foreign creditors, as we'll
When Mr.. Williamson was seen
he said that the compulsory filling
Of luceTn seed contracts at a great
personal loss on account of poor

his bankruptcy. He also said that

FIVE HUNDRED KILLED
Iroquois Theatre Burned Hun
dreds OF Men and Women
Tranlpled and >utfocat-
ed to Death.

Chicago Dec. 30 - The grand
new Iroquois theatre which had
just been finished five weeks, burn
ed to the ground tonight, the worst
theatre fire known i'll the history
Of the country. According 70
official reports OF the police, more
than 800 men, women and children
met death by fire, smoke and panic,
during the matinee performance Of
Mr.. Biuebird.
Most of the dead are women and
children. Scores were incinerated,
while hundreds were suffocated by
smoke and gas and crushed into
pulp by one another while strug-
CLING to escape. Still hundreds of
others are lying at their homes
and i'll hospitals, between life and
death with broken limbs and burns.
Every undertaking establishment
III the city Is filled with bodies
From pit to dome the house was
packed. Mothers and little ones
had laughed themselves hoarse at
the antics of Eddie Foy, the coined
ian. It was III the middle Of the
play and the chorus, smiling and
frolicsome, had just concluded sing
ing the Moonlight song, when every
thing back of the footlight was
suddenly a broad wave Of fire.
Eddie Foy, chief comedian Of the
company stood out from the panic
stricken group ON the stage to as
sure the audience that there was no
danger In another instant smoke
burst from the top arch Of the stage
and from under the bottom Of the
curtain. Before a man or woman
III the seats could rise the whole
roof of the auditorium was ablaze.
Two gas tanks exploded III the
files on the east side of the theatre,
and the black choaking fumes beat
down i'll a cloud of death from every
wall.
More than a thousand persons in
the orchestra seats, with easy ac-
cess to the doors, made their way to
safety.
In the balcony and gallery de
struction wrought frightful work.
Flame and smoke, gathering OIL
these upper floors, caught the vic
tins before they realized the full
extent of the danger. 1t seemed
incredible that the little rush of
fire could lap the walls so quickly
and reach out after them like
stroke Of lightning.
The classic outlines of the the
ater, the beautiful plush hangings,
the arched windows, with their
stained glass, and the stately pillars,
became morgue five minutes after
the first little ribbon of fire made
it's way along the stage.
About $50 people were killed in
ten minutes.
The accounts of the origin of the
fire are conflicting, and none Of them
certain, but the reason given is that
an electric wire near the lower
part of piece of drop scenery sud
denly broke and was grounded.

success. The camp decided only
three weeks ago to hold an enter
talnment Oh the Dist anniversary
of the establishment of the Modern
Woodmen organization, and then

balance, but in spite of the little
effort eXerted the program, the oys-
ter supper and dance were
thoroughly enjoyed and much
credit is due DR.. Blevins and NJ. 7.

program consisted OF two short ad-
dresses and some excellent piano
and vocal music then there was
some that wasn't so good. MI

and dished up the oysters and his
experience and liberality received
much favorable comment. The
dance was also thoroughly enjoyed.

HUNTING FOR A MOSES.
Democrats are ut Sea as to Who
to Put up as Candidate.

Washington, Jan. . The
meeting of the Democratic Nat
ional committee within two weeks
has not excited particular interest.
The New York and Chicago are
the only two candidates seriously
considered for the national Demo
cratic convention, and New York
seems to have the best of the areu-
ment at this time. Owing to the
very great doubt as to who tie
Democratic candidate for President
will be, there is not much gossip
as to the name of the man who will
succeed Chairman Jones. The chair
manship Of a national committee
goes to man acceptable to the nom
iree, and widely different interests
are represented III the men suggest
ed for this honor. Gossip as
to the probable Democratic nominee
for presidency is rife. Judge Park
er is looked upon as formidable
candidate but the point is raised
against him that he is a close and
intimate friend of ex- Senator David
B. Hill Tammany does not look
with favor upon any movement to
put Mr.. Hill into power. Parker
as final choice would mean that
he was manifestly the best candi-
date for the party, and that New
York prejudices had been set aside
in view Of this. Ex- Secretary
Olney has recently had new boom
but he is not popular among the
Democrats, although he is regarded
as very strong man Intellectually,
and as possessing many other
qualities which would particularly
recommend him as a candidate.
His advanced age is against him.
1t is not expected that Mr.. Olney
will go to the convention with a
very large following, but it is be-
lieved that unless Senator German
can get control of the convention
at once upon its assembling, he be
ing the candidate who expected to
be far in the lead at the outset,
there will be considerable discus
sion before any candidate is select
ed, i'll which event man like OIL
ney, with a solid delegation stand
ing earnestly and firmly for him,
would be favorably situated AS
the situation appears today Mr..
German seems to be the only candi-
date under discussion who possesses
positive strength adhering distinct
ly to his personality
The other candidates are looked
upon with more or less favor as
being advantageous to the party.
German has a following that is
distinctly his own, ready to stand BY
him through thick and thin for a
determined fight, and this might
speedily result i'll his nomination,
but it is yet to be determined how
strong this following is numerical
ly. Up to the present time there
is nothing sufficiently determined
in regard to candidate to prevent
the Democratic national convention
from being ''wide open and sub
ject to argument or manipulation
in favor of one candidate or another.
