While the obstruction the fire-escapes is confined
generally to the of tenement house. it was
apparent that least 80 per cent of the East Side
tenement houses are fagrartly violating the law
The East Side fire escape is used primarily as
compact and accessible drying ground for laundry
smalls and airing yard for bed clothes and an
open air cupboard for spare clothing. In the same
Alen-st. block where the fire occurred outside the
rear of the house adjoining. scarecrows of drying
linen. stretched from ladder bar balcony rail-

across the rail, were seen yesterday.

ing possible attempts at hurried exit
In most cases the ladders had been left unen-

was told that Commissioner Sturgis on assuming
the office had called attention TO the fact that UNI

International Live Stock Exposition, Chicago
December 10th to sd.

In order to arrange for better facili-
ties in handling the large attendance
anticipated for this great annual event
and on account of the inability of the
builders to complete the magnificent
new amphi-theatre on time, it has been
found necessary to postpone the Ex-
position until the dates above men
toned. All of the events avertised will
be held on the days of the week CORE
spending to the dates arranged for the
previous week. All preparations are
being made to make the event one long
to be remembered. The change in the
date will bring it at a season of the
year when it will no doubt be more
convenient for larger number TO at
tend.
