Chicago. Jan. 2. More cases Involving
the wreck of homes as a result of tho
Iroquois fire are still coming to light.
A futile search has been conducted so
far for the body of Harold. th- D-ycar-oId
son of E. Honnlng. Nearly the entlrb
Homing family perished In the lire. The
boy. with his three brothers and his
mother, were at the Iroquois. The mother
In some manner was barely saved by an
unknown rescuer.
She bellovrd her boys were Just behind
her but the bodies of the three wore later
ploked up and Identified. But tho body of
the youngest boy was not there and no
trace of him, (lend or alive, has been
found. Mrs. Ilcnnlng wan badly injured

Berlin, Jan. 2. A fire caused by a short
clrcultcd electric wlrn started last night
in tho cloakroom of-tho n$w Royal, then-,
ter, during a performance of "A Midsum
mer ."lght'u Dream." A fireman ntutloned
at the theater discovered the flames and
put them out without .tho uudlonco being
alarmed.
Tho historic Royal opera-house- Is the
only theater In tho city not regarded nu
safe. The Chlcngo disaster will probably
hasten Its reconstruction, which nan long
been considered.
WHY SMOOT
CHOSE BORAH
TO DEFEND M
Senators Set Machinery in
(VIotion to Ascertain. '
LOOK UP HIS ANTECEDENTS
All Facts Nw Bafore Members
of tho Sonato.
i
Senator Dubois Pays High Tribute to
the Lawyer, and the Man Who
Hopes to Succeed Him.
TRIBUNE- SPECIAL.
Washington, Jan, 2. As soon "as an
nouncement wa.5 mad In this city that
Hon. W. E. Borah of Eome, Ida., had
been seleoted as an attorney to repre
sent Senator Reed Smoot oi Utah in
defense of his title to a seat ln'tiie
United States Senate, the members of
that body put Into motion the-machinery
which every Sent-tor possesses to
obtain Information concerning Mr.
Borah, bis standing, his antecedents,
and the reasons for his- selection in this
Important case. All the facts concern
ing him are now before the members of
the Senate and'lhey understand Ihe
situation thoroughly.
From a member of that body It was
ascertained today that Mr. Borah i.s a
splendid lawyer, a great "orator, a man
of high character, never a pettifogger,
always judicial and exceptionally com
petent as an adocat. -
DUBOIS'S VIEW.
Senator Dubois has said of him: "I
am very .proud of Mr. Borah as a citi
zen of my State. He. is a credit to the
community and the common weaith in
which he lives. He Is my personnl
friend and I am his friend. 1 cannot
say anything about his retention in
this case, however."
ANOTHER OPINION.
The other Senators have been made
quite familiar with the history of Mr.
Borah, one of them having received a
telegram which reads as follows:
"Borah Is the peerless political leader
and orator who led Idaho Republicans
to victory In 1002. The people elected
a Legislature with a Republican ma
orlty for the purpose of sending Mr.
Borah to the Senate. He was defeated
In that aspiration by the Mormon
church, through whose agency he id
now employed."
WAS SILVER REPUBLICAN.
It Is known here now that Mr. Borah
was a Silver Republican leader In 1S96
and In 1S98, but that he went back to
the Republicans In 1900. His Republi
can leadership In 1302 was so brilliant
that his selection for the Senate to
succeed Mr. Hellfeld was a foregone
conclusion. When the Legislature met,
however, some of the old straight Re
publican leaders objected to nendlng a
Silver Republican to the Senate wh.en
they had a straight Republican major
ity, and so there was. a wrangle in the
Legislature, which resulted In a deal
whereby the Mormon balance of power
was thrown to Mr. Heyburn, and he
wa3 elected to the Senate in place of
Mr. Borah.
DENOUNCED HEYBURN.
It is also known in Washington that
when Mr. Borah was defeated his bril
liant eloquence was let loose In scath
ing denunciation of Senator Heyburn
and his Mormon friends. The things he
said about Senator Heyburn aro still
fresh In his memory and It is not be
ikved hero that Senator Heyburn gives
very hearty indorsement to the selec
tion of Mr. Borah as counsel for Sena
tor Smoot. At any rate Senator Hey
burn has not said anything of a com
plimentary nature concerning Mr. Bo
rah up to date.
WHAT POLITICIANS SEE.
Men of political discernment, and nil
Senators are' men of political discern
ment, see far beyond the surface of af
fairs like this and they reailze the pos
sibility. If not the extreme probability
of more that a good retainer for Mr.
Borah in this case, something addi
tional in the way of Mormon support
for election to the United States Sen- '
'
t EXPECTED WAR WILL J
BE DECLARED IN A
I' VERY FEW DAYS
- 4-
4- Peking. Jan. 3. Information In 4-
4- the possession of tho best informed 4-
4- diplomats In Peking convinces 4-
4- them that war Is Inevitable, possl- 4-
4- bly within a few days. 4-
ate to succeed Senator Dubois four
four years hence.
IS ANOTHER REVELATION.
Thus it will be seen that the selection
of an attorney for the Mormon apostle
means jnuch more than the retention of
an ordinary lawyer in an ordinary case.
It Is another revelation of the determi
nation of the Mormon church so far as
possible to hold tho balance of power
In a sufficient number of States to en
able them to have the balance of power
ultimately In the United States Senate.

IRON TONGUES
MOAN A REQUIEM
FOB CHICAGO'S DEAD
Snowsterm Makes a Winding
Sheet for City.
SOLEMN DIRGES ON WINDS
Bolls Toll far an Hour In Chi
cago While City Mourns.
Priests and Ministers Go From Fu
neral to Funeral, and Offer Con
solation to the Living.
Chicago, Jan. 2. Church bells tolling
at noon, business activity .checked,
many celebrations postponed and long
lines of funerals making their way to
the outlying districts where the ceme
teries are situated these circumstances
today evidenced Chicago's outward
grief for the victims of the Iroquois
theater disaster. PrlestR and ministers
of the gospel went from funeral to fu
neral today, as they will tomorrow and
Monday. The unidentified dead will be
kept as long av possible at the morgues.
If no one comes to lay claim to the
bodies they will be burled at the city's
expense. By common assent of the
clergy, "Lead. Kindly Light," the
hymp vWrltten by Cnrdlnal Newman, is
being sung at all the funerals.
BUSINESS PLACES CLOSE.
The city hall, except absolutely nec
essary departments, was closed today..
The Board of Trade closwd an hour
earlier than usual, and a number of
mercantile and manufacturing estab
lishments also closed early. The large
department stores closed at noon.
ThIrty:four teachers in the public
schools are known to have lost their
lives in the fire, and the schools will
be cloyed Monday In their memory.
REQUIEM FOR THE DEAD.
When It was 12 o'clock the chimes of
a North Side church tolled a dirge and
the northeast wind carried It over the
city. Before the first notes bad died
away another chime further south
sounded a mournful Intonation. Then
a hundred bells broke forth In a mighty
diapason, whose Iron moans seemed to
reach the gray clouds and echo back
again In solemn concord. The bells
tolled for an hour.
As the loneo of the city's dirge in the
scattered towers spread over the city,
more persons paused and listened In
sorrow and awe than on any occasion
In the minds of the people. Many
stood with bare heads as on the day of
the burial of President McKlnley.
A snowstorm which prevailed ndded
to the solemnity. An Intense quietness
In the atmosphere Itself, a holiday ap-.
pearancc nnd the numerous funeral cor
teges as they passed slowly through
the storm, while the church bells were
slowly tolling, combined to make the
occarion one ns peculiarly cheerless as
It was solemn and Impressive.
EXPRESSIONS OF GRIEF.
The tolling of tho bells was in re
sponse to an expressed wish of Mayor
Harrison. The Mayor said:
"Tolling the church bells throughout
the city on Chicago's day of mourning
for the dend who perished in the fire at
the Iroquois theater would be an ap
propriate expression of grief. The sug
gestion was made to me by a clergy
man, and I wish it to be published so
that pastors may carry it out. I
strongly urge them to begin the tolling
of bells at noon and to let the mourn
ful sound continue for an hour. Such
an expression of sorrow would bring
to tho hearts and minds of every one
the memory of Chicago's terrible loss."
Cold in Nebraska.
Omnhu. Jan. 2. Zero weather hn pre
vailed for ncnrly twenty-four hours
throughout Nobraoka and wotorn Iowa,
with tho mercury still falling For to

Sensational denouncements are ex

William Bonncll,. a. Pennsylvania mi
nor. was the iirst witness called. He !
said he had heard a voice, which be ,
thought was that of the foreman of the ;
Rarus, say to the men at work In the . ,
Rarus, acmss a bulkhead from the
Pennsylvania, "Drive them out that
way if you can; if not, blast."
CARLOADS OP ORE. . H
"That way," said Bcnnell, "meant by
dumping carloads of ore on us, by
throwing burning rags down on us and
exploding noxious gases." This wit- iH
ness testified that the employees of jH
the IiaruM have made repeated efforts
to drive the Pennsylvania miners out
of their workings. The Coroner's jury iM
is still in session.

FOUND BURNED HAY. rjH

gist for the Amalgamated, today testi- 'H
fled to discovering vast amounts of hay jjl
in the raise just abovo the place where il
the Amalgamated miners were working, fl
and this he -declared was burned, the 11
stltllng smoke being forced in on the
Amalgamated men to prevent them from
carrying out the orders of tho United vl

FREE FIGHT THREATENED.
At one stage of the inquest County
Attorney Peter Breen and L. O. Evans, IH
attorney for the Hclnxo interests, en- !H
gaged in a dispute that threatened to
develop Into a free fight, but the. matter IH
was finally settled- by an amicable ad- tjjl
Justment. According to the testimony of eH
Superintendent Adams of the Boston & iH
Montana company and Foreman Georg'o SH
E. ioultrop of the Pennsylvania mine lH
on the very day of the explosion the iH
carpenters built a heavy door to prevent jH
access to the Pennsylvania from tho jl
Rarus, and the two men who wero killed ijH
were finishing the job of calking up the 'iH
cracks In and around this door to keep jl
out the smoke. The raise Is what Is IH
called in mining parlance a, downcast lH
raise, and all smoke found Its way down ll
and out through the GOO-foot Pennsyl- iH
vania level.
MEN THREW ROCKS. iH
According to the testimony of miners
who worked the other two shifts against
that of Oleson and Divcl from the time
the first hole was blasted from the raise
Into the old workings of the Michael kH
Davitt they were continually obstructed fH
by inen from above, who threw rocks '-hfH
und other heavy materiai'down the hole, ilH
besides setting off powder and blank fjl
fuses to scare them from their work. ijl
Many times the men were compelled to
leave their work on account of tho
smoke sent down from above, blinding ,
and cHoklng them so that they could not iM
stay In the raise.
All the evidence adduced at today's H
hearing would seem to place the blame H
entirely on the men employed- by the ll
Rarus company, nnd probably in partlc- il
ulnr on Nick Treloar, foreman of the '
Rarus, and Thomas Knowles, shift boss
of the same mine.
HEARD THREATENING TALK. f
Two witnesses, Michael Ostronlch and Jll
his partner, Thomns E. Bonnell, who 11
wore relieved by the two men who wero iffl
killed, testified to hearing threatening MH
conversations from above them. They
could not sec who were talking, but
believed they recognized tho voices of
Treloar and Knowlea,
