except their own anxiety to ♦•scape
from a possible death in the flames
they thought would soon reach the
celebration hall They trampled upon
mothers who were trying vainly to
save their little ones. They crushed
the life out of infants and weaker
men.
Contrast ,to this action was shown
in the action of some of the cooler
headed miners. John Heikkenen and
Henry Manley were crushed to death
with several children they were try
ing to rescue from the mad rush.
( >ne man was seen to stoop and pick
up a little girl The madly pushing
crowd knocked him from his feet. He
and the child were trampled to death.
A little girl aged about five leaped
from a window to the street, two
stories below, and was practically un
hurt.
Many of the deaths in the panic
were due to suffocation under the
great pile of human bodies. This was
evidenced by the fact that many
bodies bore no mark of injury.
Saloon Is Blamed.
Tracing the man who caused the
panic, private detectives employed by
the mine owners to-day learned that
he came to the hall direct from a
saloon. Persons nearest the door when
he shouted fire said that the breath
blown Into the room with the cry
smelled of alcohol.
A Goroner's jury was impnnel°d
soon ufter midnight and an effort was
made to make a careful Investigation
of the disaster.
All public holiday festivities were
called off to-day. Celebrations in all
private homes in the city were sad
dened and most of them wo re aban
doned.
President Moyer, of the Western
Federation of Miners, to-day wired
President Wilson. Governor Kerris, of
Michigan; Secretary of Labor Wil
son and Secretary Morrison of the
American Federation of Labor, noti
fying them of the disaster. The tele
grams urged immediate State and
national investigations of the occur

The Daylight Corner’
“Co-op Club” of Southern Bell
Makes Merry in Prettily
Decorated Clubrooms.
Tli© member* of the "Co-op Flub”
of the Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany celebrated Christmas Wednes
day with a gorgeous tree In their
clubrooms on the third floor of the
exchange building, at No. 78 South
Pryor street.
There whs a tree, as mentioned,
and fully a cord of Christmas gifts
one for each member of the club from
the club Itself, and a great many
from the members to each other, and
quito a number from friends outside
the exchange.
The big tree would have had to he
ten times larger to hold all the gifts
that were piled in front of it. In all,
there were more than 400 boxes and
packages for the 300 girls who came
filing In, beginning at It o'clock.
Many of the pretty “hello girls"
wore their switchboard gear on their
heads, so ns not to lose more than
necessary time, although the rules fur
the day were not very stringent. The
line didn’t hold well, either, for there
was promptly a breaking a\va\ and a
scattering and an opening of boxes
and packages -and a cross-fire of
conversational pyrotechnics, the like
of which couldn’t have been found
anywhere else in Atlanta.
Everybody was having the -time of
her life, and didn’t care who heard it,
either.
The Co-op Club is one of the few
concerns of the kind that can’t reach
the end of a fiscal year without a
surplus in the treasury. Tt Is com
posed of the operators, who are In
trusted with the management of the
restrooms and cafe on the third floor
of the building, where luncheons may
be had and good ones at 5 cents
and upward, but not so very far up
ward.
At that, the company bearing tho
“overhead expense" for rooms, light,
gas and so on, the Co-op Club always
has money left over at the end of the
year So it gives entertainments, like
this handsome Christmas tree affair.

You won’t frame up a better sys

spirit of the peace-and-good-wdlr-on-

stockings of a great city on Christ

And Merry Christmas!

mother who called for the basket;
wurm, comfortable underwear for her
children; shoes, stockings—and toys.
And that meant no empty stockings
In many hundred homes.
That meant no heart-breaks In the
cold, drizzling dawn of Christmas
morning.
That meant a happiness in the
heart and a glowing warmth in the
body that the chilly gloom of the
morning could not touch.
That meant "Merry Christmas!’’
But It wasn’t “Merry Christmas"
for those homes alone. ,
You know (you people who made
the Empty Stocking tragedy u thing I
of the past In Atlanta), and we know, I
who called on you and saw you re
spond day by day—we know' among I
us, and It’s all in the family, that the j
finest part of all this big Christmas
celebration came Christmas morning j
with the realization that THOSE ;
Kids haven’t got much philosophy. I
the way we older ones see it. Our I
own philosophy, at the best, is a sorry
sort of grin-and-bear-it affair. The
kids (thank goodness!) haven’t got
that vet.
And (thanking goodness and the l
Good Fellows again) there are nearly
a thousand Atlanta kids that won’t j
begin studying that tough old phil- !
