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.

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?

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.
