HAUNTED BY MEMORY
OF A CHlLD'S EYES.

Chicago, Jan. Miss Georgia
Swift, a prominent society wom-
an, was badly battered and bruised
in the panic in the theater. In
talking of her experiences to-day, she
said:
IT started up the aisle at about the
same time as all the others, ] suppose.

the stage and when / had reached the
rear of the auditorium the aisle was
choked with people who had fallen. /

them. and Just as / did so, my eyes
were caught by those of a little boy,
about seven years old, who was lying
on the floor, unable to rise. He had

Is But Speculation.

Paris, Jan. lit is said in a we'll in
formed quarter here that France would
have no right to officially communicate
Russias reply to Japan, and 1t is
added that the reply has not yet been
framed, and that it is expected that
it will be presented to the Japanese
government through Baron De Rosen.
the Russian minister at Toxic. AT
the same time it has been known here
for the last few days that Russia s
attitude has been changing, as a re-
suit of the bellicose policy which Japan
is pursuing, and that Russia is dis
inclined to make the concessions which
would have been possible, it is as
serted, had Japan adopted a more con-
cilfatory course.
1t is reiterated that if there is any
breaking off of relations Japan, not
Russia, will take the initial step. The
information of the Japanese minister
in London, therefore, is in a line, gen.
orally, with that which the diplomatic
corps here has been in possession of
for several days. But it is conceded
that until Russia's reply is actually
submitted any discussion of 'its con-
tents must be more or less specula-
tive.

WAR SEEMS CERTAIN.
1t Is Believed That Japan Is stop
ping All Dispatches.

London, Jan. 2.-The Far Eastern
outlook is gloomy. No further news
has developed, but the fact that not
single telegram from Japan has been
received by any London newspaper
since Thursday night in itself creates
alarm. The telegraph company is not
aware of any delay in the transit of
messages, and it, therefore, is supposed
that the Japanese government is stop
ping dispatches.
The feeling of apprehension was re-
flected at Lloyds yesterday, underwrit-
ers demanding additional premium to
cover a war risk on all vessels. no
matter of what nationality, proceed
ing east of Singapore.
The London morning papers print
alarmist statements. The Daily Tele-
graph, in loaded type, says:
Even in diplomatic circles, hither-
to sanguine of peace, there is recog-
milton that a rupture is all but inevi-
table. Neither Japan nor Russia will
abate anything of their claims, and
there is no disposition on either side
10 invite the meuldtlOu OF friendly
powers 1t is believed that Japan will
take decisive sters within the next
few days, unless a conciliatory mes
sage is dispatched from St. Peters,
burg, a contingency which those best
able to form judgment do not antici-
pate"
The Daily Mail deals similarly with
the situation and says that it UNDER
stands that Russia has reached a de-
cision which, when communicated to
Japan, must precipitate hostilities.

Inaba Maru, which was fixed for yes

his continuous trips from morgue to
morgue, from hospital to hospital,
from police stations to the coroner's
office, and then back through the weari-
some round again and again, came
this afternoon in utter despair to the
office of Chief of Police O'Neil and
begged two detectives to assist him.
He also pleaded with newspaper men,
and his voice choked and failed as he
referred to his wife, who lay utterly
Frustrated at their home.
Mr.. Lange said these were his only
children and the detectives and news
paper men promised him every assist
anoe, though they themselves were
worn out by long hours of work. FL
nally, the body of the girl was found
and the broken-hearted father gather
ed up the little form and took it to his
carriage.
81 have one of them at last" he
said, land even this will be a great
comfort to her mother"
The absolute failure of Mr.. Lange to
identify any one of the bodies as that
of his son aroused some hope that the
boy might still be alive and cared for
in some hospital.
The funeral of the two Regensberg
children was held this afternoon at the
home of their parents, 344O Michigan
avenue, in the heart of the aristocratic
section of the southside. Because of
the many calls upon his time, DR..
Emil E. G.. Hirsch, who conducted the
services, announced that he would be
able to deliver only short address.
In four other homes of the members
of his congregation lay the bodies of
children, waiting for him to officiate
at their funerals.
Mr.. Lange's sorrow was turned to
JOY when he returned home tonight. AS
he drove up to the door with the body
which he had brought from the morgue
as that of his daughter, he was greet
ed by his wife, who told him that
their two children had returned home
this evening in safety. They had be-
come dazed, apparently, and had been
wandering around the city, without
knowing where they were. Mr.. Lange
at once returned to the morgue with
the body Of the little girl which he
thought to be his own child.
There was so little by which I could
recognize the body" he said, that I
was confident that I never would be
able to satisfy my own mind absolute
ly that it was my daughter, but at
the same time there were some strong
points of resemblance, and l concluded
| that it must be she.

STAGE HANDS ARRESTED.


Chicago, Jan. 1.-The police to-day
vigorously pushed their inquiry into the
causes of the fire and made several ar
rests of stage hands, among them Will
liam McMullen, the operator of the
light which started the fire. He was
locked up at the central station, and
Wilson Kerr, fly man at the theater,
was also placed in a cell.
Fifteen members of the double oc-
tette, which takes part in the song,
In the Pale Moonlight" have been
placed under arrest by the police, Miss
Romano being the sole one who has so
far eluded the detectives. They are
wanted as witnesses, and there is no
charges against any of them. Orders
were issued by Chief of Police O'Nein
tonight that none of the fifteen would
be released unless a bond of $4,000 was
furnished.
McMullen, the light operator under
went a searching examination by AS
sistant Chief of Police Schuettler this
afternoon. McMullen's story is as fol-
lows:
Il was standing on the iron bridge
at the right side of the stage from
which the spot light is operated. The
lamp seemed in good condition, but in
the middle of the second act, Just as |
changed from white light to blue
one, the arc between the carbons
spluttered and jumped. A spark struck
the frayed edge on the inside of the
border of the curtain drapery.
"A flame, which 1 should say was
about twelve inches long, shot up. 1
abandoned the lamp and clapped my
hand upon the flames, but they spread
in spite of me. 1 called to have the
fire curtain lowered, and yelled to the
house fireman to help me. He came
with patent fire extinguisher, which
had no effect on the flames. Finally 1
jumped from the bridge to the stage.
"a little child in one of the front
boxes had already been badly burned.
1 seized her and carried her out and
then returned to the theater Here 1
worked, pulling people out of the chok-
ed exits until it was useless to stay
any longer"
With the arrest of McMullen the po-
lice believe they have the last impor-
tant witness among the theater en-
ployers who are essential to a complete
inquiry at the coroners inquest.

IT SMACKS OF WAR
INFORMATION REACHES THE ia
PANESE MINISTER IN LONDON.
RUSSIA REFUSES PROPOSALS
so 1T is REPORTED FROM PARIS,
BUT ALSO DENIED.

Baron Hayashi said IL the Informal
ton Were True 1t Would Very
Probably Mean Wnr-British For
eign Secretary Has Given Up Hope
for Peace-DispRtches From ST.
Petersburg, Berlin and Paris Are
More ReassurinE.
London. Jan. 1-Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister here, has been IN
formed from Paris that Russia has
decided not to grant the japanese pro-
posals.
This is the first intimation anyone
here has received anent the Russian
reply.
The Baron said to a representative
of the Associated Press:
eff my information from Paris is
borne out by the wording of the Rus
sian reply, and if the Japanese gov
eminent adheres to it's present deter
mination, there seems to be small pos
sibility of averting war.
INV information from Paris" said
the minister of Japan, lis not OFF,
cial but in connection with lnIorIha-
ton impaired to me by the British
government, it is probably only too
correct.
"If Chancellor Won Buelows state
ment that Russia's reply will be
framed in a manner intended to salts
fly Japan turns out correct, it will be
better news than have dared to hope
for"
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne has in
formed one of the foreign ambassa-
doris that he has practically given
up all hopes of peace.
At the embassies here the state
ment made by Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister to-day, that he had
been informed from Paris that Rus
STA had decided not to grant the Jap
anese proposals, is regarded as being
most grave especially in view of the
minister's statement that his informa-
ton came from Paris and the fact
that he permitted such information tc
become known at this critical stage.

QUIET ON THE PACIFIC.
Situation at the City of Panama Is
Satisfactory.

Panama, Jan. 1.-The situation on
this side of the isthmus is quiet and
satisfactory to the naval authorities.
Reports from Darien up to last night
do not give any evidence of Colombian
activity or the presence of Colombians
in Panamanian territory.
Persons best informed concerning
the military situation along the Darien
frontier do not expect any Colombian
aggression for the present.
This opinion prevails, notwithstand-
ing reports of concentration of CO.
lombian troops at Barranquilla, and
the fact that Colombia is doubtless
moving troops towards the Atrato
river.
The disturbed internal conditions of
Colombia are thought to give a suffi-
cient reason for these movements of
Colombian troops, but the naval au-
thorities are i'm no wise renting their
activity or preparedness.

THREE DIE IN FIRE
FOUR OTHERS INJURED IN A CHI
CAGO HOTEL
GUESTS PANIC : STRICKEN.
MEMORY OF THE THEATER HOR-
ROR FRESH IN THEIR MINDS.

Guests Had Nearly All Retired for
the Night When the Alarm Was
Given-They Rushed for the Exits.
Dense Smoke Concealed the Way.
HerOism of IA Woman Saved Three
Lives-HOVv Rescues Were Made.
Chicago. Jan. Three persons were
killed and four others injured in a fire
tonight that destroyed the Louvre
Hotel, 3611-3623 Lake avenue.
The dead:
Patrick Ryan, retired merchant.
Mrs. Florence Chaplin.
Bissen Chaplin, II years, son of Mrs.
Chaplin.
All had been overcome by smoke, and
had not been touched by the flames.
Nearly 100 guests were in the hotel
at the time the fire broke out several
of whom had retired for the night.
With the remembrance of the Iroquois
Theater horror fresh in their minds,
every one in the place became panic
stricken and rushed madly for the
streets as soon as it became known
that the hotel was on fire.
When the fire was discovered most
of the guests were in their apartments,
and all hurried to escape, but in the
upper story of the building the smoke
was so thick that they had great diff
ficulty in finding exits.
Several persons were rescued from
the second-story, through the efforts
of three of the guests of the hotel.
These three men raised a plank to a
window, and breaking in the glass, held
it so several women and men could
slide down it. Many were enabled to
escape in this way, as the stairs and
passage ways to the bottom floor had
become congested in the rush for safe
ty.
A boy about Is years old was taken
from the building almost Suffocated.
He died a few minutes after being
taken out.
But for the heroic efforts of Miss
Mary Corbett, an employee of the hotel
the three children Of Mrs. F. o.
Schaeffer one of the guests, would I'M
doubtedly have lost their lives. Ty-
ing a cloth about her head, Miss Cor
bett rushed into the burning building
picked up two of the children and car
ried them to the street. The other
child was led from the place by a
man who heard Miss Corbett's call
for assistance.
The loss is $40 900,

LOOKING FOR A NEGRO
GUILTY OF ASSAULT.
DiabOIicaI Crime Was Committed by
the Man at Weston.


the Man at Weston.
Americas, Ga. Jan. 1.-Officers are
searching Americas tonight for lobe
Thornton. a negro charged with having
beaten into insensibility and criminal
ly assaulted Miss Dismukes, an esti-
mable young lady, residing at Wes-
ton, village in Webster county.
Thornton concealed himself in Miss
Disn}ukes' residence during her abb
sence from home, patiently waiting her
return. When the young lady entered
and closed the front door behind her,
the negro sprang like a tiger upon his
victim, accomplishing his purpose after
beating her into insensibility. The
brute then ransacked the house and
quietly departed with his plumber.
When Miss Dismukes was restored
to consciousness she called for assIs-
lance, and parties of man-hunters went
after Thornton, whom the lady recog-
nized as her assailant. He is hiding
near Americas, where he has rela-
tives.
The crime is one of the most dia-
bolical ever committed in Southwestern
Georgia.

Tells Germany no War.

Berlin, Jan. 1.-The German govern

reply to Japan is not provocative and
that it is sincerely intended to satisfy
Japan. The aroused state of Japanese
public opinion is fully recognized here,
but Chancellor Won Buelow and the
Foreign Office do not believe that war
is within the probabilities, and this
view, the Associated Press learns, has
been communicated to the representa-
tives of the Powers in Berlin.
Russia's reply, it is unofficially an
nounced, was sent to Japan yesterday.
