.IROQUOIS FIRE TO
BECOME HISTORY
States Attorney John j. Healy Inti-
mates Cases Now Pending VIII
Not Be Prosecuted
Further

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 11.-State's Attor-
ney John j. Healy has not decided
whether to prosecute the Iroquois the
ater case any further or not.
He said yesterday that he would talk
the matter over with James T. Barbour,
the assistant states attorney, who de-
voted the most time to the case, and
other assistant states attorneys and
make up his mind within three or four
days.
Meantime the safety committee OF the
Iroquois Memorial association has de-
termined to go over the present build
ing ordinances carefully with the aid
of skilled counsel for the purpose OF
ascertaining whether they do not con-
tain loopholes which will enable the es-
cape of any one responsible for another
theater fire.
The charge of manslaughter against
Major Will j. Davis having failed on
account of the defective character of
the building ordinances, 1t Is thought
possible the state may endeavor to OBJ
tain conviction on common law counts
on the charge of fnanslaughter.
A year ago Judge Marcus Keva-
nagh held that the common law
counts for manslaughter were not good,
but there was feeling in the states
attorneys office at that time that they
could be made good.

NEW YORK, March IL. - Many
handsome gowns made by the reigning
modistes of Paris were draped over
lay figures at the Hoffman house yes

ton of the Dressmakers' Protective as
sociation, which opened today.
Mrs. Elizabeth c. White, the associa-
tion's president, who has just returned
from abroad, spoke of the gowns she
had observed while across the ocean.
Il learned much during my five
weeks stay" she said. zone thing, all
sleeves are Japanese. That is to say,
they are loose at the end and nearly
distinguished from the bodice.
1T is hard to tell where sleeve
begins. Another thing 1 noticed is that
the French women no longer wear
wells. Only while automobiling and
driving are they worn. 1 inquired the
reason for this and was told that wells
are bad for the eyes and skin.
Another thing of Importance is the
vogue of checks and stripes, especially
stripes. They are being worn in all
sorts of material, cloth and silks. Jap
anese embroidery is employed in the
decoration of the gowns that initiate
the Japanese in the matter of sleeves.
"There is a piece of news in but
tons. Brass buttons, large and small,
are having a rage on all sorts of ma
terials. I also found a new hat, the
Louis XVI, which is a huge sort of
mushroom set back on the head. 1t has
many aigrettes in it and will look like
spiders and the fifty legs. There are
nine tailor-made dresses to one fancy
dress.

Walk on All Fours and Fat Disap-
pears-Woman Sees Her Toes
for the First Time in

Special to The Herald

Special to The Herald
ANSONIA, Conn, March 11.-Many
persons, women and men, who suffer
from indigestion or other intestinal
ailments are being treated by the
observation-disclosures cure" Those who
read their Bible know that Nebuchad-
| nezzar, who was a very bad man, was
| condemned to go on all fours and eat
grass. The cure named after the
wicked king does not compel the pa
tient to eat grass, of course. Any of
the breakfast foods that come out of
Michigan will do. But the patient,
woman or man, must go on all fourS
for certain fixed time each day. If
the patient is a weak woman a quad
rupedal tour of large room once
day suffices; If he is a comparatively
strong man half a dozen circuits of
the room on all fours are enough
The position the cure demands is
neither graceful for a woman nor dig
nified for a man, but the results are
very beneficial. The theory back of the
cure, its rationale, is that in the course
of his evolution man was a quadruped
before he was a biped, and that GER
tain ills were acquired when he began
to walk erect. So if he reverts to the
mode of progression of his remote an
cestors he cures the ailments brought
into existence by his change of posi-
tion. The advocates of the Nebuchad-
nezzar cure say that the ourangs,
chimpanzees and gorillas do not know
what indigestion is.
The cure is fine for obesity, too.
There is the case Of Mrs. X. She
has long suffered from what she called
"embonpoint" The fact is that the
only mode of livelihood left open to
her was to become a fat woman in
a dime museum. Four months ago
Mrs x adopted the "Nebuchadnez-
zar cure" She found 1t difficult at
first, for such was her girth she could
get only the tips of her fingers on the
carpet. Mrs. KS joyous shouts

mornings papers most unfortunate in
effects upon my efforts to secure exclu-

message to the assembly this morning:
''It seems from the foregoing mes
sage that 1t would be very important
that no action be taken at this time
which will prevent our government
from entering into friendly relations
with the Japanese government tending
to the exclusion of laborers from that
country.
''I hope that the assembly will give
this matter careful consideration, that
no mistake at this time be made"
