mum Der of deaths SOL. Mise Josephine
Spence was one of those severely burned
during the fire. She was found by rel
atives and taken to her home, where

That many places Of worship are not
entirely safe from a t1rs disaste such as
occurred in the Iroquois theater, is now
admitted by church trustees. The first
step has been taken by the Hyde Park
Baptist church to secure improved con-
ditions. The board of trustees at a
meeting have decided to write TO May
or Harrison and ask him to have a
competent building inspector examine
the church.
The first damage suit against the pro-
prietors of the Iroquoie theater and
the city OF Chicago growing out OF the
fire had been filed by Ivy Owens, as
administrator of the estates of Miss

directed against the Iroquois Theater

MANY REMAIN CLOSED.
Lar ge Percentage Of Chicago Thea
tiers Will Never Reopen.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-The committee
composed Of the members of the city
council, appointed to investigate the
condition of the local theaters and to
report upon what alterations are neces-
sary to make them conform to building
ordinances, held its first meeting yes-
terday.
According to the statement of Alder
man Fries'edt, one OF the mem bers, it
is doubtful if 35 per cent of the thea
ters ever will reopen their doors. Strict
adherence to the building laws would
require that everyone OF the playhouse :
in the city be of tireproof construction,
mad thi. would require the demolition
and rebuilding OF the majority OF the
theaters.

ALASKA LEGISLATION.
Recon mendations of Senate Commit
tee Who Visited Territory.


Washington, Jan. An authorized
statement of the chief recommendations
which the senators WHO visited Alaska
last summer Will make "a congress is
reduced to this:
Fir4t-No territorial form OF govern
ment.
Second-A delegate in congress to oe
appoionted by the United States.
Third Construction of wagon roads,
the cost OF which is to be betrayed from
the revenues OF the territory.
Fourth-A thorough revision Of the
mining laws by a committee or con-
mission to be appointed for that pur-
pose.
Fifth-The creation Of an additional
district in Northwestern Alaska.
Minor needs Of the territory will fig
ure in the recommendations Of the sen-
atorial committee, but these FIVE are
regarded as highly important.
Four or five bills intended to carry
into effect these ideas, have been pre-
pared and will soon be introduced
There will be meeting of the entire
senate committee On territories within
two or three days and at that meeting
the subcommittee, consisting OF oenat
ors Nelson, Dillingham;, Bu,nham and
Patterson, will present it's bulky report
of their Alaska trip in July and Aug
usts last.
The members OF the subcommittee
mean business, and they, at least, ex-
pect that results in line with their
recommendations will be forthcoming
before the end of the present session
The senator's objection to territorial
form Of government recites that the
distances are long, that the country is
sparsely settled and that the expense
OF administration would be greatly in
creased without any compensating adj
vantage to the people of Alaska.
The objection to the election OF del
egate is also based on the great extent
of territory and the slow and incon-
venient means of travel. The senator's
believe that the power to appoint del
egate, subject to raticfitaion by the
senate, might we'll be entrusted to the
president. The committee especially
urges the construction OF wagon roads,
and presents the businesslike PROPOSE
ton that good deal of road building
can appropriately be done by applying
the receipts from the territory itself to
this object

Negro Arouses Congregationalists.

A dispatch from Des Moines Iowa, last
night says: The discussion Of the need and
prospects Of a genuine and widespread re-
vival of religion was the feature of today's
session of the National Congregational
council The subject was discussed by four
different speakers, who agreed that the
signs of an existing revival are present, and
that a better state of things is coming In
the religious world. Rev. H. H. Proctor,
colored clergyman, stated that there is now
a revival of religion in Atlanta. Ga, which
is shaking the city from center to circum-
ference, but, he said, "if l were to walk
into one of the services it would distract
and destroy the revival" Mr.. Proctor was
received with special enthusiasm, and he
electrified the council with his keen thrusts
on race questions and adverse to lynching.
He said that he would favor the death pen
atty for white or black man who made a
criminal assault upon woman, but he IA
vored death, not by lynching, but by law.
