The animal act had been completed
and a song and dance quartet had
the stage in front of the first drop
when the lions escaped as they were
about to be transferred from the steel
exhibition cage to their shipping box
Andree screamed. Turnquist grabbed
whip. cracked il loudly and shouted
at the lions while frightened actors
actresses and theatre attaches began
climbing stairways. Suddenly one Of
the lions walked into the wings and
peered at the quartette. The singing
ceased.
The singers started TO retreat into
the wings. Detective Peter Cahill,
who was in the audience saw th9
lion and shouted to the entertainers
to go on. One singer returned ana

into full view and all control Of the
audience was lost.

tinued to play. The first lion ambled
on the stage, then the second, and in
a minute several more of them were
elamboring into stage boxes and ou,
into the audience. Still the orchestra
kept playing, until several lions went
right down into the pit Then the
musicians fled under the stage.
Almost everybody in the audience
later had different version Of what
the animals did after they got among
the crowd, hut nearly all accounts
agree that they did not live up to
the dangerous name of the "xing cf
beasts" One Of the beasts caught up
with Mark McDermott, while he was
hurrying down an aisle, so he lay
down. The animal clawed him on the
head and his wound appeared to be
the most dangerous that any OF the
beasts inflicted. He was taken to a
hospital.
Tiremen Rescue Women.
The last of the audience to leave
the theater were several women found
eooped up in a second floor dressing
room. They signalled flremen from a
nearby engine house who carried
them down ladders to safety.
A throng had gathered outside
the theater when Alice emerged and
trotted slowly across the street.
Reaching the corner of Eighty-sixth
street and Third avenue, she calmly
sat down. A crowd began to shout
and ten policemen, with revolvcrs
drawn, came rushing across the
street from the theatcr toward her.
She turned and fled into an apart

Fatalities, personal injuries and loss
Of property call for a thorough in
vestigation Of the causes leading TO
building. This duty will fall first up
on the coroner. and in case the results
Of his inquiry should prove unsatis-
factory upon the city government.
The responsibility for the lives lost,
the injuries received by others and
the property loss sustained, must be
definitely fixed. The assertions. accu-
sations and demands of interested
parties cannot be accepted. They may
be sincere and true. or they may be
subterfuges to conceal the truth. The
responsibility exists, and 1t must be
located. 1t may not rest in one par
ticular place. 1t may be shared by
two or more persons.

The changes made in the building
were apparently the primary cause OF
the collapse. Previous 20 the making
OF these changes the building had
stood for nearly forty years without

condemned as a fire trap. If the
changes were the cause Of the collapse
the element of safety must have been

1t is well 20 stop "a moment today

where the complex society Of ours is
resolved back into It's fundamental
elements II was in such times, no
tably on the occasion Of the Peru
foods OF a year ago and the building
collapse Of Saturday that Mayor Goetz
showed that old German burgomaster
spirit-the feeling that he as the
chief officer of the city was respOn-
sible for his peoples lives and safety,
that they were his people and ne must
act FOR them.
It will be remembered i'm the time
Of the Peru disaster tina; It was Mayor
Goetz who directed the relief work.
who dispatched city officials from here
10 answer the call OF help from the
stricken city, who on his own initia-

formal authorization of council or
board sent carloads of food TO the

Again il was Mayor Goetz who in
sisted that the work of removing the
debris should be continued until it
was certain that there was no more
bodies Of men, alive or dead. left in
the ruins. IL was Mayor GOetz. again,
as one OF the last official acts of his
career. who appointed a committee to
investigate thoroughly into the causes
of the accident with a view of fixing
The responsibility.
Ii is frequently the case that
mayor of Il city feels only a formal
official relation with his people. In
times of disaster he would merely
press the buttons and let the city's
employees do their part Charley
Goetz did not take his responsibilities
50 lightly. When his people needed
him. he was there in his place per-
sOnally-not by proxy. 1t was the
nature of the man-of a man the city
hOnors as he passes into private life.

Thoughts on Art

As all can talk, even the dumb
Helen Keller-so all can express emo
ton in conscious forms. IN many ma
lures the emotion is so feeble that the
expression is worthless.
What is art? Tolstoi asks and pro-
ceeds TO answer his question in lumi-
nous words. Art is the mimicry OF
acts useful for self-preservation.
Science is concerned with general
ties; art with special cases. Gravita-
ton and evolution apply 10 all phe-
nomena; JOY and sorrow apply to those
who are most sensitive. The animals
are dumb,-so in effect are most men.
The expressions in art that are the
most moving come from those who
have conquered their pain, hidden
their JOY. The sight of one actually
suffering arouses sympathy or disgust.

ALMOST 4 MIRACLE.

The really astonishing part OF the
collapse OF the Shively- Horne building
is that so few lives were lost and so
few persons were injured. 1t seemed
incredible that the front of a double
building could fail out on Michigan
st. without crushing a dozen or more
people, or that the building could col
lapse without carrying down more
than dozen persons.
The prediction that from ten to
twenty-five people would be found in
the wreck seemed entirely reasonable
until investigation showed that the
number was much less. Hundreds OF
shoppers were on the street IN the
vicinity of the building. Saturday aft
ernon the chop suey house on the
second floor was usually busy with
ployes of the five and ten cent store
were at work in the building arrang-
ing goods during the afternOno, but
had been recalled before the crash
came Two employees of the Heller
furniture store had barely left the
third floor when it fell.
These are the fortunate features of
the catastrophe and they are well
worth considering in compensation
for the more unhappy results. Under
ordinary circumstances il is not un-
reasonable 10 believe that a score or
more people would have been killed
or injured. Had the building held to-
gether until occupied by the five and
ten cent store with its fifty or more
girl employees and its crush of custom
ers on Saturday afternoons the conse-
quences would have been too dreadful
to contemplate.
From this point OF view the coll
lapse occurred at a favorable moment.
Ii was almost miraculous that the list
of dead and injured was not quad
rupled.

PROBLEMS OF LABOR.

Mediator DensmOre failed in his eff
forts TO settle the conflict between the
striking miners of the Calumet dis
trict and the mine managers. 1t has
come 60 a question Of the domination
of the district. whether it will be un-
ionized or open.
The mine managers would listen 10
no proposition that involved the UNI
ionizing OF the district. The officials
of the Western Federation of Miners
would entertain no proposition which
did not include recognition of the UNI
ion.
The mine managers profess TO be-
lieve that If permitted 10 hold a secret
ballot the men would vote TO return to
work. union or no union The feder-
alton officials profess To believe that
the men would do no such thing. At
least the officials refuse To permit a
secret vote 10 be taken

Mediator Densmore tackled the CaIu-
met situation with unbounded conf
dence in his ability To bring the con
tending parties together He quickly
discovered that he was mistaken. The
trouble was too deepseated to yield TO
his means OF adjustment. which had
been successful elsewhere
The situation at Calumet may not
be peculiar In its bearing on the ques-
tion OF unionism. More likely it may
present an instance Of more than usu-
al stubborn resistance To the encroach-
ment of labor organization
order is heavens first law. but it
yields frequently TO the first law of
nature, which is representation.
Each faction IN the Calumet fight
doubtless believes it is justified in
taking the stand which defeated the
friendly offices Of the mediator. The
question with the public the innocent
bystander and sufferer, is which is
right. is either right or are both part
~ in the right
The truth can DE determined only
by fair investigation OF the individ-
ual rights OF labor organizations and
employers. and this the suffering
public Is entitled 90 and the opposing
factions need. II should be deter
mined how far a labor organization
may dictate the policy and manage
ment OF a business by which its mem
bers are employed and how far en-
ployers may carry prohibitions against
such organizations
One way or another these questions
must be settled some time. II the
problems OF employment and labor
can be solved amicably IL Will prevent
