ONE VERY DEADLY LOCKED DOOR
1t May BE the One That Will Indict the
Theater People.

| 1t May BE the One That Will Indict the
Theater People.
Another interesting witness was
| James M. Strong, who testified that he
with his motherand wife bought stand
| ing room tickets for the performance,
| and were i'm the first balcony. When
the fire started he left the balcony,
| followed by his wife and mother, and
went to door which proved to be an
exit, but was locked. He threw him
self against the door but, could not
force it open, and then reached up and
broke the tranSom with his fist, pulled
himself up through the transom, drop
ping upon the outside of the door,
where he found a man with lot OF
tools, presumably carpenter.
The two men tried in every way to
break down the door from the outside
but could not, and then Strong pulled
himself up into the transom a second
time, intending if possible to pull his
mother and wife out in the same man.
ner as he had escaped. While he was
half way through the transom the
flames filled all that part of the thea
ter, his mother and wife were burned
in front of his eyes and he was so bad
ly scorched that for several days his
life was despaired Of.
1t is upon Strong's evidence that the
states attorney will largely rely if an
attempt is made to secure indictments
in connection with the fire.
George M. Dusenberry, head usher
of the theater, testified that he made
round of the theater just prior to the
commencement of the fire, and found
about seventy-five people standing. A
few were standing in the aisles and
these he requested to move back, as
the aisles must be kept clear. When
questioned as to the fire protection i'll
the house Dusenberry declared that
fire extinguisheTs were placed in diff
ferent parts of the theater, and near
the front door there was hose appar-
emily about fifty feet long
He had never received any instruc-
tons as to what should be done in case
of fire and had never issued any to the
ushers under him. He testified that
there were three doors leading from
the second balcony to the lobby, and
that one of these was locked, he hav-
ing fastened it himself with a key.
There were, he said, in passa geways
from the first and second balconies two
folding metal gates. Both were locked
with chain and paddock 1t was his
duty to lock these gates at the COM
mencement of performance and to
unfasten them at the close of the Sec
ond act.
He declared that all the exits except
those on the north side of the house
were unlocked, and upon the coroner
suggesting that some other employee
might have locked them during theper-
Torrance and forgotten to unlock
them, Dusenberry said it was not at
all probable.

STARTLED THE JURY.
Woman at Chicago SWears That
Six Doors lin the Iroquois
Theater Were Locked.
SAW PEOPLE FIGHTING FOR LIFE
Behind Them, She Declares, but They
Proved To Be Six Large
Mirrors.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-Startled by testr
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-
caust, the coroner's jury adjourned to
verify 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
Sayv 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 a graphic
story Of the fire. and with the eXcep-
ton of the mistake in regard to the six
doors was clear. and intelligent In
it's original form it was dramatic. In
her frantic flight from death in the
top balcony, Mrs. Lang stopped at the
foot 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 part of the play, but
it so alarmed her that she had no
mind for the performance of the dan
GERS, and shortly afterward started out
and gained safety. The immediate eff
feet of the sensation caused by Mrs.
Lang's testimony and it's correction is
a blow to much of the general testi-
mony being taken by the coroner, as
showing the mistakes into which wit
nesses to the fire and panic fell, under
the strain of great excitement.

WE PAY THE FREIGHT.

It is apparent that Redwood Falls
will have to establish a competing
telephone service.
There are now about 200 tele-
phones in use in the city. The
business houses and Offices pay a
monthly rent of So for each phone.
The residences pay a monthly rent
al of ST..
In Springfield, where the Mime
sofa Central Telephone Co., the
same concern which has monopoly
in Red wood Falls, has opposition
from local company, the rate for
residence phones is only so cents
per month. This rate ia announced
in an advertisement published this
week in the Springfield Advance,
and signed by the company.
Redwood Falls is regarded as one
of the best telephone towns in the
state in proportion to the popula-
ton. It is the best town that is
dominated by the Minnesota Cen
trail Co., and it is a fact that the
revenues derived by the company
here are used to make up for short
ages at other points.
The company even pulls local
merchants and business men to the
extent of paying for the directories
The company proposes to perpet
uate the rate here just as long as il
has no opposition. The moment
that the Twin City Telephone Co.
backed up by local interests and 9
new company is formed there viii
be something doing and prices viii
