Spectacular Fire Follows
Explotion; 2 Firemen Are
Killed Fighting Fire; 2
Others In Collision
KANSAS CITY, Mo., June
25. (United News) More
than 40 persons are buried in
the debris of the Gillis theatre,
which waa wrecked by a dis
astrous explosion here late to
night, according to Chief of .
Police William A. Shreeve.
A score of persons, critically
burned and bruised, have been
taken from the wreckage and
sent to hospitals. Others were
inextricably buried under the
wreckage, which became, a
raging inferno after the ex
plosion, Shreeve said..
The theatre was a four-
story building, located in the
lower Kansas City business
district. Fire, which was be
lieved to have precipitated the
explosion, originated in a small
restaurant.
The explosion demolished
the side of the theatre, bringing-
the upper floors crashing
down on the heads of the pat
rons, according to Shreeve.
Two firemen, enroute to the
scene, were killed when their
fire truck skidded and crashed '
into a retaining wall. .Later
two firenien, caught under
falling walls, died, bringing
the known death toll to five.
The number of injured being :
taken to hospitals mounted '
steadily as the firemen brought
the blaze under control, and
general order was restored.' .'
Three firemen were injured
by falling walls.
The blase waa communicated to
nrtlnlnln" buildings on th north and
destroyed three minor tram struc
tures before It waa brought under
control. -
