There waa little mention of nn In quest. Coroner G, L. Dixon Is among those listed as dend nnd no one has been designated to take his place. Although the fire and panic occur red soon utter nine o'clock last night, the news of the disaster did not reach the outside world until many hours inter. The entire available popula tion busied itself In tho work of res cue. Eye witnesses said soveral men lost their lives in efforts to save others. In some instances they won their way to safety, but on- learning of the dis aster inside the building, they' re turned In an effort tu rescuo women and children. Identification of bodies was a diffi cult task and in numerous cases only by bits of clothing could identity bo established. CAMDEN, S. O.. May 18. Rescue "workers today had accounted for all persons known to have been in the small wooden building except two missing men. They expressed tho opinion that the death list would not exceed 73. The exact cause of. tho flro, ac cording to. tho majority opinion, was the falling of a swinging lamp above the stage. Oil from the broken bowl spread over the floor and quickly ig nited tho flimsy draperies being used Tor scenery of the play "Topsy Tur Voy." Uncontrollable panic Beized tho audience. Rod Cross headquarters at Colum bia offered aid today but was noti fied that no help was needed. Gov ernor McLeon sent his secretary hero as his personal representative. "The play was going on when the fire started and tho blaze, began as we were shifting the sconery between the second and third acts," said C. C. T3ruce, 19, who played a part In the comody. "At first people screamed and be gan to get up, 'but wo told them we could put the fire out and we tried to do so. The flimsy draperies caught, however, and soon the stage and platform were ablaze. Then ev eryone acted panicky and began to rush for the stairway, tho only exit, and a very narrow and rickety one. There were about 300 people in the audience, I believe., "The men tried to keep the crowd from pushing each other down the steps but could not control them and the flames were licking closer on all sides. Soon some of the Dconle in the hall began going to the windows and began jumping out. Mothers threw their children to those below, and some jumped after them. I got out by jumping across the bannisters and down to the first floor instead of using the steps. Shortly after I got out of the building the Stairway collapsed and there was a struggling mass of people, many badly hurt, some even thon dying, I guess, The splinters from the Jagged edge where the stairway gave way, Boon caught fire and burning pieces of wood fell upon those fighting for their lives in the pile of debris. The only light was from the fire itself and the heat was Intense. "I pulled at those In the doorway until I saw it was useless and many of us stood under the windows trying to catch the children who were thrown out and to break the fall of those who leaped. Automobile seats were placed limine ilio wlnrlnw in hroalr tl,a foil aa much as possible but few who dlifl not get out early by the doorway escaped with less than a broken wrist or leg. . "Soon the building inside began te catch fire and then collapsed and then, I guess you know the rest. I'll never forget it" As an afterthought the youth added: "And the tragedy of It all is that the building had been condemned and this was to be the last commencement ever hold in It, Next year the boys and girls of the Cleveland school commu nity were to be in a now school house." Each wrapped In a sheet the bodies of the 73 dead today lay in a long row near the place whore they met death, Reports were current that the death list would run to at least 78, but offic ials checking the Hat said that all ex cept 74 had been found alive.

TREATMENT OF JAPS IS THORN (Continued from page one.) erted pnrclstenly in recent years to undermine the traditional friendship of the two countries. But in spite of these efforts the conference gave both countries a real opportunity to talk things over, and tho people had a chance to learn what was going on." Aftor declaring there wore 'excel lent reasons, both material and ldoal," for Japan and the United States, to continue on the friendliest terms, Mr. Hanlhara said: "Japan sells to the United States more than all other countries com blncd excepting China, and Japan is America s best Oriental customer. Further than that America's trade with China is not Injuriously affect ed by Japanese competition although the opposite Is alleged. ' "Japan Is a valuablo trade con nectlon for the Pacific region," Mr. Hanlahara asserted, adding that the connection is even more valuable to Japan than to America. As to Japan's relations with China the ambassador declared his coun try's policy toward China always had beon one of poace, friendship and mu tual accommodation. "If at any time," he continued, "there was apparent deviation from this policy, It woa due more to dr- Notables Arrive J" 0 .?A At tho right is Mrs. A. E. Austin, wife of Dr. A. E.

Why Japan should be friendly to China is simple to un derstand. Japan is so geographically situated that her repose and safety are directly affected by conditions lit China; and then Japan 1b vastly do pendent for her trade an.d manufac ture on China."
