THE INVESTIGATION
OF lroquois Fire at Chicago Is Still
Interesting.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-Building Commits
witness, today. in the inquest over the
victims of the IroquOis theatre fire. He
testified that during the construction
of the building, he had visited it but
once, that time being about two weeks
prior to the opening Of the theatre,
Nov. c3. He had never looked at the
plans of the building except on one
occasion, when according to his own
statement, he saw the plan for perhaps
10 or Is seconds. He said he person.
ally knew nothing of the construction
of the building.
On the occasion when he visited the
theatre he considered the building to
be the most fireproof structure of it's
kind he ever had seen. He admitted
that he allowed the builders to place
pine joists in certain places beneath
the stage instead of steel supports as
called for by the building ordinances.
This was done in order to facilitate the
working of drop doors which were Il
necessity in the production Of Blue
beard"
When asked by the coroner who as
sumed the responsibility. he admitted
that he, as head of the department,
would be compelled to assume it.
Neither he nor any member of his
department so far as he knew, had
any knowledge as to whether auto
matte sprinklers had been placed in
the theatre or not.
Commissioner Williams being hard
pressed by the coroner as to why the
building inspectors had not performed
theid duties IN a more thorough manner.
replied that his office force was far too
small to do the work imposed upon it.
He had made repeated requests for addi-
tnnal help, but was informed that the
city could not afford to pay them.
Mr.. Williams declared that last Octo-
Der he reported to Mayor Harrison that
not one of the theatres in Chicago was
complying with the ordinances. The may
or turned over his report to the council.
which turned it over to a committee and
nothing was ever done.
In response to an inquiry as to whether
he did not know that the IroIuois theatre
failed to meet the requirement of the or
dinance in this respect. he said he knew
it now, but had not known 1T before the
fire.
Denuty Building Inspector Leon e.
StanhOpe followed Commissioner Williams
on the stand, but his evidence did not
differ greatly from that of the commls-
Soncr.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Stanhope S
evidence. an adjournment was taken I'M
til tomorrow morning.
