Twenty-Six Russians at Lin
coin Have Dread
Disease.

Lincoln, Nebr., December %,
Residents near Ninth and H
streets today reported to Health
Officer Rhode that twenty-five
Russians living in the vicinity
have leprosy. The alleged
lepers returned from the beet
fields a week ago. The informant
reported that a physician had
tried to rent several rooms for a
sanitarium in which to cure the
lepers, and thought he could re-
move all traces of the disease in
two weeks. The Russians have
been doing washing ir
families in the city. The
authorities are investigating the
matter.

Found In Burning Theater By
Is PILED Nearly To The Ceiling,
y That Has Occurred Since The Fire That
- Of Chicago--Scenes Where Death Reaped
BsF1arvest Were So Horrible as To Scken the

audience rose as one person and
made for the doors. It is be1iev-
ed that the explosion was caused
from the flames coming in contact
with the gas reservoirs of the
theater, causing them to burst.
Will II. Davis, manager of the
theater, said after the catastro-
phe, that if the people had re-
NAMED in their seats and had
not been excited by the cries
of fire, not a single life
would have been lost. This is,
however, contradfcted by the
statements of the fremen, who
found numbers of people sitting
in their seats, their faces direct
ed toward the stage as if the per-
Torrance was still going on. 1t
was the opinion of the fremen
that these people had been suf-
located at once by the flow of gas
which came from behind the
asbestos curtain.
AS near as can be estimated,
at the present time. about thir-
teen>hundred people we're in the
theater. Three hundred of these
were on the first floor, the bal
ance being in the upper balconies
and in the Railways back ofthem.
The theater is modelled after
the Opera Comique, in Paris, and
from the rear of each balcony
there are three doors leading to
passageways toward the front of
the theater. Two of these door
ways are at the end of the bal
conY, and one being in the center.
The audience in it's rush for the
outer air seems to have, for the
greater part, chosen to flee to
the left entrance, and to attempt
to make it's way down the east
ern stairway leading into the lob
by of the theater.
Outside of the burned and suf-
located by gas, it was in these
two doorways on the first and
second balconies that the great
est loss of life occurred. When
the firemen entered the building
the dead were found stretched
in pile reaching from the head
of the stairway at least 8 feet
from the door back to point a.
bout 5 feet in the rear of the door.
+ This mass of dead bodies in
the center of the doorways
reached to within 2 feet of the
top of the passageway. All of
the corpses at this point were
women and children. The fight
for life which must have taken
place at these two points is
something that is simply beyond
human power to adequately de-
cribe. Only faint idea of it's
horror could be derived from t he
aspect of the bodies as they lay.

employees of the Iroquois theater
were arrested tonight on orders
issued by Chief of Police O'Neil.
The charge against them is at
present that of being accessory
to mans1aughter. They will be
held pending the verdict of the
coroner's jury. The men arrest
ed are:
William Charlton, stage man
ager; Edward Cummings, sgate
carpenter; Frank Jandrew, r M
Cummings, E Engle. Thomas
Mcqueen, S ] Malone.
The first five are stage hands
and scene Shutters.
After being taken in custoday
by the the police, four of the men
told Chief O'Neil that they had
been requested by people con
nected with the theater to leave
the city. When asked who ad.
Yised them to do this, they at
first refused to say, but later adj
mitted that the advice was given
by Assistant Stage Manager
Plumkitt.
They said they were about to
follow Plumkitt's advice, and all
of them had packed their trunks
and would have been out of the
city had not the police arrested
them.

TROUBLE BREWS
ON THE ISTHMUS
Administration May Lend Troops to Pana-
ma Before Ratification Of the
New Treaty.

Toxic, December 31.-The
completion of all the necessary
preparations for eventua1ities
will be followed by temporary
lull, pending the receipt of
Russia's relull, pending the
receipt of Russia's reply. 1t is
said at Seoul that the Russian
minister is trying by every means
to induce the Korean court to
grant Russia a lease of Masampho
as naval station.
The unreast in southern Korea
continues.
WAR RISKS IMPOSED.
Moscow, December 31.-The
imposition of war risks today by
the insurance companies on ships
hence to the Far East was the
first local intimation that Russo
Japanese hostilities were consid-
cred within the bounds of posi-
bility. There is no war talk,
however, nor excitement. The
general apathy of the Muscovities
is evidenced by the absence of
the sighting editorial reference
in the Moscow daily newspapers.
The news which is fltering in is
published without comment.
The Manchurian correspondent
Of The Moscow Gazette says the
Chinese plan, in the light of a
campaign, is to maintain $4,000
picked troops along the line of
Slnmintun branch of the Manch-
urian railroad, and cut off the
communication, thus isolating
New Chwang and Port Arthur
He adds that the reoccupation of
Mukden by the Russians was
effected chiefly for the purpose
of checking this move.

DEATH OVERLOOK WOMEN
CRAWLING OVER CORPSES.


CRAWLING OVER cORPsEs.
Women on top of these masses
of dead had been overtaken by
oath as they we're crawling on
their hands and knees oyer the
bodies of those who had died be-
fore. Others lay with arms
stretched out in the direction to-
ward which lay life and safety,
holding in their hands fragments
of garments not their own. They
were evidently torn from the
clothing of others whom they had
endeavored to pull down and
trample under foot as they fought
for their rwn lives.
AS the police removed layer
after layer of dead in these door
ways the sight became too much
even for police and fireman hard
ened as they are to such scenes,
to endure. The bodies we're in
such an inextricable mass and so
tightly were they jammed be-
tween the sides of the door and
the walls that it was impossible
to lift them one by one and carry
them out. The only possible
thing to do was to seize a limb or
some other portion of the body
and pull with main strength.
Men worked at the task with
tears running down their cheeks
and the sobs ofthe rescuers could
be heard even in the hall below,
where this awful scene was be-
ing enacted. A mum Der of men
were compelled to abandon their
task and give it to others, whose
nerves had not as yet been shak-
en- by the terrible experience.
AS one by one the bodies were
dragged out of the water-soakcd,
blackened mass of corpses, the
spectacle became more and more
heart-rending. There we're wo-
zen whose clothing we're torn
completely from their bodies
above the waist, whose bosoms
had been trampled into a pulp,
and whose faces were married be-

around began cheering
The program is TO destroy, if pos
sible. something ike 100000 bales OF
cotton in the States between North
Carolina and Texas.
The destruction of this amount
OF the crop is expected to force the
price beyond twelve cents. in which
even the growers it IS estimated. will
lose nothing by TIE destruction. Cot
ton was burned in nearby villages.
The planters have been made desper-

they have been driven to the wall and
are making this final effort to save
themselves from ruin.
