OWNERS DEMAND BUILDING
Want Possession Of lroquois SO as to

ing Repairs-Coroner to Hold on
Until After investigation.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Mayo. Harrison
was a witness yesterday in the lro-
quois theater fire inquest. His evi-
dence related chiefly To the reports
submitted TO him by Commissioner
Williams, which declared that none OF
the theaters in Chicago fully complied
with the terms Of the building ordi-
nance, but the commissioner made no
recommendation that ,ney be closed
or that their licenses be revoked.
He corrOborated Mr.. Williams
statement that the Office of the com
mission was poorly supplied with
help and said there was no way in
which assistance could be procured
except through a larger appropriation
by the city, and this, in the present
state of Chicago's finances, was out
OF the question.
William j. McAllister, secretary OF
the building department of Chicago,
said there was no record kept of the
construction of any building save the
reports of inspectors. In the case OF
the Iroquois theater no report what
ever was brought to him in reference
to that building before the fire.
The managers of the Iroquois the
ater yesterday through their attOr-
neys, made a demand upon Coroner
Traeger for possession of the theater
building. They declared there were
insurance losses to be adjusted and
repairs to be made and they desired
to get about this work as soon as pos
sible
Assistant States Attorney Barnes,
in behalf OF the coroner, said the ad-
justers could visit the theater at any
time, but that neither they nor any
other person would be permitted to
alter the existing conditions in the
building until after the conclusion of
the cO,OE0- inquest.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Late yester-
day the president issued a proclama-
ton putting into effect the new Chin
csc treaty. A statement issued by
the state department shows that al
though relating in its principal pro
visions to questions of commerce
and navigation, removing restrictions
which have hampered them both in
China, it also treats OF a number of
questions of great Importance to the
people of the two countries. For eX-
ample, it defines the rights and privi-
Ieges of diplomatic and consular Off
GERS and of American citizens, espe-
cially missionaries residing in China
and insures the latter enjoyment OF
the rights which they have only had
in the past practically by liberation.
The provision of the treaty which
interests the public most is the open
ing of two new localities in Man.
churia to foreign trade, the ports OF
Mukden and Antung. The depart
ment considers it highly probable
that the presence in these localities
of consular officers of the United
States and other nations having
treaties with China will greatly tend
to the establishment of order in this
much disturbed borderland of China
and will powerfully contribute toward
insuring the principles of the open
door to which this country stands
irrevocably committed, as well as
aiding in insuring the integrity of
China and its administrative contract
over its Manchurian provinces"

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE Chicago pa
pers today print a stOry to the effect
that 5000 employees of the city and
the federal government located in
Chicago have hit upon a plan which
will give them az the advantages OF
belonging to a LABOR union without,
in fact, becoming members of such
an organization.
The story, in eject, is that 10000
acres of land have been acquired in
the province of Chihuahua, Mexico,
and are now held under option. This
land is the proposed property of the
corporation which is to be formed.
OF this corporation, which is Osten-
sibly to be land holding Organiza-
ton, policemen, firemen and postal
employees are to be shareholders, and
all the deliberations are to be held
behind closed doors. With the mon
ey gathered through the sales OF
shares to the members legislation is
to be influenced. The promoters in
sist the organization cannot be touch
ed on account of the fact that there
can be no interference with the prop
erty rights of a corporation or of its
rights to select deliberatiOn. Should
this venture prove successful branch
es of the Organization, each owning
it's own tract and holding its own
meetings behind closed doors, will be
formed throughout the country, and
in this way union action of municipal
as we'll as government employees can
be secured.
