Results in Holding Of Mayor
Harrison.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-The coroner's
jury, which for three weeks has been
listening to evidence relating to the fire
in the IroquOis theater, last night re-
turned a verdict by which the follow
ing persons are held to await the action
of a grand jury:
Carter H. Harrison, mayor of Chi
cago.
viii ]. Davis, proprietor in part and
manager of the theater
George Williams, building commits
sioner of Chicago.
. Edward Laughlln, building inspector
under Williams.
William Sallers, fireman in the thea
ter.
James e. Cummings, stage carpenter.
William Mullen, who had charge Of
the light that caused the fire.
The chief executive of the city is
charged with gross incompetence in
the management of the city's affairs to
such an extent THAI the jury believes
that he is one Of the direct causes Of
conditions that made the calamity pos
slble
Chief W. H. Musham of the fire de-
partment is charged with lax manage
ment OF the fire department.
George Williams, commissioner Of
buildings, is found TO be inefficient in
the conduct of the department of which
he is the head.
The chief blame for the fire horror is
charged to VIII J. Davis, president of
the Iroquois Theater company.
Orders for the arrest Of the eight men
were made out by Coroner Traeger and
placed in the hands of two deputy sher-
ifs. The coroner ordered the arrests TO
be made as soon as possible.
A special grand jury will convene
next week to reopen the investigation
and decide what action shall be taken
on the coroner's report. The charges to
be made before the grand jury are
malfeasance in Office so far as the city
officials are concerned. Conviction
means their removal from Office In adj
dition to any other penalty that may
be decided upon.
Harry ]. Powers, associate manager
Of the theater escaped. The impression
he made before the cOrOners jury aided
him greatly, and the advice of several
members to find that he had done little
beyond investing in the theater was
finally accepted as unanimous.
The arrest of the eight persons will
take place at once, and they will be
forced to give heavy bonds Indict-
ments against each of the men will be
asked, and others may be drawn into

One naturalist in trying to photo
graph the nest of RAIL stationed his
camera not more than two feet away:
but while he was in the act of focusing
the instrument the bird fearlessly
stepped into the nest and began to
cover herself with the lining of soft
fiber. She was photographed several
times, and was then bodily lifted on
the nest and carried some distance.
The naturalist fastened back to the
camera, but before photograph could
be had the rail was calmly seated on
her nest again.

A. o. U. W. HOME.

The local members of the United
Workmen have received a circular
letter from the committee appointed
by the Grand Lodge to take up the
consideration of the erection of a
home for aged and needy members
OF the order asking for a PROPOSE
ton from their lodge, or from Red
wood Falls, for the location of the
home at this place.
The home is to be a plain struc-
ture, fre-proof as near as may be,
two stories high with basement
preferably court style, and to cost
not to exceed $25, 900.
The committee wishes to have
submitted by the local lodge, or by
Redwood Falls, plans, specifications.
etc., and site for the same, or
either of them, at as early date as
possible. The committee also wants
recommendations as to the building,
site and location.
The matter will be brought to
the attention of the Commercial club
at its next meeting. There seems
to be no doubt on the part of the
men who will take an interest in
the enterprise but what Redwood
Falls will agree to furnish good
site for the home, as well as to pay
for plans and specifications for the
building. The institution will be a
worthy one and if located here will
be credit to Redwood Falls.

very few hits, while the support
given them by the remainder of the
club was excellent.
