The last few seconds of bis short cut
over Hook Mountain were the longest
: he ever lived through.
He was on his way to visit a relative
on thc other side of the mountain and
decided to climb over it in.stcad of fol?
lowing the road around. 11c found the
summit of the rid__re bare of snow, how?
ever, and glazed with ice. Moreover.
there was a gradually increasing slonc
tiward the 100-foot cMlT on the far side.
Down this slope the postmaster coast

over the edge of the cliff with a veloc

feet past the brink. This enabltd hirn
to clear a heap of rock debris at the

a fifteen-foot snow drift, which eii

had been dug out and examined by a

not responsible for thc horror.

of thc House, declared to-uightfllhat
tho disaster may bc made lhe su'Sjec.l
of a Congressional inquiry to de?
termine what prccautions, if an;.. are
taken in other theaters for avoiding
such a disaster, Senator Capper made
a .similar statement.
Additional precnutions tvere take by
Washington hotel owners, who had
1 crews ot' mrn removing snow from lhe
roo-"s of their structure?, and
1 around all the larger hotela were
ropea to Keep pedestriai fr . 1 v alki j

falling snow might injure them.
Services in many Washington
churches wcre interrupted at the

Church, one of the largest edifices "r
thc city, waa thrown into a wild panic
at one of the morning masses, when n
large quantity of snow fcil on the

"1 have no doubl there will be a
Congressional investigation of Lhe
theater disaster if one should be
needed," said Senator James A. Reed,
of Missouri, "unless the cause of the
collapse is not perfectly plain. In my

"The question of an investigation
of this disaster undoubtedly will be
brought up when the Housc meets to
morrow," Representative Mondell said.
"II is probable, however, thal Congress
will wait to see what progress is made
by the District authoritiea before dc
I ciding as to whether it will act."
Harry M, Crandall, president of the
corporation owning thc theater, de
j clared that tlie building was thor?

From rhe Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON', Jan. 29.? One hundred and seven men,
women and children are known to have been killed last night
when the roof ot* the Knickerbocker Theater, Columbia Road
and Eighleenth Street, collapsed from lhe weight of the snow
banketl upon it. and buried a large part. of the audience under
tons of steel, concrete and wooden wreckage.
At midnight it was practically eertain that the death list
had reached its maximum, all the ruins having been explored
except a small seetion of thc orchestra.
The list of injured had reached 134. .Many ol these are in
' critical condition.
Uescucrs' Lives in Constant Danger
ln. extricating thc dead, dying and injured from thc v.reekage, the
rescuers struggled all to-day and last night after 9:10, when the coilapso
of the roof from thc weignt of twenty-five inches of snow suddenly turned
an audience enjoying a comedy film into tlfe most tragie scene Washfng
ton has ever known. Thc hundreds of men at this work were constantly
in danger that the side walls of the structure would fal!.
ln at least eleven cases husband and wife perished side bj side, the
rescue work to-day disclosed. While most of those killed died from the
blow of falling steel and concrete, or by being pinned beneath them, some
were smothered to tieath..
The lives of whole families, enjoying the movies together, were
snuffed out, while in other pitiful instances one small child survived thc
leath of both parents, sisters and brothers. Several children were saved
by crawling under seats, while one child was saved by being pinioned ir
by the bodies of two women, both of whom had been killed.
Washington Shocjked by Tragedy
Washington is literally aghast at the tragedy. Nothing approach
mg it ever occurred here before. ln the noithwestern seetion of thc
city there is scarcely a person who has not lost at least one close friend.
The only wonder is that, in view of the normal audienccs at the knicker?
bocker, not a single member of the Cabinet, Senate or House, and onl*
one member of the very large diplomatie colony was killed or injured.

Garfield Hospital with two broken hips.
Miss Carolinc Upshaw, a niecc of Representative Upshaw of Georgia,
