sKYLIGHTs DID NOT WORK.
Fire Inspector Says Failure Of the Asbes-
tos Curtain to Work Did Not Cause
Iroquois Theater Disaster.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE overwhelming
mistake of the Iroquois disaster was
in the condition of the skylights and
ventilators above the stage" said Fire
Inspector Monroe Fulkerson. "Had the
ventilators over the stage been opened
or the skylights not been fastened
shut" he said, there would have been
no loss of life by fire, regardless OF
the asbestos curtain failing 10 work.
An employe of the theater failed to do
his duty of closing the metal reflect
ing trough and thus blocked the cur
tain. But the skylights were blocked
and wired so they could not open. The
heat of the flames finally broke two
panes Of the skylight, with the result
that there was instant relief from the
deadly draft sweeping the auditorium.
II the skylights had been entirely
opened, the flames would have been
diverted from the auditorium entire
ly."

Mormon Church.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The following
answer of Reed Smoot to the protest
against his retention Of a seat in the
United States senate was filed Sat-
urday:
"This respondent is advised and
AYERS that but two Of the charges
made against him in said protests,
either directly or by implication, are
such as, IL true, could legally affect
his right to hold his seat in the senate.
These two charges are:
Il. That the respondent is a polyga-
mist.
"2. That he is bound by some oath
or obligation which is inconsistent with
the oath required by the constitution

has either been taught or encouraged"

ONE MORE HORROR.
Seventeen Lives Crushed Out In
Railroad Wreck at Willard, Kan.
Engineer OF the Passenger Train Blamed
for This Latest Catastrophe-Faiied to
Obey Orders to Wait for n
Fast Freight.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 7.-Seventeen
dead and 81 injured Is the result OF the
Rock Island passenger wreck at Will
lars ,eeSterday morning. Most OF the
injured are in hospitals In Topeka.

Brockton, Ia; Grace Reed, Of Chilli
cothe, Mo-; Lenora Reed, of Chilli
Gothic, Mo-; unidentified boy, aged
eight.
The single word "carelessness" will
sum up the reasons for the tragedy.
Instructed to meet a special freight
train at Willard. the engineer and con-
ductor of the Inflated passenger, not
ing that a freight train stood on the
sidetrack at Willard, rushed through,
thinking that the cars they had seen
were the ones which they had been
instructed 10 pass. Failure to scru-
tinize the number Of the engine was
directly responsible for the wreck.
Had the engineer compared the num-
Der of the train at Willard with his
orders the catastrophe would have
been omitted.
Upon seeing at Willard a freight
train on the siding Engineer Benjamin
threw open the throttle and the i'm
petus of the full steam passenger
train leaped out into the darkness
and crashed along at rate which the
passengers declare to have been fully
65 miles an hour. Not note Of warn
ing of the fearful impending disaster
ever made itself known to the suf-
ferers.
The greatest fatality was in the third
car from the engine. This was day
coach and it was full Of passengers.
Immediately ahead of 1t was the smok-
ing car and between that and the en-
CINE was the baggage car. The smok-
ing car contained only few passen-
gers. The shock drove the smoking
car through the coach and all the peo-
pie in the front half OF the coach were
killed. This coach was so crowded
that some men were standing. There
were perhaps 80 persons in the car
and so or more of them were killed or
injured. From the middle Of the car
the manned persons were taken out
alive. In front of them all were killed.
Behind them the passengers were
thrown into struggling mass. Some
were wounded and others were trying
to get out.

Three years ago common boil aps
peared on the calf of my limb. Not yield-
ing to simple home remedies, I consulted
a physician, who prescribed poultice,
fax seed, supposedly. By some fearful
mistake I was given corrosive subli-
mate, and after having it on for few
minutes I could endure the pain no
longer, so took off the application and
found that my limb from the calfto the
ankle was in an awful condition. inn
mediately sent for another physician,
who told me I had been poisoned. My
limb from the calf to the ankle was one
solid infiamed sore. was advised to

under it's use, but about this time had
an attack oftyphoid fever, and this set
tied in the original sore. This, of course,
caused a back set, but having confidence
in the ability of s. s. s., began 1T again

make a long story short, was completely

THE VERY NEWEST SKIRT.
An Effective Model That May Be

Both in evening and in street gowns
the flounced skirt is an effective model
and is made in a variety of designs.
But it need not be understood from this
that only founced skirts are fashion
able. for there arc number of plain
or shirred ones that have fat bands

Ular is so modified and changed to suit
individual taste that there is much more

All the accessories of dress are ex-

is possible to make ore or two waists
DO duty for several, as these accessories
change the general effect of the waists
extraordinarily. White kid belts are for
the moment thought very smart. The
chiffon velvet and liberty satin bodices
that are so carefully boned and fitted ard
made in all colors will be worn with
the summer gowns and also with Yelling
gowns.
There is quite change in the FASH
ion of the stock collars. They are
wider, so that they cover the bard of
the collar; or, as is evident with the
summer gowns. the collarless neck is
70 he fashionable. There are some dain-
ty little collars. round in shape, with
long tabs in front. that are most attrac-
tive for the fortunate Individual who
has a pretty enough throat to wear a
gown made in that fashion.
