Of Theaters.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Mayor Harri-
son. Fire Marshal Musham, the city
aldermen and Building Inspector
Laughlin have been summoned by
Coroner Trager to appear before the
jury this afternoon to testify regarding
the Iroquois holocaust. This inquiry
follows the sensational charges made
by Building Commissioner Williams
Yesterday to the effect that the city
has only one-Quarter of the number OF
inspectors required by ordinance and
that only the most superficial lnspec-
tions could be made. Mayor Harrison
will also be examined relative to the
report that he received on theaters in
November showing that all were vio-
lating city ordinances.
The coroner will ask why the Ordi-
nances We're not enforced as soon as
the discovery was made instead OF
turning the report over to the council,
where eventually it landed in pigeon
hole. Further testimony OF stage en-
ployes today corroborated the fact

Mayor Harrison on the stand this
afternoon admitted that he failed to
take any action on Commissioner Will

custom that all antiquated and imprac-
tical laws should not be enforced.
After the fire he looked into the mat

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The Ma
chen trial today was devoted to ex-
aminations of clerks and others con-
nected with the postal department
showing laXity in methods. The first
witness was John Howley, chief clerk
to First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne. He admitted that letters sign
ed by Machen might have been signed
by any of several clerks in Machen's
department. He said up to April lst
the common usage was for division
chiefs to delegate subordinates to sign
routine mail. In April it was prohib-
tied. The testimony created a sensa-
ton, as it showed how completely the
assistant postmaster generals are al
the mercy of subordinates, even in the
matter of expenditures.
