TO OPEN AGAIN.
IrOquOis Theater to Resume
Under New Name, 'Tis Said.

Chicago, March 4.-Many Chicagoan as
were Mortified today by the published
statement in Chicago papers that the
roquOiS theater is to actually reopen
as an amusement resort and that the
first attraction will be booked for June
l. The firm of A. H. Andrews & Co.
has been asked to submit bids for fur
nishing the seats, and James H. Merle,
secretary of the company. said it was
stipulated that the seats be in place
before June 1. The w. 2. Nelson com
pany, painters and decorators, have
contracted for the painting and part
of the decorations. Marshall Field &
Co. have secured the contract for plac-
ing the remainder.
People who have passed the play
house on Randolph street have sus-
pected for some time that an opening
was contemplated. The sound of ham
ners comes from the building at any
hour of the day and a small army of
steamf1tters and mechanics report ev-
cry morning. They are placing the
pipes, which are covered with asbestos.
One story is that the playhouse is 10
be converted into a vaudeville theater.
This is not generally believed, for the
reason that the decorations and fur
nishings will be as magnificent as were
those that were consumed by the
flames and theatrical managers say
this means that high class attractions
will again hold the boards. The name
of the theater is also causing some
speculation. 1t is certain that it will
not be known as the Iroquois and sew
eral stories are that it will be called
the Northwest.

FOUND IN RUINS.
Man Buried by darlington Dis
aster Lived 30 Hours.

New York March 4.-After living
more than 80 hours under the mass of
steel beams and other debris of the col
lapsed Hotel Darlington, Charles Lasek,
a cement worker, died early today while
being taken to a hospital in an ambu-
lance. This increases the known dead
to fifteen.
The finding of a live human being
amidst the mass of iron work, brick and
mortar shortly after o'clock this morn
ing was perhaps the. most sensational
liar disasters in this city. From the
hour of the collapse hundreds of men
have struggled amid the wreckage with
derricks to get to the bottom of the
pile, where more than half a dozen dead
workmen were known to lie. Suddenly
when a heavy beam had been hoisted
a man half pinioned below was seen to
move. A great shout went up and hur-
ry calls were made for an ambulance.
Owing to the position of the imprisoned
man great care had to be exercised in
freeing him and nearly an hour elapsed
before this was accomplished. Mean
while the surgeons had crawled into the
pile and reached his side. He was given
stimplants and hopes were strong of
saving the man who had escaped death
in the crash and then fought off suffo-
cation and starvation so long He was
carefully lifted into an ambulance but
died before the hospital was reached.
One arm had been broken and there
was a great hole in the mans head.
His vitality must have been tremendous
to survive so long with these injuries.
not to mention his position in the debris.
At the hospital Laseks identity was
quickly established by means of a union
card in one of his pockets.

NEW FIGURING MILL.
w. l.. Taylor Proposes to Erect
One in North Topeka.

w. L. Taylor, of the Taylor Commis-
sion company, will erect a Touring mill
in North Topeka adjoining the elevator
which it now operates. A mill build
ing will be erected just west of the
Taylor elevator, which used to be
known as the Capital elevator. 1t will
be operated by electric power and will
begin with a capacity of 500 barrels of
flour daily
for Topeka, and as the prospect is that
it will rapidly increase its capacity
after it's establishment it will be an
important addition to the milling busi-
ness of the town, which is already very
considerable.
The erection of the new mill in North
Topeka will be striking evidence of
the faith of Topeka people in the part
of town which was asserted to have
been ruined by the flood of last year.
The new Taylor mill will be put into
operation as soon as possible.

but not how said Senator Foraker.
What I want to know is whether the
members of the church were compelled
to practice the polygamous marriages,
and if that is true why it is that only
or per cent. of the Mormons have
practiced what has been declared to be
divine command"
Mr.. Smith called for a copy of the
book of doctrine and covenants and
read a part of the revelation, which he
said had been accepted in the nature
of permission to take plural wives and
was not mandatory upon the members
of the church. Other passages from
the same revelation were read, partlc-
ularly the portions which prescribe the
manner of taking more than one wife.
1t was set forth that if one wanted to
espouse second virgin he could do so
by obtaining the consent of the first,
but that if the consent of the first was
withheld he was at liberty to proceed
without it. 1t is set forth also that
where the first refuses consent to
share her husband with another wo-
man she would be destroyed"
Senator Pettus asked the meaning of
the word destroyed in that sense.
Mr.. Smith answered that he would
be destroyed by the Lord, but that he
was not informed Just how the Lord
would go about it
Then it does not mean that the hus-
band could destroy herr" Senator Pet
tus asked.
mo, never"
Il take it then that the question of
getting a wife's consent to marry
again might just as we'll be eliminated
entirely" said Senator Beveridge.
Just as well.'' answered the witness
Senator Overman asked Mr.. Smith
if he knew whether any one of the six
polygamist apostles had disobeyed the
law in regard to polygamous cohabita-
tion since the manifesto of 1890.
Il do not know" said Mr.. Smith. 81
only know that they were in the same
status of polygamy at the time of the
manifesto as I was myself l do not
pry into their family affairs. 1 am hap
py to say that I am not = 'spotter or
an 'informer.' I am not a paid spy"
yet you might without being paid
spy?" persisted Senator Overman.
Il know nothing about it. AS I have
said I am not a spotter or informer,
ter and informer were Kissed rather
than spoken.
Neither am I a paid spotter or in
former" retorted Senator Overman.
yet I know that in my town people
have children. I think you might an
swer that question without using the
words 'spotter' and 'informer' in that
manner"
L beg the senator's pardon the wit
ness responded.
Senator Dubois asked several ques-
tions direct to determine the correctness
of the statements that not more than
three or four per cent of the M0rmOnS
were polygamists, and said he believed
he could show that a greater per cent
charge. He asked Mr.. Smith how many
of his predecessors had been polyga-
mists and Mr.. Smith said he believed
that all of them had had plural wives

KELLY WAS KIND.
Lieutenant Governor Hanna Ex-
plains $4,000 Check.

Lieutenant Governor D. ]. Hanna has
given out an explanation concerning the
$4,000 check which has caused a great
deal of comment. It is evident from
Mr.. Hanna's statement that Mr.. Kelly
is using the Kansas state funds to do a
banking business. The statement makes
the methods used by the treasurer plain
and unravels mystery which has
caused considerable comment. Mr.. Han
mas statement is as follows:
The State Journal prints a copy of a
$4,000 check payable to me, given by
the firm of Hanna & Mullaney, and en-:
dorsed by State Treasurer Kelly. Evi-
IDENTIFY the purpose of the publication
was to cast reflection upon Mr.. Kelly
My partner and I had a business
transaction in Topeka involving $4,000
I had planned to come here to look after
the matter, but was detained. Mr.. Null
laney came in my place, bringing the
check referred to. The check was made
payable to me. and I endorsed it. Mr..
peka-Mr. Kelly-and he went to him to
have his check cashed. Mr.. Kelly,
knowing the firm to be good for the
money, cashed the check
THE check, 1 believe, has not been
questioned, even by the Journal 1t
went to Kansas City and then to Hill
City, where the bank on which It was
drawn paid it.
F"That's all there is about the 'mys-
terry Ordinarily 1 would not make an
explanation about a private business
deal, and l speak now only because ]
see that the matter is used in an effort
to besmirch somebody My checks don't
usually attract SO much attention al
though some of the Topeka banks have
cashed larger ones than that which Mr.
Kelly very kindly cashed for my part

KILLED BY A CAR.
Five Year Old Leon Grady's Life
Crushed Out.
Fell on the Track as He Was
Running Across.
DEAD WHEN PICKED UP
Front Wheels Pass Over Little
Body Cutting 1t in Two.
Accident Occurred on North
Kansas Avenue.

Between IL and II o'clock today Leon,
the little 5-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. NJ. Grady, of S36 North Kansas
avenue. was run over by an electric
car and instantly killed. The little fell
low had started to cross the street
ahead of the north bound car.
Motorman Edwards and Conductor
Crandell were in charge of the car.
and did not see the little boy until he
was directly on the track. He had evi-
IDENTIFY stumbled and fallen in front of
the car. They did everything in their
power to stop the car, but it was too
late, the front wheels passing COM
pletely over the child, literally disem-
boweling him. Conductor Crandell and
Motorman Edwards were at his side
almost before the car stopped and
carried the body into the drug store of
Petro e Woodford.
The accident occurred in front of w.
c. Steele's shoe store, at S36 Kansas
avenue. In speaking of the sad affair
Mr. Steele said: Il was in the rear of
my store when l saw the car suddenly
stop, and I walked to the front door
to see what was the matter. There l
saw the child lying on the track mid
way between the wheels and the men
beginning to lift him up. 1 went out
and near by saw one of his little hands.
This l picked up, and Mr.. McMaster
and 1 placed it in a shoe box, together
with portion of his liver. 1t was a
terrible sight"
DR.. Samuel Ashmore, who was at his
office window over the Lacey drug
store, was an eye witness of the acci-
dent and was of the opinion that the
motorman was at fault.
Mr.. Clarence Huff who was also an
/ eye witness said: Il had been talking
to Leon only minute before and had
turned to go to the barber shop. The
car was running very slowly at the
time and it is my opinion that the mo-
tOrman and conductor did everything
in their power to prevent the tragedy
What makes the affair doubly hard
is that Mrs. Grady had intended to take
her little son to Atchison last Sunday
and leave him with her mother for an
account of business matter from MAX
ing this trip. She had, however, ar
ranged matters so as to leave for
AtchiSOn the first of next week. Mr..
Grady, the little ones father is in St.
Louis and the family expected to go
there this summer to make their home.
Mr. and Mrs. Grady came to Topeka
early last fall and Mr.. Grady was man.
ager of the Rose Dry Goods company.
Their little boy was an unusually
bright child and a general favorite. His
mother is now almost crazed with
grief. Mr.. and Mrs. Grady made their
home at 836 Kansas avenue in the
second story of the building occupied
by the Rose company. During the alb
sence of Mr.. Grady in ST Louis Mrs.
Grady has had charge of the store and
her little son was well known to all
customers and to many of the business
men. The coroner was notified of the
accident and ordered the body removed
to the undertaking rooms of Willitts
& ConWell, where he will hold an in
quest this afternoon or tomorrow.
