READY FOR FACTS.
No One to Be Spared in the Iro-
quois Investigation.

Chicago. Jan. live are ready to
make a searching investigation to find
out just who was responsible for the
Iroquois fire. We have cleared away
the brushwood and are prepared to get
down to inner facts.
I'VE will spare no one for we are de-
termined to fix the guilt
With this statement Coroner Traeger
began the second week of the Iroquois
fire case today. For a few days the
coroner will be forced to put the gen
era1 public on the stand, but when he
gets through with it he intends to
start one of the closest inquiries into
the workings of the building, police,
fire and electrical departments of the
city that they have ever known.
After an investigation of ten days
Attorney Fulkerson of the fire depart
ment has practically established all OF
the points necessary to make his re-
port on the causes of the fire. These,
he says, tend to show there was wilful
neglect of the safety of the patrons OF
the house.

In spite of the distractions of the ex-

of other classes and all the other un-
toward circumstances in which they
find themselves the female birds do not
lose sight of the fact that eggs are now
worth 35 cents a dozen and the poultry
show is no holiday for them. They
keep right on in their Helpful Hen role
and several hundred eggs are gathered
daily from the coops in the auditorium.

This is the fifteenth annual show OF
the state poultry association and it is
expected that the attendance will show
as great increase over that of former
years as the entries have. The show
will continue until Saturday night.

Washington. Jan. 11.-Only that por-

lates to the opening of the new ports
at Mukden and An Tung and provides
in general terms for privileges of
American shipping will become effective
upon the exchange of ratifications of
the treaty, which VIII take place with
in six weeks There is a possibility
that the Chinese government will au-
thorize its minister here Sir Chen
Tung Lain Chang, by cable to effect an
earlier exchange, but Mr.. Conger has
not made this request.
The other features of the treaty,
abolishing the lilxin taxes and increas-
ing the average customs dues on goods
coming from the United States into
China, will not become effective until
similar treaties containing similar pro-
visions have been concluded between
China and the other powers signatory
to the treaty of Pekin. Besides the
United States. England and Japan
have so far negotiated Chinese treaties,
leaving Germany, France, Italy, Aus
tria and Belgium to effect like arrange
ments before the new duties will go
into effect.

news, opportunely for the hungry, that
little fund of ten millions has al
ready been Clipped in on which any
body may draw sight drafts for ex-
penses in defeating the nomination of
President Roosevelt and effecting the

Roosevelt literature in a volume to
choke up the United States mails is be-
ing sent to Republicans all over the
country.
This literature is taken from editor
ials in a Cincinnati newspaper pretend
ing to be Republican, but owned and
directed by Charles R. Mclean, a Dem
ocrat.
In a few days, it is announced. a
flood of similar literature will be pour
ed out from New York city.
This literature will be from a New
York professional organ pretending to
be Republican, but financed by the
trust power and published and man
aged by Democrats.

LARGEST EVER HELD.

Something like 5000 cacklers and
growers not to mention cooers, squeal-

exhibit at the Auditorium this week.
Among other poultry being shown are
white rats, ferrets, coyotes, red foxes,
badgers, guinea pigs, coons, 'possums,
Belgian hares and Kansas jack rabbits.
These somewhat unexpected features of
the exhibit occupy a corner of the
Auditorium by themselves and seem to
realize that they are sadly out of their
element. While the chickens, pigeons
and pea fowl seem quite at their ease
in their unusual surroundings, the cocks

but fowls have been arriving all day
and by tomorrow it is expected that
fully 200 exhibitors and 5000 birds will

coops and cages and the showing is said
by experts to be the best the associa-

numbers in some of the other classes.
