Petty larceay.

While the Godfrey show was here
last Friday night someone cut the
guy rope used to hold the wire
taught upon which Godfrey per-
formed, and stole the block and
tackle. Besides being very small
and contemplate trick, this is a
good way to advertise the town as
containing an undesirable element.
We understand that it is a party
out of town who did the stealing,
but that makes no difference, the
town will get the name wherever
Godfrey goes.
The list of bills allowed at the
July meeting of the Board of

but if you want to know what they

coming. We are not much surpris-
ed that the Board does not want the
public to know what some of the
money is spent for.

Theater Owners Did
as They Pleased.
TESTIMONY AT THE INQUEST
Building Inspector Had Never Read
His tructions-lgnorant of
His Authority.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-The Iroquois in
quest this morning brought out wit
nesses whose testimony had been
awaited with interest since the fire.
William Curran, the building inspector.
who visited the theater a short time
before the fire has been an inspector
for IS years. He said the former chief
inspector, Barry, gave him instruc-
tions to permit the theater TO violate
the ordinance regarding overcrOWding.
Barry died last year. Curran received
no instructions from any one else but
understood that the theater could sell
standing room. The coroner asked
Curran if he is still travelling on a
dead mans orders to which the latter
replied, Yes, l have had no other in
structions." He said that Barrys sue
cessor told him to prevent standing in
the aisles, but he had no orders to pre-
vent the sale of standing room or over
crOWding. He further admitted that
he did not know what the laws regard
ing building inspection called for as he
had never read the instructions. He
admitted that he did not know who
was IN charge Of theater inspections as
he never had made any report of the
aters inspected by him. To his knoWl-
edge no one had ever been assigned
to inspect theaters and he went Wnen
ever he pleased. He believed that a
theater manager had a right to refuse
the inspector admission to the house
and did not believe in the inspectors
right of forcible entry for inspection.
When asked how he gained entrance
he said that Chief Barry gave him
authority.

eral Foster read the official call and
explained the aims and purposes of
those interested in the movement. He
pointed out that the treaty signed in
1897 by Secretary Olney and Sir Ju-
liam PauncefOte failed of ratification by
the senate by a close vote. but that
certain questions, particularly the
Clayton -BulWer treaty and the Alas
kan boundary dispute now having
been disposed of and the creation of
a permanent tribunal at The Hague
having made renewed effort timely and
appropriate, the cause Of interna tional
arbitration had been greatly strength
ened, and therefore an effort should
now be made to secure the adoption of
IA treaty between the United States
and Great Britain by which these two
nations would agree to refer to the
tribunal at The Hague certain issues
under specified conditions.
The conference was opened at 10 o.
clock this morning in the assembly

National De moCratiC
Convention.
CHICAGO WANTED TOO MUCH
The Date Set Is July Sixth, Fifteen
Days After Republican
Convention.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 12.-
When the democratic national COM
mittee went into session at the Shore
ham hotel today to decide upon the
date and place for the national conven-
ton there was no one who could pre-
diet with any degree of certainty as to
what would be the result of the COM
mlttee's deliberations. When the re-
publican national committee met here
few weeks ago its work had been
cut out IN advance and its dutier we're
largely perfunctory. That such is not
the case at tOdays meeting is evil
denced by the wide diversity of opin-
ion expressed by usually well in
formed leaders as to what city will
capture the convention and what date
will be selected for the gathering. A
majority apears to entertain the Opin-
ion that Chicago will get the con-
VentiOn, but q St. Louis delegation is
on hand with a strong plea, and there
is a movement of some consequences
in the interest of New York. AS to the
date, it IS probable the convention will
be held the first week in July Senator
German is understood to favor an early
convention, but the uncertainty as to
when congress will be ready to ad-
journ is likely to lead the committee
20 fix a late date.
The candidate talk is still confined
mainly to German or Parker, all other
DOomlets, including those of Marshall
Field, Richard Olney, Judge Gray and
William r. Hearst, are still in their
swadling clothes. One of the strongest
advocates of an early convention is
Ex-Governor Steunenberg, who by
prey represents Idaho. He favors
holding it before the republican con-
vention.
1t is expected that a vote on the
city and date will be reach
ming 1t will be necessary for the
committee to meet again tomorrow.
The committee was called to order
at noon by Chairman Jones. The
committee considered the contest from
the District of Columbia which was
finally referred back to the district
committee 1t is almost generally con-
ceded that Chicago will get the con-
ventiOn. The session was adjourned
until o'clock, when various cities will
present their claims.
