(By the Associated Press. }

New York. Dec. 31.-John A. Benson,
of San Francisco. is in Ludlow street jail

north end of the building.
These doors are much too small; they
should have been three times as large,
said Juror Finn.
The iron doors were closed and locked
and it was then seen that the inner doors
were so close to the steel shutters that
they could not be opened with the shut
tiers fastened. This exit is not sufficiently
high for an ordinary sized man to walk
through without STOPPING, and when the
jurors learned this fact by personal eX-
perience there was considerable comment
among them. The jury then assembled to
the top gallery, where the greatest loss
of life occurred
Coroner Traeger pointed to the balcony
rail, which was bent in several places and
jumped through these openings to the
lower floor An inspection was then made
of the exits leading to the fire escapes and

Finn.
"The exits are too small, anyway" said
Foreman Meyer, as he measured the doors
leading TO the fire escapes.
In both instances there were hundreds
of grewsome relics of the catastrophe scat
tered between the seats where they had
been dropped by the terrified victims.
There were a score of rubber shoes, muffs,
handkerchief, gloves, ehildren's wooden
hoods and mittens. Under one seat was
found a tiny doll, which had evidently
been taken to the theatre by a little girl
The jurors were deeply affected by the
sight as they sorted over the relics of the
disaster.
At the conclusion of the inspection of
the theatre it was decided to continue the
inquest until next Thursday morning at
9 o'clock.

A Brief Visit of Colombians. Fear of
a Clash Abating.

Colon, Dec. 31.-Information reached
Governor Me1endez last night from Cart,
village near the Island of Pines, in Pan
anna territory, that Colombian troops had
landed there December 21st and conferred
with the Indian Chief Inanaquina, who al
forwards was taken aboard a vessel, and it
is thought conveyed to Cartagena.
Immediately it became known here that
Colombians had landed within the Dor

United States gunboat which was coaling
at the railroad dock, steamed out towards
Cart. She was followed shortly after
wards by the cruiser Olympia.

that the danger of hostile clash with
Colombia is abating and these, taken in
connection with Minister Beauprc's cour-

WAS It SU|C|DE2
Death of Young Harry
Grandy, a Lawyer of
Elizabeth City.
Special to News and observer.)


Elizabeth City, n. c., Dec. 31.---Mr.
Harry Grandy, well known young law
yer of this city, died at o'clock yester-
day morning at his home on the corner of
Road and Matthews streets from the eft
tects of an overdose of laudanum. 1t is
unknown whether the laudanum was taken
with suicidal intent or not as it is re.
ported that he had been suffering With
neuralgia during the day, and it might
have been taken to relieve his suffering.
Mr.. Grandy was son of the late Cyrus
named Mrs. Eubanks, who lives near the
race track, sent negro boy over to town
to tell the police that he was on her steps
sick. Policeman Scarborough, accompan-
led by several young men, at once Went
there and found Mr.. Grandy in an uncon-
scious condition. They carried him to the
police station and DR.. Fearing was IN
mediately summoned. An examination at
once revealed the fact that the young man
was suffering from opium poisoning and
a full bottle of laudanum in his pocket
suggested that it was laudanum he had
taken DR.. Fearing had him removed as
once to his home and all that was possible
was done to counteract the effects of the
poisoning, but yesterday morning he died
without having regained consciousness.
His whereabouts from the last time he
was seen on the streets until he was found
on the steps of Mrs. Eubanks are un
known, as is also where he secured the
laudanum
Mr.. Grady was a son of the late Cyrus
Grandy an da brother of Charles Grandy,
proprietor of the cigar store and pool and
billiard parlors on Main street. He was
a lawyer of considerable prominence, but
of recent months had become somewhat
addicted to drink. He was evil known IN
the city and had many friends among the
young men, and aside from his unfortu
nate habits, was a general favorite with
all who knew him.

THE INVESTIGATION BEGUN.
The COroner's Jury Visits the Scene of
the Disaster.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Dec. 31.-With the ,nnounca-
ment that one jury of representative citi-
zens would listen to all the evidence re-
garding the Iroquois theatre fire and re-
turn single verdict for all Tie victims,
Coroner Traeger today promptly empan-
elled jury.
II any persons are responsible for
this fire." said Coroner Traeger, they
will be prosecuted to the fullest extent
OF the law. The investigation of the
fire Will be thorough. We will leave no
stone unturned in our efforts to fix the
responsibility.
The coroner's jury is as follows:
L. Fl. Meyer, secretary of the Kennedy
Furniture Company.
DR.. Peter Byrnes, salesman for Lyon
and Healy.
Walter Ciingman, salesman for the
Tobey Furniture Company.
Joseph A. Cummings, manager of Brown
ing. King and Company.
George w. Atkins, credit man for Mar
shall Field and Company.
John w. Finn, salesman for A. H. Revel-
land Company
Continued sight of dead bodies lying
hUddled on the floors and tables of the va
some of the jurors. Several of the mem
bers of the jury objected to being forced
to view the bodies, and one juror, Joseph
Cummings, practically collapsed at Rol-
ston's Morgue, where the jury was forced
to step over the dead bodies in their
tour of inspection.
Coroner Traeger tonight conducted an
informal inquiry into the cause of the
HrcA ~
Sellers, the fireman employed at the
theatre. Sellers did not know just how
the fire began, but said he saw it shortly
after it broke out. He threw extinguish-
ers on the blaze, but without effect He
tried to pull down the drop curtain or
to tear loose that portion of il which
was blazing, but without succt S. The
fire then spread with such great rapiditY
that he was unable to do more Other
witnesses were examined and after they
had been heard Assistant States Attorney
A. A. Heer, who was present, said:
ct seems agreed that the ASBESTOS cur
tain was dropped, but that it went only
to within ten or fifteen feet of the Stage
floor. People on the stage opened the
door leading from the stage into the
street on the the west side of the theatre
and this created a strong draft. The
draft blew the curtain out toward the
audience. This held the curtain so tightly
that all attempts to lower il further
were fruitless."
This evening the coroners jury which
had spent the day in visiting the various
morgues, was taken by Coroner Traeger
to the theatre. The jury first went to the
stage and Deputy Coroner Buckley point
cd ont fhe SnOt where the fire was dis
covered The seats in the first ten rows
of the first floor were burned but back
of that the orchestra chairs were in good
condition.
The members of the jury while engaged
in inspecting the stage frequently remark
ed that the protection against fire seemed
to them to have been inadequate.
The jury then climbed the stairway
leading to the first balcony. Here the
plush covering of the seats was found to
