Crash Remembles Earthquake. | The Misses Harrison, proprietors of a millinery. store at 2471 18th strect, Were evewitnesses to the catastrophe. They were standing at their window when they said they heard a terrific noise. They thought their building shook and believed ft was an earthquake. Looking across the street it seemed to them as if the doors of the theater were blown open. There was much confusion among the people, who were appar- ently in the lobby of the theater. It was shortly after this that the crowd began to assemble and the two ladies opened their shop to take care of the injured. Several women were cared for in the shop, but they refused to give their names. They were later taken away in ambulances. Frank Lazarus, proprietor of the National Sport Shco, at 2464 18th street, was one of the first persons on the scene after the disaster occurred. any minute. Telephone calls to The Star office, after news of the catastrophe had spread, were pitiful. One of them, a plaintiff, childish voice, said that fama and papa went to the movies tonight, Were they hurt?" Another, from a nurse, said four lit- tle children were waiting the return of their parents, who had gone to the theater. Endless questions reached The Star concerning the names of dead and injured. A name would be given, searched for in the first lists received from the scene, and many times the tragic news of a terrible death was broken. Then there were those who were separated in the accident from those with whom they had gone to the theater. A husband, recovering con- sciousness, was taken out of the ruins, only to return to look for his wife, who had been sitting beside him. A little child, who with her mother had attended the theater, was taken awaye unhurt. Her mother was found later in the debris, dead. Representative Barkley of Ken- tucky searched the ruins several hours for his young son, who had nothing but moans, started for the theater earlier in the evening. After hours of anguish, in which he saw the mangled dead taken away, he was notified his hoy was at He heard a crash, he sald, like an au- tomobile smashing into a building. When -he reached the door of his shop people already were fighting their wady out’of thetheater, many of them with blood streaming down their faces. Mr. Lazarus supplied hack- saws and pliers with which the early rescuers worked and turned over his shop to care for the dead and in- jured. The rendering of first aid to the in- Jured was handicapped by the fact that the drug stores in the immediate neighborhood were closed, and it was impossible to obtain medical and surgical supplies. ¢ MANY KILLED AND INJURED WHEN THEATER COLLAPSES (Continued from First Page.) home. The lad, at the last minute, had changed his mind about going to the movies. . Many Miraculous Escapes. Many were the miraculous esoapes, Miss Marie Rhea, 1301 Rhode Island avenue, sat in her orchestra seat, her head sticking through the wire screen.

Police, firemen and volunteers car- ried the fnjured first into houses and stores nearby. Jvery residence be- came a dressing station. Doctors throughout the city responded to hurried calls. All available ambu- lances were sent, but many were unavailable, during the day In the snow. After they had reached the scene, and when the work of rescue was well under way, the entire figld hospital | unit from the Walter Reed Hospi- tal, with its fifteen ambulances, was dispatched. Trained soldiers joined the ranks of the rescuers. Torches, candles and flashlights were brought into play. Pickaxes, iron bars, hammers and saws were taken from the fire apparatus and the rescuers began hacking away at the concrete and wood. One by one the injured were pulled from be- neath, carried to the street and given attention there or put int?> ambu- lances and rushed away. Last Sacrament Administered. Although the standing walls were condemned immediately by the police and all those around warned, the rescue work went on. Three Roman Catholic priests went about and ad- ministered last sacrament t3 the dying. The heayy wire screen, which in such buildings retains the plaster of the ceiling, accounted for the saving of .many in the audience, Some of the rescued were found with thelr heads sticking out of debrig through hales in this screen. In turn, it re- tarded the rescue work. Msny pris- oned beneath this screen had to wait for men with saws and other instru- ments to cut them out. Rescue Work Dificult. The nature of the collapse made the work- of rescue difficult. First, to fall was the roof, and the crash brought down the balcony. This made two separate layers of debris through ‘Which the bodles had to having broken down| & ;cut through to reach those buried in the pit of the theater.

Scores of them brought | blankets, and from unknown sources hot coffee was brought and passed around to_these doing relief work. The ruins were described as resem- bling one of the well known pictures of a French cathedral after a heavy shelling. Covered with snow, which | fell in a continual downpour, could be seen the projecting pieces “of steel and iron work, concrete and wood, piled in a grezt mass. The moving lanterns, the shouts of the rescue workers and the cries and shrieks of the wounded made a picture which must be left to the imagination, A description would only serve to weaken the awfulness of the scene. The Krnickerbocker Theater, stand- ing at what might be described as the very heart of the northwest section, was one of the most modernly con- structed and beautiful’ moving pic- ture theaters in the city. It was one of the Crandall houses. Barry Buck- ley, one of the owners, was an {early arrival at the scene. He told Ing had stood the most serve tests of oonstruction. The weight of the fallen snow was responsible, he sald, for the crash. Mrs. Dorsey Bush, day telephone eperator at the Garfield Hospital, showed some gdod sense 'and gquick thinking when she was notified of the crash, She. immediately got in touch with nineteen city physicians, outlined the catastrophe to them, and requested them to go to the acene immediately.

Looking for the source of the cries, he saw Dr. and Mrs. Hall, 2601 16th street, buried under debris. He cut them out. Both were only slightly injured. Navy Yard Workers Called. It was after midnight when the rescue workers sent in a hurry cali for men at the Washington navy yard. With their equipment for cutting through steel, all armed with heavy sledge hammers, forty men were in- maediately dispatched in trucks to the theater. Their addition to the force of res- cue workers brought the total well up over 200. By this time marines, soldiers, police, firemen and doctors from every part of Washington, aid- ed by a number of priests and clergy, who had been given hyperdermici equipment to administer to the suf- fering, were working among the; ruins. i Scores were being received at the Emergency Hospital alone, one of the many institutions caring for the suf- ferers. Every available home nearby also sheltered some of those suffer- ing from shock and slight injuries. Pitiful Seene. Here is a picture, one of many seen at the ruins. At the east entrance to the theater, pinned under a two-by- six-inch iron beam, supported by an jron girder, lay a fourteen-year-old boy, moaning.gtill conscious and call- ing feebly for help. ¥or hours six firemen and three civilians, H. L, O'Nelil, A. T. Steck and George H. K Maynard, worked to re- move the boy. He couldn’t give his name audibly. He was moaning teebly, and his white, pinched face urged his rescuers to their task. Afraid to move the supporting girder lest the iron beam fall on the boy, they tried to dig under the boy, inch by inch, using the greatest care. Alll the while the boy watched, pleading with his eves. Early this morning he had not been removed. The general confusion incident to guarding %he ruins of the theater from the crowd was increased when members of the police and the motor corps began a dispute 2s to authority, jand a fight ensued. It was also re- ported that the police and firemen dis- puted the authority of the military guard for a time, adding to the gen- eral mix-up. The District .Commissioners last night issued an order that no mov- ing pictures in the District would be allowed to operate until the snow had been removed from the roof: Inspector Sullivan, acting chiet of police, has notified all captains In the various di ots to enforce the ruling. Calmly Speak to Rescuers. Capt. J. H. Hills, United States Army, and his wife were burled be- neath the debris on the 18th street side. Although badly injured, both were talking calmly to their res- cuers, hacking away at the twisted steel and concrete which covered them. Neither had been taken away ‘at an early hour today. ‘Coroner Nevitt announced he would hold an inquest over the bodies of the dead. . Many Others Belleved Dead. J. E. Kengedy and W. H. Brown of | No. 10 precinct were placed in charge of the improvised morgue in the Christian Science Church. They both did efficient work under difficult cir- cumstances. > Dr. William Comstock Wilson, 1777 Columbia road, was one of the first to arrive on the scene. . He immedi- ately delved into the work of admin- fstering_first aid and help of every port and was assisted by Dr. Grimes of the Peoples’ drug store, across the street from the theater, and Dr. Ment- zel of the Tth and E branch of the drug store. At 2:30 o'clock this morning Dr. Wilson, who has been in the theater virtually every minute since its col- lapse, said - he believed at least seventy-five people were trapped un- der the debris and of this number it appeared to him forty were dead.
