GRAND CONCERT NO PRECAUTIONS WERE USED BY THE MANAGERS OF THE IROQUOIS THEATER Their Testimony Goes to Show That They Were in No Way Prepared to Pro tect Loss of Life by Fire. Other Evidence Taken Proves That Ventilators Lacked Attention, That Exits Were and Bolted, That Two of Head Employes- ; Had Never Even Been on Stage, That Chaos Reigned When Services Were Needed. Ohkiigo, Jan. 6. By their own ev Sfecce given today before Monroe Fulk trson. Will J. Davis, Harry J- Power ad Thomas J. Noonan, active manag ers of the IrajajU theater, today ao kaowledd no precaution were taker, to prevent loss of life by Are at their tkeater. They admitted failure to in -strnrt employes in fighting fire, and failure even to provide suitable appli aiwca for uie against flames. Tlieir tatcments were rorrolwrated by the eiim.iy of 20 employes of the theater S one had ever been told what to do m case of fire. Noonan, working man ager of the theater, admitted thst 11 nils were locked and bolted. Noonun declared that no person had Vca nan-ed by the theater manage ment to superintend the operation of Tentitators In case of fire and In .onse HuerHe flames had been permitted to sweep the place Instead of seeking a ntfttral outlet through the stage door. It was said by Noonan that the head hsr, the chief electrician and the tfreafer engineer knew how to onerate ti,f ventilators. It Vas proved by the ericfence of these men, hovrcvei, that two of them never went upon the stage and the other had never been told to asmnne charge of the entilfitors in tw of fire. place end ordered drinks for all pres ent.

Richardson, secretary to the postmast er and general sTjperlnteiident of the San Francisco postoffii-e, was dismis sed yesterday by a telegraphic order from the postmaster general In Wash ington. He hurriedly put his accounts in order and left the poitofflce at five p. m., for his home in East Oakland, where he was today enjoying bis leis ure. The dismissal of Kisliardson In such an abrupt manner without a moment's notice, was a shock to he official who ha been employed in the Pan Francis co postofBce for many years as a trust ed man, in whose keeping were the secrets of the administration. It as tonish the employes ef the depart ment and was the one absorbing topic of conversation during the afternoon as the latest phase of the scandal over the contract for letter boxes In which Richardson appeared a Witness before the Inquisitors In Washington. Local postofflce official agreed that Richard son's dismissal was the result of these scandals. On January 1, Richardson tendered his reslgnalon to Postmaster Flak, to take effect at his pleasure. An there were some matters to be settled lefore the placing of the work in new hands, the postmaster retained Rich ardson temporarily. Then came the telegram from Washington yesterday Afternoon instructing Postmaster Flsk to dismiss the seereliiry forthwith. Richardson was onllcd into the private oince.and shown the dispatch and told that tie would have to leave at once. On this curt notice the official closed his career in the .jostal department.
