CAUGHT IN TRAP
Death March In Celllnwood School
Led to Locked Door.
Cleveland, 0., March 0. Twenty
four hours after the disaster which
caused tho death ot approximately one
third ot the school children ot Collin
wood, the death roll numbers 104. Ot
these 1.37 had been Idcutlflrd at the
Lake Shore morgue, while 27 bodice
remain thcro in a condition ot mutlla
tlon probably forever beyond tcoogni
tlon. The work ot digging in tho ruins ot
tho Lako Vlow rolioot house in further
search for remnants ot children still
missing began with the break ot day.
Dawn found mothers and fathers wait
ing about the ruined building, after
having epeut tho night in an effoit to
find their children's remain si In the ex
temporised morgue. Little was brousht
forth during the day that would satisiy
their longings, and it was bcltoved last
night that all the bod lea Uiat can 13
removed from tho ruins havo been tak
en out.
The coroner's inqueat was begun yes
terday, when a number ot witnesses
were examined without, however, de
veloping any testimony that was be
yond mere opinion. An Investigation
conducted by tiro Colllnwood school
board, which lasted far Into the night,
brought forth these facts:
That one of tho inner doors at the
West entrance ot the school was closed
and fastened, whilo children were pil
ing np against it in the passage; that
the partitions In the vestibule narrow
ed the exit by at least three feet; that
the flame came first from a closet be
low the stairway at tho East entrance;
the closet contained lime and sawdust;
three little girls had been found hiding
in play in the eloeet earlier in the
morning; there was but one fire escapo
and its use was never taught as a part
ot tho fire drill.

Contend Low Lumber Rata Will
vent New Construction.
Washington, March 0. Argument ot
the Pacific Coast lumber case was re
sumed before the InUrstato Commerce
commission yesterday. J. D. Kerr,
representing the Hill roads, frankly
stated that tho Northern Pacifio and
Great Northern have reached their ca
pacity for handling traffic. He said as
the development of the Northwest con
tinued, trafllc would grow Therefore
existing roads must Increase their ca
pacity or new roads must te built, but
he declared no new roads would be
built to haul lumber unless thoy had a
guarantee of a rate that would be re
muneiative. If the old non-compensatory
lumber rate is continued In
effect, money cannot bo procured and
railroad building will stop, he said.
31r. Kerr denied that the lumber
men would bo Injured by an Increase
They would still make a big profit, he
declared. The Booth-Kelly company
in Oregon, which Is not operated nnder
favorable conditions, could, on tho
basis of an advanced rate, still earn 31
per cent annually on Its Investment.
Some companies could make larger
profits, others not so much. Relative
to the arguments that lumber cannot
move Into competitive territory under
an advanced rate, Mr. Kerr showed that
the SL PmuI & Tacoma Lumber com
pany, of Tacoma, paid 65 cents Into
this district for years and made good
profita. This Is higher than the pro
posed new rate.
