The IrOquois Horror Made Worse by
Padlocked Barriers i'm the
Stairways.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE most impor-
tant evidence brought out in connection
with the Iroquois fire horror Saturday

DuSenberry, superintendent of the au-
ditorium of the theater, that the passage
way along one of the two grand STAIR
cases leading to the Randolph street en-
trance was barred, so as to be impass-
able, by two iron gates, four to five feet
in height, security padlocked, at the time
of the fire. The dead bodies of those WI
had struggled futilely against these OBJ
structions were found piled high by
those doing rescue work.
One witness testified that there was an
explosion in the Iroquois on the opening
night, and members of the Bluebeard
company admit the scenery caught fire
when the attraction was playing in
Cleveland. One woman's testimony in
dicates that many persisted from inhal-
ing deadly fumes
The special council committee on the

ter, the mayor to revoke theater licenses

BRYAN on HIS own SHORE
Nebraskan Ends His Tour of Eu-

Returns with Ideas on American
Politics Unchanged--May Seek
Office Again.

New York, Jan. 11-William Jen-
nings Bryan, of Nebraska, arrived in
New York Saturday on the liner Gel
tic, after two months trip through
the various countries of Europe. He
was welcomed home by delegation
of democrats, who met the Celtic on a
tugboat at quarantine, and a reception
was given him at the Hotel Victoria
Saturday night. Since leaving New
York Mr.. Bryan has shaken hands
with several of the European rulers
and has been entertained or received
by many of the notables of the old
world. Among these were Pope Plus,
the car of Russia, President Loubet
of France, President Ducher of Swift
erland, the crown prince of Denmark,
Ambassador Choate, Tolstoi and Rich
ard Croker He had two interviews
with Mr. Croker. Asked if he did not
fear that his close association with the
'plutocratic" rulers of Europe might
make him unpopular with the popu-
lists of Nebraska, he replied that he
hoped not. Mr.. Bryan returns to this
country more in love with it than ever
and with a firm belief in the Bryan
type of democratic politics.
AS to the platform Of the democratic
party in the 1904 campaign he said:
There is nothing in the 1900 platform

to be abandoned, and I can't say that
there is anything to be added" Re-
garding his own ambitions he said: 81
date this time / say SO now. / have
no plans for Office at any time; but
will not give bond that I will not be
a candidate at any time"
| Mr.. Bryan was averse to being in
! terviewed, as he had arranged to give
| his impressions of Europe in his own
/ writing, and said he wanted people to
| get his impressions fresh and at first
hand.
! He was asked if all he had seen and
| heard abroad had changed his views as
to political policies in this country
mot whit" he said. I'm fact, my
views in the matter of tariff reform
have been strengthened after talking
with Chamberlain, Balfour and other
Englishmen conversant with that
topic"
He visited IL countries and ten capt.
tails. among them London, Paris,
Rome, st. Petersburg, Vienna, Copen-
hagen, Berlin, Brussels and The
Hague
At the reception Mr.. Bryan was re-
peatedly cheered by some of those pres
entas "the candidate of the party in the
coming campaign, and bets were offer
ed that he would be the party's nomi-
nee. In a long speech, Mr.. Bryan said
he intended to keep away from any
personal Identification with the cam
paign of 1904, and dwelt upon the idea
that high moral principle of equali-
ty and justice must hereafter form the
basis of all party contests in this coun-
try He emphasized the fact that all
European countries he had visited had
the kindliest feeling toward the United
States. He opposes the building Of
big navy.

According to a writer in the Popular
Science Monthly the drift of population
from farms and villages to the cities has
been checked. This tendency was few
years ago looked on with alarm, but it
appears that it exists 10 more. I'm
provement in home and social life in
the country, better roads, interurban
electric lines and the overcrowding in
the cities have probably all contributed
to make the rural districts more desir-
able places of residence for the rising
generation. Bicycle and telephone have
also done their part. And people are be-
coming more intelligent.
