CITY TO SHOW GRIEF.

Mayor Harrison to Suggest Closing Down
of Busin esaSn Saturday.
Mayor Harrison who first heard of
the theater disaster at Kansas City,
announced Immediately on reaching
Chicago his intention to issue proc
lamation suggesting the closing down
Of all business on Saturday, which
porbably will be the general burial
day, and asking for the cessation of
all unnecessary noise on that day.
He said he would also issue a proc
lamation asking for the observance Of
perfect quiet on new years eve; that
the people forego the usual new years
celebration which isusually attended
by the footing Of horns, ringing of bells
and great din.
Asked as to his opinion regarding
the cause of the fire, the mayor gave
it as his opinion that the Iroquis was
the safest theater in Chicago and that
if the asbestos curtain had not failed
to work, the disaster would not have
occurred He lays the cause entirely
To that one fact.
With reference to placing the blame,
the mayor said that he could not make
any statement until after the coroner
has made his report
