Among-other agencies investi gating were the state's attorney's office, the FBI and a special com mittee appointed by Mayor Wil liam Mortensen. . In contrast to the stories of va rious persons present when the fire broke out yesterday, shortly . after the opening of the after noon performance that the blaze originated low in the tent, Hal .', Oliver, circus press representa tive, said .today : .. ; i..v ."The fire definitely started at the roof of the tent." V J And he added: "We have a the ory, but we're not making it pub lic now. We ,expect to make an announcement later." He further declared - that ."absolutely no credence: was.' being given any theory of incendiarism 'or sabo tage." . , . v. V.:. .: The fire, the greatest, disaster in American circus history, re duced the show's main tent to ashes within less than an hour yesterday and brought injury to at least 250 of the spectators. . State police on duty at the tem porary morgue estimated that two-thirds of the dead were rhil. dren-and said most of the adult victims were women. A, chilling quiet, prevailed at the morgue broken- only occa sionally by the sudden sob of a mother recognizing some wisp of and. blackened figure. . But there was no hysteria as fathers, mothers, sisters, broth- , bis, nusoanas ana otner relatives walked silently from cot to cot. Many, searched futilely among the small bodies burned beyond Volunteer Heln t : Governor Raymond E. Baldwin was at me .scene quickly and re mained until late in the night.

The first move to ward the exits was orderly and many of the . children making their way from the tiers of seats were seen laugning excitedly. But when the flames roared with terrifying speed to consume the entire canvas roof, the audi ence became a fighting scream ing, terror-stricken mass. Some children dropped to the ground and were trampled un conscious by; others jumping be hind them. Others were tangled in the blazing', canvas.

C, Province. The news story, prepared by a staff correspondent, said "fires burn night and day" at Dawson Creek, B. C, to destroy large quantities of United States equipment, including unused articles such as stoves, ranges, furnaces, crockery, mattresses, sleeping bags, blankets and camp equipment, v ' . "The excuse is that this ma terial, -brought into the country by the United States on agree ment with Canada, cannot be sold or disposed of for use .in the Dominion," the Province de clared. 'It must be returned to the United States or destroyed." Col. Frederick K. Strone Jr.. commanding the northwest serv ice command. U. S. armv. and Maj.-Gen. W. :W. Foster, spec ial commissioner for northwest defense projects, both issued statements asserting the racer's statements "are. not true." Col. Strong added: "The Canadian government . . is being given every op- 710 BIG, COOL portunity to absorb such ma teriel as the U. S. government does not have an essential need for in the U. S. . . . A board of officers examines, all materiel which, when reconditioned, will not meet the U. S. army mini mum standards for salvage ma terial, is being destroyed." Gen. Foster termed the U. S. Canada agreement to turning over surplus equipment to the Canadian government as "most explicit." "If the U. S. no ; longer has any use for immoveable equip ment and property, it reverts to the Dominion government. With in one year after the war, all U. S.- immoveable equipment goes to the Canadian govern ment. Moveable equipment is sold to the Dominion govern ment which is making it avail able to Canadian contractors for use in northwest defence nrn- jects." .- - He said no surplus material is being sold private individuals or commercial firms at present.
