UNSKILLED LABOR

Union Men Say 1t Was Responsible
for IroGuOis Disaster.
New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago Jan. 5.-Charges have
been made by leaders of organized la
Dor that the management of the Iro-
quois theater refused to employ high
salaried men to handle the stage
lights. They say they have proof that
William McMullen, known as Holt,
who worked the light that caused the
fire, was learning the trade of the
atrical employee.
The labor organizations are bitter
at Mayor Harrison for closing the
various theaters, and have started to
gather evidence to show that the loss
of life at the Iroquois was not due to
the construction Of the BUILDING. They
want to shift the blame to the man
agement, so that the other houses will
be allowed to reopen without further
delay.
In attempting to gather facts to in
duce Mayor Harrison to reconsider
his order, the labor leaders have OBJ
tanned some evidence toward proving
the following:
What They Can Prove.
That the management of the Iro-
quois employed apprentices.
That the asbestos curtain was not

IA WITNESS FROM
WASHINGTON
Trial of the Second Indictment
81 Against Senator Dietrich Con-
tinued Until Thursday.
Government Asked for the Delay
/, Demurrer to a Former Indict-
ment Sustained.

Omaha. Jan. 5.-To-days session of
the United States circuit court, before
which Is being tried the case of United
States Senator Charles H. Dietrich,
indicted for alleged violation of the
law in connection with a building
! lease to the government lasted but an
! hour. Court adjourned in order to
permit the government to present a
witness coming from Washington.
E The first business transacted was the
i arraignment by the court of POStmas-
ter Jacob Fisher Of Hastings, Neb.,
who is indicted on charges similar to
| those against Senator Dietrich and in
! the same connection--that of alleged
! bribery in securing his appointment
! as postmaster at Hastings. Fisher
pleaded not guilty and waived pre-
liminary examination, his trial being
set to follow that of Senator Dietrich.
5 Second Case Called.
6 Judge vandeventer then called the
case of Senator Dietrich, in which he
Is charged with prof1ting by the lease
of a building to the United States gov
srnment to be used as a postoffice at
Hastings. Neb., while Dietrich was a
member Of congress.
District Attorney Summers read a
telegram from Attorney General Knox.
stating that an important witness had
left Washington and would be in
Omaha Thursday. Mr.. Summers said
that counsel for Senator Dietrich
would not agree to proceed on GER
tain conditions without the presence Of
the witness, and he therefore re-
quested continuance.
Il General Gown, counsel for the de-
Tense, stated that Senator Dietrich was
ready for trial, and, being a United
States senator, he felt himself entitled
TO as little delay as possible.
Short Continuance Taken.
The court, however, sustained the
district attorney and continued the
case until Thursday. In announcing
the continuance, Judge Vanderventer
said it was the opinion Of the court
that the government should have suff1-
Client time to prepare it's case carefully
and that Senator Dietrich should have
an opportunity to vindicate himself in
the face of any and all evidence that
the government wished to present. He
stated, however, that no other con-
tinuance would be granted unless a
most plausible reason were urged as
cause therefor.
Yesterdays Demurrer Sustained.
3 One of the indictments against the
senator was knocked out yesterday,
the Judge sustaining the demurrer to
the one charging conspiracy to violate
the statute against bribery on the
ground that it would have the effect of
placing the senator on trial twice on
the same charge.

TREATY ASSURED
LARGE MAJORITY
PRESIDENTS PANAMA MESSAGE
DISARMs OPPOSITION.
Unusual Interest Manifested in the
Senate-Members Sat Out the
Reading with Observation-Disclosures
Act of Administration Was Justi-
fied--Canal Must Now Be Con-
structed. S3S

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Jan. 5.-Walter Wellman,
in Washington special to the Rec
ord-Herald, says:
With an act Enthusiastically bold
and frank, President Roosevelt has
apparently swept away at a single
stroke all party opposition to the
success of that great enterprise.
Mr.. Roosevelt sent to congress a
special message on the recent events
in the isthmus and the administra-
tons relations thereto, which was
read in the senate and listened to
with unusual interest by a large num-
Der of senators Of both parties.
Ordinarily presidential messages
are but indifferently followed by the
busy men of the senate, but this was
an exception to the rule. Nearly all
of the statesmen remained in their
seats during the hour and a half re-
quired for the reading, and most Of
them followed the clerk by holding
in their hands the printed copies
use.
1t was obvious enough that the
message made a profound impression
upon the senate. The republicans
could not conceal their satisfaction.
Occasionally they nodded one to an
other In approval, and the whispered
comments were all accompanied by
smiles.
Republicans Are Jubilant.
In a body like the senate, the essen
tial manner in which given state
paper is received becomes quickly
known thru conversation on the floor,
talk in the clOakrOom and in the lob
bies. In an hour it was known to
every one who cared to make inquiry
! that the presidents statement Of the
case had vastly strengthened the
claim of the republicans that every
thing the administration has done was
| justifiable and that nothing now re-
mains but to ratify the treaty and
close the episode by going ahead with
| the construction of the Panama canal.
The republicans were jubilant and
many democratic senators quietly ex-
pressed their satisfaction.
If one may judge by the prevalent
comment on both sides of the cham
Der, the threatened effort of the mi
nority to defeat the treaty for polit-
| ical purposes will not materialize. AS
a matter of fact, there never, was
much substance to that threat. Lead
| ing senators now predict that moth
] ing more will be heard from it and
| that the treaty will be ratified by an
overwhelming majority as soon as a
vote scan be reached.

Itching Piles and Other Rectal
Troubles Easily Cured by a
New and Safe Method.
"A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure

ia About one person in every four suf-
9fers from some form of rectal dis
ease. The most common and annoy
Ing is itching piles, indicated by
warmth, slight moisture and intense,
uncomfortable itching in the parts af-
fected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
Ing like permanent cure can be
expected from such superficial treat
ment.
The only permanent cure for itch
ing piles yet discovered is the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, not only for itching
piles, but for every other form of
piles, blind, bleeding or protruding.
The first application gives instant re-
lief and the continued use for short
sstime causes permanent removal of
the tumors or the small parasites
(which cause the intense itching and
discomfort of itching piles.

Cure for a disagreeable case of Itch
ing piles. After using five boxes I
consider myself entirely cured of the
disagreeable trouble, thanks to this
excellent remedy, and I shall never
fail to recommend it to any of

washed from the body of the drop

That the inspection Of theaters in
Chicago has been a farce and that
incompetent men have been doing the

That superannuated firemen have
been placed by the department in the

That the fire apparatus is prac-

That in many of the theaters bags

These facts, and as many more as
can be obtained, will be submitted

night at the Willis Wood theater, the
performance was continued in the
