condition. He reported this fact this
morning TO Deputy Building Commits
sioner Stanhope. The deputy commits
siOner this morning, in company with
Inspectors LaUghlin, Lense and Dali

spection- On his return to the city hall
he said.
The theater and its management
were strictly within the law. I shall
not go into details until I have COM
pleted my report
Building Ordinance.
Section 1S5 of the local building ordi-
nance provides that IN buildings Of the
class 10 which the IroquOis theatre be-
longs there shall be a system of auto
matte sprinltlers. There were no s9rin-
hers IL the ITOQuCiS theatre. and Mr..
Stanhope, when this was called to his
attention, said: There was no sprin-
kler system in the theatre, but the pro-
vision about the iron doors made it
unnecessary for the theatre to have
them"
Section 1S9 Of the ordinance provides
! that theatres be equipped with fire
alarms connected with the city fire
alarm system.
Mr.. stanhope said: "The Iroquois
has fire alarm connections. I did not
see the box, but that is my informa-
! ton"
City Electrician FyIand said: 1.-THE
Iroquois had no FIRE alarm connection
with the city alarm system No appli-
cation is on file for any such cOnnec-
ton"
The alarm of fire was turned r. from
box more than half a block from the
theatre.
The law provides that there shall be
a ven6lating shaft at the rear end Of
J the stage TO conduct flames and smoke
awsy from the auditorium IN just such
/ emergencies as arose yesterday. The
Iroquois possessed no such ventilating
shaft.
Inspected by Aldermen.
Twelve aldermen today inspected the
theatre and returned to the city hall
and called on the building department.
They asked to see the plans Of the
theatre and Mr.. StanhOpe produced
! them.
How about sprnkIers? ' demanded
Alderman Jones.
THE way the theatre is built they
can be left out" Mr.. Stanhope. replied.
And anyhow, the flames spread so
rapidly that no sprinkler system would
have availed anything
Aldermen Jones then remarked that
the ordinance requires all exits to be
marked.
THAT viii be looked into" Mr.. Stan
hope said. Remember, however, that
the lights were out and that many Of
the people were killed in their seats"
Pointing to the diagram Of the the
atres Alderman Herman said. Here
is passageWay on the south side OF
the first balcony which looks as though
ii led 10 a stairway. But in the dark
ness people scrambling through it
were caught like rats in a trap They
could not get either way. The con
| fusion Of exits was such that no one
/ could find his way in the dark If
/ those things are regarded as exits. I
Go not know what constitutes an exit
! that would be Of any use"
Mr. StanhOpe told the aldermen that
he had made an inspection Of the build
ing and that structurally it was good.

Exits Were Traps.

Alderman Herman, IF you talk for 100
years, that people could get out Of that
place. ] do not care what they call the
exits, they did not wcrk: there were not
enough Of them open. and the people
could not get out. These plans show

aisle at all Now what I want 10 know
u.s. did these people in building this the
atre live up to the plans they submit

Here there seemed to be ample exits
on paper. but a number of friends of
mine got badly seorched just the same"
'On the first floor they got out" said
MT. StanhOpe.
My friends were on the first floor.
but they received burns on their backs
just the same" Alderman Herman re-
joined.

WEATHER AT WORLDS FAIR.
Cool Nights and Delightful Indian Summer to Be Expected at St. Louis.

Cool Nights and Delightful Indian Summer to Be Expected at St. Louis.
 Usually the warmest month of the year, July proved to be one of the most pleasant of the Worlds Fair season, the average temperature being G de Srees. a record lower than that made by either Boston, New York, Philadel- pnia, Cincinnati or Chicago. The weather bureau records show that the temperatures in St. Louis during July were just between the extremes re- corded at New Orleans and St. Paul. cities located at great variance.
 August in St Louis is month of cool nights, and September and Octo- Der are the most delightful months of the year. It is that period known as Indian summer, when the foliage and birds finger to challenge the coming winter Nowhere on the American con tinent is there spot more delightful than the Worlds Fair city, a garden of blooming flowers and spraying foun- tainS.
 St. Louis. like all cities, experienced several hot days during July, but her highest temperature recorded was 93 degrees against GA degrees registered by the thermometer at Chicago. On the same day the mercury rose to 96 degrees i'll Philadelphia, and scores of heat prostrations were reported from New York and Boston.
 The relative humidity shows St. Louis to be about normal Assuming absolutely no moisture in the atmos- phere to be zero and absolute wetness to be 100, the relative humidities for July, taken from the records of more than twenty years. Boston shows roc, New York T2.2. Philadelphia 6S.6. Cincin- natl G4.6. Chicago 669 and St. Louis 66.3. Tine same degree of heat in two places. with different degrees of hu- midity, would cause it to seem the hotter at the point of greater density
 St. Louis may therefore rightly claim to be a summer resort this summer, positively one of the most comfortable and delightful places on the map.
