NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THEATER DISASTER Chicago's1 Fire Chief Sas He Is Not to Bhrmc for Inadequate Protection. MORE II ALLS ARE CLOSED

CHICAGO. Jan. 15. Fire Chief Musham to-day disclaimed r- -li.ility for cciiditions at the IrfKjuois Theater in his testimony before a coroner's jury, which Is holding an inquest oyer the bodies of the 571 victims of the Iroquois Theater fire of bee, ). Chief Mushnm declared that, in his opinion, it was the duty of the building commissioner to report to him if the Are protet Hon in the theater was inadequate. No report had ever been made to him, and he had taken no action in the matter. It had never been the custom of the fire department to inspect theaters or public buildings for fire protection unless a report had been made from the office of the building commissioner. Building 'ommlssioner Williams previously had testified that it was not the business of his office to report on Are protection, but that it was a matter entirely belonging to the fire department. Chief Musham declared that there was nothing he would not do to save lives, and that If he had in any way failed in his duty It was only because he hail administered affairs of his deprtment in the same manner as had prevailed since the fire department existed In Chicago. Seventeen halls were closed to-day by order of City Building Commissioner Williams. Noneomplia nee with city ordinances was the reason assigned. "I want It understood also," said Commission r Williams, "that the building ordinance Is to be enforced to the last letter, so far as this department is able, with its small force, to euforce lt. I believe that It will practically close up all Chicago to enforce the law. but nevertheless we are going to do It. Factories, churches, schools, hospital and business establishments will all come under the ban of the building law If the ordinance provisions are insisted upon. Mayor Harrison has known that as well as I. and has told the council so. Hut the law is now being enforced as fast as inspectors can discover violations and such will be the rule from this time on." Orders were issued by the commissioner this afternoon to close six more churches for failure to comply with the building ordinance. Importe County Woman Minnlng. LAPORTE. Ind., Jan. 15. It is suspected that another victim of the Iroquois Theater fire was Mrs. Milton Howell, of Westville, Laporte county. Mrs. Howell went to Chicago to visit friends and was down town on the afternoon of the fire, since which time she has nut Ik en hefrd of. Her Chicago friends supposed she had returned to her home, and her Westville relatives sunposed she wa9 still In Chicago. It is thought she was among the unidentified dead or was erroneously Identified. An immediate search will be made for her body.

CHAMBERLAIN Liberals Carry Conservative Stronghold by Big Plurality Both Farties Astounded. LONDON. Jan. 15 The bye election in Norwick for a successor to the late Sir Henry Bullard resulted In the free-traders gaining the seat. The vote was as follows: Tillen. Liberal. S.576; Wild, Unionist, 6.756; Roberts. Labor. 2.410. The result of the election astounds Mr. Chamberlain and the Liberal party. It has bann a safe Conservative seat for so many years that, even allowing for an increase In the Liberal vote, the fact of a labor candidate appearing in the field and dividing the Liberal vote was held to Insure a Conservative victory. That the free-traders returned such an overwhelming majority Is the worst blow Mr. Chamberlain has received since the opening of his camiaign. L. J. Tillett. who won the scat, Is a young and energetic politician, but never before has contested a seat In Parliament.

GAMBLERS BESIEGED II mmja his posse Both Sides Kept Up a Heavy Rifle Fire Most of the Night Truce Agreed To. CARDS CAUSED TROUBLE ST. PA I'D, Minn., Jan. 15. A special from Blackduck, Minn., says: Great excitement prevailed all last nipht In Kelliher, a new border town at the terminal of the Minnesota & International Railroad, twenty miles north of here. The trouble began in a shooting affair Id a gambling house over B game of cards. The house was surrounded all night by a score of armed men, who were trying to get a man named Plummer and a woman who had driven the proprietor of th'1 house from the place and then began to "shoot the place up." The Town Council assembled and called for volunteers. Each man was furnished with a gun and a quart bottle of whisky, the latter as a stimulant against the cold. Then the house was riddled with bullets from without and within. The town marshal was slightly wounded. The couple in the house fired at every one who came within range until late In the right, when the besieged sent up a rla;; of truce. The town marshal, accompanied by some of his posse, started for the house, but was told only one was wanted at a time. A truce was arranged until morning. The besieged th 11 took turns at watching and sleeping, and occasionally a shot could be heard. In the meantime the sheriff from Beveridge was summoned and he Is expected to arrive to-nigh t.

HELD tURLl SESSION Pinta Presented Case of Expelled Members at St. Louis in Six-Hour Speech. CHARGES OF BAD FAITH CINCINNATI, Jan. 15. At the convention of the International Association of Boot and Shoe Workers to-day lr. Pinta occupied all the afternoon session as well as most of the morning in presenting the side of the members expelled at St. Louis. He was on the floor six hours, four of which were used in presenting documentary and other evidences and the closing hours in answering questions. Prior to the revoking of nine charters at St. Louis Pinta was business agent of the St. Louis council and with others was afterwards expelled by "the pasjsjrsj officers at Boston. In his statement he charged President Tobin, Vice President Lovely and Organizers C. J. McMorrow and F. A. Sleberman with collusion with H. M. Eaton, formerly secretarytreasurer of the international union, after Eaton had become superintendent of the Hamilton & Brown factory at St. Louis. He was especially severe on McMorrow. who drew up the contract, and with Sleberman, who executed It at St. Louis, and he extended his charges to the general officers being In collusion with tne bosses at other factories. He insisted that A. J. Lawrence, business agent of the new, or "rebt llious" council, had been discharged by Johansen Brothers because he was a Socialist, when he was not the last cutter that had been put at work there, and insisted that the general officers would not help reinstate him or others who had been discharged for like causes. McMorrow opened the erOSS-SXamtnalion of Pinta In a most caustic manner, insisting that Pinta had himself Indorsed the contract, and that council and locals had both Indorsed it. Siebcrman's questions were aimed to indicate that Pinta had lost faith in the general officers after they insisted on him complying with contracts. Pinta ..sponded by charging Sleberman with working up a case against him and having him thrown out of the union before the convention met. Vice President Lovely charge. 1 Pinta with breaking contracts and other irregulaiiti s. and Presidi nt Tobin questioned him as to the drinking during the sessions of the St. Louis council and as to "the Buffaloes. " known as the Socialists, in that council. Several del-Kates sharply asked why the St. Louis men had joined the Western Labor Union before this convention was held, where th y wert t- have a final hearing. As Lawrence and Motto, of St. Louis, are still to be heard, it is thought that the St. Louis case will occupy most of the time to-morrow, and that the case will be continued into next week.

Discussion of the recent disturbances on the Bourse du Travail occupied the whole of an exciting sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to-daj which ended by a vote of confidence in the government by 295 to 234. Premier Combes, replying to the criticism of the Socialist deputies upon the conduct of the police during the disturbances, admitted that the police lost their heads and committed serious errors, adding that M. Lepine, the prefect of police, claimed sole responsibility for the action of his men. Members of the opposition demanded that Premier Combes either indorse or disavow Prefect Leplne, Deputy Ferette movinsr the order of the day pure and simple as an indication that the Chamber was not willing to accept a responsibility which the Cabinet declined. The motion was carried by a large majority, thus leaving the situation somewhat ambiguous. M. Sembat. Socialist, reopened the question indirectly by moving that the Chamber request the government to insist that the police respect the laws. M. Combes replied that he would see that the law was respected in future and after further rather acrimonious discussion the premier demanded a positive vote of confidence, which he obtained without a division. In answer to several questions the premier gave assurance that Prefect Lepine would be retained in office. Amerlrnn lirt "Vol Out. LONDON. Jan. 16.-The Times'?

I IDCIU! HT TARIFF COMMITTEE First Meeting Held to Take Up Work of Devising New Trade Policy for England. HAD LARGE ATTENDANCE LONDON, Jan. 15.-Joseph Chamberlain presided at the first meeting of the tariff committee which assembled here this afternoon with a large attendance of members, including Henry Chaplin (formerly president of the Board of Agriculture and formerly president of the local government board); Sir Robert Herbert (formerly Under-Secretary f state for the colonies, and at one time agent general for Tasmania); Sir Alfred Jones (president of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce and president of the Liverpool Shipowners' Association); C. A. Pearson (the well-known newspaper proprietor)and Alfred Moseley (who has sent two commissions to the United States to inquire into trade and educational conditions in that country. Mr. Chamberlain, in opening the proceedings, made an eloquent and inspiring speech, during which he drew a parallel from what the Uulted States and Germany had accomplished under protective tariffs and denied that any tariff could be framed here which, as its opponents alleged, would make the rich richer ao:d the poor poorer. The United States, under protection, had reached prosperity unequaled in the world, In no other country was wealth so evenly distributed, while there was no country in the world where such a large proportion of the population was on the verge of hunger and distress as In Great Britain. Mr. Chamberluin said the object of the commission wns not to formulate tariff laws, but to investigate and inquire with open mind. All that had thus far been decided was that the policy adopted so many years ago required reform. At the conclusion of Mr. Chamberlain's speech the commission discussed a general method of procedure. On motion of Mr. Chamberlain Mr. Pearson was unanimously elected vice chairman. A general purpose committee was then appointed. It includes among Its members Charles Booth, of the firm of Alfred Booth & Co.. of Liverpool, and former president of the Royal Statistical Society; Sir Vincent Caillard, president of the London agency of the National Bunk of Egypt and formerly financial representative of Great Brl:nin, Holland and Belgium In Constantinople; Frederick L. Harris, M.
