, But in Quick Quaker the oats are
cut before flaking. They are rolled
very thin and partly cooked. So the

o'clock tonight near the ashes of the
building where they met their death,

of all at tho sanio time.
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.

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-
