Protests Mere numerous, but the building commissioner was inflexible. He said: "Many of these halls are worse than any theater in Chicago: some of them nre put up with no restrictions such as govern theaters and many of them are fire-traps of the worst kind." Mayor Harrison and seven aldermen who have Leer appointed members of the city council committee to control legislation in relation to theiters met with the theater managers, very 'play house In Chicago, excepting the (reat, Northern, being represented. The managers asked if they could not open their Louses and sell seats uion the lower floor only, but the mayor and aldermen decided positively against It. It was declared that all place must remain closed until the ordinance requirements had been fully m?t. The horror has not only had the effect of stirring up tin? officials cf Chicago, but ntws from all the large Cities Is to the effect that the authorities are inspecting and condemning all sorts of buildings that are not considered safe.

IIA KD OX TI1K SHOW PEOPLE Fifteen , Tboaaml of Them Marie Idle by Closing of Uoues. Chicago. Jan. 5. The closing down of Chicago theaters by order of Mayor Harrison has caused paralysis of business in many directions.- Three thousand actors, stage hands, and people who depend directly on the theaters for a living are idle, with no hope of employment for probably a fortnight. Restaurants that cater to the theatrical audiences have laid off manyemployes. The hotels are complaining, and traffic on the street railways has fallen off at night. The members of the "Blue Beard" Theatrical company, permitted by the police to leave for New York, were followed by the "Billionaire" company. The following companies are still in Chicago: "Yankee Consul", "The Pit", "The Bostonians", and John Drew's "fecond In Command". The "Silver Slipper" company has arrived, billed for the HlinoU theater. Mrs. Fiske's company, which was to play at the tJrand Opera House, has also arrived. It is estimated that 15.000 persona will suffer from the mayor's closing order, of w lie m 1,200 are actors, 350 ushers, 500 electricians and stage bands. 400 cab drivers, 200 waiters, 25 printers, and 100 bill posters. The loss in receipts at the thirty-five theaters will total 18,000 per day. PENALTY FOB HIS HUMANITY Ecttaurant Keeper Faces Rain Because, lie Had m Heart. Chicago, Jan. 5. John R. Thompson, the proprietor of the restaurant which adjoins the Iroquois theater on the east, has lost the greater portion of his business since the fire. On the day of the disaster Thompson threw open his restaurant for the bodies of the dead and woimded as they were carried out. of the theater. He summoned nurses and doctors, procured medical supplies, and did everything that it was iossible for a man to do In alleviating the horror of the catastrophe. His valuable and disinterested services were widely advertised in the papers, with the result of practically driving all his patrons away. He has caused all of the tables to be removed and destroyed, and has taken away all portable furnishings that could remind customers of the fire4 but the fact remains that people stay away, from his restaurant, and he Is paying a heavy price for the services he rendered to the public last Wednesday afternoon. ANOTHER FACT DISCOVERED Emergency Light System Provided, but Not Used New Curtain Story. Chicago, Jan. 6. City Building Commissioner Williams- has been given information by Architect Marshall which may place the blame for tb Iroquois theater being thrown into darkness during the panic. The architect showed the commissioner that there was an emergency switch near the entrance of the house, to be used In just such an accident as occurred. There was a separate system of wires, and bad any employe who knew of it had the presence of mind to turn the switch the entrance and hallways would have been illuminated. , Two womcfi who sat within a few feet of the stage when the fire broke out in the Iroquois theater state that there was apparently no attempt to lower the asbestos curtain, and that it was merely the regular drop cur tain painted with an autumn scene and made of common canvas that was run down. This curtain, say the wit nesees, instead of resisting the fire' immediately, blazed up, and with the "grease paint" sizzling and sputtering threw great pieces of fire Into the faces In the andiene.

DECISION First Point in the Came at Omaha Won by the Senator Who Is Accused. IUDICTZENT IS DEAD riULTY One the Government Had Hanked on . and Prepared for Is Thrown Out of Court. Omaha, Neb..' Jan. o. A legal battle prefaced the trial in the federal court of the United States Senator Deitrich, charged with alleged conspiracy with Jacog IFsher, postmaster spirncy with Jacob Fisher, postmaster at Hastings. Xeb.. to violate the statute against bribery, and also with the direct violation of that law,' In which counsel for Senator Dietricü scored the first victory. This point was on a' demurrer filed by General Cove In to the indictment, attacking Its sufficiency and alleging that it would have the effect of placing the senator on trial twice on the same charge. This point was bitterly contested by opposing counsel. Assistant District Attorney Rush, an.'uing.for the government After two TTours consideration Judge Van Devanter announced for the court that the demurrer was sustained. In hi opinion Judsre Van Devanter said: "We have considered the demurrer to the indictment in this case. United State vs. Charles II. Dietrich and Jacob Fisher, wherein it 1 attempted to charge a "conslpmcy under section r440 of the revised statutes of the United States. The conspiracy charged is tl:at -the defendants conspired and agreed to violate section 1781 of the revised statutes of the United States. In that Dietrich, a senator In congress, agreed with Fisher to receive from the latter $l.ni for assisting the latter to secure the oßice of. postmaster at Hasting. Neb., and that Fisher agreed to give Dietrich said sum of $1.300 for this service. As Viewed by the Jolge "The indictment Is challenged by a demurrer upon the ground that agreeing to receive a bribe tnd agreeing to give one under such circumstances are acts specifically prohibited by section 1781. and that therefore such an agree ment is taken out of and excepted from the general section If sec tion 17S1 was in terms confined to prohibiting the Teceipt of such a bribe by a member of congress and the giv ing of such a bribe by an applicant for oflice. or other person, then .we would be of the opinion that the Indictment In chargingaconslpracy or agree ment to do that which is prohibited would charge an offense pnnishable by section 5440: but since section 1781 In terms prohibits an agreement to accept or give such a bribe, as well as the acceptance or payment thereof, we are of the opinion that such an agree ment between the brlge taker and the brile giver cannot be made the sub ject of a prosecution for conspiracy under section f440, but must be dealt with by separate prosecutions under section 1781" Where the Error Comes In. - "Our view is, therefore, that this in dictment does not charge an offense under section W40, but doe In terms charge Dietrich with the offense of agreeing to receive, and Fisher with the offense of agreeing to give, the bribe named, each of which Is, without more, a distinct offense under section 1781. It is also our view that these two distinct offenses against separate defendants cannot be embodied in one indictment. The indictment thus im properly joins two distinct offenses by two separate individuals, which should be prosecuted separately " Derision Considered a Precedent. This decision, which Is considered an important one. is held to be a pre cedent in the matter of indictments In conspiracy chses. In effect the opinion is that the law is at fault in provid ing. In addition to the actual taking and giving of bribes, an "agreement" to take and give bribes. Knock Out the Government's Case. In effect the ruling on the demurrer by J idge Van Devanter quashes the indictment against Senator Dietrich, charging conspiracy. . It was on this Indictment that the government had prepared itself for trial, and to testify In which a large number of witnesses had been subpoenaed and were pres ent In the city.

In their cases a great deal of work of training is to conquer natural propensities, whereas with the beagle you encourage him to go on and do all he can In seeking and chasing when found. Young dogs are usually put down with an older one, and a very few lessons suffice. It comes as natural to a beagle to run scent as for a terrier to kill rats, and If there Is no apparent Inclination one lesson usually provokes it The less one Interferes with a beagle running a line the better f cr the dc, so lonj as he is not potter ing In one well tested place, but castisj ail about when he bra lest the trail.

DAMAGE SUITS BEGIN

The first damage suit against the proprietors of the Iroquois theater and the city of Chicago glowing out of the fire has been tiled by Ivy Owens, as administrator of the estates of Miss Amy Owens and Mrs. Frances K. Owen, her mother. The action is for the recovery of $10,000 damages, and Is directed against the Iroquois Theater company, the city of Chicago, and Will J. Davis and Harry J. Powers, managers of the the ater. Miss Owens was a teacher In the Curtis public school. . As te the IroqaeU fetale Skylight. Foreman Jones, of the Fuller Con struction company, said by witnesses to have smashed In the skylight of the theater after the fire, has been found 1 fact he was not lost and examined in connection with the story that an attempt was made to destroy evidence. When it was known that he was want ed he was in the presence of those desiring to see him in a very brief time. He is said to have stated that he and fome workmen were on the roof of the sta;e the day after the lire on a pass issued by Assistant Police Chief Schuetller to look around to see if the building were safe for those who would be much in it during an Inves tigation. "We found some overhanging bits of heavy glass Jor.es Is said to have related, "and moved them for fear that they would fall on some one. The skylights on the roof were disarranged also, but only for the purpose of making it impossible for material to drop' down upon searchers below." Another Curtain Theory. Joseph A. Daugherty. who tried to lower the asbestos curtain on the fatil day, provided Attorney Fulkcrson. of the tire department, with a niw theory of the curtain's failure to work. Daugherty declared that during a matinee performance two weeks ago a fire broke out on the Iroquois stage, but wasextinguished. On that occasion, Daugheity said, an attempt to lower the tire curtain resulted in its striking a plank used as a platform from which to operate a ''sjot" light. The same plank was in place the day of the disaster, said Daugherty. Daugherty declared his belief tuat the descend ing curtain struck the plank on the day of the catastrophe just as it did a few days before. TAMING A HORSE. three Articles That Will Snbdae the Most SsTsge Animal. There were trouble and excitement one day on a ranch in Colorado. A high spirited, half broken stallion wai prancing about the yard attached to the rancher's house. lie. .had Just thrown a cowboy who boasted there was nothing on four legs be could not ride, and he was rearing and bucking so that not even the pluckiest man on the ranch dared to approach. While the men were standing around wondering what 10 do., the rancher's six tccn-y ear-old daughter came out of the house and caimly walked up to the excited animal. When he Faw her lie ceased rearing. whinnied and stood still. She Just put her hand on his mane, stroked ids nose and then vaulted lightly on bis back and rode around the yard, to the amazement of the men. "How do you manage it?" one of them asked her. "Before you tackled him be was as savage as a tiger." "It is simple enough," the girl replied. "Any woman can handle a horse better than a man can. See this" showing the man a small round ob ject she had in her hand "this Is horse castor. Horses love the smell of It ami win go up to any one who has it. "Any horse has sense enough to know the people who love it That stallion began to quiet down as soon as be saw me. When I got near him he smelled the musty horse castor in my clothes, for I always carry a little piece in my pocket. , That pleased him so much that I wes able to stroke bis bead. . While doing so I rubbed his nose with a few drops of oil of cumin, which I had poured Into the palm of my hand. Horses positively love that scent. Then, did you notice that I put my band into his mouth? The object of that was to pour a few drops of oil of rhodium on to his tongue from a tiny vial which I always carry. "With these three articles any horse can be tamed. Where do you get them? Well, the cumin and rhodium can be bought at any drug store; the horse castor must be cut from a horse's forefoot. It Is a warty growth there." It is a fact that horses are very fond of these scents. They are often used by women in the tropics and west In the training and breaking of horses.

Love is sometimes a hard taskmaster. He drives women to tasks beyond their strength and lays heavy burde,ns on their shoulders. Love cf husband, love of family, forces many a woman day by day to labor for the home when aching back and throbbing head make her utterly unfit for household duties. Weak, nervous women who suffer from headache, backache; bearing-down pains and other consequences of womanly disease, can be completely cured by the use of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness.

I did so and could see a difference right away. I only took four bottles in all and felt better than I had in a long time.

Japan, however, saw no reason vrhy ! the proposed neutral zone should be establiched. Japan insists uion lmld-1 ing that the entire peninsula should b subject to her preponderating In- j flueiJce.

Canals in England date back to an early period; for the Romans built two in Lincolnshire the Foss dike, forty miles long and still navigable, and the Caer dike.
