LT Te oS? i “THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, in the rescue. They braved the fire and made herolc efforts to save those | who were not dead. \ Practically every ambulance in the eastern part of Clev@and was called, | fas well as every available physician. Many children rescued are believed to be fatally injured, either by fire or from being trampled upon. Scores of children have been taken to city) hospitals. Three little girls met instant death in attempting to jump to safety They were Mary Ridgeway, from the third floor of the burning building. Anna Roh and Gertrude Davis. A man named Dorn, who arrived upon the scene early and at the time the children were crowed in the front door, discovered his little girl ‘among the mass of injured and crushed. He caught the girl by the hands and in his frantic efforts to save her pulled her arms from her body. The panic that had worked such fearful results inside the building spread to the helpless crowd ontside, but only fora brief time. Organized efforts at rescue were soon under way. Firemen played streams upon the| piles of bodies in the doorways and tried to drag out the victims with rakes and other implements. Ambulances and automobiles were soon availablp to take the injured to hospitals. BODIES HEAPED FIVE FEET HIGH. After the fire had been reduced somewhat heaps of charred little bodies , were still vielble in the doorways. In the rear door bodies burned beyond recognition lay piled five feet deep. | A man who reached the school building shortly after the fire broke out declared that the back door was locked. He attempted to break down the; door, but failed to do so, He then smashed in the windows with the ald of some other men and rescued a number of children by dragging them out.| The flames shot up through the central halls with terrible rapidity. It} fs said that the children were terrified beyond all control, and the teachers, | although they struggled br y to marshal their charges out of the building | in something like order, were utterly helpless. | Those who were familiar with the building and were early on the scene | believe that most of the loss of life was due to the fact that all of the rooms } fwere dismissed at once. | Pupils pouring down the stairs made for the doorways already full of children escaping from the lower floors. The exits were soon choked. The | desperate ones behind pushed and struggled for their lives, driving the hu- man wedges the tighter in place. . : FORCED TO WATCH CHILDREN DIE, Neighbors living across the street, who were the first to reach the burning building, said the lower halls were already seething with flames twhen they arrived. They helped out such children as they could reach, but were forced to see many die beyond their aid. | The doors and windows were packed with terrified little ones, whose panic left them helpless to escape. Many children descended the firees- capes, but feared to jump on reaching the bottom. These were pulled down to make room for others. | | Fearful scenes were enacted around the burning schoolhouse. Fathers ALLEGED ANARCHISTS and mothers raved, cursed and prayed. Many tried to break through the | —— crowd, and some got so far as to dash toward the flaming doorways.
