lows: ''The report having been circu-
lated that the Mormon church has used
its influence against organized labor
and had endeavored to fill the place of
strikers with non union men, we here
by emphatically deny that the church
over which we preside is taking any
such steps or has issued any dnstruc-
tions on this matter. The whole story
originated in false newspaper reports -
The charges referred to arose from
the reading at the regular tabernacle
services last Sunday of a notice by
President George Q. Cannon, of Salt
Leke, that men were wanted in the
Utah coal mines to fill the places of
strikers. President Cannon says the
notice was handed him by coal COM
pany official and was read with other
notices. IS is the custom. No question
of church influence, he says, was di-
rectly or indirectly connected with the
reading of the notice.

INSURANCE MEN WORRY.

San Francisco, Jan. An indica-
tion of the imminence of war in the
orient is shown by the refusal of Ger
man underwriters to insure vessels
bound to the far east.

c. Harrison. president of NJ. c. Har-
rison d Company, insurance brokers,
today, asking for quotations on a
cargo for the orient by the America
Maru, sailing on January 20 and have
just received an answer stating that
no insurance would be placed.
"A London cable quoted insurance on
the Nippon Maru which is to sail

go to Japan.
"On English or American vessels,
which means Occidental and Oriental
and Pacific Mail lines for immediate
sailing, to Japan alone, neutral cargos,

proprietors fthe Iroquois theater and
Building Commissioner Williams are
under arrest charged with man
slaughter. They have been released in
$4,000 bonds and their hearing is set
for January II. Warrants for their
arrest were sworn out by Arthur F..
Hull, who lost his wife and three chill
dren in the fire. Mr. Hull explained
that his action was not inspired by a
motive of vengeance but simply to
make certain that the owners of the
theater should rot escape any chance
of punishment that is 'rightfully theirs
and which the stage hands and elect
ricians and other employees were COM
PEELED to suffer.
1t is a noteworthy fact that Build
ing Commissioner Williams, who is
now charged with mansIaughter in
connection with the greatest fire hor-
ror the country has ever experienced
owes his appointment to a tragedy Of
a similar nature. but of much less eX
tent which occurred two years ago.
Williams predecessor was in office
until after the burning of St. Luke's
Sanitarium at Twentieth street and
Wabash avenue. This was the institu-
tiOn in which a score of men suffering
from delirium tremens were burned to
death while strapped to their beds.
Williams was selected with the idea
that he was the proper man to see that
no catastrophe could again happen.
Fire Inspector Munroe Fulkerson to :
night announced he had finally dis
covered the secret of the fire The
asbestos curtain upon which the safety
of the audience depended was, accord
ing to Fulkerson. blocked in the de-

open by Il stage hand. While one end
of the curtain got within five feet O.
the stage the other was suspended
twenty feet above it, and beneath it
swept the flood of flame that carried
death to so many hundreds.
At a meeting of the city council to-
day the city building ordinance was
amended to provide that there must be
a brick wall Of the same thickness as
the outside walls between The audience
and the stage and the main opening

of the wheat and barley goes through

of Mrs. Planchereeu had never been settled
and that the property WIS being managed
by persons who had no claims TO it. The
matter was referred to the Department of

TO TUNNEL THE DELAWARE.
Company Formed to Join Philadelphia and
Camden in This Way.


PHILADELPHIA. Sept. pa company
has been formed in this city to construct
a tunnel under the Delaware River between
Philadelphia and Camden. 1t Is proposed
to operate steam railway through the
tunnel, according to Clarence Wolf OF Wolf
Bros. Co. Mr.. Wolf Is president OF
the Intercity Link Railroad. the new cor
poration.
The company was incorporated in Cam
den this afte rnoon. Mr.. Wolf says that
the surveys have been filed and the road
marked in New Jersey. Application was
made at Harrisburg this afternoon for a
charter in this State.
4The splendid work Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad in New York first suggested to us
the advisability of connecting Philadelphia
and Camden by railroad under the Della
ware" Mr.. Wolf said this afternoon. Here
are two large cities, each, so to speak, the
entrance and exit gate OF its State, sepa-
rated by less than half mile OF water,
and now relying for communication on an
inadequate system Of slow and cumber-
some ferryboats, subject to accident and
liable to indefinite interruption in cold
weather. A railroad has none of these
disadvantages.
Mr.. Wolf said the work would be begun
as soon as possible.
