Chicago, Jan. 6.— After tonight it w ill, for some weeks at least, be prac tically impossible to hqld a house meet ing of any. kind in Chicago outside the churches. Building Commissioner W illiam s tonight issued an order clos ing a ll public halls, dance halls and tamer-serein halls and all similar places of public assemblage until inspec tion has. shown that they are complying with all provisions of the building ordinance. As there are more than 5,000 halls in Chicago, this order w ill probably affect as many persons as the theater closing order. Protests were numer ous, but the building commissioner was inflexible. He saiaT ‘ ‘ Many of these halls are worse than any theater in Chicago, some of them are put up with no restrictions, such as govern theaters, and many of them are firetraps of the worst kind.” i Two years ago a general inspection of halls was made, before the commence ment of Building Commissioner W il liam ’s administration. Notwithstand ing this, the commissioner declares he w ill take no chances, and every hall must satisfy the rqeuirements. The sole exemption is in favor of private lodge halls, which do not fall in the scope of the order. DIVISION OF ARMY.

M a yo r AM to Lock Up Uatll Law Is Compiled With. . Chicago, Jan. 6.— Tonight every* theater in the city of Chicago is dark, and its doors ar^mcked. Not one of then» w ill be open to the public until their managers have complied in the fullest manner with every section of the - ordinances regulating playhouses.- The order compelling the theaters to - close was issued this afternoon by May or Harrison, after a conference w ith Corporation Counsel Tolman, who as sured the mayor that ample legal ground existed for his action.> Seventeen theaters and museums- were closed last night, and the sweep ing order of the mayor today shut the doors of 16 more. These last are the leading theaters in the businesa section of the city. The 17 places of amusement which were closed last night were closed fore the one reason that they were not pro vided with an asbestos curtain. The further action taken today is in conse quence of violation of other sections o f ’ the ordinance regulating theaters. There was a hasty rush of theatrical managers to the office of Mayor H arri son in the effort to qpeure the w ith drawal, or at least a postponement o f ' the order, but their reception was of an exceedingly frosty nature. They w e re : informed by the mayor that the inspec tors had reported every one of them violators of the law, and he was deter mined it should not be said hereafter th at the city bad neglected anything which could prevent a repetition of tho horror of last Wednesday afternoon. JAPAN W IL L NOT HBSITATB. Once* She Sees Russia WI1 Not Otve la W ar WU1 Be Declared. Washington, Jan. 5.— Count Cas sini, Russian ambassador, thinks the Far Eastern situation “ gloomy, b at not without hope of salvation.” A t 1 the Japanese legation tonight it was intimated that if the Russian reply does not give definite assurance’Shat in general the concessions asked for by Japan in Corea w ill be granted, the Tokio government w ill be impelled to abandon diplomacy for force. Dispatches received by Mr. Taka- hira, the Japanese minister, from To kio today, tell of the critical state of public feeling tbere. I t is Btated that if Russia fails to give a definite reply, Japan w ill interpret a diliatory note as indicating Russia’s wish to defer hos- tilities until the spring, when her forces on land and sea can be used to- be tter advantage. I f Japan ia convinced of Rnasia’ s in tention not to accept her proposals, the Tokio government, it is declared, w ill not hesitate to take the initiative and assume the responsibility for making- war. The Japanese minister does not be lieve that, after tbe manner in which he says his people have acted through-, out the negotiations, they w ill . forfeit any sympathy which they have in this country by striking first. ORBAT SAPBTY APPARATUS. Council WIU Be Asked to Bndorse Auto- L. matte Arrangement. Chicago, Jan. 6.— To throw open in stantly and simultaneously all doors o f a theater, like the method of throwing^ a multiple lever in a railroad switch' tower, is the purpose of an ordinance which w ill be presented to the city council. According to the provisions of the ordinance, all theaters or other places of public amusement having a. capacity of over 500 persons shall pro vide an automatic apparatus to open and close all doors to exits. Levers shall operate in conjunction with elec tric lights to be located near the exits bo that when the doors are opened all passageways shall be slimultaneously lighted. The owner of a theater must employ a man, to be approved by the fire marshal, to be on duty at the lever dur ing tbe whole time the theater ia open to the public. He shall be in full uni form and operate the apparatus before and after each performance so as to- familiarize the public with the exits and to ascertain whether tbe ap paratus is efficient and in ready work ing order. For violating the foregoing a heavy fine is provided, together with the clos ing of the offending theater. Heavy Tax ou Chinese. Vancouver, B. C., Jan. 5.— The rais ing of the head tax on Chinese from $100 to $500, which went into effect January 1, means that steamers must put up five times the amount of securi ties for Chinese aboard. The big liner Oanfa has just deposited $36,000, she having 70 Celestials on board. The Canadian Pacific Empress steamers w ill be forced to deposit $100,000 for each vessel. I f any Chinese escape the steamers w ill have to pay $500 for each one. Every Chinaman coming through now w ill be carefully examined. May Expect Cold Soup.
