Candidate, In His Letter of Acceptance
Dwells on His Party's Record.
Senator Charles Warren Fairbanks,
Republican nominee for Vice President,
has formally accepted the honor In
letter addressed to Elihu Root of New
York. who was chairman of the notihca-
ton committee. The Senator heartily
commends the principles of the party as
voiced in the platform adopted at the
Chicago convention, and in their order
he discusses public economics as illus
trated by the expenditures revenues ana
retrenchments of the last two admlnlstra-
tons; the foreign policy as it relates
to the European and Asiatic countries
and to the treaties which have been
made during the last seven years; OF the
governments neutral attitude to the bel
Iigerents in the Orient; of tariff and tariff
revision; of reciprocity and the treaty
consummated with Cuba. and of the eff
forts made to cement a reciprocal tie
with the Dominion of Canada; of the
trust question and of legislation to re-
duce to a minimum the evils following
illegal combinations; of ''sound" money;
of the Panama canal and the Presidents
part in negotiating the Panama treaty;
Of the Philippines, and finally of irriga-
ton in the arid West and the disappear
ance Of sectional differences.
Concerning the administrations record
in public economy, the Senator says that
1--WE have pursued no parsimonious pol
Icy on the one hand nor INDUCED in ex-
travagance on the other. We have meas
ured the public expense by the public
necessity"
He declares the foreign policy Of the

just and firm, and has made for the ad-
vancement of peace"
The Senator asserts that, so far as
the tariff question is concerned, the diff
ference between the two great parties rs
radical and fundamental" OF tariff re-
vision he says: "a revision Of duties
should be made only when conditions
have changed so that public interest de-
mands their alteration, and they should
be revised so as to preserve and not de-
stroy the protective principle"
The Senator says the Presidents
course in Panama merits most general
| approval A brief history Of the negotia-
tons leading to the Panama treaty is
given.

OFFICE FORCE TOO SMALL

But There Seems to Have Been General
Consent That Anything Goes"
Neither he nor any member of his
department so far as he knew had
any knowledge as to whether auto
matte sprinklers had been placed in the
theater or not. When asked whether
he had questioned Inspector Laughlin
he said he had asked him no questions
at all. Coroner Traeger demanded to
know if there was anybody in the Of
fee of the building ngcommissionerw whose
business it was to see whether the
inspectors did their duties. Williams
reply was: "Once in a while l have
done So"
Commissioner Williams, being hard
pressed by the coroner as to why the
building inspectors had not performed
their duties in a more thorough man.
ner. replied that his office force was
far too small to do the work imposed
upon it. He had but eighteen men all
told, and the work was large enough
for fifty. He had made repeated re-
quests for additional help, but was
Informed that the city could not afford
to pay them.
When asked by the coroner why the
theater building was not inspected be-
fore it was allowed to be opened Com
missioner Williams said it was inspect.
ed on the afternoon of the day Oh
which it was opened. The coroner
pointed out that the report simply said
that the building had been inspected,
but did not refer to equipments of any
kind. The commissioner replied that
the report of an inspection was all he
had to show. ~
In fact. Commissioner williams tes-
timony showed that the Office he holds
needs reorganizing so that something
is required of those employed there
and that it shall be somebody's bust
ness to see that the laws are obeyed;
1t seems to be nobody's business now.

RUSSIA ASSURES THE POWERS
Says She Will Recognize and Respect All
Treaties Regarding Manchuria.

Treaties Regarding Manchuria.
Paris. Jan. l3.-The foreign office
advlces confirm the statements that
the Russian foreign minister. Count
Lamsdorff. has given assurances Of
Russia's intention to recognize and re-
spect the treaties between China and
foreign powers relative to Manchuria.
The official view here is that Rus
sia has thereby given Japan and all
the foreign powers strong guarantee
for the protection of commerce under
theif respective treaties. III
1t Is maintained that these treaty
guarantees are all the European pow
ers could possibly desire in Man
churia, as the powers have not the
slightest political aspirations there.
Therefore there is strong view in Of
fetal quarters that the sentiment in
Europe and the United States should
encourage in every way possible ter
mination of the controversy on the
basis of Russia's latest concessions.
When Japan's answer to the latest
Russian note will be given is not yet
disclosed. but IL 1t is long deferred,
or if it becomes evident that Japan
Is likely to act in manner to pre-
cipitate conflict. then-according to
the official view here-it Is probable
that some means will be found to bring
to the attention Of Japan that the SEN
timent of the powers is favorable to q
termination Of the conflict

STARTLED THE JURY
Woman at Chicago Swears That
Six Doors in the iroquois
Theater Were Locked.
SAW PEOPLE FIGHTING FoRLIFE
Behind Them. She Declares, but They
Proved To BE Six Large
Mirrors.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-Startled by test-
mony to the effect that six additional
doors opening from the second balcony
of the Iroquois theater were closed
while the people fought frantically
back of them to escape from the holo-
canst. the coroner's jury adjourned to
yerify personally the evidence. Amid
the ruins of the playhouse the witness.
who accompanied the jurors. corrected
her testimony and admitted that what
she had taken for doors were mirrors
over the foyer front of the second bal
cony. The members of the jury heaved
a sight of relief at this discovery. for
the woman's evidence was the most
startling yet submitted.
Saw People Fighting to Get Out.
The witness who gave the jury and
the coroner's officers such fright was
Mrs. Rosa Lang, 1880 Oakdale ave-
nue. Her testimony made graphic
story of the fire. and with the excep-
ton of the mistake in regard TO the six
doors was clear and intelligent. In
its original form ii was dramatic. In
her frantic flight from death in the
top balcony, Mrs. Lang stopped at the
fcot of the grand staircase and count
ed what she supposed to be six doors
back of which humanity fought to es-
cape from terrible death. Since the
day of the holocaust Mrs. Lang had
carried that horrible picture in her
mind.
Hits Much General Testimony.
When she first saw the fire she
thought it was a part of the play. but
1t so alarmed her that she had no
mind for the performance of the dam
GERS, and shortly afterward started out
and gained safety. The immediate cf-
feet of the sensation caused by Mrs.
Lang's testimony and its correction Is
q blow to much of the general testi-
mony being taken by the coroner. as
showing the mistakes into which wit
nesses to the fire an6 panic fell. under
the strain of greet excitement.
