CAUSE OF CHICAGO FIRE.
Heat From Flood Light the Alleged
Reason.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-William McMullen,
manager of the spot" light, which is
alleged to have caused the fire in the
Iroquois theater. testified before the
investigation hearing that the spot
light had nothing to do with it, He
said the fire was caused by the heat
from the flood" light above the spot
light The flood light is a big light
used to flood" the theater. McMullen
said his spot light was turned out
when the fire started. He said he was
looking up at the food light and saw
the fiimsy border blow directly over
the flood light. The heat from this
light, he alleged. caused the fire.
The city electrician followed with
testimony that the heat from the food
light was sufficient to cause the fire.
