ANOTHER CHICAGO PANIC.
Occurred at Funeral of Victim of Re.
cent Fire.

Chicago, Jan. A serious panic
occurred Sunday afternoon at the fun
eral of Miss Carrie Sayres, one of the
victims of the fire. The services were
in progress in the South Chicago Con.
gregational church, in the suburb of
South Chicago, and the building was
filed A fire broke out three doors
from the church and the first intima-
ton of it was conveyed to the people
in the church by cry of fire in the
street. Many rushed for the doors.
Two policemen stationed in the street
called to the people that there was
no danger and urged them to resume
their seats. Their advice was not
needed, however The pallbearers
went to the side of the casket and
stood in readiness to remove it and
the family of the dead girl prepared
to leave. Suddenly a cloud of smoke
came in through the open door and
the sight and smell maddened the peo-
pie. The two officers had barely
time to swing the doors open when
the rush came This was all that
saved a severe crush and probable
loss of life, as the crowd plunged
through the doors. When the street
was reached and it was seen that there
was no cause for alarm the greater
part of the people returned to the
church and the services were finished
Nobody was injured.

Criminal Neglect.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Evidence showing
grosser criminal neglect than anything
previously developed was given under
oath in the fire department investiga-
ton of the Iroquois horror. Joseph
Daugherty, who had charge of the
curtain, swore that two weeks ago,
during a matinee performance, there
was fire on the stage, and that when
he attempted to lower the asbestos
curtain it was stopped by the same
obstruction that prevented its operation
last Wednesday, the fatal afternoon.
The curtain manager declared that
he protested at that time, but that no
attention was paid to his warning. In
his opinion, if the curtain had been
run down during the fatal matinee, the
lives of many, if not all the victims of
the disaster might have been saved.
1t was only by the merest chance that
a panic was averted as the result of
the first fire. The skylight at that
time, he said, was securely closed.

RUSSIA MADE CONCESSIONS.
She Hopes Japan Will Accept Propo-
sitions Presented.

st. Petersburg, Jan. I'm reply to
Japan, Russia has made great conces-
sions, and hopes her proposals will
prove acceptable to Japan.
The foreign office has informed the
Associated Press that instructions
have been sent to Vicedroy Alexieff,
on which the reply was based. The
latter was drawn up in the most con-
c1liatory spirit. Some of the japanese
proposals were accepted, while others
were made the subject of extended OBJ
servations and were met by counter
proposals.
There are strong hopes in many cir
cles that on Thursday next. the Russian
Christmas, the czar may be able to
announce that peace is assured.
The furry on the bourse is explained
by bankers as being due to the annual
settlement of operations, and they add
that it was wholly uninfuenced by the
far eastern situation.

first victory. This point was on q
demurrer filed by General Cowan to
the Indictment, attacking it's sufficien-
cy and alleging that it would have the
effect of placing the senator on trial
twice on the same charge.

A BIG FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA
Employees Were Panic Stricken Until
Arrival of Fire Department.

Philadelphia, Jan. IA panic, ac-
companied by possible loss of life, was
only averted by the remarkable activi-
ty of the fire department at the textile
mills of William 7. Smith e. Son s.
The firm employs between 500 and
900 girls. A few hours after they had
gone to work, flames were discovered
in the lower part of the building, prac-
tically cutting off all means of exit,
save by the fire escapes.
An alarm was quickly turned in, and
the prompt arrival of the fire depart
ment seemed to partially allay the
fears of the hundreds of girls, who had
rushed to the fire escapes. All were
taken safely from their perilous posi-
tions.
The flames were extinguished, after
loss of $25, 900 to the building and
machinery.

Inspector TaIks.
Fire Inspector Fulkerson says:

Fire Inspector Fulkerson says:
1T was the intention that these sky
lights should open automatically to
allow the escape of heat and smoke
and create draft which draw them
upward instead of allowing them to
pass out over the audience. But from
the information | have l am positive
that the opening of the skylights was
impossible, because beneath each Sec
ton of the lights had been placed
pieces of scantling, which remained
there until removed by employees of
the Fuller company on Thursday"
Little result followed the arrest of
seven men of the double octet which
was on the stage when the fire broke
out. 1t was expected that the men,
who were arrested Immediately after
the fire, would have much information,
but the contrary was the case.
I'VE kept on singing and dancing,
and did not even know that there was
fire until sparks fell upon the stage
and two girls of the double octet
tainted" said William Sleek, the first
witness called.
at is the rule of the stage that we
are fined If we turn our faces for
an instant from the audience. All l
know is that we stuck to our work
until we had to run for our lives"
Sleck's story was corroborated by
the six men who followed him.
The police have arrested George
NJ. Dusenberry, chief usher of the the
alter, on a charge of manslaughter.
Dusenberry declares that he tried to
hold back the rush or spectators and
later helped to save 80 women from
the damned front exits. He is held
to furnish evidence on the statements
made by many people in the theater
hat the ushers closed the doors and
that they at first refused to allow peo-
pie to pass out

Chicago, Jan. 5.-After tonight it
will, for some weeks at least, be prac-

sioner Williams has issued an order
closing all public halls, dance halls
and turnverein halls, and all similar
places of public assemblage, until in
spection has shown they are comply
ing with all provisions of the ordin-
ances. AS there are more than 5000
halls in Chicago, ranging in size from
those that will accommodate SO per-
sons up to those with a seeming capa-
city of 500, this order will effect prob
ably as many persons as the theater
closing order. Protests were numer-
Gus, but the building commissioner
was infeXible. He said:
MANY of these halls are worse than
any theater in Chicago Some of
them are put up with no restrictions
such as govern theaters, and many of
them are firetraps of the worst kind"
