Korean Appeal, If Received, a
Proper Matter for Action.
Washington, Jan. 11.-ThOugh ne
gotiated twenty years ago by Admiral
Schufeldt, state department officials
say the treaty referred to by the KO-
rean minister at Paris has never been
invoked by the government of that
country. Its provisions contemplated
that when any of the powers treated
Korea unjustly the good offices of the
United States might be offered with a
view to an amicable adjustment of the
controversy.
/. Officials say that if any request
comes from Korea for practical ap-
plication of the terms of the treaty it
very properly will be given considera-
ton by this government. It's provi-
sions, however, are regarded as i'm
practical Of satisfactory enforcement,
and the necessity for its existence has
been superseded by the establishment
of The Hague tribunal

HAD NO CHANCE
IROQUOIS THEATER EXITS LOCKED
AND BOLTED.
People Were Penped Up in the Bal
comics Where All But Three OF
the Deaths Occurred Practic.
ally No Provision Was Made for
Safety in Case of Fire.

Chicago, Jan. S.-By their own evil
dence, given before Monroe Fulkerson,
who is conducting the fire department
investigation into the Iroquois theater
horror, the proprietors of the theater
showed that worse condition of affairs
existed than had heretofore been
thought possible.
Will j. Davis, Harry j. Powers and
Thomas j. Noonan, active managers OF
the Iroquois theater were examined by
Mr.. Fulkerson during the day. All OF
them pleaded ignorance of any precau-
tions taken to prevent loss of life by
fire at their theater. They admitted
failure to instruct employees in lighting
fire and failure even to provide suitable
appliances for use against the flames.
Their statements were cor ,oboratad
by the testimony of twenty employees
of the theater, none o. whom had ever
been told what to do in case of fire.
Noenan, who is working manager OF
the theatre under direction of Davis
and Powers, admitted that eleven of
the theater exits were locked and bolt
ed. Two of these exits, leading to the
front of the theater on the ground floor,
we're locked; three additional exits
leading to the front of the theater on
the north side of the ground floor were
boledt; three exits on the north side
of the theater from the first balcony
were bo!ted, and three exits on the
north side of the second floor we're
bolted.
The greatest loss of life by the fire
was in the first and second balconies,
where hundreds were suffocated through
their inability to ges out were trampled
to death while trying to do 30. Had
these three exits in each balcony been
available, according to Mr.. Fulkerson,
the loss OF life must have been dimin-
ished.
Noonan declared that no person had
been named by the theater manage
ment to superintend the operation OF
the ventilators in case of fire, and con-
sequently the flames had bsen permit
ted ito sweep the place instead of seek
ing a natural outlet through the stage
doors.

MAY APPEAL TO US
KOREA LIKELY TO INVOKE ON
TREATY.
Agreement With United States Pro.
vides for the Exercise of Good
Offices in Case Other Powers
Deal Unjustly With the Hermit
Kingdom.

Paris, Jan. 11.-Min Yuen Tchan.
the Korean minister, said to the AS
sociated Press that he would not be
surprised should Korea appeal to the
United States for her good offices in
her behalf in case of an invasion of
Korean territory by one or the other
powers. Under the treaty between the
United Statess and Korea this is per-
Missile
the people of Korea regard the United
States in a most friendly way because
of its faithful policy, and owing to the
fact that the first country to sign a
treaty with the Hermit Kingdom"
was the United States.
Russia does not want war;" added
the minister, "and the Japanese gov
eminent does not want war, but the
Japanese people, fear, will force a
conflict
"The attitude of Korea has not been
disclosed, but my idea is that it will
do all in its power to save its territory
from invasion and to preserve strict
neutrality.
1t is affirmed at the japanese lega-
ton that the reports that Japan has
sent troops to Korea are wholly I'M
founded, and that the Japanese gov
eminent continues to do its utmost for
the maintenance of peace.
Article L, second clause, treaty of
May %, 1882, between the United
States and Korea reads thus:
eff other powers deal unjustly or
oppressively with either government,
the other will exert their good offices,
on being informed of the case, to
bring about an amicable agreement,
thus showing their kindly feelings"
This follows our treaty of 1858 with
China.

one of the most prominent populist
workers in this state, is at Hotel Lag
