grasping a bottle of beer with a cork
screw projecting from it, and warning
the men-'Sshi the police are here!'
Mr.. Lazarus testified he did not know

had not seen them until just at the

he had neither seen the woman nor
sold her any beer. Jimmy Fox, Board

denied that Regain had bottle of beer

outside the place. The judge found
Lazarus guilty and High Sheriff Brown

worthy of note that of the increase of a.

the elevated lines took practically the

seems to have reached the capacity of

hero of the wreck, was induced finally
to give his version of the relief work.
He said:
When the collision came we were all, Of

mine and Immediately got into my clothes
to see what was wrong. .,---y
I saw that medical assistance was the
first thing needed. There were two young
women in my car who offered their ser
vices and they worked unhesitatingly with
the injured. I really did not do much but
these other people did wonders. All the
people in the sleepers were bundled out to
makeroom for the injured from the wreck
We did not have much in the. way OF
medical appliances but tore up sheets for
banda ges. stopped wounds as well as we
could and made the injured comfortable
as possible.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-The action Of the
council last evening, making the
opening Of any of the theaters inside
of two weeks impossible, managers
of attractions now here have begun
arrangements for placing their COM
,panies elsewhere. The first to take
decided action was Henry w. Savage
sof the Yankee Consul organization.
He arrived from the east early in the
afternoon, called the company togeth-
Ter and Informed the members that
a week of rest would be taken here
at full salary, and that next Monday
to be decided on, three routes having
been offered. Jan. Is a two weeks
engagement in st. Louis will begin,
to be followed by a run in New Y ork.
The Studebaker will remain closed
until it can be ascertained what the
revised ordinance will require. It is
probable that the theater will not be
opened before the middle of Februa-
ry, if then.
The Ward and Vokes company at
the Great Northern will leave the city
to-day and will open in Toledo next
Thursday. The Bostonians,. to have
presented Robin Hood this week at
McVickers, are devoting their en-
forced leisure to rehearsing, and it is
understood that they probably will
play one or two overnight engage
ments in towns near Chicago the lat

sumo their tour next Monday.

the injured. aT4e had "a. part. efQsthe
CHAIR car and the berths in the sleep
er cleared, and to them the victims
were carried. The physician was
without instruments or medicine and
the only thing he could do was to
bind up wounds with bandages,
which he secured by tearing up sleep
err sheets and pillow cases. The pa
tients were given whisky to deaden
the pain.
The young doctor found fireman
who was injured in the leg. An ar
terry was ruptured, and he took 1T
up with a penknife and tied it with
a thread, probably preventing the
fireman from bleeding to death. He
performed innumerable acts of a like
nature before the arrival of the To-
peka physicians.
Who Was to Blame?
None of the trainmen seemed to
know who was to blame for the wreck.
The Ell Paso train left Topeka about
thirty minutes late, and the injured
conductor, as he lay in sleeper BERTH
said he had the right of way and the
cattle train had no excuse for being
on the main line.
He said that it should have waited
for the passenger train at Maple. Hill,
six miles west of Willard. The Ell Paso
train did not stop at Willard and was
where the wreck occurred there is, a
curve, and the engineers on the two
trains barely had time to set the air
brakes and jump before the crash
came. The, freight was an unusually
heavy train.
Warning Came Late.
Those on the passenger train had
little warning. The loud hiss of the
air brakes was followed almost in
stantly by the crushing sound of tel
escaping cars.
Soon. to the accomplishments of the
groans and shrieks Of the injured, the
survivors began to crawl out over the
wrecked seats. Many of those who
escaped serious injury, stunned and
unable for time to realize the sit
uation, stood around helpless while
others began using the tools at hand,
and. still others seized wooden levers
and pieces of scrap iron, in an effort
to break into the death trap.
Just before the car went to pieces
a mddle-aged German, who could not
doomed coach with his family, con-
under ten. They had a lot of miscel-
laneous baggage and could find no
place. Hardly minute before the
wreck the porter called to the German
to go forward to the smoker. A man
near by translated the request and the
German and his family started for
ward. A moment later the agonized
German, his face covered with blood
from q dozen wounds, broke out of the
car and began calling loudly for his
family. = "'' ,.:s-'. ..s,... ~ '..-~. D.

1t Is Alleged That They Tempered
With SkYIights After the Fire.

With Sl2yIights After the Fire.
Chicago. Jan. 6.-Four employees of
the Fuller Construction company
David Jones, a masonry foreman; An
gus Mckay, Otto Reusch andaJ John
Kingston, irOnWorkers, were arrested
yesterday, charged with having
broken the skylights on the theater
after the fire, in order to destroy pos
sible evidence. It developed after the
arrest of Jones and his men that the
skylights We're blocked by scantling
and tied with wire to prevent their
opening, and that neither Of them had
been opened since the theater was
built.
Jones made statement to the eff
feet that he took the three ironwcrk-
ers to the roof of the theater thru an
adjoining building. He said: IT re-
blocked the skylights. Then I found
the lights We're tied with wire inside
and broke two panes Of glass to get at
the wires to unite them: I finally got
the wires off and opened the lights
Jones was asked why he went to
that he had been told that the north
wall had cracked in the fire and he
went to see if it was true. He de-
clared he had loosened the 8skylights
because he feared that they might
fall thru and injure somebody on the
stage.
why did you take three ironwork-
ers with you to inspect a brick wal? o..
| asked Attorney Fulkerson Of the fire
department.
Jones was confused, but finally he
answered that the men went with him
thru curiosity. He admitted that the
ironworkers helped him open the
lights and worked with him about the
roof for half an hour.
| He denied that he had used any
tools in forcing open the skylights,
| but this statement was denied by
George Mueller, who, from an adj
joining building, witnessed the break
| ing open of the skylights. Mueller
| declared that the men carried and
made use of a crowbar and a ham
| mer.
Numerous witnesses who were in
| adjoining buildings overlooking the
theater testified that the skylights
were not open during the fire.
The police later booked Jones on
two charges, one Of malicious mischief
and one of destroying property with
out the owners consent.

Russian : Papers View.

st. Petersburg, Jan. "a dispatch
from Port Arthur says the Russo
Japanese crisis is commented on by
Viceroy Alexieff's organ, the Nova
Kraige, as follows:
No threats can make Russia abandon
her legitimate rights in Manchuria or in
Korea. The interests of Russia and Japan
can be reconciled without violating
Korea's sovereignty. The outcome of the
negotiations depends on the number Of
ironclads at Port Arthur and of troops in
Manchuria. Russia does not fear war,
but she does not desire it, and therefore
is seeking to render it impossible.
