MAYOR’S COMMITTEE REPORTS ON CHICAGO THEATER FIRE.

A technical report allowing the condition of the Iroquois Theater as far aa appliances for saving life and extinguishing fire were concerned, has been presented to Mayor Harrison by members of the five organizations of builders and architects appointed by him to examine into the cause and origin of the fire. The report follows: “Carter If. Harrison, Mayor of the City of Chicago—Sir: “In compliance with your request of the 81st ult., to make a thorough examination of the Iroquois Theater and of the causes leading up to the terrible disaster of Wednesday, Dec. 30, 1903, we have made a careful investigation; have examined: many witnesses, and bbg to submit herewith an outline of our conelusions and summary of the same, together with a copy of the testimony we have taken. “We find the primnry cause to have been sparks or heat from an electric arc, projector, spot or flood light, igniting drapery back of the proscenium arch some distance above the stage floor. “We further find that the fire extended on account of lack of inadequate means at hand to extinguish it, the kilryre proving ineffective, and there being provided no vertical standpipes containing water under pressure and connected with hose on hose racks at convenient locations on flies and bridges, ner automatic sprinkI lers, and no hooks which could have been used to tear down the burning portion of the scenery. “We further find that the fire spread to the auditorium in consequence of the fire curtain not operating effectively and because pf delay in attempting to operate the same until the fire had obtained some headway. It may have been obstructed by some projection or on account of defective oi>eratiug devices, or in consequence of friction against the brick proscenium wall, due to expansion of air or | gases resulting from burning scenery and [ from stnge doors being open, f “The gases produced by the fire being highly heated and thus made much lighter than the cold outer air, were forced upward by the inrush of the air through the stage door, and, finding no opening above the stage, were forced into the auditorium and compelled to find escape at the top of the house, following natural laws, the action being similar to large, open, oirl-fnsliioned fireplaces, with the flue closed, the proscenium arch corresponding to the fireplace opening and the space over the stage to the wails of the flue. “We further find that the loss of life was due: First, to panic, coupled with the fact that exits were not designated. Steps were found placed at door openings, and numerous doors were locked or bolted with devices not familiar to the I general public. All exits were not manI ned. Independent gallery stairs, required by law, were closed against exit by a I dead locked door at the foot of the top | flight. The arrangement of these stairs wns of faulty construction as to width, I pitch, turns and railings. The outer iron I alley shutters, not being opened and swung back against the wall before the performance, were opened later during the panic, and prevented people from continuing down the fire escape on account of the crossbars getting caught on the railing of the fire escape, thus effec- . tually blocking the passage. "Second cause was asphyxiation, due I to the first hot blast of smoke und gases from the stage. “Third cause wns on account of exits being blockaded as a result of people falling, and on account of the fact that fire escapes from upper exits passed lower exits out of which flames were bursting.”

GOES TO ST. LOUIS.

Democratic National Convention Will Meet on July 6. The next Democratic national convention will meet in St. Louis on Wednesday, July 6. The world’s fair city won the prize, when the natioual committee, in session at Washington, on the second ballot, by a vote of 28 to 21, decided against Chicago. On this ballot all of the New York votes but one went to St. Louis, thus deciding the contest. A Washington dispatch says that so far as political significance is concerned, the selection of St. Louis seems to indicate that Mr. Gorman's friends are on the defensive, because they turned to St. Louis out of fenr of the possibility of a stampede to Hearst in Chicago. The supporters of New York joined in this.movement, but they were largely Gorman men. The Parker boom assumed considerable proportions during the deliberations of the committee, and if the pulse of the national committee is any indication of the circulation of blood in the party at large the New York judge has decidedly the best chance for the nomination.

that could be used when the escapes were once reached, the persons responsible for the care of the scenery during the play were absent from their posts, the asbestos curtain was made of exceedingly flimsy material—so flimsy, in fact, that it would probably have been little protection had it been entirely lowered, there were no sprinklers, there was no flue over the stage to create a draft away from the auditorium should a fire start, the skylights were nailed down, the building ordinances bad been repeatedly plated in placing chairs and in narrowing the aisles far under the limit, and there were many other things of like flature: On the first floor, the exits to be used in case of emergency were not only shut but bolted, and evidence of neglect und evasion were visible in all parts of the theater. And.this in a playhouse which lias been called the very best in the country. As soon us it seemed probable that the horror could have been averted but for a neglect of duty, twenty men were arrested on the charge of manslaughter. They included stage hands, stage manager, electrician, carpenters and several actors, the last named being connected in a criminal way because of things they did while the tire was in progress. Sub-

PLAN OF THE INTERIOR OF THE IROQUOIS THEATER.

sequeutly Will J. Davis and Harry J. Powers, resident managers of the Iroquois, were taken into custody on the same charge, and released under SIO,OOO bonds. First Expert Testimony. Members of the coroner’s jury and the officials of the Iroquois inquest have been astounded by the evidence of utter incompetence, criminal neglect and proof of violation of existing laws for the protection o i human life bcwight out during the examination of witnesses. Robert E. Murray, engineer of the theater building, in effect told the jury that the possibility of fire or panic in the new playhouse had never been considered by the management so far as the taking of precautions was concerned. No arrangements had beeu mode and no instructions given for the protection of patrons of the theater. The evidence showed that there were four standpipes in the building, but only n single fiftyfoot piece of hose; there were exits, but they were not marked; there was no fire alarm box on the premises and ventilators were in working order, but nobody operated .them. The witness told one long story of pitiful neglect. At a dozen points in his testimony those who beard it were struck with the fact that one man with a thorough understanding of his business in charge of the employes of the theater, including the engineer, would have made the playhouse a safe place for public attendance. His testimony was the first expert testimony concerning the inner workings of the theater force that had been submitted. Gates of Death. George Duseuberry, superintendent of the auditorium off the Iroquois Theater, admitted on the witness stand there was utter lack of discipline at the theater, and he divulged that at least one exit was locked, that two iron gates across stairways were dobed and that there was no way for people (o exits. Superintendent under a fire of questions for lie acknowledged that *'he kept in his pos session the only keys to certain balcony doors and gates. Before he loft the witness stand his information had tedded greatly to clear away the situation that existed in the theater prevbJiisPto the fire. On his testimony that city building inspectors regularly visited, and that Inspector Willllini':tsiijefau was in the auditorium, supposedly; in his official capacity, a few ifthraWbefore the ire, a subpoena was issued for Curran.

had been widely advertised as being absolutely fireproof, people began to ask who was to blame und the Mayor appointed nu investigating committee almost before the fire was extinguished. A thorough examination of the building was made and crimin a I carelessness seemed, apparent at almost every turn. The fire escape exits were hidden vfith hangings, there was no means of opening the doors, there

- , -——- were no ladders

A double set of iron gatM at tha torn In the great marble staircase, near where the dead were found piled a dozen deep, held back the fleeing audience and reduced by half the avenue* of escape. Heavy padlocks kept the gates in place. These gates are not provided for in the plans of the structure filed with the building department and were pat np without a permit from the authorities. They do not appear in any of the reports. " Members of the coroner’s jury laughed in the face of Inspector Curran, the first public official called to the stand with a view. to showing the eity’a share of responsibility for the Iroquois holocaust. Building Commissioner Williams, his superior, who was present during part of the testimony, left the Council chamber in disgust The inspector’s examination reflected so seriously upon the competence and management of the building department that at the request of the foreman of the jury the coroner later summoned

GEO. W. DUSENBERRY.

the head of that branch of the public service to take the stand. It was apparent that Curran’s testimony had opened the way for a merciless probe of the building commissioner’s office. Curran is the building inspector who visited the Iroquois Theater just before the fire and pronounced everything in order. He told the coroner he had no real business there and had just dropped in. In fact, the most rigid examination failed to discover exactly where the inspector did have business. He showed ignorance pf the most ordinary duties of his office. He was equally uncertain in regard to' the responsibilities of other employes of the department. In the face of liis testimony he confessed to having been on tlie pay roil sixteen out of the last eighteen years. Williams Confesses Laxity, Building Commissioner Williams, Dep-

uty Commissioner Stanhope and Inspector William Curran indicted the building department fbr gross inefficiency, negligence and ignorance in their frank admissions before the coroner’s jury. The lack of knowledge on the part of Commissioner Williams regarding the construction of the building and its equipment was only equaled by his frank admissions of ignorance regarding the stipulations of the building ordinance. He even asserted lie had not beeu familiar with the theater laws until he had made a study of them after the fire. The records of the buildiug commissioner’s office, by his admissions, consist not even of adequate notes. Mr. Williams acknowledged that he had never received an official detailed report of the inspection of the Iroquois Theater and never had made an inspection of the completed theater himself. Although the entire theater had been erected, with (he exception of driving the piles, since Mr. Williams’ appointment by Mayor Harrison lie admitted he had uever examined the plans of the building.

According to his own testimony, tha head of the building department did not ask a single question in regard to the structure or its equfpinent or appliances for the safety of the public. It was brought out that the eighteen inspectors reported to no one in particular aud that they were not instructed as to their duties. They were assigned to certain territories, it seemed, and wero allowed to do much ns they pleased. No inspections of theaters as to overcrowding and the handling of the crowds according to the ordinances, or as to fire equipment or provisions for exits, were made in a regular way. It was said by the witnesses that any inspection of the theaters was voluntary with the inspectors, and the inference from the testimony was that the inspectors went more to see the show than for any other reason.

Williams had not read the building ordinances as they, concern theaters until after the Iroquois fire. Cross-examined by Assistant State’s Attorney Barnes, Williams admitted that he had failed to perform nearly every doty required of him by the ordinance. He pleaded too much work and not enough money to employ assistants. I Williams did not know nntii after th« fire that the Iroquois Theater was violating nearly every one of the ordinances made for the safeguarding of patrons^

A Physician's Statement.

Torktown, Ark., Jan. 11.—Leland Williamson, M. D., one of our cleverest physicians, has made a statement, indorsing Dodd’s Kidney Pills and saying that he uses theji in his dally practice in preference to any other kidney medicine. His statement has created a profound sensation, as it is somewhat unusual for a physician to publicly indorse anything in the shape of a patent medicine. Dr. Williamson says: “After twenty years’ practice In a sickly and malarious country I have come to the conclusion that it ia always best to use the remedy that will relieve and cure my patients whether ethical or not “I have used Dodd’s Kidney Pills with uniform success Jn the various forms of Kidney Disease, Pain in the Back, Gout, Rheumatism, Inflammation and Congestion of the Kidneys and all kindred diseases; I always prescribe Dodd’s Kidney Pills in such cases and can testify that they invariably restore the Kidneys to their normal state and thereby relieve the blood of accumulated poisons, producing prompt and effective cures.”

A Historic Locomotive.

The Novelty, one of the three locomotives constructed over seventy years ago as a result of a competition promoted by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway company, has just been discovered at Rainhill, Lancashire, says the London Express. The three engines which took part In the 1830 triala were the Rocket, constructed by Stephenson; the Sans Pareil, by Harkworth, and the Novelty by Masers. Brtithwaite & Erlccson. The Rocket obtained the premium of fSOO as the most suitable locomotive to run on the line, having attained a speed of twinty-nine miles per hour. The greatest speed of the Sans Pared was less than twenty-three miles and the Novelty had covered only three miles when the joints of the boiler gave way. At that time the Rainhill Gas and Water company’s premises, which ad: join the railway at Rainhill station, were occupied by Mr. Ericsson ns engineering wtrks, Ericsson and Melling being friends. The former left the Novelty there after its failure to gain the prize. The Rocket and the Sans Pareil are both in South Kensington museum, but the whereabouts of the Novelty could not be traced until recently, when It was found still working as a-stationary engine, the wheels having been removed. This interesting relic will, in all probability, be placed side by side with Its contemporaries at South Kensington.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

~1 R. G. Duu A Co.'s Chicaoo Weekly Revisw of Trade ** * says: Business generally entered upon another year's activity under less unfavorable conditions than were feared, and the outlook seems less apprehensive. Large forces of men are gradually finding re-employment, although at lower wages, aud as few objections are urged to readjustments now being enforced by employers, serious labor controversies are not looked tor. The volume of current dealings in staple lines is satisfactory. Retail trade has been good in seasonable necessities, and the wholesale branches report steady demand in dry goods, elothiug and shoes. Advices from country dealers are of an encouraging character. New buildings and other heavy improvements contemplated promise a larger use of lumber and materials. Other elements of strength arc-strong buying of foodstuffs at higher prices, an ample supply of money for legitimate enterprise, and an absence of striking mercantile defaults. With the resumption of work in the iron and steel mills there is sssnrance of employment for many months. Grain shipments aggregate 2,359,566 bushels, an increase of 10.03 per cent over s year ago. A wider fall of snow has protected a larger area of winter wheat. Increased values induced freer marketing of grain. Compared with the closing a week ago, corn advanced 1% cents and oats apd wheat each 1 cent. Live stock receipts were 330.588 head, against 359,357 a year ago. Supplies do not show the increase looked for. Shipping demand for heavy bogs aud the best sheep wns urgent at nn advance in egd* of 10 cents per hundredweight V.

ly because of the bnd weather, which also retarded collections to some extent Traffic was impeded and shipments of merchandise delayed. On the other hand, low temperature stimulated the demand for seasonable goods and burdensome stocks in the handb of dealers were reduced. Jobbers and manufacturers in those lines received supplementary orders and the wool market became firmer In tone, although actual sales did not increase materially. Mills and factories report irregular conditions, some industries opening the new year under very favorable auspices, while other branches are extremely qniet. Latest returns of railway earnings for December are 5.4 per cent above those of la><f year. Iu the leading manufacturing industry the year opens with quiet conditions as to demand, but much irregularity in the matter of wages. Numerous reductions went into effect and several others are contemplated. During the last quarter net earnings of the leading producers were less than half those of the corresponding months of 1902, and similarly unsatisfactory exhibits were made by other concerns. These official returns indicate the heavy contraction in this industry, aud there was a very large decrease in orders on hand at the opening of the year. Failures this week in the United States are 400, against 232 last week, 284 the preceding week and 350 the corresponding week last year. Failures in Canada number 37, against 17 last week, 22 the preceding week and 24 last year.*
