New York, Jan. 2.-The war scare

mind to-day for the first time since
the situation has become threatening
between Russia and Japan. and gen.

est market for realizing. Such stocks
as Amalgamated, with Pacifics, the
local fractions and United States Steel
preferred. suffered to the extent Of
az to over points. The last prices
We're not at the lowest, but the rail-
lies We're spasnodic and due to hasty
profit taking by successful bear trad
ers. Wall street has accepted the eX-
| IRENE likelihood Of war for some
| time past and has seemed to view this

day. The published news afforded no
additional factors in the situation to
account for the semi-panicky out
break to-day, but the violent break
in prices gave rise to approximations

that the local managers are particu-
larly careful in taking precautions for
safety, and he. thinks that the thea
tiers are far in advance of those in
other places In the matter of safe
guards and watchfulness. The lob
bies are short, the exits numerous and
plainly indicated, the water supply
ample. The theaters are also built
with skylights over the stage, which
arrangement, in the event of a fire on
the stage, would cause draft and
draw the fire and smoke away from
the auditorium portion.
Mr.. Ringer also commends other
protective arrangements but at the
same time the ordinance is5not what it
should be in very many essential par
! ticulars and the time has come for a
new one.
It may be accepted as foregone that
| the ordinance will pass. With the
vivid and terrible lesson before them,
| the building inspector believes it in
| conceivable that any of the aldermen
will oppose any legislation that ma
ture Judgment would dictate nor that
any Of the theater managers would
/ seek to defeat a just measure or eyade
/ it after it became a law.
President D. p. Jones, Of the city
/ council, said to-day that he would IA
| vor any suggestion offered by the
| building inspector and in his opinion
/ any measure which Mr.. Houghtor
would insist upon as being essential
for the safety of the public would be
/ unanimous adopted
i IT understand that conditions here
are very satisfactory said Mr.. Jones
"but we can't be too careful nor take
too many precautions against disaster
If our theater ordinance is ineffective
it ought to be changed and now is The
/ time to do it. I don't see how any one
i would dare to oppose a proper. ordi.

Late yesterday afternoon man,
haggard and worn, walked up to a
Cottage, Grove car and climbed
aboard, carrying in his arms the body
of a little golden haired girl. The
form was wrapped in a canvas cloth
but not sufficiently to conceal it. The
conductor protested that it was
against the rules to carry a dead body
With his free hand the man thrust
into the face~of the conductor a large
revolver and said in a, tone which. be-
token utter WEAKNESS and almost lack
