Oglethorpe Company, K.
of P, TO Practically
ReOrganiZe
T. NEWMAN FOR CAPTAIN
He Will Again be Selected to Head
the Company-To Begin Drill
ing for the Prize Contest
in May.

The uniform rank Knights of Pyth-
las, will hold an interesting meeting in
their hall tonight, and among other
matters will occur the election of
officers.
In this connection it might be stated
that a News reporter learned yes
terday that Capt. T. Newman would in
all probability be reelected to that po-
sition. It will be remembered that
cy of this company some time ago,
but the members urged him to recon
slider his action, and it is believed
that he will again take the head of the
command.
1t is also understood that S. Levison
will be elected to the first lieutenancy
but no names are being mentioned in
connection with the place of second
lieutenant
1t is to be hoped that Oglethorpe
company will now get in good shape
again. The company has been on the
tcboggan lately, owing to the fact
that members lacked interest, but it
is believed with the election tonight
the company will take on new life
and will soon reach its old time
standard.
The brunswick company for years,
was the best drilled company in the
Georgia knights of Pvthias, and al
ways returned with prizes from the
annual drills at the meeting of the
grand lodge. The organization will
at once get in trim for the coming
dTiiI at Albany in May and it is safe tc
predict that, should they enter the
drill, they will return with first honors
The following is the order issued fol
the meeting tonight:
All members OF uniform rank
knights OF Pythias, company No. 4
are requested to attend a meeting al
X. of p. hall Wednesday night, Jan

ROQUOIS VERDICT.
Mayor Harrison and Six Off,
 cials to Be Arrested.
MUST ANSWER FOR 500 LIVES LOST
Warrants Kssued iand wilI Re Exc. eaaed Today-Three Weeks Prob 1nw by Coroner's Jury Has
 Sensational Ending.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-The coroner's jury, which for three weeks has been listening to evidence relating to the fire in the Iroquois theater, last night re- turned a verdict by which the follow ing persons are held to await the action of a grand jury:
 Garter Fl. Harrison, mayor of Chi cago.
 Will J. Davis, proprietor in part and manager of the theater. #.
 George Williams, building commis- sioner of Chicago.
 Edward Laughlin, building inspector under Williams.
 William Sallers, fireman in the thea ter.
 James E. Cummings, stage carpenter.
 William Mullen, who had charge of the light that caused the fire.
 The chief executive of the city is charged with gross incompetence in the mana cement of the city's affairs to such an extent that the jury believes that he is one of the direct causes of conditions that made the calamity pos sibIe.
 Chief W. H. Musham of the fire de partment is charged with lax manage ment of the fire department
 George Williams, commissioner of buildings, is found to be inefficient in the conduct of the department of which he is the head.
 The chief blame for the fire horror is charged to Will J. Davis, president of the Iroquois Theater company. F Orders for the arrest of the eight men were made out by Coroner Traeger and placed in the hands of two deputy sher- ifs. The coroner ordered the arrests to be made as soon as possible. A special grand jury will convene next week to reopen the, investigation and decide what action shall be take1, on the coroners report The charges to be made before the grand jury are malfeasance in office, so far as the city officials are concerned. Conviction means their removal from office in ad. dition to any other penalty that may be decided upon.
 Harry J. Powers associate manager of the theater, escaped. The impression he made before the ceroner's jury aideC him greatly, and the advice of severa members to find that he had done little beyond investing in the theater was finally accepted as unanimous.
 The arrest of the eight persons vii take place at once, and they will bt forced to give heavy bonds. Indict ments against each of the men will bs 1 asked, and others may be drawn into 1 the case later.

Mayor Harrison of Chicago is one Of those indicted as being par tiany responsible for the great loss Of life in the Iroquois theater fire in that city, The mayor, no doubt, like many other mayors, never gave the theater question thought, presum- ing. of course, they were all right. It is when big fire or other calamity oc- CUTS. that wipes out many lives. that such things are brought home to pub lie officials. Since the Chicago fire one Milwaukee company received in one day orders from Chicago for eigh- teen asbestos curtains, and from Mill waukee for four. cIn alnany theaters the asbestos curtains were raised and lowered between acts, as we'll as be- fore and after performances. In Eng land where special preventions such as wet blankets and bucket brigades and means for cutting away ropes ire required on the stage, and in Germany where literally lines of firemen instead of a single member of the force are on the stage for every performance, there is talk of stricter legislation.

To American eyes a farm in Moroc, co is hardly to be distinguished from the surrounding country. One sees no barns. nor granaIies, nor scarcely any sign of cultivated fields nor fence lines to define where the farm begins or ends, says g. writer in Outlook. The Moorish farm house looks like a series of crumbfing walls, not connected; but in different sections of the tumble down pile are three or four small. nar- Tow rooms, with no windows al1aea poor apology for a door. This is the pGeyalent style of dwelling throughout the country, with the exception of a few out of town residences of the rich and powerful. For even if a farmer should possess any wealth. he must hide all evidences of. 1t lest. he attract the rapacious eyes of governmental au- thorities. Even the little harvests the farmers have to hide away in pits to sceren them from the jealous and greedy eyes of the tax-gathereG. The farm implements are patriarcha5 in their simplicity; a few boughs tied to- gether, weighted with a heavy stone, and drawn by g mule or camel, con- stitute the farmers only harrow. dis plough is but a forked stick. Yet, though the soil is only scratched with such poor implements, it. is SO fertile
 that it yields abundant harvest in pro- portion to the small amount of labor expended.

4 Passion Play at Deston.

BOSTON, Jan 26. -A ''The Star of Bethlehem" miracle play, reproduced from the Old English Cycles by Pro- lessor Charles Mills Gayley of the Uni- versity of California, has been pre- scented at Chickering hall for the first time oil any stage by the Ben Greet English company, under the manage ment of Charles Frohman. Founded upon some thirty old plays such as were presented in the religious houses and in the streets of England 600 years ago, Professor 'Gayley has written q new story of the nativity, the passion and the resurrection. The simplicity of the gospel narrative was followed largely, being woven at times into scenes of strong dramatic action.

Railroad accidents are pretty costly, as has been shown by the amount paid out by the New York Central railroad for damages brought on by the Park avenue tunnel disaster B year or two ago. It cost the company $1, ,240, 900, the last claim, one of $4O,O00, having just been settled. This amount would go a long ways towards better equip ping the road, especially through the tunnel, with better and more modern safety appliances.
