HOSPITAL ON THEATER SITE.
Wealthy Chicagoian Who Suffered
Through Fire Makes Suggestion.

CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 15.-As a lasting
memorial to those who persisted in the
Iroquois theatre fire an emergency
hospital, designed particularly for the
care of women and children, has been
suggested by Richard T. Crane. jr.. vice
president Of the Crane company.
Should the idea meet with favor, Mr..
Crane believes that whatever amount
Of money might be required to build
the hospital could be raised by pOpu-
lar subscription. perhaps by the sub
scription alone of those whose rela-
tives were among the victims.
LAS one whose family sustained gre
viOus loss in the fire. l am willing to
start the list of donors with check
for S50OO," he said.
Among those whose bodies We're re-
covered from the ruins of the theater,
were Mr.. Cranes two little nieCeS,
Mary DOrothea Gartz. II years old.
and Barbara Gatz, ! years old, the
children Of a. F. Gartz.
Alderman to Act.
Mr.. Cranes suggestion is meeting
with considerable approval. and the
IroQuOis theater is proposed by Alder
man Butterworth as the site of the
hospital. The alderman will Introduce
a preliminary order on the subject in
the council Monday night. Said he:
ITO what better use could that site
De putt
A memorial church is not to be
thought of in that part of the city. NO
business house should be allowed to ac-
ouire the site for use. The city should
purchase it and dedicate it to the aid
Of the helpless and the suddenly strick-
en-.
For years there has been need of an
emergency hospital down town. People
are injured on the crowded streets and
crossings, and there has been no
ready refuge for them. They have
had to endure the jolting of ambulance
wheels over the rough cObblestOnes on
the way to the county hospital or some
other retreat, and many a wounded
person has died for that reason. l am
sure the public will give enough money
to pay the larger part of the cost The
site is valuable. but not too valuable
for this purpose"
