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.

the small bodies burned beyond

: Survivors agreed that the Mr.
cus staff had tried valiantly' to
prevent panic. 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.

Army Officers Deny Story
Of Burning of Material
EDMONTON, Alta., July 7
(Canadian Press) United States
army officers today, denied
charges of "wholesale" destruc-
tidn of equipment and 'material
along the Alaska highway as
assert yesterday in the Van
couver, B. 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.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
The men overseas don't mince any words '
about the way they want to find this
country when they come marching home, . . i
do they, Judge?" .
"They certainly don't, Herb7.7and they
mouldn t They're doing a masterful job '
fighting over there to protect our rights and ;
they have good license to expect us to pro- i
tect theirs back here at home. One thing '
they're mighty clear on is their stand of
prohibition."; ...
"Their position on that subject was stated
very emphatically in a poll taken recently
' among American service men In England by
i Britl8h, Institute of Public Opinion.
i When hundreds of men were asked point
5La,3k ??,w thev w?uld vte on prohibition,
85 of them stated, in unmistakable terms,
that they would vote against it. There's no
doubt about it, Herb... the men overseas
don t want any action taken on that subject
while they re away." .
't ,"Andtthoylr? I" right, Judge, because
I know how I felt when I cVme Borne after
.the last war-only to learn that we had
been overthere fighting for so impractical a
. thing as Prohibition."
