CHICACO'S AWFUL BLAZE
lroFuOis TheatsF Destroyed and
Nearly 900 Lives Lost.

Last Wednesday afternoon, during a
matinee performance at the Iroquois
theater in Chicago, a new play house
and believed by the authorities and the
public to be fireproof, fire broke out
behind the foot-lights. A protruding
reflector prevented the action of the
asbestos curtain, which when drop
ped reached on one end but within 20
feet of che floor of the stage. The
powerful current Of air thus produced
caused a frightful blaze. A panic en-
sued and at last accounts 5S7 persons
were burned, sufocated or trampled
to death. 1t was the worst since the
historic blaze which swept the city in
the early 7O's.
AS a result the city authorities have
peen diligently looking into the fire or
dinances and have discovered that
every theater in Chicago has been
violating one or more sections. On
Saturday, by direction of the mavor
aud building commissioner every house
was dark and will so remain until the
owners or lessees comply
with the regulations
The managers of the Iroquois, many
of the stage hands and officials of the
city, connected with the public build.
lngs department have been placed un-
der arrest, and number of the actors
participating in the production of ''Mr.
Buebeard' an extravaganza occupying
the boards at the time of the catas-
trophe have been detained in the city
to appear as witnesses when the mat
ter is brought before the city courts
