SKYLIGHTS ARE NAILED SHUT Chief Usher Charged With Man slaughter for Having Cloted The Doort and Trying to Keep Crowd From Getting Out of Burning Building. Chicago, Jan. 4. Commissioner Wil liams tonight tsKued an ordur closing all public halls, dance halls and turn-.. veran halls and all similar place of public assemblage, until an Inspection has shown that they are complying with all the provisions of the building ordinances. As there are more than E0O0 hills In Chicago this order will af fect probably as many persons as the theater closing order.- Protests were numerous but the building commission er wai Inflexible. The sole exemption la In favor of private lodge halls; which do not fall in the scope of the order. This after noon attorneys for the fire department secured from five witnesses corrob oration of the charges that the wreck ing crew of the George A. Fuller Con struction Company employes had des troyed the stage skylight the day af ter, the disaster. Fire Inspector Fulker on said today: "It was the Intention that these sky lights should tpm automatically to al low the escape of heat and smoke and buck the rush of spectators and later helped to save SO women from being Jammed in the exits. He Is held to furnish evidence on statements made by many people in the theater that the ushers closed doors and they at first refused to allow oeople to pass out. Benjamin Solomon, a boy" who rented orera gtasses !n the upper balcony, de clared today that all ushers and at taches closed the dimrs and shouted to the spectators to remain seated, as there was no danger. An enormous crowd attended the city council meeting tonight. It being ex pected that a number of ordinance rel ative to the Iroquois theater lire would he acted upon. Their expectation Wis amply fulfilled and he could do little other business than to listen to the reading of proposed laws calculated to Insure greater safety In places of pub lic assembly. PRESIDENT TELLS OF PANAMA (Continued from page 1.) was lost, save that of the man killed by the shells of the Colombian gun boat, and no property destroyed was due to the action which I have des cribed. We, In effect, policed the Is thmus in the interests of its inhablt- jants and of our own national leeds and for the good of the entire civilized world. Failure to act as the adminis tration acted would have meant great waste of life, great suffering, great des truction to property; all of which was (avoided by the firmness and prudence with which Commander Hubbard car ried out his orders and prevented either party from attacking the other. The action was for the peace both of Colombia and of Panama. It It earn estly to be hoped there will be no un wise conduct on our part which may encourage Colombia to embark on a war which cannot result In her re- . .

But from j gufferig Information I have I am positive that j opening the skylights was Imrlbto,,,,, hftVe een mll(,e of because beneath each' section of lights complicity by this government In the government had any part In prepar ing, Inciting or encouraging the lute revolution on the Is'hmus of Panama, ind that, save from the report of our military and naval officers, given above no one connected with this government had any previous .Vjiowledge of th revolution except such as was acces sible to any person of onl'..i;t!-y In telligence who rend the newspapers and keep up a current aciiualntence with public affairs. "fly the unanimous action of lis peo ple, without the firing of a shot with a unanimity hardly before recorded In any simitar case the people of Pana ma declared for an Independent repub lic. Their recognition by this govern ment was based upon a state of farts in no way dependent for Ita Justifica tion tiHin our action In ordinary cases. I have not dented, nor do I wish to de ny, either the validity or the propriety or tne genenil rule that a new state should not be recognised as Independ ent until It has shown Its ability to maintain Independence. This rule Is derived from the principle of non-intervention and as a collary of that principle hus generally been observed by the United Stato. Hut. like the principle from which It Is deducted, the rule is subject to exceptions, and there are. In my opinion, clear and Im lerttlve reasons why a departure from It was Justified artd even required In the present Instance, These reason embrace, first, our treaty rights; sec ond, our natural Interests and safety; and, third, the interests of collective civilization. Referring to the treaty of 1848, "by the 35th article of ahlch the United States secured, the right to a free and open transit across the Isthmus of Panama, Hiid to that end agreed to guarantee to New Granada her rights of sovereignty and property over that therrltory," the president says: "This article Is sometimes discussed as If the latter guarantee constituted Its sole object and bound the United States to protect the sovereignty of New Granada against domestic revo lution. Nothing, however, could be more erroneous than this supposition The attack against which, the United States engaged to protect New Oranndlan sovereignty were those of foreign powers; but this engagement had been placed pieces of scantling j revolutonarjr movement ,n Panama. which remained there until removeo.Dy ;They are M uw,tUute of foundatlon aa tne employes oi me u..er v,".- of propriety.

To the mHiunpllsh ment of thla object the governuient of th United Htatea htia for year di rected Ua diplomacy." The president anv that lung before the conclusion of th llay-lterrttn treaty the courii tifWent hud thown that a canal mut Inillt by the Culled Stales, or not ut nil. Never thelews, when the wcll-couldoiid agreement w rejeclttl h,v Colombia and the revolution had ensued, on of Oolombla'a first act ha been lo Invoke the Intervention of the Pull"! Hlnte "It was," continue, th president 'under lhe rlrcumstaocM 'lhat the United Htalea. Instead of using It for ce to destroy thoa who nought to make th engagement of the treaty tt reality, recogulaed them aa th prop er custodian of the loverolgnty of the lathmua. Thla recognition wa further Just I fled by the highest consideration of our national Interests In safety. In all th range of our, International re lallon. I do not hltut to affirm that there la nothing of grtattr "or more pressing Importance than th con- trttct'on of an tnteroceauto canal. !ong acknowledged to bt essential to our commercial development, It ha become, aa a result of the recent ex tension of our territorial i dominion. mor than aver eentlal to our nation al self deftit. "Th establishment of easy and speedy communication by ea between the Atlantic and Pacific presents Itself not simply as something to be desired but aa an object to b positively and promptly attained. Reason of con vtnlenc hava been superceded by rert on of vital necesalty which do not admit of Indefinite delays." Th president then cite th fact lhat tht Punama canal committee of the Colombian aenat had, on October 11 last, recommended that th discussion of a law to authorlt the government to enter upon new negotiation b In definitely postponed, that the subject be deferred until Or tuber, lt. Ily that time, the commute urged, th extension of tint granted to th new Panama company by treaty In IditH would hav expired and the new con greji to meet In October, 1WM. Uy be In position to take up the question whether th company had ma, In spite of further extension that hud been granted by legislative acts, forfeited Us property mid right. ' 'When that time arrlvea,' " th re port significantly declares." says the president, ''the republic, without any Impediment, will be able to contract and will be In mor ileur. more dfinlte and more advantageous ' ihimshssIoii, bot!i leg'illly and materially.'" "The construction of the canal," the president says, "was to be relegated lo the Indefinite future, while Colom bia was. by reason of her own delay, to be placed In the 'more advantag eous' position of claiming not merely by coniennt!on to be paid by the United Ktalcs for th privilege of com pleting the canal, but also the H0. 000,000 authorized by the act of l02 to ob paid for the property of the new Panama camil company. That the at tempt to carry out this scheme would have brought Colombia Into conflict with the government of France cannot be doubted; nor could the United States have counted upon immunity from t heuquoscneea 1 H"cn h.d. yet aol n from the consequences of the attack, even apart from the Indefinite delay to which the construction of the ennui was to be subjected. On the first op peurame of danger to Colombia this government would have been summon ed to Interpose, In order to give effect to the guarantees of the treaty of JK48; and nil this In support of a plan which, characterizes In Ita first stage by the wanton disregard of oyr own highest Interests, was fitly to end In further Injury to citizens of n friendly nation, whose enormous losses In their gener ous efforts to pierce the Isthmus have become a matter of history. "I confidently .maintain that the reo ognltlon of the republic of Pnnama was un act Justified by the Interests of col lective civilization, if ever a govern ment could be said to have received a mandate from clvllazatlon to effect on object the accomplishment of which was demanded In the Interests of man kind, the United States holds that po sltlon with regard to the Interoceanlc canal. Hlnce our purpose to build the canul was definitely announced, there havo come from all quarter assur- ranees of approval and encouragement, In which even Colombia herself at one time participated; and to general ns. surances were added apertne acts and declarations.
