Blame should Rest.

blame ShOulO REST
CHICAGO, Jan. 14-Mayor Harri-
son was a witness before the coroneTs
Jury in the Iroquois theater fire in
quest. He testified that the blame for
the unsafe condition of the theater was
divided among Building Commissioners
williams, Fire Marshal Musham, the
city council and its subcommittee,
which received and ''smothered' the
report on the condition of Chicago the
aters two months before the fire.
Building Commissioner Williams has
announced to the managers of the Au-
ditorium that they could open their hall
provided the stage is entirely shut off
from the main auditorium by the fire
proof steel curtain. This places the Au-
ditorium practically in the class Of
buildings IN which no movable scenery
is used.
The managers of the Iroquois theater
through their attorneys made demand
upon Coroner Traeger for the posses
sion Of the theater building. They de-
clared that there were insurance losses
to be adjusted and repairs TO be made,
and they desired to get about this work
as soon rs possible.
Assistant State Attorney Barnes, re-
plying in behalf Of the coroner, said
that the insurance adiusters could visit
the theater at any time, but that nei-
Their they nor any other persons would
be permitted 10 alter existing condl-
ions in the building until after the con-
cluslon of the coroner's inquest.
Building Commissioner Williams has
closed sixteen more public halls. He
also closed the halls in the Grace Epis-
copal church and the Second Presby
terlan chslrch structures. A large west
side lodging house was also closed

For instance, a beautiful jardiniere
may be made with bits of broken china.

purpose is an unglaZed jar. This should
be first painted and then covered with
