Reported That New Evidence is.
Discovered About IrOquOis.
Practically Certain That the Grand
Jury will Find an Indict-
ment.
REPORT IS EXPECTED SOON.

Chicago, Ill. Feb. 18-Ths story
Of q conference in the office OF Mayor
Harrison subsequent to the filing of
the theater report, and previous to
the opening of the Iroquois theater de-
veloped for the grand jury yesterday
the most important lire of information
that has been reached in regard to the
discriminating responsibility of the
city executive and his commissioners Of
buildings George Willisms and indict-
ment against Mayor Harrison was
made more probable by the evidence.
The latest path of investigation will
lead to the question of whether May
or Harrison ordered a license granted
to the Iroquois theater after il had
been refused by Commissioner Will
lisms. An affirmative answer would
verify report that has been current
in both the city hall and criminal
court building for week and would
plunge the mayor into . predicament
before the jury.
A negative answer if complete
enough to exonerate the mayor would
mean the placing of criminal RESPONSE
bility on Williams.
1t was established before the coro-
ner's jury that Williams signed rec
ommendation for license to the Iro-
quois. He prac tically denied this on
his first hearing and the next time
identified his signat ure, but explained
that he could not remember signing
the petition. Since then it has been
learned that this is the only similar
application that bears the Endorsement
of the building commissioner. The
blanks are not provided for such an
Endorsement, and Williams or some
one else signed where the police in
spector is supposed to atfix his name.
Nothing of the kind was ever done be-
fore and Williams told the coroner
that he could not remember the cir
cumstances.
So far as the grand jury has gone
into the connection between the meet
ing aud the signature of Williams to
the license application, there is suspi-
cion that Williams was either advised
or ordered to sign the paper. If this
Is established Mayor Harrison may be
held accountable for the fact that the
theater was in existence. If not Will
liams is directly accountable, and will
likely be indicted.
Behind all this the grand jury has
reviewed the rumor that after finding
all the forty-two theaters in the city
faulty in construction as we'll as in fire
protection the building commissioner
refused to sign applications for liz
cense until he was ordered to do so.
This order is rumcred to have come
from the mayor. Williams will not
talk and Mayor Harrison will not COM
ment on the matter.
