Chicago. HI., December SO. Two years
ago today tha Iroquola theatr waa de
stroyed by Tlr and nearly .'Me Uvea,
moatly women and children, were loat In
the holocaust Tha day la observed here
generally, and flags era at half mast
everywhere. Many of the churches held
apeclal memorial services thla morning,
and some ot tha Proteatant churehea
wlll hold special services this evening.
The graves ot tha hundreda of victims
of the dleaater In the varloua cemeteries
were decorated with wreaths and other
floral offerings. The gravea of tha un
identified vlctlma were also decorated.
The fire at thojlroquols. theatre wee

lost one or more of their members In the
catastrophe., Tha fire originated on the
stage of tha theatre during the matinee
performance of December I0.10. at a
time when every part of the house was
with tha umiaJ holiday crowds
of women snd children. The theatre
waa practically new, having been opened
only a few Weeka prevtoue to tha fire.

iad been running there since tha open
ing night. It la believed! that aparka
from one of the apotllghta stationed on
the aides of the stage Ignited aome of
.tha fiimav niecea of scenery In tha wings
and In a few momenta theblase apread
upwards toward the fllee. Some of the
actora and employee tried to ' beat out
the flamea hut did not succeed, and the
aignal waa given to drop the fireproof
curtain. Owing to the.fect that a rope,
with which the "aerlaf ballet" waa ma
nipulated, had been ao faatened mat it
obstructed the movementa of the cur
tain, tha latter could not be lowered for
aome time. When It waa finally released
the fire had made auch progress on the
stage that the employes became ' panic
stricken snd opened the large double
door tn the rear of the atage and lead
ing to the court behind -the theatre,
through which the ecenery waa brought
into and out of tha theatre. Tha terrlflo
draft caused the "fireproof" . curtain, a
thin and flimsy affair, to bulge out Into
the houae. and In a few mlnutea It tore
and fell, and immense volumej of smoke
and flames poured Into the auditorium.
At that time moat of the aeata In the
house avl been emptied by tha panlc-n
.aincsen ipwuwrii. naPuivy . w.i.
crowding through a few doors ss fast a
1 he v could. When the smoke and flamea
poured Into the auditorium, sweeping
the whole interior, hundreda "were over
come.. They fell in heapa right at tha
exlta. and were auffocated by the amoka
. and heat Those on top of the pile were
scorched beyond recognition. Tha situ
. atlon waa greatly aggravated by the fact
that the ushers, thtli&tng only of their
own aafety, had fled . for their Uvea,
without StODDinc lonar enough to unlock
and unbolt tha aafety exlta provided for
on every floor. The spectatora. finding
tha aafety exlta bolted and locked, were
compelled to maka their exit through the
main exlta on tha Randolph street side.
Why crowded around these exits dur
ing the Jam they were overpowered by
the smoke and flamea and perished.
Only a few escaped over tha fire ee-
nm. which thev reached from the Mi-
cony. .The fire, was soon under control.
At first it waa not thought that tha
loas of Uvea had been great, and tha full
extent of tha disaster waa not realised
.. until the firemen reached; the upper
floors of tha house, where they found
.'. the dead piled op' six or eight high, all
headed for tha exlta, and those on top
terribly burned. The scenes -which fol
lowed beraur description. '
The police department took charge of
the removal of tha hundreda of bodies,
and they were taken to the varloua
morgues ' and undertaking establish
ments, where they were laid In rows on
' the bare floors... to swalt identification.
Many of the bodies - were so terribly

and the city attorney Is preparing a no
tice of the council's Intention to makq
the Improvement. There haa been frj
quent - complaint - that tha business
blocks, tha laundry and many of the
mills and factories disposed ' of their
wsste water In an unsanitary manner,
and during1 the. summer season th mar
shal waa spt busy applying disinfect
ants and constructing' temporary drains.
Though having a- population of nearly
1.000 people, a big buslneaa district,
and a residence settlement scattered
over 100 blocks, St Johns has no sewer
and surface drains. By the time an
other hot aeaacn arrives the business
district will ha served with an adequate
sewer, the mills' and factorlss either wllj
be connected with thla conduit,- or with
private qnes. and th. private houses
will be the only source of danger. As
speedily as possibly, Ihs more thickly
settled residence districts will be piped
and until this Is done a close wstch will
be kept for sources of contagion. So
far no epldemto haa come from tha
open drains because a general watch has
been kept by private cltlaens and town
