CINEMA CATASTROPHE.
INVESTIGATION PROCEEDIN' G. [By Electric Cable —Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Tuesday, 10 p.m.) WASHINGTON, January 30. Congress and the foreign diplomats were deeply stirred in regard to the cinema tragedy (113 deaths have now been reported). The French, Japanese and Dutch Diplomatic Corps sent letters to Senator Hughes expressing their sorrow, while a resolution was introduced in the Senate by Colonel House calling for an investigation. The Federal Grand Jury began its investigation on the spot while the rescuers continued digging, which was carried on for 36 hours without pause. The President called off various celebrations in Washington, which is now a city of gloom.
