Powerful Influence Is Being 8rouehs
to Bear in Behalf OF %Iroquois
CuInrits.

Chicago, Feb. I.-Arthur Il. Hull.
who lost his entire family in the Iro-
quois fire. appeared Saturday before
the special grand jury which Is investi-
eating the disaster, in answer to a sub
poena, and gave answer to the ques-
tons put by assistant States Attor-
|ney Barnes relating to his charge that
powerful influences We're at work to
prevent the punishment of those re-
sponsible."
Mr.. Full refused to be shaken in his
opinion. He explained that the printed
Fcircular.to the members of the Iroquois
Memorial association containing the
charge wa sent out by himself, acting
ms an "~individual.'' In this capacity he
reiterated his belief in the truth of his
|ttatement.
In addition he again protested tina
there should be no citizen sitting on a
|fpecial jury who vas directly or indi-
.rectly connected with the %Iroquois the
inter- or tile city administration. He re-
.|erred to Jurors Ernest Heldmaier, who
had the contract for setting the cut
stone in the erection of the playhouse.
and Philip j. Sharkey, a former city
contractor, whose relations with the
city hall officials held responsible for
the disaster by the coroner's Jury are
known to be friendly.
Makes Statement to Jury.
It was said that the members Of the
jury had prepared a number of cues
tons for Mr.. Hull. but he first held a
conference with Assistant States At
torney Barnes and afterward made a
statement to the jury.
Would you state positively to the
grand jury that powerful influences are
at work to prevent Justice being done?.
he was asked by Mr.. Barnes.
NO" he replied, because I have no
positive evidence of such q state OF
affairs"
MI. Hull also stated that he was in
harmony with the investigation and to
Insure its thoroughness volunteered to
place what evidence he could gather in
h hands Of the states attorney for
presentation to the jury.
1t WAS denied yesterday that the Of
fer of James A. Cummings, stage car
penter, to testify under waivure of his
been accepted. The report that Cum
mings and William McMuellin had
subpoenaed was also declared to
be without foundation. &
Roger Cummings, son Of the stage
was one Of the witnesses
called yesterday, with John Dougherty,
the extra Fly" man.
Probability of Indictments.
Volunteer witnesses, persons who es-
capped from the Inflated theater and
evidence was not given at the
inquest, are coming forward,
anxious to tell the inquisitors of the
enacted within the playhouse
after the panic had begun. This testi-
nony is considered most important.
the investigation proceeds it be-
more and more likely that in
will be voted charging man.
