NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
The THEATER DISASTER
Chicago's Fire Chief Says He Is
Not to Blame for made
quate Protection.
MORE HALLS ARE CLOSED

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Fire Chief Musham
to-day disclaimed responsibility for ccndi-
tions at the Iroquois Theater in his testi-
mony before a coroner's jury. which is
holding an inquest over the bodies of the
51 victims Of the Iroquois Theater fire of
Dec. 30.
Chief Musham declared that. in his opin-
ion. it was the duty Of the building com
missioner to report to him if the fire pro-
lection in the theater was inadequate. No
report had ever been made 10 him, and he
had taken no action in the matter. 1t had
never been the custom of the fire depart
ment to inspect theaters or public buildings
for fire protection unless a report had been
made from the office Of the building COM
missioner. Building Commissioned Williams
previously had testified that it was not the
business of his office to report on fire pro-
lection. but that it was a matter entirely
belonging to the fire department. Chief
Musham declared that there was nothing
he would not do to save lives. and that
IL he had in any way failed in his duty IL
was only because he had administered af-
fairs Of his department in the same man
ner as had prevailed since the fire DEPART
ment existed I'm Chicago.
Seventeen halls were closed to-day by or
der of City Building Commissioner VIII
liams- Noncompliance with city ordinances
was the reason assigned. Il want ii I'M
derstood also" said COMMISSIONS Williams,
that the building ordinance is TO be en-
forced to the last letter, so far as this de-
partment is able, with its small force. 10 en-
force IL. l believe that IL will practically
close up all Chicago to enforce the law,
but nevertheless we are going 10 do IT. Fac
tories. churches, schools. hospital and bust
ness establishments will all come under the
ban of the building law If the ordinance pro-
visions are insisted upon. Mayor Harrison
has known that as well as I, and has told
the council so. But the law is now being
enforced as fast as inspectors can discover
violations and such will be the rule from
