HARRISON NOT TO BLAME.
Chicago Mayor Exonerated in lroquois
Theater Case.

Chicago. Jan 28.-It has been de.
cfded by Mayor Harrison to sue out
q writ of habeas corpus for his mme.
diate release from the coroners jury
charge holding him to the grand jury
as one of the eulprits responsible for
the wholesale loss of life al the lro-
qnois fire. Promptly following the de
cision the mayor, accompanied by his
bondsmen and an attorney. appeared
at the criminal court building. where
Mayor Harrison formally surrendered
himself TO Sheriff Barrett and thus
nullified the bond of $4,000 given in
court Tuesday TO secure the mayors
freedom from literal custody. Notice
was simultaneously served on the
states attorney that an application
for a writ of habeas corpus would al
once be filed with Judge Tuthill.
The mayors course was said to es
tablish a new precedent in the use oil
the writ Of habeas corpus, as his al
rest while in Office was unusual

back of it all.
The reading of the verdict of the
coroner's jury was that ttf mayor and

A writ OF habeas corpus is regarded
as the speediest method OF discharge
known, although its application in
case previous to action by grand
Jury is said to be distinct novelty.
Mayor Harrison was late in the day

upon the mayor, who had failed In n'

Both ears were northbound ana

cured while the front car was sta
tionary, owing to a quarrel between
the conductor and a passenger over a
fare. The second car was coming at
high speed through the fog, the motor
man ringing his gong. When less
than 100 feet away the front car
doomed through the fog. The motor
man stuck to his post. but il was use
less to try to avoid a crash. The slip
perry tracks made quick stop even
more difficult than usual and the car
slipped into the front one. No one OF
the 100 passengers in the two cars
knew that the accident was impending
until the crash came. The second car
crushed its way through the rear OF
the front car until II reached almost
the middle Of if. The dozen or more
passengers on the rear platform OF
the front car were jammed together

could not withstand the force of the

crushed and the passengers inside
were thrown about on the floor and

MACY CZAR'S FORCES ARE
READY FOR WAR.

Paris Jan 2S.-OfTicial advices re-
ceived here from St Petersburg show
that Foreign Minister LamsdorH, be-
fore giving Russia's answer, has called
in the Japanese minister, M. kurlno.
The Two ministers are now confefring
with the view of SO shaping the res
ponse as to avoid a conflict. This is
considered TO be an explanation OF the
dispatch from Toxic saying Japan has
requested Russia 10 hasten her reply.
AS Count I.amsdorff and NJ. kurlno
are having conferences prior TO the
submission of the reply IL Is regarded
as evidence of JapanS insistence OF
an early answer and of Russia's desire
to avoid response which might pre-
cipitate hostilities. Count Lamsdorlf 5

is added if the efforts OF Russia fan
she will be prepared 10 strike very
hard blows from the outset
All information reaching the hlgh-
est quarters here tends TO show inat
the crisis continues acute. 1t appears
to be the accepted conviction In gov
ernmental circles that the final de-
termination
Between Peace and War
cannot be long deferred. The officials
continue TO hope for peace, but they
make the reservation that the discour-
aging aspect which the situation as
sumed during the last few days has
not ameliorated.
A categorical denial is given SO far
as France is concerned TO the Peklng
report that the French minister IS TAX
ing part in negotiations with the view
of the mediation of France, Great
Britain and the United States. For
eign Minister DelcasSe has not gwen
any instructions TO the minister al
Picking permitting exchanges OF thai
character and the minister has not
reported such a movement. That pof-
ton of the report representing France
as being behind Russia in urging medl-
alton and the United States and Great
Britain as opposed TO mediation IS
construed here as an effort 10 create
the impression that Great Britain ana
the United States are acting tOgethef
and apart from France. whereas the

Story Of Stable Boy Who Has Wcr
s250oOo This Season.

In Is area Of plunging It Is re-
freshing TO come across character
who must be included in the category
OF big betters, but who has done his
work on the race track so quietly and
modestly as to almost escape notice.
What is more OF interest is the fact
that although big winner on the
season so far, this self-same plunger
retains a modest position with small
racing stable, gallopIng horses in the
morning with the same enthusiasm
that he displayed when the work meant
only monthly wage TO him.
Pierre Nagle is the name that the
stable boy subscribes to his bills and
bank checks; and those close to him
say that that name will be honored to
the extent Of quarter of a million
dollars. While the turf writer's have
strained imagination and overworked
figures in mad rush to chronicle the
doings Of Yeager, Langdon and whee-
lock, and other big operators Of the
betting arena, Nagle, probably the
heaviest winner Of the racing season,
has been overlooked.
His winning Of the season have been
approximately placed by those who
know at 100000. Nagle rejects this
figure as excessive, but those who
know him best insist that the real
amount Of his winnings win not fall
short Of quarter OF q million.
