The D1rtiest People In the World.

Vne DIrtleBt People IN the World
With possible exceptions in the cases
Of Tibet and Lapland we are compelled
to admit that the English working
classes are probably the dirt1est BIZ
peds In the world, alike in their clothes
and in their persons, and that they
display themselves in public and even
travel by public conveyances in condi-
tons which would not be tolerated in
any other civilized country.
Nothing like English working class
dirt is ever seen in public on the con-
tinent of Europe unless in its far east
ern portions, and dirt is prejudicial to
health not only by its direct physical
operation, but, in q still greater de-
gree, by reason Of the absence Of self
respect which It entails and which re-
moves from the dirty man or woman
at least one safeguard against drunk
enness and against INSTRUMENTATION

Serious Blow to Restaurants

Chicago, Jan. 6.-The closing of the
theaters by iorder of the mayor is
causing a daily loss of thousands OF
dollars to the hotels and restaurant
keepers in the downtown districts. 1t
also has thrown great many restau.

many places it was stated that more
help will be laid off if the theaters
remained closed. Restaurants which
catered to the theater trade in the past
now find they are operating at a loss.
Even the streets seem deserted after

KEY TO GRAVE QUESTION.


States Attorney Dineen Making a
Close investigation of Theater
Chicago, Jan. 6-"Make every posst
BILE effort to ascertain the identity OF
some person who died in this corner. "
States Attorney Dineen made this
request of Coroner Traeger as they
stood at the end of the blind gallery
passage, where, before a locked exit,
more than so of the victims of the Iro.
quois were found. In this request, re.
peated at every point where bodies
were found, States Attorney Dineep
gave the key to one lof the gravest
questions that will confront the grand
jury in confning the criminal respon.
sibility for deaths. 1t will not be suf.
ficent for the purpose of a criminal
prosecution for the coroner to show
that the locked door was responsible
for 80 deaths, even If the responsible,
ity for the locked door is fixed.
In order to sustain a prosecution for
manslaughter it will be necessary for
the coroner to determine the identity
OF one or more of the individuals
whose death the door caused. It will
not be sufficient to show that the
three steps leading out Of the first
balcony to the main stairway caused
over a score Of persons to fall and
die. The identity of one or more OF
these persons must be proven in court
before charge of manslaughter can
be sustained.
Appropriating the technicalities OF
the law which demand minute proofs
the state attorney cautioned the cor
oner to make especial efforts to as
certain the identity of persons who
died at each of the exists.
