Criminal carelessness In the construe tlon of tho building Is responsible for tho horrible death of ICC children In n fire that destroyed Lake View School, Colllnwood, a suburb of Clovcland, this morning. As in tho Iroquois and Slocum catastrophes, the uutliurltlesiawokc to the terrible fato that was Impending only after the calamity had spent its fury. Over the blnckcned, burned nnd trampled bodies of tho children an Investigation started nt once. It Im mediately showed many of the Xatnl defects In construction and arrange ment. Only Two Exits Available uniy two cxiiH wcro avnuuuio iur nearly 400 children nnel tho doorl leading to one of these was closed and opened Inward. Tho main door and the halls were ' narrow, cramped and unfit for tho rnpld .passage of the children. The fire escapes did not reach tho ground nnd the entire plan ot tho building was such as to lead County Coroner Ilurkc to declnro that tho construction was an outrage. Thcro was lax dlsclpllno In tho in rtltution. And, flnnlly, the tiro de partment of tho village was utterly unable to copo with the situation. Panic was primarily responsible, howctcr. Had the 300 little ones been able to preserve their presence ot mind, scores mowed down In tho i oaring flames might have escaped In safety. As It was, dozens wcro crushed to death before tho flames leached them In tho terrified rush fpr safoty. Dozens Leap to Death Dozens moro wcro killed In frantic leaps from windows. Tho remain der wcro swallowed up. In tho flames carried down Into 'the raging fur naco in the cellar of the building, when, fifteen mlnutei nftcr the first alarm, and while ngbnlzKd parents dashed helplessly about or tho out sldo restrained by forco from dash ing in the floors of the building collapsed and made further rcscuo absolutely impossible. After that there was naught to do but wait for the flro to exhaust Itself and then to take up the agonUlpg work of digging out the victims. Tho victims range In ages from C to 1G years and tho story of their fate is one ot tho most heartrending that tho newspapers have been called upon to chronicle Approximately there wcro 300 children In the building' when tho flro started, Of theso It Is known that nt least lGIi met death. It is thought tonight that tho list will bo extended to 170 nt least, and more may be added to it after a house-to-hnuso canvass has been mado of tho village. Many of tho victims woro burned beyond recognition and where Iden tification ,1s made It will be by means of n bit of clothing or soma trinket. At least a score moro probably will die from the Injuries they sustained. The school house was a two-story and attic brick building and was crectod bIx years ago. Singular lock.' of foresight was Bhown in tho con-, structlon, for' it was provided wlthj ii iu narrow nans, ana me covered flro escapes on tho outside, custom ary on school buildings, had never been Installed. Furnace Causes Fire Tho flie started In tho basement nnd was duo to a defective furnace. Sovoro cold had prevailed hero dur ing the past few dnys and tho Janitor had n raging lire going when school opened nt 9 o'clock this morning. The pupils, crowding all the rooms of the building, were in the first pe- ilod of their studies when tho cry of1 "Fire!" was started. I Every ambulance In the city an swered the general ambulance alarm! following tho discovery of the fire.1 Twenty wagons and drivers wore en gaged from 9:40- o'clock In tho morning until nftor 5 o'clock In tho' afternoon. Even nt 8 o'clock sevor nl drivers had not returned to the, bams. Drivers and attendants wore exhausted physically bv tho netnni exertion of carrying nwny tho dead' and dying. Thp first load was seven bod Ion ineso were taken to the Ilognn morgue in St. Clair street. Instrue lions were received, however, to take the bodies to the Lake Shore store-' house. One dead little girl was tak-1 en to her home. Forty-eight bodies were carried to homes during the day. At 8 o'clock in tho ovonlng two wagons wcro still busv taltlnc the Identified dead to homes. Tho supreme horror of the disas ter was that tho fathers nnd mothers of many of the llttlo victims HtooU before the doors and' saw tho flames creep up and blacken the faces of the screaming children, -.,.. A-1irtftjfa4ariBtl-ll(, iitojfl oHI IN Rear Doorway Is Jammed Tho rear doorway was massed to the top with whlto faces. Llttlo hands stretched out suppllcatlngly, begging to bo saved. Molhcrs'falnt td where they stood. Others tried to gather in the young children. Hut luntoer firemen nnd policemen held them back. Then the flro crept .up through the mass, silencing tho wnlltng voices of the children, for whom nothing, could bo dono, though rescuers were crowded in front ot the doors. In their wild panic, the Children had wedged themselves so tightly In to tho passagowny that tho rescuers pulled tho flesh from tho arms ot i oino trjlng to draw them out. Tho flro was discovered by thteo llttlo girls who wcro in tho base ment. They saw tho flumes eating up Into tho wind of tho front stairway. They rushed through tho basement nnd told Fred, Illrtcr, tho Janitor, lie sounded tho school flro alarm gong. Mrs. Mornn, principal ot tho school, supposed It was tho regular practlso Are drill. Tho tcachcra marshaled their charges In good or der and Btartcd for the stairs. Thcro was no panic at first. Tho children on the flrBt floor passed out safely, thinking It the usual practlso drill. Teacher Saves One Class Thoso behind then saw tho smoke. They cast frightened glnnces nt it, but maintained order. Many of tho children on tho third floor wcro sav ed in this manner. Hut tho flames spread so quickly that by the tlmo tho children on tho third floor hail como Into tho hall, the smoke and sparks wcro coming up tho stairs la great puffs. Miss Laura Uodcy, who had chargo ot tho single room on tho third floor, kept her head nnd started tho chil dren down tho stalls. When they reached the second floor tho llamcn wero eating their way up tho Btairs. Miss Ilodoy culled to tho children to follow her. Sho led the way to tho fire escape, through-a room on tho rccond floor. Most ot tho children obeyed her and wcro saved. Some, howocr, had broken away and fled down tho stairs. They wcro caught In tho death trap. Nearly all tho children on tho'sec ond floor perished. Their teachers led them to tho stairs In tho rear, for the front stairs wcro enveloped in flames. At the sight ot the flr tho children took fright at once. They started pell mcll down tho stairs nnd Into the narrow passaga that led to the outsldo doors. Held in Death Trap Tho first few escaped. Somo o( those following tripped on tho stairs and rolled to tho bottom. , Others be hind them ran over tho tangle at tho lottom of tho stairs and crowded In to tho passageway. Somo fell over prostrate, bodies and made tho con fusion greater. Tho children com menced dropping over the bannisters to get out. Thoso who had fallen on tho stairs began to get up and In an instant tno entrance to the passago wns blocked. Not yet had the flames spread to tho passage. At first tho children wedged Into tho passageway wcro nil standing. But as tho others urged from behind and ns they struggled to free them selves from the death-hold ot tho Jam, they fell forward In turn. It was kept up this way until tho pas sage wns blocked to within a foot of tne top. Only the faces ot tho chil dren could bo seen from the outside. lieh'lnd the human partition wero scores of other children crowded against tho barrier in a moaning huddle Various Statements Made What happened at tho foot of tho first flight ot Btairs will never bo known, for all of thoso who woro caught In tho full flurry of tho panic wero killed. After the flames had died away, however, huge heaps ot little bodies, burned by the fire, and trampled into things of horror, told the talo as well as anybody needs to know it. Vnrlous and unconfirmed state ments me mado as to tho cause oC tho flro, and nlso that tbo doors ot the building hnd been locked at tho front entrnnr.n. whtta lmt nnn ftnnt of the rear entry was unfaBtcncd, ine junnor, fritz lienor, himself bo leavod of two children, says that tho floors were open according to cus tom, nt any rate tha congestion- ot fleeing children in tho hallway bo low effectually barred tho way," and the llttlo ones went to tholr death totally unnlle to evade the flames. Within threo hours after the start of tho flro it had burned Itself out nnd the work of recovering the bog les proceeded. The village Are de partment had only two onglnes, nnd neither, upon arrival nftor the alarm was glvon, was at nil effectivo In stemming tho flames. ii William L. Day, son of Associate Supieme Court Justice William it. Day, was appointed UniteU States District Attorney for the northern district of Ohio. - to. - y,, .dmfoT,,,- F1AHES :W!ttL. i!MLu jL
