many of the men forgot everything
except their own anxiety to escape
'J’om a possible death in the flain<«»
they thought would soon reach the
< elehration hall They trampled upon
mothers who were trying vainly to
save their little ones They crushed
the life«<^it 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,
one 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 wa»
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
shouted fire said that the breath
blown into the room with the cry
smelled of alcohol.
A Coroner's Jury was impaneled
soon after 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 were aban
doned. j
President Moyer, of the Western
Federation of Miners, to-day wired
.1’resident 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

And Feet in Water Blisters. Would
Fester and Itch. Perfect Cure by
Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
0 —
Thomas ville. Ala. — •• I suffered with
eczema on my hands and feet two or three
years About eleven years ago I became
troubled with an Itching
hurtling eruption which came
on my hands and feet In
little water blisters and in
) about a day or two when 1
would let the water out or
waeh It out, using my hands,
^theu the places would fester
and Itch to beat the hand 1
could not do any work that
was rough on my hands at all. It caused
me great suffering and Inconvenience
“I tried everything that 1 knew of or
"as told and never was really relieved until
1 began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
I would wash the parte in water with the
Cuticura Soap and then when 1 dried them
I would apply the Cuticura Ointment on
the surface In the day time, and at night 1
would get a soft piece of cloth and apply
the Cuticura Ointment on my hands and
let it stay that way all night. A perfect
rure was effected. No one will ever know
how glad I was to get my hands and feet
cured." (Signed) Geo. C. Crook. Nov. 25. 12.

mother who called for the basket;
warm, 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!”
Hut it wasn’t "Merry Christmas"
for those homes alone.
You know (you peoplo who made
the Empty Stocking tragedy a thing
of the past in Atlanta), and we know,
who called on you and saw you re
spond day by day—we know among
us, and it’s all in the family, that the
finest part of all this big Christmas
celebration came Christmas morning
with the realization that THOSE
Kids haven’t got much philosophy,
the way we older ones see it. Our
own philosophy, at the best, is a sorry
sort of grin-and-bear-it affair. The
kids (thank goodness!) haven’t got
that yet.
And (thanking goodness and the
Good Fellows again) there are nearly
a thousand Atlanta kids that won’t
begin studying that tough old phil
osophy Christmas morning in 1913.
You who did this thing don’t want
nnv praise. You didn’t do it for that.
This isn’t by way of praise.
It’s hard to know just what to call
it—an appreciation, or what.
But you surely CAME THROUGH,
you good friends who filled the empty
stockings of Atlanta for Christmas
morning, 1913.
The kids think it’s Santa Claus, of
course. That’s just what they OUGHT
TO THINK.
You won’t frame up a better sys
tem of Christmas philosophy, or a finer
spirit of the peace-and-good-will-on-
earth brand than in filling the empty
stockings of a great city on Christ
mas Day.
You were regular Santa Clauses.
And all the world knows that Santa
Claus is the best sort of a Good Fel
low.
Thank you—
And Merry Christmas!
Say—it doesn’«t look like such a
gloomy day, does it?

Georgian's Christmas
Tree Viewed by Throngs.
The Christmas spirit found a beau
tiful expression in The Georgian and
Sunday American’s Christmas tree
festival on the City Hall plaza Wed
nesday evening.
The tree is the largest and most
profusely decorated In the South. At
dusk Wednesday tt was lighted with
hundreds of electric bulbs. Towering
50 feet in the air with its tinsel and
decorations, it appeared the very giant
of toy land.
Wedemeyer’s Band started the pro
gram at 5 o’clock and when the
crowds had gathered the little chil
dren from the Georgia Baptist Or
phans’ Home at Hapeville, and the
Methodist Decatur Orphans’ Home at
Decatur, began singing Christmas
carols. The newsboys were there, too.
They sang and shouted and danced.
The first concert lasted until 7
o’clock. At 8 o’clock Wedemeyer’s
Band began plaving again and con
tinued until 10 o’clock. The event was
the epitome of the Christmas spirit.
While the beautiful songs of those
little orphans won’t be heard again
Christmas night the tree will again he
lighted. Every little boy and girl in
Atlanta should see it. It is really the
most beautiful Christmas tree ever
seen in Atlanta; hundreds who were
at the festival Wednesday night
said so.
