IroquOis Theatre ProprietOrs admit
the Conditions.

Chicago Jan. 6-By their own evidence, given
to-day before Monroe Fulkerson. who is con-
Quoting the Fire Department investigation into
the Iroquois Theatre horror. the proprietors OF
the theatre showed that a worse condition of
affairs existed than had heretofore been thought
possible VIII J. Davis. Harry J. Powers and
Thomas J. Noonan active managers Of the Iro-
quois Theatre. examined by Mr.. Fuikerson
to-day All Of them pleaded ignorance OF any
precautions taken TO prevent loss of life by fire
at their theatre They admitted failure to IN
struct employees IN lighting fire and failure even
TO provide suitable appliances for use against
flames. Their statements were corroborated by
twenty employees of the theatre, none Of whom
had ever been told his duty in case OF fire.
Noonan who is the working manager OF the
theatre under direction OF Davis and Powers
admitted to-day that eleven Of the theatre exits
locked and bolted. Two of these exits
leading TO the front OF the theatre on the ground
floor We're locked, three additional exits on the
north side of the ground floor were bolted, three
exits on the north side from the first balcony
were bolted and three exits the north side
from the second balcony were bolted The great
est loss life from the fire was in the first and
second balconies, where hundreds OF people were
suffocated because unable 10 get out, or were
trampled to death while trying to do so. Had
these three exits in each balcony been available
according 10 Inspector Fulkerson the loss Of life
must have been greatly diminished.
Noonan declared that person had been
named by the theatre management TO superin-
tend the operation Of the ventilators of the the
atre in case of fire. and that. in consequence
the flames had been permitted TO sweep the
place instead Of seeking natural outlet through
the stage roof He said that George Dusen-
berry, the head usher; Archibald Bernard, chief
electrician. and the theatre engineer knew how
to operate the Ventilators.
It was proved by the evidence Of these men,
however that two of them never went on the
stage and that the other had never been told
assume charge of the yentilators in case of
fire Dusenberry declared that his duties
usher kept him in the front Of the house. The
engineer always below the stage attending
TO his engine and Bernard. the only of the
three knowing how 10 onerate the ventilatOrS
who was ever the stage during perform
ance testified that he had never been told TO
assume charge Of them.
From figures obtained by Noonan to-day. It
became evident that almost one in three of the
people who attended the matinee lost their lives,
the percentage being g tri1e 81 per cent.
The theatre seated 1.606 people. and in addition
10 these 236 had been admitted after all seats
We're sold. making total of $40 people In the
theatre, Of whom 591 were killed.

AGREE TO TECHNICAL ARREST.
John Doe" Proceedings in Union Con-
spiraoy Charge Begin Tomorrow.

To facilitate the John Doe inquiry by the Dis
trict Attorney tomorrow to whether the agree
ment between the Employing Stonecuttcrs' As
ISOLATION and the StoneCutters Union constitutes
conspiracy, technical arrest of member OF the
union is TO be made. This was agreed to yesterday
between Assistant District Attorney Rand and
Victor j. Bowling, counsel for the union.
The charges are that certain acts of members Of
the union are in restriction OF competition and
Mr. Rand takes the stand that charge OF con-
spiracy will hold. AS the law does not contemplate
that union as body can be held for such offence
It was agreed TO have the technical arrests made
In the mean time the officers of the union were
served with summonses to attend the investigation
The wilking delegates made the following general
statement.
As a union we can decide TO work for whom we
please, and can make such agreements with our
employers as We choose and which consider to
our advantage. II Is ridiculous to say that no ooe
can go into the business but members of the n G
ISOLATION. Any one here and start
