LESSON OF IRoQUoIs FIRE.
Delay in Criminal Prosecutions Dis
cussed by Lawyer.

CHICAGO, February S.-"A delay of
three years in an ordinary personal injury
action may be a grave injustice to a single
individual family, but an equal delay In
bringing TO trial the large number of cases,
civil and criminal arising from theater
fire which caused the loss of nearly GOO
lives and shocked the civilized world, sows
broadcast the seed of contempt for law and
gives notice to the world of the inefficiency
of our judicial system.
In these words Prof. Frederick c. Wood
ward OF the Northwestern University Law
School. writing in the February number of
the Illinois Law Review, which was issued
yesterday, sums up what may be termed
the legal lesson of the Iroquois fire.
The body of Prof. Woddwards article is
q detailed summary of the criminal pro-
ceedings which began with the arrest of
fourteen employees of the Iroquois Theater
the day after the fire, and have dragged on
through more than three years, with prac-
tically no results: but from this the writer
passes to a consideration of the causes OF
this delay and to the suggestion of RENE
dies in the legal procedure of the state
which he believes the Iroquois case proves
to be necessary.
Prof. Woodward's article is followed by
a paper by Attorney George A. Folansbee
IN which Mr.. Follansbee maintains that the
slowness of procedure is due not to defects
in the procedure of the courts. but to fail
ure on the part of the various plaintiffs to
prosecute their cases properly.

that her daughter gave on the witness
stand in New York The substance Of
the testimony was read to her over the
telephone.
She was said to be in serious condition
at her home in Brookline last night, suf-
fering from the shock Of the disclosures.
Mrs. Holman had hoped all along that
the reputation Of Stanford White, whom
she regarded as a benefactor to herself
and children. would not be attacked dur
ing the trial.
When Evelyn Nesbit ThaW was called
to the witness stand yesterday morning.
a newspaper having a direct wire from the
criminal courts building in New York
called Mrs. Holman on the telephone and
told her that her daughter was testifying.
Mrs. Holman asked that the testimony be
repeated to her as it came over the wire
from New York.
The mother showed LITTLE interest in her
daughters story of the dinner at the Cafe
all about that"
over the wire Mrs. Holman showed more
interest. During the story of the daugh-
ter's confession to Thaw in Paris Mrs
Holman frequently interrupted with ex-
she began to cry when the story of the
visit to Whites studio was told.

wire: Mrs. Holman has tainted; you

from New York last night to the effect that
Mrs c. J. Holman, mother of Evelyn Mes

city as a result of the testimony given in
the Thaw trial by her daughter is absolutely
denied Mr. Holman made the following
statement to the Associated Press:
you can say for Mrs. Holman that the
report is a malicious lie. She has not col
lapsed nor is she near that state. The re-
port is absolutely and willfully false.

The Jurors.

speaks of money-that s1O0Oo0 was needed
as first payment TO secure his services.
The Jurors
The jury is made up Of men who In an
pearance are distinctly representative OF the
better business element of the community
judged specifically, the time expended in
, their selection was well worth while Most
OF them are bald to a greater or less degree,
as befits people whose cares have been moro
for the desk or the salesroom than for con-
siderations of personal attractions They
are men of comfortable competency attain
ed by their own efforts, not likely TO be
overswayed by emotion nor yet deficient In
sentiment. There is a look OF grave deter
mination in every face. There is not a man
OF them that does not realize to the fullest
the responsibility resting upon him.
The Defendant
After the jury has filed in the spectators
turn as if by mechanism to watch the door
through which Thaw is to enter. He comes
head in air. looking straight forward, see
ing nothing. He Is far from being the pen
ciled hero of the penny press. His hair is
straight upon q not remarkably well-round-
ed head and at the back hangs in lank
strands. His forehead is sufficiently high,
the eyes set well back in the head looking
somewhat furtively from sharp angle be-
tween the eyebrow and the cheek bone.
The nose, were IT larger and stronger
would have something OF the roundness of
an American Indians, but 1t hattens toward
the point and droops in weak contour to-
ward an untirm upper lip; the chin does not
recede and yet is not strong. 1t is not an
impressive face His complexion does not
indicate strong vitality and his attire is
careless.
The Principal Witness.
Like a schoolgirl reciting her lesson Eve
Ign Thaw answered in a low but not mu-
steal voice the questions propounded to her
by her husbands lawyer. She was attired
with studied simplicity, the dark hat plac
ing in relief face devoid Of any striking
characteristic. 1t is such face as one
might see a hundred times when factory
opens it's doors at the close of days work.
She spoke, when questioned by her hus-
hands counsel, with a precision which was
almost literary in construction and which
had the effect of recitation rather than OF
spontaneous utterance. That this type of
womanhood should have daZZled man of
Stanford Whites attachments is one of the
most marvellous features of the entire case.
Girlish, almost childish, as she seemed.
there was nothing of the sensbility and
horror displayed-and this despite the weep
ing which came at the recital of the most
atrocious part of her narrative-which
might have been expected from woman
who was there facing her husband amid a
crowd oNspectators with the most humil-
iating confession that a wife can make.
Judged superficially-and it is, OF course.
impossible to say what self-control She
may have summoned to chill her feelings
in this supreme ordeal-she realized the
fearfulness of her condition less than her
husband realized it-less even than the
spectators realized 1t.

HOUSE OF LORDS DOOMED.
Significant Declaration Of British At
torney General.

LONDON. February s.-The attorney gen.
eral Sir John l.. Walton who presumably
spoke with the full knowledge of the lnten-
lions of the government, made an important
declaration in a speech at Leeds last night,
foreshadowing the government program for
q reform of the house of lords In the course
of his remarks the attorney general said
that the grim and serious work upon
which the liberals were entering would
mean a revolution and involve two or three
dissolutions."
He added that the house of lords was en-
tirely ''out of harmony with modern demo-
cratic institutions and must 60 The gov
eminent would endeavor to give effect to
the will of the people by bills, which the
peers would probably throw out. leading to
q combination of the crown and people to
defeat the aristocracy.
Attorney General Walton recognized that
the struggle would be prolonged and eXcit-
ing and would mean complete rearrange-
ment of the constitutional and political
forces.
