Arrangements are being made lor the regular annual district conven tion of the Knights of Pythias, and plans are well under way for a buc cessful time. As yet no place has been decided upon for holding the convention, as it Beems to be hard for tho towns of the interior to Una accommodations for the number of neonle who will wish to attend. It was thought that the meetings would be held at Weston this year, bMt it haR been found that there is not hall room enough in the city to accommodate tho 200 or 300 person who will attend, and so it is thought that the meeting will be held In this city some time during tho last of .lanuarv or the first of February. No definite plans have yet been made for the convention outside 01 general uis cusslon. DR. C. J. WHITTAKER MARRIED Prominent Pendleton Dentist Wedo Miss Glenada Griffith, of Portland, Last Tuesday.

The PoH&PjfsTORE OVER PER SH IN THEATRE FIRE (Concluded.) fill the streets around the scene of the catastronhe. clvlnc wav to traf- tic and pedestrians only througtt the active efforts of tho police. The Iroquois stands to outward gaze intact, with all the glamor ot new construction. Its marbled col umns and sculptured figures of trag edy and comedy are not even black ened with the death-dealing smoke. Tho grand entrance with its marble staircase and terraces Is still beauti ful and Intact, but Inside not a ves tige of anything inflammable is left. Chaotic Condition. The situation is still confronted by a chaos that will take days to straighten out. Tho police and coro ners today, after 24 hours continuous toll, admitted their Inability to com pile a correct list of tho dead. Injur ed and missing. Their revised state ment reduced the number of dead from 591 to 551. The missing aro placed at 200, probably. Among the unidentified and Injui ed are 300 of whom the physicians report probably 100 are fatally hurt. Newspaper reports cqmplled at the various morgues and hospitals up to noon state the very lowest dead be ing 5G4, and the highest 576. Coroner's Jury at Work. Coroner Trager Impaneled a jury early this morning and conducted them into numerous morgues, where each body was viewed separately. Several times the men were compel! cd to cease their labors, overcome by emotion. The spectacle of burn?d children affected them most. Two Jurors were unable to go farther than the first morgue, where they were ex cused and other men substituted. The Jury's unpleasant task will probably occupy It until midnight, by which time the last victims will prob ably have been seen. As scwji as this is done, hearlne the evidence will be hecun. The Investigation will bo mmnlete. The witnesses will lie re quired to say why the doors of the children's galleries . were not leit open so every means of exit could be used. Also, why the asbestos cur tain failed to work, and whether or not the several building laws were complied with. All information now shows that had the asbestos curtain worked the loss of life would have been small. Danger From Falling Walls. The rear and side walls of the stage are In danger of falling. Architects today warne.i tho firemen that the rear of the building might collapse at nny moment and erusu to death all In that portion. William Dee, a wealthy contractor, whose two children. Edward," aged fi, and Louise, aged 3, and their nurse, are mlbslng, chartered a Bpecial train flora Mecca, Ind. Today lie found the nurse and Louise, the latter be ing picked up crying in the streets In lront of the theater. The nurse, badly Injured, was In a hospital. The boy Is missing. Origin of Fire. Tho file is now attributed to an ex plosion of gas tanks used in making lime lights. It spread death-dealing fumes over the top galleries, and many died from the poisonous Inhala tion. Many members of the company were found dead In the flies and upper dressing rooms from the same cause. In almost every case those brought out were dead or so seriously Injured they died within a few minutes. From President Roosevelt. Mayor Harrison this mornlug io celved the following from President Roosevelt: "In common with all our people throughout the land, I extend through you to tho people of Chicago, the deepest sympathy In the catastro phe which has befallen them." From London's Mayor. I-ondou, Dec. 31. The lord mayor today sent to Minister Choate the fol lowing: "The citizens of London of fer the deepest sympathy and sincere condolence to the, American people for tho awful loss of life through the fire at Chicago."
