ASBESTOS CURTAIN IN IRooUolS
THEATER WOULD NOT WORK
TWO WEEKS AGO.
SMALL FIRE OCCURRED AT THAT TIME
MAN IN CHARGE OF CURTAIN
GIVES DAMAGING EVIDENCE
ON EXAMINATION

Chicago, Jan. 6.-Eyidence showing
grosser criminal negligence than any
thing previously developed vas given
under oath in the fire department in
vestigation of the Iroquois horror.
Joseph Daugherty, who had charge
Of the curtain, swore that two weeks
ago during a matinee performance
there was a fire on the stage and that
when he attempted to lower the asbes-
tos curtain it was stopped by the same
obstruction that prevented it's opera
ton last Wednesday, the fatal after
noon.
The curtain manager declares that
he Notested 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.
It 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.
After the interview with Daugherty
Inspector Fulkerson said the rumors
Of a previous fire at the theater had
been investigated several days ago but
as it had been denied by most of the
authorities, including Will J. Davis,
he had been compelled to believe that
the report had had no proper basis.
$50 far as I can learn said In
spector Fulkerson, the fire two weeks
ago was in a pile of combustible mate
rial back of the stage and was ex-
tinguished without alarming the audi
ence. The fire curtain failed to work
and why this warning was disregarded

CONTRACTOR UNDER ARREST.
Charge Of Marslauehter Made but Aft
erWards withdrawn.

Chicago, Jan. 6-David Jones Of the
Fuller Construction company has been
formally charged with manslaughter.
The charge is made by the police.
Jones is alleged to have removed after
the fire the sl1ylight that prevented
the flames from going upward through
the roof and sent them instead deal
ing death through the audience
The police theory is that the re-
moval of the skylight showed knowl-
edge of the fastening of the skylight
before the fire. ~.

need not look to foreign freight to make

expect to develop an immense traffic in
heavy and bulky freight from the regions
reached by the Bangor & Aroostook lines

pany points out that at present 10000 car
loads OF this class Of freight is now shipped
annually from northern Maine via the St,
John river, and this it is proposed to divert
to the B. & A., and the new line, while a
muckgreater quantity will, it is confidently
expested, be added to the present traffic
by the rapid development of Aroostook
c0unty's resources which has been brought
about by the construction of the B. & A.
There are in Aroostook county 1000 600
acres of arabic lands, of which only about
100000 acres are now under cultivation. The
possibilities of the production of potatoes,
oats, hay and other important farm crops
as the vast undeveloped area is brought
under cultivation are vast beyond cOmpu-
tation. The farms are rapidly spreading
out, and while the cultivated areas expand.
the great forests are yielding immense
quantities of long and short lumber, inclu-
