WHAT THEATER MEN SAY:
CALCIUM LIGHT BURST

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-While the police and
firemen were carrying out the dead and in

of the theater was interchangeable in his eff

proof and if somebody had not screamed
fire think that all, as far as those killed
in the panic are concerned, could have
reached the street in safety. And of those
who were suffocated by the gas nearly all
would have been out by the time the ex-
plosion occurred if order had been pre-
served in making their exits. AS far we
have learned everybody on the first floor
except three escaped. although some sus-
tanned bruises and other minor injuries.
The great loss of life was in the first and
second balconies. These combined will seat
900 persons. The sale of seats had been
good. but was not up to the capacity. and
as far as / can estimate the balconies be-
tween them held between $50 and 500 people.
The top balcony, where the cheapest seats
were located, was the most crowded and it
is here that the crowd found most difficulty
in struggling toward the exits

Lime Light Apparatus Is
Said to Have Exploded

1t was declared tonight by the manage
ment of the theater, that the fire was not
caused by the grounding of an electric
wire or to any defect in the equipment Of
the theater 1t started, they claim, by the
bursting of a calcium light apparatus. The
conclusion was so great that it blew out
the skylights over the stage and audi
forum. This statement of the theater
management is contradicted by many peo-
pie who were in the theater and who de-
clared that before the explosion occurred,
they saw flames in a narrow streak creep
ing along the wall near the upper part Of
the drop curtain.
William c. Sellers, the house fireman,
who was severely burned in trying TO lower
the asbestos curtain describes the scene
upon the stage and the cause of fire as
follows: II was standing in the wings
when / heard the explosion and then i'm
mediately afterward cry of fire from the
stage and all over the theater. Looking up
| saw that the curtain was ablaZe and at
once L ran for the fire curtain. We got it
half way down when the wind rushing in
from the broken skylights bellied il out so
that it caught and we could not bulge it.
With the Stage hands l climbed to where it
was suspended and together we tried to
push il down Our efforts were futile and
seeing that no human power could move
that fire curtain and that the stage was a
mass of flames l turned my attention to
warning the actors and trying TO save
those who were in trouble. The women
were frantic and the men not much better.
/ stood at he stairway leading TO the
dressing rooms, where the chorus people
were located and kept some from going
up to get their street clothes. As the
others came down i forced them to leave
the building. l don't know how they ever
got out all those girls and men, who came
entrance was blocked by a mass OF
flames.

Merchants Near the Theater
Rose to the Emerge

The merchants in the vicinity of the
theater rose to the emergency in splendid
fashion. Marshall Field & Co., Mandel
Brothers, Schlessinger & Meyer, Carson,
Prize Scott & Co., and other large dry
goods stores sent wagonload after wagon
load of blankets. rolls of linen and pack
ages Of cotton to be used in binding up the
wounds of the injured and to cover the dead.
The drug stores furnished their stock to
any body that asked for il in the name OF
the people hurt in the fire.
Doctors and trained nurses were on the
ground by the score within half an hour
after the extent of the calamity was
carried from the building received prompt
medical aid. A number of doctors waited
at the entrance to the theater with
stethoscopes in hand and as soon as a
body which looked as though ii might pos
sess life was carried out Ii was at once
examined, and, if dead, placed on the pile
lying on the sidewalk The others were at
once placed in ambulances and whirled
away to hospitals or to the offices of
physicians in the immediate neighborhood.
One large truck, ordinarily used for con-
veying freight to depOts. was so heavily
loaded with dead in front of the theater
that the two large horses attached to it
compelled to assist by Juggling at the
wheels. When the need for trucks to re-
move the dead was more pressing huge
electric delivery wagon owned by Montgom-
cry Ward & Co. was hailed by the police.
The automobile headed for the scene, but

The chauffeur changed his gong repeatedly,
but the crowd refused To part and the au-

FORMAL STATEMENT
BY THEATER OWNERS

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-Will ]. Davis ard
Harry j. Powers. proprietors of the Iro-
quois Theater, made the following state
ment at 1:SO o'clock this Thursday morn
ing:
SO far as we have been able to ascer-
tain, the cause of the most unfortunate
accident of the fire in the Iroquois ii ap-
pears that one of the scenic draperies was
noticed to have ignited from some cause.
1t was detected before il had reached an
appreciate flame. and the city fireman who
is detailed and constantly on duty when
the theater is opened, noticed it simultane-
ously with the electrician. The fireman,
who was only few feet away, Immediately
pulled a tube of 'Killfire,' of which there
were many hung about the stage, and
threw the contents upon the blaze which
would have been more than enough if the
'klllfire had been effective to have eXtin-
guished the flame at once. but for some
cause inherent in the tube of 'KiHfire' it
had no effect. The fireman and electrician
then ordered down the asbestos curtain
another tube of 'Kilfre' upon the blaze
with no better result The commotion
thus caused excited the alarm of the audi
ence, who Immediately started for the exits,
of which there are twenty-five, of unusual
width. all opening out and ready to the
hand of any one reaching them. The draft
mus CtuScus IL 10 DtllON6u, 0du, before the
curtain could be entirely lowered produced
a bellying of the asbestos curtain, causing
pressure on guide against the solid brick
wall OF the prOscenium thus stopping its
descent. Every effort made by those
on the stage TO pull it down, but the draft
was so great, II seemed, that the pressure
against the proscenium wall and the fric-
ton caused thereby was SO strong that they
could not be overcome. The audience be-
came panic-Stricken in their efforts to
reach the exits. and tripped and fell over
each other and fell and blocked the way.
The audience was promptly admonished
and importuned by persons employed on the
stage and in the auditorium to be calm and
avoid any rush; that the exits and facili-
ties for emptyings the theater were ample
70 enable them alf to get out without con-
fusion.
No expense or precaution was omitted to
make the theater as fire proof it could be
made, there being nothing combustible in
the construction of the house except the
trimmings and furnishings of the stage and
auditorium In the building of the theater
We sacrificed more space TO aisles and exits
than any theater in American"
The above statement was not issued by
Messrs. Powers and Davis until $50 O'Clock
on the morning of Dec. 81.
