COURT ORDERS CITY
TO ISSUE Il PERMIT
Judge Dunno Declares Owners
Have Right TO Remodel Iro-
quois Theater.

CHICAGO. May s1.-Judge Dunno to-day
issued writ OF mandamus ordering the
city TO issue building permit for the re-
modelling of the fire-stricken Iroquois Thea
ter. Judge Dunno issued the writ of man
damus at the prayer OF the owners of the
playhouse. The judge said:
IF a man desires TO open vaudeville
show in a private graveyard and the city
IS issuing permits of this kind, and if the
building complies with all ordinancesa the
city must issue the permit. The only OBJ
lection to the remcdeled theater is the con-
tention OF the city officials that the new
theater ordinance provides that the exits
lead to the street. while believe the Coun-
Gil members mean the exits should open on
the street level. On these grounds l grant
the mandamIs."
Benjamin *. Marshall, architect of the
theater. said that the Iroquois had been
remodeled so that now all the exits from
all balconies and galleries lead to the street
level. Former Manager T. j. Noonan, of
the Iroquois, testified that the ownership
OF the theater had been decided by the Iro-
quois Theater Company to William Harris,
OF Boston.

WOMAN'S CLUB To LEAVE
LOCAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN
Action Taken at Recent Meeting
of Organization Creates
Surprise.
CAUSE OF WITHDRAWAL

At a recent meeting of the indianapolis
Woman's Club the decision was made to
withdraw from the Local Council of
Women. the federation OF which includes
many of the women's organizations in In
dianapolis. The withdrawal has occasioned
much surprise among members of the Local
Council, because the Woman's Club has
been active in the work of the federation
and was one OF those clubs primarily in
terested in its organization.
An officer of the Woman's Club said last
evening that, while she was not present
at the meeting at which the decision was
made to withdraw from the Local Council,
she was Of opinion that the reason for the
action was that the Womans Club is pure
ly literary and not interested in many of
the things done by the Local Council.
The specific reason given by the Woman's s
Club for its secession" was that neither
the club nor the council was deriving any
benefit from their connection"
One reason assigned by a member Of the
Local Council for the withdrawal was that
the Women's Club probably considered that
too heavy calls for financial help had been
made upon it by the Local Council for the
entertainment Of the executive commit
tee OF the National Federation of Women's
CLUBS last February, and again for the re-
cent entertainment of Prince Pu Lun This
was denied last night by member of the
Woman's Club
The statement that the withdrawal of
the Womans Club from the Local Coun-
Gil deprived Mrs. May Wright Sewall, a
member of the former organization from
membership in the council and so made her
position as delegate from the council to
the meeting of the International Fedora
ton of Womens Clubs in Europe-to
which she is now on her way-an anom-
alous one, was denied by a member of the
Woman's Club. 1t is stated that Mrs
Sewall has membership in several other or
ganiZations that are members of the Local
Council and is not deprived of member
