CHICAGO, Jan. Mayor Carter
Harrison today took steps to provide
as far as possible, against a repetition
of Wednesdays horror at the Iroquois
theater AS a result of an investiga-
tion made at his orders and lasting
only a few hours. nineteen theaters
and museums were ordered closed,
some of them being among the leading
and most popular playhouses In Chi
cago. The action of the mayor was
based on one single violation of the
ordinances which are intended to pro-
tect the patrons of theaters from just
such an occurrence as that which cost
so many lives on Wednesday. This was
that every one of these places had fail
ed to supply an asbestos curtain.
The theaters ordered closed are:
Howard's, Sam It. Jacks, Marlowe,
New American, Olympic, Academy Of
Music, Alhambra, Avenue, Bijou, Chi
cago opera house, Columbus, Thirty
first street, Criterion. Fiegenbaum's
Milwaukee avenue, Garrick Qn Mil
waukee avenue) and Glickman's. In
addition to these the London Globe
museum and the Clark Street museum
were also compelled to close their
doors.

PATIENTS IN PERIL
Are Removed From Burning
Hospital at Sioux Falls.
Snecial to The Globe

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. Fire
this evening broke out in the basement
of the Sioux Falls hospital, a frame
building, and for time 1t was feared
some of the patients would lose their
lives. All the hacks in the city were
requisitioned, and soon all the patients
were removed to places of safety.
Many were in scanty attire, and a
fierce northeast gale and snow storm
made their removal, especially those
whose condition was serious, diff
cult and dangerous undertaking.
The fire started from the furnace
and speedily filed the building with
smoke, causing momentary panic
among the attendants and patients.
The nurses soon regained their cool
ness, and, with the aid Of the firemen,
hackmen and other citizens, removed
the patients to nearby houses. They
are none the worse for their expert
ence. The flames were extinguished
before the building had been seriously
damaged.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. NEARLY 500
Democrats of Nebraska tonight cele-
brated the ninety-ninth anniversary of
Andrew Jackson's victory over the
British at New Orleans and Incl
dentally the thirteenth annual ban
quet of the Jacksonian club of Ne
braska.
The event was the best attended and
most enthusiastic of any in the history
of the club. The speakers were all
men of prominence and included Sen
ator Francis G. Newlands, of Nevada;
Congressman De Almond, of Missouri,
and Congressman Hitchcock, of Ne
braska
The occasion was of special signif-
canoe to Nebraska Democracy because
of reunion of the factions that have
formerly been known as gold and
silver" Democrats. The later have for
several years been in a large majority,
but the opposition included many
prominent Democrats of the state,
among them DR.. George l.. Miller, T. j..
Mahoney and Euclid Martin, the latter
postmaster of Omaha under the last
Cleveland administration.
Enthusiasm Not Lacking.
The affair was in the nature of a
love feast and those present entered
into the spirit of the occasion with
old time enthusiasm. Frank l.. Weav-
er, president of the club, acted as
POSTMASTER and on either side of him
were ranged the honored guests of the
evening. From Joseph w. Folk, Of
ST. Louis, was read a letter of regret
at his failure to respond to the toast
assigned him. kilograms of similar
import were also announced from other
prominent Democrats of the country
who had received invitations to be
present
A. G. Ellick, of Omaha, responded to
the toast "The Jacksonians." Mr.. FL

club, eulogized Andrew Jackson and

DEATH SUMMONS
CAPT. FRED PABST
His Last Words Are Those of
Cheer and Encouragement
to His Family.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. Capt.
Frederick Pabst, president of the Pabst
Brewing company, died at his resi-
dence 1000 Grand avenue, today.
While the members of his family and
friends knew that he was suffering
from an incurable disease and that he
could not live more than few months,
his death came quite suddenly and un-
expectedly. He was sixty-seven years
Of age last March.
During the last ten days Capt. Pabst
had not left his home, owing to the
severe weather, but his condition
seemed to be improved. At o'clock
this morning he suffered a relapse and
began to fail rapidly. He retained
consciousness and was able to con-
verse with his wife and children. His
physicians, on arriving, found that
nothing could be done. Capt. Pabst
seemed to realize that the end had
come, and talked with his family
about his affairs until ten minutes be-
fore his death, when he became un-
conscious and passed quietly away. AT
his bedside were Mrs. Pabst, his wild
ow; Frederick Pabst Jr.; Mrs. w. o.

Congressman Gilbert M. Hitchcock,
Of Nebraska, was then introduced and
took for his theme "The Laggard Baw.
His address in part is as follows:
ITO my mind the time has come
when Americans should avoid social
ism on the one hand and imperial plu-
tocracy on the other, and development
of legal remedies along the line. The
regulation of the trust must give way
to the regulation Of the man behind
the trust. Put stop to the multi
millionaire and you put a. stop to the
commercial giants who plunder the bus
mess world. I realize that in what l
say approach the borderland of So
cialism, but do not reach it. F be-
lieve the better sense and judgment Of
the American people today is that some
device should be devised for the pre-

easily answered, for that depends upon
what the party will say and do when
next it convenes in national conven-
tion. If it shall wisely address itself to
the issues of the day, asserting moth

The Garrick theater, which was or
dered closed, Is small playhouse on
the northwest side of the city and
should not be confounded with the
larger theater of the same name on
Randolph street, one block west of the
Iroquois.
The inspection ordered by the mayor
today was carried out by Building
Commissioner Williams and Chief of
Police O'Neill. The investigation in
cluded no other feature than asbestos
curtains. The mayor instructed Com
missioner Williams to report to him
promptly at the conclusion of the in
vestigation, declaring that it was his
intention that no theater should be al
lowed to open its doors In Chicago
hereafter unless it was provided with
an asbestos curtain of standard quail
ity that would work at all times and
under all conditions.

is all very well to say that the great loss

to the fact that the people lost their
