RESULT OF AN INVESTIGATION
sY THE BUILDING COM
MISSIONER.
VIOLATION OF CITY ORDINANCES:
ALL THE PLACES CLOSED Had
FAILED TO SUPPLY ASBESTOS
CURTAINS.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-Mayor Garter Har-
r!scn yesterday took steps to provide
as far as possible against a repetition
of Wednesdays horror at the lro-
Quois theater. AS a result OF an in
vestigation made at hi: orders and
lasting only a few t.:n:-s. nineteen
theaters and museums we're ordered
closed, some Of them being among the
leading and most popular playhouses
in Chicago. The action of the mayor
was based on one single violation Of
the ordinances which are intended to
protect the patrons of theaters from
just such occurrences as that which
cost so many lives on Wednesday. This
was that every one of these places had
failed to supply an asbestos curtain.
The inspection ordered by the mayor
yesterday was carried out by Building
Commissioner Williams and Chief OF
Police O'Neil. The scope of the in
vestigation included no other feature
than asbestos curtains. The mayor
instructed Commissioner Williams to
report to him promptly at the con-
clusion of the investigation, declaring
that it was his intention that NO thea
ter should be
Allowed to Open Its Doors
in Chicago hereafter unless it was pro-
vided with an asbestos curtain Of
standard quality that would work at
all times and under all conditions.
1T may not be possible" said Mayor
Harrison, "to prevent loss of life when
audiences rush for the doorways, but I
have determined to see that every pre-
caution is taken to prevent such occur
rences as will alarm the people and
start them on a rush for the exits. It
is all very we'll to say that the great
loss of life in the IroQuois theater was
due to the fact that the people lost
their heads and crowded into the door,
ways and aisles like maniacs, but the
fact remains, and it cannot be denied.
that there would have been no panic
If the apparatus of this theater, which,
judged by all ordinary standards, was
the best equipped playhouse in the
city, had been in proper working con-
d:tion. There is no getting beyond
that fact. From all the evidence now
In hand it is clear that if the asbestos
curtain in this theater had been in the
condition it should have been, there
would have been no loss OF life, COM
