"If any on*» of the tht iter managers
refuses to pay the wages of these men.
as several of thm have refused in the
past, I will close the doors of the thea

agree to act as they should."
CHICAGO, Dec. .31:— From- the action
of a committee of prominent architect's
o^Chicago t to-day may result a recom
mendation to Mayor Harrison to dose
every theat/r in Chicago until the exits
and construction have been examined.
This idea was suggested to President
Beaumont of the Chicago Architects'
Association by W. B. Pridmore, an ar
chitect who lost- some relatives in the
flre. President Beaumont refused per
sonally to make the recommendation
to Mayor Harrison, but called an in
formal meeting of the association, at
which it was decided that a larger
gathe'ring of the members would be
held to-morrow to take action..
Mayor Harrison said to,-night:
"I see no more reason for closing all
the theaters than for stopping all rail
way trains after a disastrous wreck.
There is no necessity of becoming hys
terical about this matter, -although
this horrible disaster has taken place
in probably the safest theater in
Chicago."
The Mayor to-night sent the follow
ing letter to all theatrical proprietors
in Chicago:
"November 2, this year, I transmitted
to the City Council a report o nthe the
aters of Chicago, calling the attention
of the Council to the failure cf all the
theaters to comfaly fully with the terms
of the building ordinances relative to
placet" of amusement. The council
rent thi? communication to the commit
tee- on Judiciary for consideration and
pending a report from that committee
directed the commissioner of building"
to suspend enforcement -of the ordi
nance. .:
"The city ordinance, among other
thing*, requires each theater to em
ploy a fireman to be approved by the
Chief of the Fire Department, to look
after the tire protection of the house.:
1 am advised by the Chief that several
theaters hav- refused to comply: with
this provision of the ordinance. : In
view of the terrible disaster at the. Iro
o.uois -.-Theater-' and pending action, of
the <:ity ; Couhpli. I have directed; the
Chief, of. the Fire. Department to : assign
one. regular member- of. tliie department
to-'ipach.!iheaier-v«»>i-^.rnipj_yin_g: with the

have . ; further 1 , directed, the- Chief, in
cases where the ordinance has: riot been
obeyed, to assign two regular firemen
to the duty of protecting the ptfbliq
against fire. The wages of the firemen
will be billed direct to the theaters to
which they are assigned and the serv
ice will be continued until the council
has finally acted on the ordinance."
After dispatching the letter, the
Mayor said:
Firemen to Be .Stationed -in All CI1I7

TARING TARDY -PRECAUTIONS.
M. Edwards. 'who has been in Chicago
on -a visit, identified the daughter's
terribly burned body from the cloth
in her skirt, a" sample of which he
carried in his pocket. ' . •
Chief of Police O'Xeil to-day super
vised the work of helping friends and
relatives "recover their dead. Hun
dreds of persons, grief and anxiety
written ¦upon their faces, thronged
about the chief's* office, seeking in
formation.. The pressure grew' so
strong that tse.cretary Markham,
mounting a chair, read off 'descriptions
to the "multitude, which listened with
straining 'ears. Frequently persons in
the crowd recognired the descriptions
read by the secretary and started in
horror for- the particular ' morgue
nam.ed as the words fell from the sec
retary*.? lips. ." .' •• ' • . . . "
At the .'morgue- the inadequacy of
the means ' of inspecting the bodies
was evident. Only a few. persons at a
time were allowed to pass before the
bodies, and places in the line of ad
mission, were as eagerly sought and
foujrht for as means of. escape were
when the' theater was burning. ' .
"Then came a volume of smoke and
far. in the .rear. of the crowd" we could
see' the' Illumination from the flames.
I had a number of small tools in my
pocket a"nd immediately proceeded to
remove the metal attachments which
held the door in place. This was ac
complished with some difficulty, and
then we managed to force the. crowd
back, probablyan inch, the door then
dropped from its place and. one by
one,' the imprisoned'players were as
sisted into the alley. I walked in upon
the.staKe and found" it a seething fur
nace. The players had been rescued
just in time." -¦'<;.'¦•
"formers, were standing helplessly .and
with agonizicg looks in their faces.
The stage door was closed.
"The massive stage door of the* Iro
quois," said Quinn to-day, "is like
many others of its kind. The two
main swinging doors are used when
jjcenery is taken to or from * the
'theater, and built in the swinging
structure Itself is a small trapdoor
used by. the players in leaving or en
tering the stage. This trapdoor opened
inwardly.* As *I passed it I heard a
commotion and saw the door was
slightly open and,, peering into the
opening, I curiously asked what Was
the trouole. • Then, for the flrstv time,
1 and others who had arrived outside
at about the same* time learned that
the theater was on" fire. The playe'rs,.
men and women and children, had
rushed to this small trapdoor for es
cape, got caught in a solid mass and
were so . firmly wedged together that
they could nflt move. They • were
banked solidly against the little door
and if could" not be opened. Nearly all
the players were in their stage cos
tumes, and- the women, had not- even
had time to remove the' paint from
their faces. We tried to force the .door
'open^- but the crowd was banked up
too tightly against it.

WUh the settlemeni of the strike be
.tween the Kestaurant-Keepers ! • Asso
ciation and the Cooks' and Walters'
Union*, together with the adjustment of
fhe trouble that had existed between
the slauguter-house butchers formerly
employed by. Miller & Lux, peace pre
vails at the opening of the new year.
There are no difficulties existing In thia
city except what there i» reason to
believe will be settled soon. There la
a disagreement existing between the
cloakmakers and their late employers,
but as this is over working hours and
not of daily pay. it can be easily ad
justed* by both sides giving way on
half-considered measures. It Is true
that Johnson's restaurant is refusing
to accede to the demands of the Cooks*
and Waiters' Union, but the fight is
more one of principle than of wages
and hours. Taking all these items of
minor differences into consideration,
there is a healthy condition existing
between business and help.
The State Federation convention,
which meets at Fresno next Monday,
will have a 'few matters of interest
to dispose of. which, it is to be hoped,
will be amicably adjusted. WMat
threatened to give some trouble be
tween the Qarriage-Owners' Associa
tion and the Stablemen's Union has been
held in abeyance with hopes of a set
tlement agreeable Co both when the
new rules are properly understood.
Joint committees have been named to
bring about an understanding.
One of the latest adjuncts- to organ
izations of labor comes from the Chi
nese laundry workers. Even the slow
and- dull Mwngolian has his eye open
to better hia condition by asking for
an increase of wages and shorter work
ing hours.
The following unions have announced
their choice of presiding and govern
ing officers for the ensuing term:
The Btory of these efforts was be
lUUed aln*.o^ is soon as it became cur
rent by a denial that the State De
partment hari heard anyfhing of the
kir.J. o Never; iiel ess cablegrams have
ben senf to United States Minister
Fwtr.son at t'ojwnhagen and inquiries
are even now i>eing made at St. Thomas
as= to the truth of the story that Ger
many, through an agreement with the
North German Lloyd Steamship Line,
1p Fe^king tot exclusive naval coaling
privileges at St. Thomas. The story is
not a bad ov.?, The State Department
has probed similar rumors more than
euro to find nothing tangible. That is
»h> this s'ory is doubted in some
quarters. No representation whatever
has been irade to Germany nor. will
th<»r<? }*> unless the informartiorr re
ceived h*»re should become more defi
nite. Ther' is no .difficulty in ascer
taining whit the United States would
do if Germany endeavors to obtain for
herself any exclusive naval coaling sta
tion privileges in the West Indies, es
pectaJly at St. Thomas, which is one
of the rho?t important islands of the
Antilles from a strategic point of view.
eoTimandi; g as it does the entrance to
.the CaribJ. an. The United States Gov
ernment consider* that Denmark is
morally bonad to sell the Danish West
Indies to no one °Ise now that she has
refused t< soil th.Tn to the United
Fi-4tp?.. tr! % treaty for their sale hav
ine rejected at Copenhagen. after
Its ratification by the United States
Senate. Any concession ,• which would

tion rights tn the exclusion of other
povyerB t ould b<? considered a stab at
thp Monroe doctrine, even if the con
cession v.ere made to a private c'ori
poration. If found necessary, the Dan
ish Government will he infe^nred that
«h» C&tted States, which offered to buy

if hqMs the refusal & them: that a

power, would be a menace to th.c Mon-'
