The other Hor n-.ertal calamity, and the prediction ton girl and tne &ister WDo accompa that the list of fatalities in the lro- nied tQ'em, were not found. -Cuois fire will run over 600 when in-; torm-ation is complete. The latest ; All Lost Except Husband, ttat&ineat of dead at the various' morgues is 564, and it is stated at the various hospitals and hotels to whicn the injured were removed, that of the 157 people who were injured, proba- bly one-third cannct live. The miss- 1:13 today were estimated at 314, tout It was expected that many of thes-a w culd be accounted for, probably a large majority of tbera. it is no extravagance of language to say that the city is stunned by the overwhelming tragedy enacted when the theater whdeh housed "Mr. Blu Dard" became a cham;ber of horrors, indeed. Tiiere is the deepest woe in hundred of hemes, dse-p sorrow in a thousand ethers, and a pity beyond the potency cf words to convey in all. City Stunned by Calamity. ; The first streak of daylight on the n.-ow-covered ctreets tound the j morgues still tha sorrow-haunted j centers of many a searcher. There j were husbands searching for their iiues, wives searching for their hus bands, frenzied parents seeking their caild'ren, so many of whom lott their lives, and in some instances, wide eyed children, still dazed from the horror of their experience, groped dis tressingly about in search cf father or mother. Drivers Establish Truce. Possibly nothing could better typify the depth of sympathy than the action j of the striking Hvery drivers by a vote of truce of ten days. In their turn, the employers issued a call to their striking employes to return to work, "irrespective of any previous affiliation with any and ai: organizations," and promising to pro tect them in all contingencies which may artee in the future. Searching for Relatives Al! night long the crowds came and went around the morgues where the bodies of the victims of tae disaster lay. There were heads ct faoiilies. uuauc.o, oicia nuu uicu iiu-u nuumn lookinu for those from outside cities . who had been their guests. For hours ; they passed up and down before the K.kA..

Meeker, a clerk in the registry division of the postoffice, liv- ing in the suburb of Irving Park, has probably lost in the lire his entire tamily, consisting of his wife, two daughters and two sons. ' A friend called Mr. Meeker up on the telephone at 4 o'clock in the af- ernoon and asked him if any of hds family had gone to the theater. He answered that so far as he knew, none of them had left home. When he reached the house, however, he found only his mother-in-law there. "Where are Mabel and the chil dren?" he asked. They have gone to the lroquis the- ater, ' was the reply. "1 dropped right down on. my knees," said Mr. Meeker, "and prayed that God might spare them." Today Mr. Meeker had partially identified, the bodies of his wife and two daughters. He tailed to find any trace of his two sons. Responsibility For the Fire. Among many of the theatrical men employed in the other Chicago thea ters, the responsibility for the fire was ascribed today to the careless placing of electric arclight apparatus too close to one of the hanging borders of the scenery. The electrician ot the leading Chicago theater expressed great surprise on hearing that this ! was considered a possible cause of the ; tire. '"There never would have been any file." he said, "if proper care had ; been exercised in handling the lights. The electric plant of the theater was j installed, as I happen to know, from ! in personal observation, in accordance with every modern requirement for j safety. The plant was not to blume. ( If the facts I have been given are correct, the whole blame rests on the person, who placed, or was operating a light, so closely to the curtain." J2. K. Wetmore, of the insurance firaj . . ... ........ . . .. .. .... quois tueaier, ceorarea toaay mat tae ioss waul'd not exceed $20,000. He also asserted that the spread of the flames to the auditorium was cue to tee failure of the asbestos curtain to work properly. ' Early last eaarrmer a prominent trade journal of Chicago criticssed the the bach of the stage for carrying the fiajneE and smoke upward and avray irom tne auancnum in tne event 01 fire. Such shafts were built in Mad, iscn Square Garden and the Metropol- itan opera house in New York, and a sfcnnw provision is made at the Chica S Auditorium. Medical Assistance Prompt.

People around the theater building I bow EO macy physicians and so many '; trained nurses could arrive on the spot witnm so snort a time. ur. tierm-an Spalding, senior official ln the city; health department at the time of the fire broke cut made all the arrange- ments for medical attendance.

They were looking for memfcers of their families and ae- quaintances who had gone down town simply to attend a matinee, without stating to what theater they had in tended to go. There were many scenes of joyful recognition and astonished members of the Garrick . audience wra v,,, ar.-i i.-issei in frantic delight by their relatives who up. to that time had believed it possible that they were in the ghastly pile 61 dead lying within the doors of tne IrcHiuois theater.
