| CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-As result OF
| the Iroquois fire inquest, seventeen men
| are to be indicted, including high city
officials, and Managers Davis and Pow
ers. All may go to the penitentiary.
| CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Upon the man
agement and builders of the Iroquois
theater has been placed the response
! bility for the fire horror in q a report
rendered to Mayor Harrison by Fire
Chief Musham today. The report is
that prepared by Fire Department At
torney Monroe Fulkerson, after an ex-
animation of nearly one hundred wit
nesses in the days Immediately follow
| ing the fire. No criticism is made of
| the building department. although sew
en- violations of the building ordinance
| are noted.
Attorney Fulkerson concludes that
| the theater building was not completed
at the time it was opened; that the
theater employees did what they could to
put the fire out and that the doors and
| exits were generally locked throughout
! the building.
| The grounds cited by the report for
placing the responsibility upon the
| builders and management are similar
to the statements which have been pub
| lished.
| Harry Klawans, son Of wealthy res
taurant proprietor, is under arrest on
| charge of being in possession Of val
uables taken by some one from the
| body of Attorney William r. Reid of
Waukegan, ILL., who was burned with
his wife in the Iroquois theater fire.
Assistant Chief of Police Schuetler or
dered Klawans' arrest on information
furnished by Attorney Adolph
Schwartz.
A negotiable note for $1,000 bearing
the name of Mr.. Reid and given to
Mr.. Reid in payment of services as as
SCISSOR for Lake county, $66, gold
watch and an opal pin were missing
from the attorneys body when it was
identified by relatives.
Klawans asserts this $1,000 note was
given to him by a friend.
Attorney Schwartz did not approve
of the arrest. He said:
"Klawans gave me the note for 81 900
and said I should turn 1t into money
for him. He said a friend gave 1t to
him. When / learned Of the circum-
stances I would not be party to the
affair and decided to turn the note over
to the police. do not think, however,
that Klawans should have been arrest
ed as l believe his explanation is
true"

BLUFF WON GOTHAM
FOR JOHNSON LEAGUE
American Had No New York
Location When Agreement
Was Signed.

CINCINNATI Ohio, Jan. 23-The
American league will have to fight If 1t
violates the peace agreement by sched-
uling the New York Americans to play
Sunday games at Ridgewood Park in
the borough of Queens. 1t will not start
another war because 1t has few Of its
players signed, has exhausted its re-
serve fund and has three tottering
clubs In its circuit. If 1t were strong it
probably would not hesitate to break its
solemn pledge, as the organization
holds the worlds championship for vio-
lated agreements. 1t developed through
a confession by Ban Johnson to Garry
Hermann here Saturday that even the
peace pact was made possible through a
Misrepresentation by the American
league That body claimed at the
time to possess q park in the borough
of Manhattan, New York, but 1t de-
velops that he did not land on the
island until long after the agreement
was signed.
During the American league presi-
dents brief sojourn 1t was clearly
shown to him that Garry Hermann was
the one who made peace possible last
spring, when he gave the American
leagues pledge to the New York and
Brooklyn clubs that Manhattan Island
was lutCLQSu WhCH wow 4OIh was
noted in their circuit. Out of that reve-
lation came an interesting story that
now sees the light of print for the first
time. Ban Johnson made the releva-
tions. He said:
Nine days after the treaty of peace
was received at the Criterion our game
was up in New York Charley Somers
virtually threw up his hands. We were
blocked most effectually. was Ill at
Chicago at the time, and the news was
kept from me. I did not know of the
failure of our original plans at the time
the peace pact was up for approval here.
1t looked for a time as If we had been
blocked from Manhattan Island, aNI it
cost $4,000 to be relieved from the obIiga-
tions we assumed in OUT option on grounds
in the Bronx, when we finally secured
the Washington Heights tract
That's sport news, although 1t is over
a year old, and 1t was exploited after
the American league president had been
told of the Red chiefs herculean efforts
in the cause of peace, in which he pledged
the honor of the American league that
when New York was named they meant
New York as generally accepted The
entire matter will be thrashed over at
Chicago in February
Nobody in the American league has
challenged the sincerity Of Garry Herr
mann," said Ban Johnson, 'and nobody
ever will. We are willing to abide by
his decision in all matters, and at this
early day ] am willing to accord him
the American leagues support for an
other term as chairman of the national
commission"

SUSPECT is CAUGHT
Police Think They Have Muir.
derer of Miss Schafer.

BEDFORD, Ind, Jan. 23.-The police
and detectives, together with Mayor
Smith and Prosecutor Stephenson, are
of the belief that they have the mur-
derer Of Miss Sarah Shafer in a man
arrested at Crothersville. This mans
clothes are spotted with blood His
face bears numerous scratches and on
the back of his head are several wounds
inflicted with some frail instrument,
probably an umbrella.
In mis- pocket was a letter so old that
1t Is hardly legible, but on the back is
a picture resembling those published
of Miss Schafer. The man. who gives
his name as Fred Branham, was ar
rested after attempting to hold up a
SaloOnkeeper at CrOtherSville. He as
serts that his home is in Columbus, Ind
He says he has been at Indianapolis for
several years. He stated when arrest
ed that he was on his way to Louisville
to see his mother and that he had been
on the road from Indianapolis to Croth-
erSville for four weeks, during which
he has never left the Pennsylvania rail-
way tracks. He says he has not been
in Bedford for several years.
Miss Schafer was teacher of Latin
in the Bedford high school. Her body
was found in a carriage house. The
girl had been assaulted and robbed and
the body was badly mutilated. A few
red hairs found clutched in the hands
of the dead girl and believed to have
been torn from the mustache of her
murderer, formed the only clue.
Additional arrests were made today
and tonight, but all proved an alibi. De-
tectives have now confined their work
to search for the writer Of letter
addressed to Miss Schafer and receiv-
ed at the home of Mrs. A. V. Smith, Of
Bedford, today. The letter was mailed
from Chicago, with no address and Is
signed by a girl The writer expresses
regrets that "he'' had made ungentle
manly remarks in the presence of Miss
Schafer and that Miss Schafer "had
not the strength to hurl him down"
The letter, 1t is said, is concise and
pertinent, but at no time is the name of
the man mentioned. Every statement
indicates that Miss Schafer had previ-
ously written a letter to the Chicago
girl telling of perplexity. Coupled with
statement made by man regarding
a quarrel and hot words between a
strange man and woman, answering
the description of Miss Schafer, the
significant 1t is believed that the Chi
cago girl Is a common acquaintance Of
Miss Schafer and of the man.
The man arrested at CrotherSviile to-
night, it is discovered. had no connec-
ton with the murder.
ELKHART, Ind, Jan. 23-The body of
Miss Sarah c. Schafer arrived here this
evening. short time ago Mrs. Schafer
received a letter from her daughter tell

INDICT A SENATOR
Grand Jurors Get Mr.. Burton
of Kansas. s

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 23-The fed
eral grand jury today returned an in
dictment against Joseph Ralph Burton,
United States senator from Kansas,
charging him on nine counts with ac-
cepting five checks Of $500 each from
the Rialto Grain and Securities COM
pany between Nov. %, 1902, and March
26, 1903, while a>United States senator,
for his alleged services in interceding
with the postmaster general, ch1er
postoffice inspector and other high
postoffice officials, to induce them TO
render a favorable decision in matters
affecting the permission of the Rialto
company to use the mails. Maj. Hugh
c. Dennis, president of the company,
and w. B. Mehaney, associated with
him, are named in the indictment as
the men who made the check to Bur-
ton.
For several days past William E.
Cochran, chief postoffice inspector,
from Washington; Maj. Hugh c. Den
mis- and w. E. Mehaney have been be-
fore the grand jury, and 1t is believed
the indictment was found on their tes-
timony. The purpose of Senator Bur-
toms alleged intercession was, 1t is
stated. to prevent the issuance Of a
fraud OrQer against lHe fNidltO Oidiii
and Securities company.
AS a result of his connection with
the company, Dennis was indicted both
in the federal and state courts, but the
United States court acquitted him.
-Four indictments found in state courts
against Dennis are still pending
The Rialto Grain and Securities COM
pany has been under investigation by
the state courts for several months on
fr4, nd
complaint of investors. Indictments
have been found against the president,
Mai. Dennis, and others of the officers,
but they have never been convicted on
any of them At one time the Rialto
company's offices were closed by court
officials on attachments secured by al
legged creditors, but were reopened
after arrangements to satisfy the
claims had been made.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 29.-
Senator Burton said he could not i'm
agine why the indictment had been
found. He was employed as attorney
for Dennis, to defend him against an
Indictment which had been brought
against Dennis. The only connection
with the postoffice department was
when Dennis came here to consult with
him (Burton) as to the proceedings,
and the senator accompanied Dennis to
the postoffice department and asked IL
any charges had been fled against
Dennis. He further asked Inspector
Cochran to inform him (Burton) If
charges were filed against Dennis in
future Senator Burton said he spe-
cifically stated that he did not appear
against the government in any manner.
Senator Burton says he will go at once
to ST. Louis and defend the case, and
has no doubt that he will be able to
make 1t perfectly clear that there was
no reason for bringing the indictment.
