PLAT THEIR DEADLY PART Iron Gatei at Iroqioii Tbtater Cat Off Exapfc USHER ADMITS THEY1 CLOSED UP EXITS Were "ecorelr Fastened wltk I'ad- lorke and: Sever I Blocked Vatll After the Beroad Act of tho Play. CHICAGO, Jan. 9 It was discovered today that two Iron gates, the existence of which has not been known to the public and which were removed from the Ironuols theater after the fire, played a deadly pHrt In the destruction of life in the ill-fated playhouse. Fire Inspector Fulkerson, who knew of their existence,' was not able until today to secure evidence -concerning them. Today George Dusenberry, head -usher of the theater, admitted to Mr. Fulkerson that these gates were placed one across the end exit In the first balcony and the other across an exit from the second balcony Uoth gates were locked securely with pad locks, and were never at any performance unlocked until after the second act of a play. On the1 day of tho fire the eecond act had not been completed when the cotas trophe occurred and the gates were still standing. They were so strong that fire men were not able to batter them down with axes Rftcr the fire, and to the frenzied people Who sought safety through those exits they wore absolutely Impenetrable. During the afternoon several members of the Bluebeard company testified. The most Important witness was William Wlerts, who ha l charge of a light similar to that which Is supposed to have caused tho fire and which was placed a short dis tance from It. He declared that It was lm possible for the light clow to the scenery to have caused the fire. He said that a blue screen was held bifore it for the pur pose of producing moonlight upon the stage. This,' he said, would prevent the curtain frbm coming In contact with the light. He admitted,1 however, that when changing scree hs the carbons were unprotected and that If the scenery touched them nt such a time it would be Ignited. Miss Utile Haley, a teacher In 'the pub lic schools, created something of a sensa tion by declaring that many of the public school buildings are absolutely without protection against fire, and that repeated protests by teachers and principals had produced no results sr.d hnd not even been honored by a reply. Fire on Day of Opening, Sworn testimony waa given that a fire broke out in the Iroquois the very first night that the, theater wus opened. This first fire only preceded by a few weeks the great disaster which resulted In the loss of hundreds of lives. The testimony regarding the fact of the Initial blase was given by John Blckles, workman employed on the construction of the theater. He said: I was In the basement the night the theater onened In a ahort Passage south west of the stage. I heard a loud report and flames came fiver the partitions over my head, the partition In the basement under the atnare. The partitions rise from the rloor about elaht feet, but do not reach the ceiling. The names came from another room from where I hitppened to be. There was a crowd running around me aoor ana I could not see In. I was tokr it waa some kind of a gas tank mat exploded. In the light of this evidence the record of testimony taken to date shows that there were two previous direct warnings to the Iroquois management, before the catastrophe. Joseph Dougherty,, curtain manager, has testified during the'. Are de partment , Investigation that there was k fire on the stag .a week be-foro tne holo- caust. The impression Is rapidly growing among those who have followed the Inquiry to date that tho Blue Beard production waa doomed from te first. ' The death roll continues to grow. An other death resulting from the Are waa reported to the coronor today. Mrs. M. A Nelma died at the Samaritan hospital from burna and injuries. Her death increased the total to 569. It was reported at the same hospital that two other fire victims there could hardly recover. Louis E. Post, whose offices are on th sixteenth floor of the Unity building, com mandlng a blrdseye view of the Iroquois heater, declares that .the outer edges of the emoke and flame were tinged with peculiar greenish color. Mr. Post, his wife and 8. S. Stanger, who were In Mr. Post' office at the time of the disaster, had belief that there were chemicals on the stage, which added to the fury of the firs HYMENEAL Reld-McQoeen. HAY SPRINGS. Neb..

(Liures ra at W I Uricsol is a positive cure (or rheumatism and other diseases which are caused by an ex ess of Uric Acid.- 1 ' " i It is this excess of Uric Acid which forms into urates and, lodging at joints coming in ontact with the nerves, causes the imin which is called rheumatism. Uricsol causes these de posits of urates to become dissolved and then eliminates them from the bod y. It removes the uuse and is therefore the only tism, gout, etc. Uricsol is a radical departure from all so-called cures. Uricsol does not interfere in tne ast with the stomach or digestive functions; it has tonic properties which increase the appetite and is of itself a general stimulant for the liver and kidneys.
