GRAND JURY IN. THE
|ROQUO|S CASE
REPORTS
Longest One Submitted
in Years.


Chicago, Feb. 23.-Censuring in Sc
we're terms official negligence which
led to the magnitude OF the Iroquo,s
fire disaster, the special grand jury
reported to Judge Cnytrans this after
noon and was discharged. Criticism
is bsaped upon Building Commissioner
Williams and his subordlnates. The
report is the longest submitted in
years and Is one Of the most outspok-
en- in language. 1t constitutes even
a more sweeping review OF the causes
and results of the fire than the verdict
of the coroner's jury.
The indictments against w. j. Davis,
Thos. J. Noonan, Jas. Cummings,
Building Commissioner Williams and
Inspector Edward Loughlin were re-
turned in court.
The report says: That in their in
cipiency the flames could easily have
been extinguished by the use of prop
er apparatus for so doing; that with
hooks as required by ordinance the
drapery might have been pulled to the
stage to prevent spread of the fire;
that the approximate cause of the
death of the 575 patrons of the thea
tre was the neglect to provide fire ap.
paratus as required by law.
VIII ]. Davis is directly charged
with such neglect, as is Thos. Noonan,
business manager and Jas. f. Cum.
mings. stage carpenter, each of whom
had actual knowledge of the condi-
tions Of the stage and the absence of
adequate fire protection.
In taking up the cases of the city
officials indicted, the report says:
THAT the city ordinances with re-
spect to inspection of such theatres
for the purpose of determining their
safety and whether they were equip
ped with the appliances required for
eXtinguishing fires were not complied
with, and that such inspection de-
volved primarily upon the commission
or of buildings. In the case OF the
Iroquois theatre he neither inspected
1t nor caused 1t to be inspected, al
though he had knowledge of it's open
ing and personally approved Its IL
cense after it had openec.
"To say nothing of the palpable
omissions of duty required of him in
any other respect his failure to make
such inspections is enough to justify
the indictment we have returned
against him for misfeasance or pal
pable omission of official duty"
Failure to indict Mayor Harrison
Fire Chief Musham, VIM. McMullen
and others is explained in the report.
1t is also stated that the grand jury
| investigated Harry j. Powers respon-
sibility and found his connection with
the theatre management was advisory
Two indictments with one count in
each charging involuntary manslaugh-
ter were returned against Noonan
Davis and Cummings. The persons
for whose deaths these men were de-
clared to be responsible are Mrs
Margaret Berry and Viva r. Jackson
In the indictment against Commits
sioner Williams are four counts charg-
ing omissions of duty. In the indict.
ment against Building Inspector
Loughlin is one count, also charging
omission of duty.

1t Is pleasure to testify to the gen-

Friends of Congressman Dick, re-
membering that there was a DISPOSE
tion upon the part of the people to
carry out the wishes of President Nc
Kinley after his death, started the
stories going that 1t was the wish of
Hanna that Dick should be his sue
cessor. Just when MIR. Hanna ex-
pressed himself along this line has
not heen made known. It surely was
not during the days of his semi-con-
sciousness before he died. Before he
reached that stage he did not expect to
die and would hardly be giving his
mantle to another. Not satisfied with
this, Mrs. Hanna was induced to write
o letter in favor of CheclIbook Charley.
The Republicans in the legislature who
are opposed u Dick, and there are
many of them, should get up a revolt
even If it led to Democrat being
chosen.

Bank Clearinps Again

The bank clearings in Youngstown,
Akron and Canton for the week end
ing last Thursday are just as inter-
esting as ever. The figures for
Youngstown are about the same as
they have been for weeks, although
they show tnaL there has been a per-
ceptible decrease from those of the
corresponding week last year. Airon's
clearings for the last week show an in
crease over the preceding week OF
about 100000 and place that city at
the head of the list of the three cities
Canton, which has boasted so much
of its large bank clearings shows a
drop for last week of more than $780,,
900 from the figures of the week pre-
ceding. It was remarked in these col
umns only a short time since when
the Canton Morning News was making
such a fuss about Canton bank clear
ings being so great that the time would
soon be here when Canton would not
feel proud Of its showing. The city
has its ups and downs as shown in the
figures representing the clearings OF
its banks. Last week Canton was
down.-Youngstown Vindicator.
Yes, Canton did take a slump last
week, yet for all that she was ahead Of
Youngstown.

Judge Vorhees.

The presiding judge of the circuit
court now in session in Canton is r.
NJ Vorhees, of Coshocton. HIS is just
closing his first tetrm and will be a
candidate to succeed himself. The in
dications are that he will have no op-
position, as he has during the five
years that he has been upon the circuit
bench attained the distinction o. being
one of the best jurists in the state.
Judge Vorhees is Democrat and a
good one. Upon the bench he is kind
ly. courteous and discerning, His de-
cisions stand the tests of the higher
courts as a rule. His ability is ad-
mitted everywhere. In Canton there
never was a more popular circuit Judge
The fifth judicial circuit is composed
of Is counties and is normally Dem
ocratic. although Judge McCarty car
ried it at the last election. With Mr.
Vorhees as the candidate the Democ-
racy will have no fears Of a repetition
of Republican success, as many attor-
neys of the opposition will give him
support

Not prominent Republican in the
city of Canton can be found who will
say good word for Dick. They are
all utterly ashamed that the party that
produced so many great men for the
United States senate has to come down
to the level of an ordinary political
trickster whose only means of politi-
cal life was the patronage that he has
been able to deal out for others. On
the quiet, but not for publication, the
Republicans of this city. judges, law
yers, business men, politicians, all un-
lite in denouncing the man who has
been slated to fill Hanna's shoes.

Many people who have watched the
career Of Cy Young, the famous ball
player who formerly pitched for Can
ton, have wondered how it comes that
he retains his youthfulness and effect
iveness while others who started into
the game with him have been laid upon
the shelf years ago. His good form
had been attributed to splitting rails
down in Tuscarawas county during the
winters, or his good habits. None of
these are the real reason. He was
born upon the 2Sth of February and has
a birthday only once in four years or
dinarily, and the last time 1t was 8
years between birthdays, so that Cy is
only about 9 years of age instead of As
