CLEVELAND. Ohio, Msroh 5.—Sov-
,ral more charred corpses were brought
out of the ruins of the Colllngwood
school this morning. It Is now certain
that jke dead In -this terrible holocaust
will reach nnd even surpass the num
ber of J00. ' *
The searchers have not penetrated to
all parts .of the basement, but expect
to do to this afternoon.
. A stream of heart-broken women
went thru the morgue this morning,
looking carefully at the charred bodies,
shaking their heads and paiklng on.
Immediately after an Inspection,
which failed to result In finding the
body of a son or {laughter, a woman
would Join tho throng In front of the
ruins and await tho finding of other
bodies. .
One hundred and seventy-one bodies
have been taken from the ruins.
Janitor Testifies.
A conference ovum held this morning
by Deputy Flrd Marshal Brockman,
James Ilauder, president of the board
of education; Coroner Burke and Fred
Herter. the Janitor.
Janitor Herter testified that the first
knowledge he had of the fire was from
a young girl In tho basement. Herter
raid:
"I ran up stairs nnd gave the signal
for fire drill—three taps of tho gong.
Then I threw open all of the doors
leading to the .outside of the building.
These consisted of two double pairs of
Boors In the from and rear of the build
ing. After that I did all In my power
to ild In rescuing pupils."
Stairway Crushed Many.
The testlmqpy as* to which way the
rear doors opened Is conflicting. The
plans of the school show the rear doors
opening out, not In. Whether they
were built according to the plan Is vary
much In dispute. The evidence la, of
course, destroyed..
According to the story of one lad
who is dying In the hospital, the stair
way to the second floor fell In, bury
ing many helpless little ones In the
blazing debris.

WASHINGTON, March 5s—Declar
ing that tyie ways and means commit
tee, either knowingly or In Ignorance,
haa been a party to “gigantic Bchemes
of plunder," Representative Hitchcock,
of Nebraska, yesterday told his col
leagues In the house that the paper
trust wrote into* the Dlngley bill the
paper schedule; that the lumber tcuiit
wrote the lumber schedule, the nteel
trust thg ateel schedule and other trusts
tho schedules affecting their respective
Interests. He particularly attacked the
paper trust.
■ Ho declared and substantiated his
declaration by the printed records that
the newspaper proprietors had vigor
ously protested fagalnst the proposed
tariff on wood pulp and paper at the
time the Dlngley bill was under con
sideration and that their representa
tives before the ways and means com
mittee dally warned .Mr. Payne’s com
mittee that the paper manufacturers
were seeking the tariff aa a shelter un
der which to create a great print paper
tnist
He said' that former Congressman
Russell, a paper manufacturer; former
Senator Warner Miller and H. J. Chis
holm, of Maine, all had spoken before
the committee*in advooacy of the tariff,
and he charged that six month* after
the Dlngley law went Into effect the
International Paper Company was lif-
(rm
cprporated with the three gentlemen as
its highest officers.
The reAl object of those who had se
cured the Dlngley tariff on paper, he
declared, was to capitalize the water
power and spruce forests of the United
States, form a great monopoly, and
raise the price of print paper In Amer
ica.
