April Term of the District Court to
Begin April a.

The April term of. the district court
will begin next Monday, April 4.
Judge Hazen has arranged large
docket of court cases which will be tried
first and will keep the court busy for a
month or more After that the jury
cases will be set. So far Judge Hazen
has avoided any reference to the fact
that the April term will not be supplied
with regular jury on account of the
failure on the part of the county clerk
to draw a jury. Special venires will
have to be drawn to serve on jury cases.
Judge Hazen has announced that the
gambling case will be tried during the
April term and a special venire will
have to be drawn for that case.

Money Was Used to Pay Personal
Property Tax.

Sheriff Lucas has been getting right
down to the bottom of things in COL
lecting personal property tax. In one

claimed to be unable to pay back taxes
Lucas levied on diamond ring and

personal property tax for 1908 but
about 81, 900, which is about 20 per cent
of the amount turned over to him for
collection. Lucas is not done yet and

In THE CHICAGO FIRE.
Santa Fe Engineer Griffith, of
Emporia, Has Experience.

Emporia, Kan, Jan. 4.-John Griffith.
Santa Fe engineer who lives at 327
Constitution street, is home from Chi
cago. Mr.. Griffith was in the Iroquois
theater when the disastrous fire broke
out there Wednesday afternoon, and he
escaped without injury. Mr. Griffith
says the holocaust is indescribable;
was terrible beyond words to express,
and has not been exaggerated by the
reports sent out. He was an eye wit
ness of a great deal of the awful scenes
that followed the fire, and says he be-
lieVes he will never get them erased
from his memory. Mr.. Griffith said in
telling his story:
Il have slept hardly a wink since
the disaster in the opera house. Last
night coming home it was continually
in my ears. Coming out of Chicago all
one could hear about was the fire. peo-
pie weeping over the fate of relatives
and telling of the awful scenes.
Fortunately the company I was
with and myself were late to the the
alter, about half an hour. I attended
the Iroquois Tuesday afternoon and did
not care to go again Wednesday, but as
l was to leave that night consented to
60 We had tickets for some of the
front seats in the first balcony and had
nearly reached the seats when L heard
the cry of fire. 1 insisted that we start
for the door, but some of my company
wanted to wait and thought it was
nothing serious. 1 grabbed hold of
them and was in the lead all the way
out. I suppose about a hundred and
fifty people got out of the entrance be-
fore we did. Although we were COM
paratively among the firsE out, the jam
was dreadful. At one place in going to
the door through which we got out, we
had to pass through a narrow passage.
1 happened to get along the edge of
the stairway, and by keeping close
against the wall with my hands on the
baniSter dragged myself through the
crowd to the doorway, and the three
people I was with just hung onto me,
so we all got out safe
Mr.. Griffith, although an elderly man,
is of large physique and no doubt it is
greatly due to his strength that he
managed to get out. He said that if he
had had on an overcoat, he believes it
would have been almost impossible to
have pulled out as he did.
When asked about the people being
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-01-04

trampled, Mr.. Griffith said: "Of course
it was every one for himself, and it
would have been foolish for anyone to
have tried to get control of that STAN
pede of people. I saw but one woman
trampled to death, but it was more
than I cared to see. She was ahead Of
me and was within a step of the door
when she just threw up her arms and
falling cried, oh, I'm going to be kill
ed She was within reach of me, and
got my hand on her once and tried
to save her, but she seemed to have
lost all power to help herself and in
another minute she was being tram
pied under foot and it was impossible
1 might have carried her out, but in the
company I was with were two women
who deserved my attention. We all
got out safely and walked across the
street and watched the crowd Strug-
Cling for the doorway.
Il should judge it all happened in
about 20 minutes. 1t seemed almost TO
time until the police and firemen were on
the grounds and ropes were stretched
about the entrance to keep back the
crowd of onlOokerS in the street. The fire
did not reach We had gained the
passage before the gas explosion took
place and then where the flames swept
was around the corner from US. 1 saw
men coming from the door with their
boards singed to a crisp. some with their
faces scorched and parts of their clothes
torn and burned off. But the most aw-
full cries of the women and children who
were being trampled and crushed. Be-
yond a doubt, if we had been in seats,
we would never have gotten out of the
late and were not yet seated when we
heard the first cry of fire"

LABOR TAKES UP FIRE.
Chicago Unions Will Investigate
IrOquois Disaster.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-C1aiming that an at
tempt Is being made to make organized
labor the scapegoat for the Iroquois
theater horror. the Chicago Federation
of Labor has voted to investigate the
causes for the fire through a special
committee composed of representatives
of the unions concerned in the destruc-
ton of the building. Delegates de-
manded that the committee make an en-
tirely independent examination and re-
port to the federation rather than to the
mayor.
Pastors of many Chicago churches in
their sermons have turned their atten-
ton to the Iroquois fire. They dis
cussed the effects of the disaster on the
community, the measures which should
be taken for Furnishing the guilty and the
precautions necessary to prevent repe-
tition of the catastrophe. Attention was
called to the official neglect and spirit
of lawlessness that permits statutes to
be ignored until the innocent are made
to suffer

According to the records in the city

number of deaths GA. But this is from
the city physicians records, and is not
supposed to be accurate. The city
physician has records of so deaths from

PANIC IN CHURCH.
Chicago Funeral Party Rushes for
Street at Cry of Fire

Chicago, Jan. A serious panic &C.
CURED Sunday afternoon at the funeral
of Miss Carrie Sayres, one of the vic
Tins OF the fire. The services were in
progress in the South Chicago Congreg-
ational church at Seventy seventh
street and Saginaw avenue, in the sub
urb of South Chicago, and the building
of the girl. A fire broke out three doors
from the church and the first intima-
ton of the fire was conveyed to the
people in the church by cry of Fire"
in the street.
Chicago gatherings are somewhat
nervous at this time on the subject of
fire and it needed but the one shout to
bring the people to their feet and many
of them started for the doors.
Policemen O'Keefe and Peterson, who
were stationed in the church. called out
to the people that there was no danger,
and urged them to resume their seats.
Their advice was not needed, however,;
the pallbearers went to the side of the
casket and stood in readiness to re-
move it, and the family of the dead girl
prepared to leave.
Suddenly a cloud of smoke came
through the open door and the sight
and smell maddened the people in an
instant. The two officers had barely
time to swing the doors open when the
rush carne. This was all that saved a
severe crush and probable loss of life
as the crowd plunged through the door
ways.
When the street was reached and it
was seen that there was no cause for
alarm the greater part of the people
returned to the church and the ser
vices were finished, although they We're
Ont shorter than it was at first intend
ed. Nobody was injured in the panic.

A NEW CHAMPION.
Adolph Toepperwein Misses Only As
Out of 5000 Shots.

Houston, Tex, Jan. 4.-Texas has the
champion rifle shot of the country with
out doubt, both for accuracy and en-
durance. Adolph Toepperwein of San
Antonio, has just made a new record
which is intended to establish his su-
premacy in both the particulars named
Heretofore he has made a number of
records, sometimes rather mysteriously
and without witnesses, only to have
them discounted, so he took the precau-
ton to give out an invitation, and there
We're probably 200 spectators when his
new mark of 4,954 out of a possible 5000

| The targets used were blocks of wood
| IA by rs inches. The blocks were not
so satisfactory as the small compost
/ ton disks would have been, as these
either break or are so badly scratched
| by a bullet that there can be no mis-
| take about their having been hit. The
wooden blocks were in some instances
1 so badly weather beaten on one of their
1 faces that it was difficult to tell Wheth-
er they had been struck by the % bull
1 let, and in all such cases the referee
/ threw them out, accepting nothing eX-
fcept clear bullet marks. Some of the
blocks were bored entirely through
without being knocked out of their
