Fire Scare Throws Large ccngregs-

New Richmond, Wis. Jan. r.
Smoke arising from a defective fur
mace through a register in the floor
in the Roman Catholic Church of the
Immaculate Conception caused a fire
scare and threw the large congrega-
ton into a panic.
The room was gradually filled with
smoke. One or two stepped out TO
investigate. Then more started for
the only exit in the main audience
room, which was at the rear of the
center aisle. Some one cried fire."
and in an instant there was a panic
and the crush about the door was ter
rife. Women and children were
three deep on The floor and were be-
ing trampled on. Several women
tainted. but no one was seriously
hurt. Two churches have already
been destroyed by fire on the same
site.

Washington, Jan. II. - General
Reyes. the Colombian envoy, who has
been in Washington in connection with
the Panama matter for about month,
left the city at midnight for New York,
preparatory to his departure for Col
ombia in a few days. The departure
of General Reyes does not constitute
the breaking of diplomatic relations
with the United States, but merely a
suspension of the negotiations which
have been going on with the state de-
partment, having in view the rein
tegration of Panama as part Of Col
ombia. Whether they will be resumed
hereafter is not known.
DR.. Herran, the Colombian charge,
remains in Washington to attend to lie
cation business other than Panama
matters. 1t is not likely that he will
cave the city for two months at least,
f then. His future movements are
quite undetermined. Advices which
have reached here from Colombia
show that there is still considerable
excitement there over the attitude Of

Witness Whose Testimony May Cause

Burned Before His Eyes Because

Chicago. Jan. Zone of the most
important witnesses before the coro-

whose evidence the states attorney
will largely rely if an attempt is
made to secure indictments in connec-

fed that he, with his mother and

left the balcony, followed by his wife
and mother, and went to a door,
which proved to be an exit, but lock
ed He threw himself against the
door, but could not force it open and
then reached up and broke the tran
som with his fist. Being unable TO
open the door, he pulled himself up
and through the trAasom, dropping
upon the outside of the door, where
he found a man with a lot of tools.
presumably a carpenter. The two
tried in every way to break down the
door from the outside, but could not.
While he was half way through the
transom the flames filled all that part
of the theater, his mother and wife
were burned in front of his eyes and
he was so badly scorched that for
several days his life was despaired
Of He said that not only his own
family. but hundreds of other people
could have gotten through this door
and been saved had it not been lock-
ed. When he looked through the
transom a second time, he declared,
the entire passageway was damned
with people.
Another Victim Succumbs.
BY the death yesterday afternoon of
Herman Bein, the number of dead in
the Iroquois theater fire was brought
up TO 571.
