UNSKILLED LABOR Union Men Say It Was Responsible for Iroquois Disaster. New York Sun Special Service. Chicago,. Jan 5.Charges have been made by leaders of organized la bor that the management of the Iro quois theater refused to employ high salaried men to handle the stage lights. They say they have proof that William McMullen, known as Holt, who worked the light that caused the fire, was learning the trade of the atrical employe. The labor organizations are bitter at Mayor Harrison for closing the various theaters, and have started to gather evidence to show that the loss of life at the Iroquois was not due to the construction of the builSijig. They want to shift the blame to the man agement, so that the other houses will be allowed to reopen without further delay. In attempting to gather facts to inpoints duce Mayor Harrison to reconsider his order, the labor leaders hav& ob tained some evidence toward proving the following: What TJicy Can Prove. That the management of the Iro quois employed apprentices. That the asbestos curtain was not MAYOR GEORGE B. 'CLELLAN, NEW YORK. Illll&W-il^^ This is the first picture taken of Mayor George B. McClellan. It was taken at his desk in the city hall after his inauguration as mayor of New York.

Providing separate exits from every bal cony to the ground. Providing for the erection above the stage of two standpipes. Ordering an investigation into the mat ter of requiring adult guards and guides at all exits in all theaters and halls. Ordering all places of public amusement with a seating capacity of 500 or over to provide an automatic apparatus to. open and close all doors to exits, the system to operate in conjunction with levers, any one of which shall open all doors simul taneously and at the same time operate electric lights in all passageways. Ordering that the names of the actual proprietor and actual manager of any place of amusement shall be printed on every playbill issued. Ordering that all doors and exits shall be plainly indicated by signs. Directing that every theater shall be provided with a steel fireproof curtain, which shall be operated not more than five minutes before the commencement of every performance and lowered at least once during every performance. Providing that all employes and at taches of theaters be given a fire drill and be subject to inspection and drill by the fire marshal of the city of Chicago.

That the inspection of theaters in Chicago has been a farce and that incompetent men have been doing the work. That superannuated firemen have been placed by the department In the various theaters. That in the majority of houses there are too few stage employes. That the fire apparatus is prac tically useless as now placed on the stages. That in many of the theaters bags of sand are fastened to curtain ropes, making it difficult to drop the cur tains. These facts, and as many more as can be obtained, will be submitted 'first to a commission of labor lead ers, and then in condensed form will be sent to Mayor Harrison. The for mal work of the leaders will begin on Wednesday, when they are named by President W. G. Schardt of the Chicago Federation of Labor. Performance in Darkness. Kansas. City, Jan. 5.To avoid a panic- at the opening performance last night at the Willis Wood theater, the performance was continued in the dark for nearly thirty minutes. I seems the metal costumes of the actresses short-circuited the lights^ at least, that is the explanation given by the managers^and the place was in darkness. Fearing the effect on the audience, ,the stage director ordered the play to go on, and accord ingly the performers sang their parts and thus kept the people the lights were arranged. quiet 'unti Memorial Services at Fargo.

Unusual Interest Manifested in the SenateMembers Sat Out the Reading with SatisfactionEvery Act of Administration Was Justi- fiedCanal Must Now Be Con structed. Mew York Sun Special Service. Chicago, Jan. 5.Walter Wellman, in a Washington special to the Rec ord-Herald, says: With an act characteristically bold and frank, President Roosevelt has apparently swept away at a single stroke all party opposition to the isthmian canal treaty and assured the success of that great enterprise. Mr. Roosevelt sent to congress a special message on the recent events in the Isthmus and the administra tion's relations thereto, which was read in the senate and listened to with unusual interest by a large num ber of senators of both parties. Ordinarily presidential messages are but indifferently followed by the busy men of the senate, but this was an exception to the rule. Nearly all of the statesmen remained in their seats during the hour and a half re quired for the reading, and most of them followed the clerk by holding in their hands the printed copies which had been provided for their use. It was obvious enough that the message made a profound impression upon the senate. The republicans could not conceal their satisfaction. Occasionally they nodded one to an other in approval, and the whispered comments were all accompanied by smiles. Republicans Are Jubilant. In a body like the senate, the essen tial manner in which a given state paper is received becomes quickly known thru conversation on the floor, talk In the cloakroom and in the lob bies. "In an hour it was known to every one who cared to make inquiry that the president's statement of the case had vastly strengthened the claim of the republicans that every thing the administration has done was justifiable and that nothing now re mains but to ratify the treaty and close the episode- by going ahead with the construction of the Panama canal. The republicans were jubilant and many democratic senators quietly ex pressed their satisfaction. If one may judge by the prevalent comment on both sides of the cham ber, the threatened effort of the mi nority to defeat the treaty for polit ical eurposes will not materialize. As a matter of fact,*, there never was much substance to that threat. Lead ing senators now predict that noth ing more will be heard from it and that the treaty will be ratified by an overwhelming majority as soon as a vote&oajj be reached.'

Special to The Journal. Des Moines, Iowa, Jan, 6.Super- vising Engineer C. L. Linley fell sixty feet to his death to-day while mak ing an inspection of the state capitol building, damaged by fire yesterday. Linley was making an inspection of the locality where the flames orig inated when the burned floor gave way with*him, precipitating him to the floor of the chamber of represen tatives. His skull was crushed and he' died almost instantly. Criminal Carelessness Alleged. The state executive council has de cided to make a thoro investigation of the cause of the fire. Criminal carelessness on the part of an un known employe is alleged. A thoro examination will be made of fireproof contracts. The state house was supposed to be one of the absolutely fireproof- buildings in the west. A careful study of the dam age leads the governor and council to fix the loss at $500,000, but archi tects say that $700,000 will be neces sary to complete the building as orig inally designed, with the contemplated repairs. It has been definitely decided that the legislature will meet Jan. 11, and the inauguration plan for Jan. 14 will be carried out. OEMS WANT $40,000. ^Chicago, Jan.

He knew that weak intestinal digestion meant, either leave off eating any starchy foods, Potatoes, Wheat, Oats, Bread, Cakes and Puddings, or suffer distress and disease. He knew that some starchy food is necessary to supply energy. He also knew that delicate particles of Phosphate ofPotash assimilate with Albumen in the food and go to build the gray mat- ter in the Brain and- Nerve Centers, so, the experiments began and extended over a period of about two years, resulting In the now world famous food Grape-Nuts.

BREAKFAST FOODS announcing "Predigested," Brain Food," "Starches turned to Grape Sugar," "Made of entire Wheat and Barley," etc., etc., you can apply the following .FACTS Seven years ago the original ready-cooked, predigested Grape-Nuts Food wag discovered and plaoed before the people. Its early history shows that the inventor, after: recovery from a long attack of nervous prostra- tion and a well-nigh fatal attack of appendicitis, was brought to realize the urgent necessity for a pre- digested cereal food that the system could absorb, and that would furnish the body with energy and also rebuild the Brain and Nerve Centers* There is but one and only one genuine pre- digested Brain Food and that is Grape-Nuts Lopk for the little book "The Road to Wellville" in each package. jw- re there as well, and with the Albumen of foodxTurely, steadily and perfectly do their work in re-building and making new the worn down Brain and Nerve Centers. That is the reason why people who know these facta and have proven them, use Grape-Nuts. Truly "There's a Reason." Persons who have been built back to strong, sturdy men and women by adopting scientifically made food, particularly whan da* liclous to the taste, are not quick to forget it. A great original success is always a bid for Imitators, but Grape-Nuts was so hard to copy that for the first five years, but feeble attempts were made by anyone to imitate either the food or the announcements of its merit. However, about two years ago a tremendous rush was made to get into the ready-cooked food business. It was like a stampede to the gold 'diggings. Several hundred factories were built and the hopes of tho stockholders ran high. Had these money-seeking followers gone through the days, weeks and years of hard experience, in sickness, investigation, study and experiment that fitted the old originator to bring forth from his food laboratory a genuine article, intended, for a purpose, and so skillfully and scientifically blended and made that it would- Do what it was intended to do t! Or were they forced from lack of early training, to "grind up something, make it go"f The first year of the life of these imitators they did not assume that their foods were "predi- gested" or were "brain" foods, but when for some unexplained reason the demand did not come up to expectation, they concluded perhaps it might be because they were not advertised as 'predigested brain foods." So, without any change in the articles, and with most amazing effrontery, the makers of some have now suddenly begun to talk "Brain Food," "Predigested," etc., etc., copying the announcements of Grape-Nuts that the public have been familiar with for seven years past. When you read our words and phrases, "Predigested," "Made from entire Wheat and Barley," A Food for Brain and Nerve Centers," etc., etc., fitted to some breakfast food, you may know these claims have been cribbed from the original, and are pretences. A genuine originator must have as his actuating motive, honesty of purpose. Imitators have but one object, MONEY, and that to be gained from the thought and work of others* POSTUM CEREAL CO., LTd BATTLE CREEK,' MICH. i5Ja'rae6Enij ^iV:'i .."/-i' v-v-K'-^:'^^^ 1 and "advertise! that will '"^Ml&toBai iS 1 I
