On League Presidency.

Decatur Herald: In connection with
the talk of the coming melting of the
ThrCe-Eye league il was remarked III;
the Herald the other day that there
was a lot of politics in baseball. The
Bloomington papers gave out the in
timatiOn that there was no opposition
to President Holland and that he would
again be the choice of the league at
the coming meeting. AS a matter of
fact some of the cities voting to de-
throne Mike Sexton a year ago now
feel that a mistake was made. if the
talk of the club managers visiting De
Catur during the summer can he relied
on. 1t is not known that Mr.. Sexton
would again take the Office were it
offered to him. but there is a strong
suspicion that he will, and there is a
further strong suspicion that there will
be an effort to elect him when the an
nual meeting is held in Springfield
month. Mr.. Hollands administration
is given due credit and the club man
ayers are free to admit that he has
done wonderfully well for a beginner.
There is no criticism offered and he
is personally popular throughout the
circuit. but there is a feeling that Sex
ton should again be taken up. 1t is
no diSparagement to Mr.. Holland To
say that Mike Sexton is recognized
throughout the baseball world as one
of the most efficient men in minor
league baseball today. His opinions
and his ability in this line are re
spected in the higher councils of the
game The question of president
however. may not settle down To one
or two men From Davenport there
comes a story that an effort will he
made to land Jim Hayes in the berth.
The political end of the game is de-
velOping and promises some nice com
plications before the matter is def
nitely settled.

Springfield. Ill. Sept. 24.-AccOrding
TO the judgment of the men in charge

Wednesday. The official reports from

ment is made that there is little
foundation for the alarming stories of
injury to Illinois corn which have been

Detroit. Mich, Sept. 24.-The own
ers of the Detroit baseball club have
decided on w. A. Armour former man
ager of the Cleveland club. as a man
to handle the local team next season.
A coincidence connected with his ap-
pointment is the fact that Armour

succeeds, when the latter managed the

Manager Hugh NicOl was in confer

as he will have a financial interest in
the team, assured them that his serv-

have signified their hopes that Peoria

WILL HAVE TO REBUILD
MANY CHICAGO THEATRES WILL NEVER BE OPENED.
To Comply With Proposed Safety Ordinances, Demolition and Re- construction Will Be Necess-
 ary-Iroquois Tnvestiga-

Chicago, Jan. 1.-The special committee composed of members of the City Council appointed last night to investigate the condition of the local theatres and to re- port upon what alterations are necessary to make them conform to the building ordinances, held its first meeting today.
 According to the statement of Alderman Friestadt, one of the members of the committee, 1t is doubtful If 35 per cent. of the theatres will ever reopen their doors. Strict adherence to the building laws would require that every one of the play houses in the city be of fireproof con- struction and this would require the de- moIition and rebuilding of the majority of the theatres.
 Alderman Jones, Chairman of the Com mittee, said tonight:
 we will first revise the building or dinances. Then we will visit the theatres and decide what alterations will be nec- essary to make the construction of the houses conform to the law. Of course, the owners of theatres will do nothing until they know just exactly what the amended ordinances will demand of theEa."
 Late today attorneys of the Fire De- partment caused the arrest of four em- ployes of the Fuller Construction Com pany. David Jones, a masonry foreman. and Angus Mckay. Otto Rausch and John Kingston, iron workers.
 Attorneys for the Fuller Company took Jones. who had been sought by the police for several days. to the Fire Depart ment. It had been charged that Jones and his men broke the skylights on the theatre after the fire in order to destroy possible evidence. It developed today that after the arrest of Jones and E's men that the skyllghts were blocked oy scantlings and tied with wire to prevent their opening and that neither of them had been opened since the theatre was built.
 Jones. in making this statement to the Fire Department, said:
 1T took the three iron workers with me up through an adjoining building and out on the theatre roof over the stage. First I removed the wooden scantling which blocked the slVyllghts. Then I found the lights tied with wire inside and broke two panes of glass to get at the wire to unite them. I finally got the wires off and opened the skylights."
 Jones was asked why he went to tine roof of the theatre, and replied that he had been told the north wall had cracked in the fire and went to see if it was true, He declared he had loOsened the skylights because be feared they might fall through and injure somebody on the stairs.

snce on the lives of thoss who psfished in the theatre fire depend for their pay nent ou the verdict of the corcnere Jury. An Attorney for the relatives of some of those who died declares that verdict should be given in each particular case of tieati, in order that collection of in- insurance may be possible.
 Joseph 4. paugherty. who tried to low CT the asbebtos curtain at the lroquois Theatre on the fetal day, provided At torney Fulkerson of the Fire Department with a new theory of the curtains failure to work. Daugherty declared that dur' ing a matinee performance two weeks ago a fire broke out on the lroquofs stage but was extinguished. On that occasion Daugherty said an attempt to lower the fire curtain resulted in its striking plank used as q platform from which to operate spot lights The same plank was in place the day of the disaster, said Daugh- erty Daugherty declared his belief that the descending curtain struck the plank on tho day of the catastrophe just as t did few days before.
 The Fuller Company has agreed to aid the Fire Department in every way possi- ble by supplying witnesses.
 After the interview with Daugherty' Attorney Fulkerson said the rumor Of a previous fire at the theatre had been in vestigated several days ago. but as It had been denied by most of the author tiles, including VIII J. Davis, he had been compelled to believe that the report had no proper basis.
 'so far as can learn" said Attorney Fulkerson. 'fthe fire two weeks ego was in a pile of combustible material back of the stage and was extinguished without alarming the audience. The fire curtain failed to work and why this warning was iisregarded is a matter that somebody will have to explain"
 Daugherty's statement was made under oath.

Why did you take three iron workers with you to inspect brick wall?" asked Attorney Fulkerson, for the Fire Depart ment.
 Jones was confused, but finally an- sWered that the men went with him through curiosity. He admitted that thc iron workers helped him open the sky lights and worked with him about the roof for half an hour. Although he said he went to the theatre of his own accord and without orders from the Fuller Con- struction Company, he admitted that he should have been in another building where he had been working.
 When asked how he was going to ex- plain to the company that employed him why he had taken three of its employees and kept them with him for practically an hour in order to satisfy his curiosity. Jones could make no satisfactory reply. He denied that he had used any tools in forcing open the skylights but this state- ment was refuted by George Mueller, who witnessed the breaking open of the SKY lights from an adjoining building.
 Numerous witnesses who were in adjoin- ing buildings overlooking the theatre, tes- tif1ed that the sSyIights were not open during the fire.
 Coroner Traegar said tonight that he was almost ready for the inquest, which will commence Thursday.
 'T wish it understood. he said. that this is not trial, but simply an inquiry to determine the facts of the fire as far as we can. The coroner's jury will not attempt to fix the blame of the fire upon anybody nor win 1t recommend the pun ishment of anybody. It will simply report on the facts as 1t has been able to gather them and the rest of the work will be left for the States attorney If 1t is found that there is anything for him to do."
 According to the manager of the local theatres, the closing of the playhouses in this city has disarranged the theatrical business of the entire country. Compa- nies that have been booked for this city for the next fortnights are either sus- pended or they are being sent to other cities, thus forcing other companies to change their routes.
