IROQUOlS FIRE.
Believed Cause Of Deadly Wave Has
Been Discovered.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-The cause of the
deadly wave OF fire and super-heated
air which swept over the IrOluOiS mat
ince audience. bringing instant death
to hundreds. has been discovered by
investigators employed by Corporation
I Ounsel Toiman. The new theory will
be demonstrated before the grand jury.
The Investigations of Alfred Mace. Il
public appraiser. covering Il period OF
over three weeks, led him into Il large
air chamber above the east wall Of the
building. Within this chamber, into
which led ventilating ducts from every
part O: the theatre. Mr.. Mace found
y large electric f"n. which. when in
operati ion, produced Il draught of great
force. He is convinced that this FAM
was operating during the fire and that
iiie draft it produced sucked the fire
from the stage across the auditorium
and against the east wall. He found
the iron leaves of the fan melted in
places and believes that the draft pro-
'iuccd by no fan was great enough to
draw the fire itself into the air cham

moments to watch the children who
were coasting, and then turning into
Hillside street disappeared. He was

recognized him on the street. the po-
lice are hot after me. but they are on
the wrong trail. Until today l have
