TO AMEND BUILDING
CODE TO SUIT THEATER

The council committee on streets
agreed, Monday. 20 have the council
amend the building code SO that the
Washington Theater Co.,. may con-
struct a drop" fire escape on the
Clinford-st. side of It's new theater, In
stead OF making the landing station
airy on the sidewalk
Attorney John ID. MacKay, repre-
senting the company, asked the com
mittee to permit the company TO use
tie drop escape. Secretary Luddy,
OF the building commission. said Ii
was In violation of the coue, and Mac
Kay informed the committee that the
commission refused TO issue a per-
NIT for the building unless the FIRE
escape were In accordance with the
code. The committee told MacKay to
obtain the permit, representing that
the escape would be made In COM
pliance with the code and then, be-
fore the escape Is actually built, the
code Will be amended to permit the
drop. type OF escape To be substi-
tuted.
The drop" escape is that type
where the lower ladder is held in sus-
ponse above the sidewalk. The sta
tionary escape is specified in the code
fer theater buildings because 1t Is
considered safer MacKay said the
only reason the company did not wish
IN build stationary landing was be-
cause II takes too much room OF the
public sidewalk and the stationary es-
cape would serve as an obstruction.

jury on the charge Of numbering
Sophia Singer. Baltimore heirees.
They were bound over to the grand
Jury without bail. Immediately after
the finding OF the jury.
Conway, circus clown and high
diver told the coroner's Jury how he
killed the Baltimore heiress.
The details OF the crime as he re-
lated them TO the jury were substan-
TALLY the same as told Police Captain
Nootbar when he made his confession
Saturday. He said that he came to
Chicago at the request of his wife,
Beatrice RyallConway, who was liv-
ing at the same address as Mas
Singer. His wife was Ill when he ar
rived, he said. and Miss Singer met
him at the door.
When he finished the recital OF his
striking Miss Singer on the head
when she attacked him with razor,
and binding her. Conway said:

r. K. Takes Final
Whack at Bosses

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Nov. 4.---Be-
cause he said that he had learned
that Abe Gruber, the New York law
yer and Republican district leader.
had publicly advised his followers to
vote the Democratic ticket IF they
didn't feel line voting the Repubii-
can ticket, Colonel Roosevelt issued
a lengthy statement today holding
that this indicated an alliance be-
tween the two old parties to defeat
the Progressiyes.
MIR. Gruber's attitude" said Roose-
welt, merely illustrates anew what
has been shown by the conduct OF
Messrs. Penrose, Barnes and Crane
and the other Republican bosses in
New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas.
California and oregon, that they have
not the slightest expectation of win
Ming this election and that their one
purpose Is indirectly to aid the Demo
Gratis In order that the Progressives
ma be beaten.
The fnanciers and bosses OF this
type are really non-partisan in their
feelings. II they canpot keep their
own party under their control, and
at the same time In control In the
nation, then the next best thing Is TO
put the Democratic bosses in control
of the nation"
Roosevelt spoke this afternoon In
Mineola, the county seat Of his home
county, and tonight will speak with
Bourke Cochrane at a wind-up meet
ing in this village.

We know that horses originated in

Europe by the Spaniards less than four
centuries ago. It was much the same
way with camels, which 5OO,O 900 years ago
were the most conspicuous and numerous
animals Of the Great Plains, browsing
in countless herds over vast areas des-
tined in later. times to be occupied by
the buffalo. The very early cameis, how
ever. were no bigger than cottontail rab-
bits; but, steadily gaining in size, the
largest species came greatly to exceed

in a small, sharp -hoof. But later on the
