that tliB west I'.itllway. which Is par
titioned on : from the Queen City upper
rooms by only a thin board partition ,
\vus a mass [ names which found
their way iij ) from n hole In the cell
ing of the theater. IfOre the ROOIIO of
excitement was at Its height. Hotel
guests eni'oavorlng to get their trunks
and belongings down took hold of most
everything movable. Just as Fireman
Skalow.sky opened the water on the
burning hallway , a hotel guest en
tered a room nearby and In his ex
citement started to drag out a mat
tress. Ho received the full contents
of the first shot of water and soon
could be heard screaming as he ran
up the hallway. lie dropped the mat
tress.
The hook and ladder company , In
the Initial trial of their new system ,
were highly praised by many who wit
nessed the clockwork article they put
on , each fireman receiving his orders
from Ills superior , throwing up lad
ders and sticking by tjiem. An axe
was called for and another hook man
stayed by the axe.
Fire In Pacific Extinguished.
The lire In the hall of the Pacific
WP.H of short duration , having been
discovered In time to prevent much
burning. The door frames and casing ,
a number of cots , carpets and storm
windows stored in the rear end of the
hall were damaged. In the Queen
City smoke and water did the most
damage. The South plumbing shop
was soon filled with water coming
from the ceiling , but the damage here
Is said to be slight.
The old lady who was rescued by
Miss Coryell was trampled on by a
man who later said , "It was impos
sible to keep from trampling on the
old lady ; I was pushed and fell on
her. "
Ed IIlilac , who was being pushed
around by the crowd in the theater ,
was one of the heroes of the evening.
Little Angle Scates , daughter of Mrs.
George Scates , who is managing the
theater for A. Koyen , the owner , was
In the theater. While her motner was
on the outside crying for the girl Tin-
lac bravely rushed In and carried the
little one out to her mother.
Others Bruised.
Frank Fox , limbs bruised.
August Ohmsted , limbs bruised ,
while making his way out through the
front door.
Mrs. E. J. Sehoregge , wno with her
daughter were making their way out
through the front , was forced into the
little ticket ollice , which is located un
der the operating room. Hero she
called for help In vain , but after a
struggle managed to get out.
Was Knocked Down.
W. H. Widaman , who was seated
well toward the front of the stage ,
was knocked around by the rush and
slightly bruised about the limbs. As
sistant Fire Chief Herman Winter re
ceived a badly bruised hand while
groping about in one of the hotel
rooms.
When the fire started a large num
ber of people were at the ticket ollice
asking for tickets and they are now
thanking themselves for being among
the lucky ones. The management of
the theater was putting on a special
vaudeville and a short time later the
house would probably have been jam
med.
"I was standing near tiie ticket of
fice when the fire started , " says S. W.
Warner. "I got as near the wall as
possible. The flames shot out of the
windows of the-operating room and It
was. only a second after the seats
were thrown into the aisles and the
lights went out. Women screamed ,
but most of the men were very cool.
Not-once was the call of 'fire' heard ,
the men doing their best to get the
women out. "
The lire department had three lines
of hose laid and did not leave the
scene until every precaution was tak
en to see that the danger was over.
They carried the seats back Into the
theater before leaving.
Th entire block was Insured.
Harvey O'Brien , bell boy at the Pa
cific , was burned slightly about the
head while rushing through the hall
way calling to the guests that the ho
tel was afire.
Heavy Loss to Koyen.
A. Koyen , who owns both the Crys
tal and the Lyric moving picture the *
aters , was in Fremont at the time. It
was not known what his loss would
people were coming In fast. A half
hour Inter would have meant a serious
catastrophe , " she said.
The four amateur vaudeville per
formers on the stage are given credit
for saving lives and preventing In
juries. They were : Allen Trulock ,
Will Werner , Ben Wllloy and Roger
Wllley. They lined up and helped
people climb up on the stage and then
out through the single exit-door and
the window.
Ladder Blocks the Door.
A ladder on the stage that was to
have been used for the "moon" scene ,
toppled over and blocked the real
door , so that people
upon her hand till Allen Trulock lifted
her up.
Thl Man Was Nearly Crazy.
Mlas Florence Parker , Norfolk
teacher , tells of a big fat man who
was just ahead of her. lie lost his
head and began elbowing his way
through the crowd , heedless of women
and children. After he got outside ho
was white as a ghost and trembling
like a U uf. "I don't know how I got
out , " M.ts Parker said. "I don't remember -
member a thing about that. "
89 Did This Man.
Another \ \ \ \ picked up a little child
and placed the babe on top of t\\ \ \ \

and It has not been found.
Rev. Edwin Booth , jr. , who entered
the theater toward the end , found a
woman's hat. This he brought out.
A woman rushed up to him , seized the
lint and demanded , "Where's my pocketbook -
etbook ? " He hadn't seen It.
As soon as the lire broke out , women
and children beRiin screaming wildly.
"IIolp , " Mercy , " they cried , and then
they Just Rcronmed.
A Dangerous Rear Exit ,
The wonder Is that more were not
hurt in escaping by the roar exit. At
the back of the room the stage stretch
es completely across. In the center
of the building , at the back of the
stage , Is a single door. To got to the
door It was necessary to climb up on
the stage a good , big climb for a
woman in heavy skirts or for a child
and It seemed remarkable that nobody
was hurt In that climb.
Mrs. Scates , managing the theater ,
estimated that there were about 100
persons Inside.
"Men wont crazy , " she said. "Thoy
left their hats , and when a man will
leave his hat , he's pretty batty. "
It was an unlucky day for W. II.
Widaman , who was in the Crystal fire.
During the morning Mr. Widaman ,
who lives near the Northfork river ,
was endeavoring to lead his cow from
ho jmsluro. The cow was tied near
he mill nice and when clone to the
mnk she started pulling on the rope.
Mr. Widaman pulled with might and
nain and , using the river bank as a
trace , gave an extra hard tug at the
lemp when suddenly "Pansy , " the
xW. lot loose and Mr. Widaman was
thrown Into the water , which Is about
welve feet deep. He was forced to
wim back to shore , where lie found
lie cow looking down at him. Using
ils own words , "she stood there siull-
ug. "
