CLEV common schooi building in Collinwood, 2=LAND, March 4.—In a fire which completely destroyed the a suburb, to-day 180 chil dren are thought to have lost their lives. At 2.20 this afternoon 146 bodies had been taken out of the ruins, and it was believed there were still more to be taken out as many children are reported missing. Frank P. Whitrey, of dead at 180. The pupils were mostly very young Supt. of the school, estimates the number children, ranging in age from nine to twelve. Of the nine teachers of the school eight are accounted for. The one missing is Katherine Weiler, of Cleveland. Grace Fiske, of East Cleveland, another teacher, was burned to death. Ss cores of others were injured inthe wild rush of the 400 pupils from the various class rooms, and many of these were rescued as the flames menaced them. There were only two exits from the building, and while the little ones fought to escape through these the lower floor fell, precipitating many into the cellar, which was like a bhizing furnace. Hundreds of men, many of whom had children attending the school, ran from their work and succeeded in saving many of the pupils, but the building was soon a mass of flames, and the walls fell in while they and the firemen were at the work of rescue. Most of the little victims were buried in the ruins, The scenes at the fire were wild and pathetic as the parents of the children crowded about shouting for their loved ones and running | through the throngs of the surviving pupils in search of their own, The blaze started in the basement, and in addition to filling the school rooms with smoke, which caused the first alarm, leaped up tfe stairway to the first, second and third floors. When the children rushed from their rooms to the hallways they rushed into a fiery furnace. It was in the hallways and at the main exit where the greatest number met death. The hallways were narrow, and could not accommodate the large number that attempted to rush through them to reach the main door. The fire was started by an overheated furnace. The flames quickly spread, but a panic ensued when the building filled with smoke and the 400 children attermpted to escape. There were but two exits in the building that were avilable. One of These exits was used freely by the children, but the other soon became choked with the childrén, who, madly dashed tor the open air.
