SURPRISE IN IRoouoIs CASE.
Davis Attorneys to Attack Validity Of
CHICAGO Ordinance.

Danville, ILL.,, March 6.-Defense in
the trial of Will ]. Davis, charged with
a manslaughter. as result of the
Iroquois theater fire at Chicago, to-
day, made g. motion which strikes at
the very heart of the case. Defense
moved that the prosecution be re-
qrired, first of all, to introduce the
Chicago ordinance which it is claimed
Davis violated, as it is intended to
attack the validity of the ordinance,
the theory being that should the court
hold the ordinance invalid. there was
no law for Davis to violate, and the
charge against them would fall to
pieces. The court set Friday as the
time for hearing the argument.

DR.. rlpD DENIES CANDIDACY.
Says Positively He Has No Designs
Upon Fish commissionership.
Special to Times-Republican.

0pSCldl W
Geneva, March Cdr. C. H. Tidd,
when seen today about his reported
candidacy for appointment as fish
and game commissioner denied posi-
lively that he had ever asked for the
place or even given it so much thought
as to know that an appointment was
to be made.
There is positively no foundation
for the report that he not only is not
a candidate for the position, but that
he has not been consulted in the mat
ter by any one, and has not the least
idea how the rumor was started. And
certainly he would rot at this late day
make any such attempt, when others
and promised candidates have been in
the field for months, and probably have
their petitions before the governor
long ere this.
