MAYOR HARRISON OF CHICAGO IS
DISCHARGED FROM CUSTODY
TuthlII, Before Whom
the Chief Executive Is
Brought on a Writ of Habeas
Corpus, Finds Harrison Was
In No Way Responsible for
the lroquois Theater Fire.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-On habeas cor
pus proceedings Mayor Harrison was
this afternoon ordered by Judge Tut
hill to be Immediately discharged from
custody in connection with any re-
sponsibility for the wholesale loss OF
life in the Iroquois theater fire.
The judge declared that the mayor
was in no way whatever guilty or LA
BILE and that the coroners jury in Or
dering Mayor Harrison held to the
grand jury had put an unjust stigma
upon the mayor, who had failed in no
particular whatever either in omission
or commission. He said:
II find that there were gross viola
tions, not only of city ordinances, but
of common rules of safety, that any
one with expert experience would have
said were not essential. But how any,
body who could be put at the head of
city government could be held respons-
ible for them 1 cannot conceive.
'It seems to me it would be just as
logical to say that because there had
been a destruction of a building at
West Point or Annapolis by fire and
lives lest there, the president of the
United States should be held over by
a coroner's jury to answer for an in
dictment by grand jury for criminal

ON The COWCATCHER
Train Performs Freaks With
John Hancrow.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-"Block the linn
tied. There's man on the cowcatch-
er." This message, flashed along the
Pennsylvania line, told the story of a
railroad accident just outside Of Chi
cago, which nearly cost mans life
and which trainmen say was almost
unprecedented in their experience.
John Hancrow, while crossing the
track at Park Manor, was caught from
his feet, hurled in the air, recaught the
cowcatcher, and while the train sped
on nearly mile a minute, he saved
himself by wrapping his arms around
the iron beams in front Of the engine.
Two of his ribs and one of his legs
were broken, yet in spite Of freezing
temperature, he chung for four miles,
unable to get signal to the engineer
and fireman, who were only few feet
behind him. Not until telephone mes
sages were sent ahead and the train
was stopped by signal at the River
Line Station was the man rescued.
Hanerow will probably recover.

GIRL HURRIES UP
MARRIAGE CEREMONY

Special to The Globe.
LA CROSSE, Wis, Jan. 27.-Because
she feared the length of the marriage
ceremony would cause her to be late in
preparing her fathers supper, Miss
Matilda Felske, pretty and nineteen,
interrupted the ceremony to hurry
County Judge Brindley with the pro-
ceedings. The groom, William Martin,
looked aghast at the girl who was be-
ing made his bride as fast as careful
Judge and the unwavering law would
allow, but refrained from interference.
"Please hurry. judge" asked the girl
nervously.
1T will take but a few minutes re-
piled the magistrate, opening the book,
answering in the belief that the ner-
vousness was caused by the ceremony
alone.
But I can't wait I'm in an awful
hurry" came the startling statement.
The judge looked askance and the
embarrassed groom gazed in astonish-
ment, while the witnesses Uttered.

she said, blushing deeply. Hes so
awful hungry and tired when he is
through his work at night

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81
Speaker Cannon has promised to help
Representative Charles H. Burke do
enough legislation this session to con-
vince his constituents that he is wor-
thy to be returned to congress. Re
ports have reached Washington that
Burke is in a bad way at home and
that unless he makes some kind of a
strike for popularity he will have to re-
tire, while other loyal patriots hold his
seat in the house. So he is moving
heaven and the speaker to get action
this session on his bill to open up lot
Of Indian lands.
Speaker Cannon knows the neceSSi-
ties of politics and has a warm spot in
his heart for statesman in a hole, SO
he promised today to recognize Burke
to get unanimous consent to set an
early date for the consideration for the
BILL which already has been reported
from the committee. In case consent is
not granted he says, he will have the
committee bring in a rule, which is the
compulsory method. Burke has been in
congress three terms, during which
time local complications in South Da-
kota, particularly In the state capital
fight, have caused thorns and political
brambles to grow in the corners of his
fences. He is now in the business of
saving his political life

DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 27.-Bert
Loomis and H. e. Anderson, who are
employed at John Sibleys camp. on
the Boy river, were treed by wolves
early yesterday morning and compelled
to remain in hiding for two hours, when
the animals were frightened away.
The men had been staying at a camp
belonging to Samuel Simpson, of Min
neapolis, and before daylight they arose
and started to the Sibley headquarters.
They had walked only short distance
when the wolves appeared. The men
lost no time in getting up into tree.
In the dim light they could distinguish
the animals circling about their perch.
Then the wolves took up their station
under the tree, swapping and snarling
and making vain efforts TO get at their
prey.
Although the men were in danger or
freezing, they huddled together as best
they could and waited for relief. When
the sun came up the beasts heard
noise that frightened them and made
off through the woods. Then Loomis
and Anderson came down and finished
