Chicago, Jan. Archibald Bernard

atre was taken into custody by the
police today and will be held pending
inquiry as to the disaster.
Charged With Manslaughter.
After being closely questioned for
two hours by the police Bernard was
formally charged with "manslaughter."''
Others Under Arrest.
Seven employees of the Iroquois the.
atre were arrested last night on the
order of Chief of Police O'Neill. The

mings, stage carpenter, Frank Jand-
row, r. M. Cummings, R. Engle, Thos.
Mcqueen and S. j. Mazoni, stage
hands.
Had Been Asked to Leave.
After being taken into custody, four
of them told O'Neill they had been re-
quested by people connected with the
theatre to leave the city. When asked
who advised them to do this they at
first refused to say, but later admitted
the advice was given by Assistant
Stage Manager Plunkett. They said
they were about to follow P1unkett's S
advice and all had packed their trunks,
and would have been out of the city
had not the police arrested them.
Summons Manager Davis.
Chief of Police O'Neill today sent
detectives to summond Manager Will
j. Davis of the Iroquois theatre to the
police headquarters.
Not Arresting Davis.
Il want to question him." the chief
said. Il am not arresting him. If I
thought that Managers Davis and Pow
ers would leave Chicago would lock
them up Immediately. But they will
remain. Both are citizens of Chica-
go, men of good reputation and men
with business interests. am only
summoning Davis now to ask him
about the fire in a general way and to
get his guarantee that the members of
"In the Pale Moonlight double octet
will not leave Chicago before the in

Actors are Watched.
Although the members of the .Mr.
Bluebeard" company who had been
questioned by the police were allow
ed to return to their hotels, detectives
were sent also to see that none of the
members left.
Hearing Saturday Morning.
Today the hearing of the Iroquois
theatre and the members of the "Mr.
Bluebeard,, company who were ar
rested last night was set for Saturday
morning, the charge being man
slaughter. Bonds were placed at
$4,000 in each case.
Asbestos Curtain Useless.
The asbestos curtain of the Iroquois
theatre was annihilated in the fire
afternoon.
This barrier which was depended up
on to stand between 1900 persons in
the audience and death was torn to
shreds, and fragments of it picked up
yesterday crumbled to the touch.
These startling discoveries were
made yesterday in the preliminary in
vestigation of the disaster which wip-
ed out 57S lives and brought sorrow
and mourning to thousands
So complete was the destruction of
this "fireproof' barrier that many who
entered the theatre Immediately after
the flames were. extingulshed failed to
notice even the fragments that were
scattered about the seats on the lower
floor.
Many yesterday bore witness to this

then people rushed in to buy. fearing
that the great rise would start before

bought the stock certainly somebody
must have sold it to them.

where else in the world. The arch
deacon's statement has been challeng-
ed on the ground that great negli-
gence characterizes the registration
of births in Ontario, but he has taken
the figures of the school population in
Ontario to support the conclusions he
drew from vital statistics In 1887
the school population in Ontario, be-
tween the ages of five and twenty-one
years, was 611,212; five years later in
1892 it was 595,23S; in 1897, it was
590,O55, and in 1902. it was only 5S4,512,
or 36,7OO less than it was fifteen years
ago.
part of the continent and the people
are prosperous and thrifty. AS in the
New England states, a large portion
of the wealth of the community is CEN
tered in the hands of a comparatively
few persons and opportunities for get
ting on in the world are not what they
are in a new country. Moreover, as in
all of the older parts of this continent
the standard of living is now much
higher than it was. The natural re-
suit is that large families are looked
upon as a burden.
1t does little good to agitate this
subject whether in Ontario, New Eng
land, France or old England. The
phenomenon of the decreasing birth
rate is one that cannot be altered so
long as conditions remain as they are
in modern society, and life for 90 per
cent of the people is a continuous
struggle for existence. In this age
everybody has to look out for himself
and people are more concerned with
their own luxury and comfort than
they are with the numbers of poster
ity, or what will happen to the race or
nation some generations hence on ac-
count of the reduced birth rate.
If every man was assured Of "a ten
thousand dollar annual income from
birth and a fifty thousand dollar sal
lry, he could emulate President RoOse-
Welt in decrying race suicide

BUSINESS VS.. POLITICS.

How little business men control pO-
| litical action in this country has late
ly been demonstrated in Massachu-
setts. The Massachusetts republican
convention, it will be remembered
treated the subject of reciprocity with
Canada in light and almost contempt
utous manner. Reading that PLATFORM
no one would suspect that there was
Massachusetts.
But not the least discouraged by the
ftippant manner of the republican con-
vention, the Boston chamber of COM
merce, without regard to the political
affiliations of its members, goes on
agitating for reciprocity with Canada.
few days ago there was placed in
the hands of the president of that body
a petition signed by over 35 900 bank
professional men, requesting that re-
ciprocal relations with foreign nations,
especially Canada and Newfoundland,
be established at once
These $4,000 men may be safely
taken to represent the feeling of the
business men of New England, re-
garding reciprocity with Canada, and
yet the republican party practically
ignored the whole subject in it's state
,llo
did their duty in politics. would be
able to make the Massachusetts plat
form say what the people of the state
think, but as they failed to exert their
influence through political channels
the convention said what Lodge and
other national leaders thought it would
be polite for it to say regardless of the
convictions of the people.
