H.-As soon as the cor jner'e Jury releases Its control of the Iro quois theater tha play house will ag-aln be given over to the flames, If plana evolved by Mayor Harrison and Walter L. Fisher of the City club are carried out. Experts who will fight over again the Iroquola con- nagratlon will have trained fire fighters at tnelr elbows to see that the demon stratlons of the plans do not bring about any property loss bitslde the partially ruined play house. ; The purpose of again firing (he theater is to test the sufficiency of city ordinances, present and prospective. At a conference between Mayor Harri son and Mr. Fisher this subject was dis cussed exhaustively, and It was decided that nothing that had been done in Chi cago for many years would approach this plan In the amount of good for the public. With men who understand every detail of the test to watch every action of the flames and gases and to regulate effects by the manipulation of the ventilators and doors. It was urged that the benefits to accrue from the fire test would be prac tically Inestimable, With the Iroquois atage filled with excelsior and rubbish and a fire raging,- the conditions being like those of the fatal afternoon of December SO,, the experts expect to learn a great deal about the flames that swept so many lives away. J. R. Freeman, an expert on fires, will be asked to take charge of the test. Gruesome Helta of Fire. A human hand " and some money and Jewelry have been found in the debris of the Iroquls theater. The hand waa that of a man and ap parently had been aevercd from the wrist In an attempt to get possession of rings. As no body, was found from which a hand had been taken, the supposition Is that the .body may havo .been consumed In the fire. 1 The police found $30 In bills encased in a chamois skin baa-,' and" also a five-carat opal among the fragments of broken glass and charred wood. Building Inspector Edward Loughlln, on the witness stand today, flatly denied the worn statement of Building Commissioner Williams yesterday that after an Inspection of the Iroquois theater Loughlln had told Williams the building waa completed and everything was o. k. Doughlln testified that what he did tell Commissioner Williams was that the theater, was practica'.ly fin ished and as far as the atructural porta were concerned all city ordinances had been observed. Loughlln claimed to have noth ing to do with fire protection. Coroner's Jury Hears Esoigb, CHICAGO, Jan. 14. Coroner Traeger was handed a communication today from ths foreman of the Jury Investigating the Iro quola theater dlsaater stating that It was the unanimous desire of the Jury to elim inate all further testimony which does not relate directly to responsibility for ' the catastrophe. The letter suggests that bet ter reaults could be obtained by calling the owners, lessees and manager of the Iroquois: s Six additional churches were ordered closed today. A number of lodging houses will also Buffer In consequence of the strict enforcement of city ordinances. Theaters Mast Stay Closed. From action taken tonight by the city council It evident that, Chicago theaters will not be able to reopen for some time. The meeting of the council was for the purpose of considering the revision of building ordinances and it was generally expected that the proposed amendment would be considered and adopted so thst proprietors of theaters would know what would be demanded of thm and would be able to begin alterations at once. When the measure was called up tonight Alderman Ifavor moved that consideration be deferred.' that all the proposed amend Etery boj can do one thing his father can't do.

APPOINTMENT COMES AS SURPRISE Election Take Place In .Xrw York, Where Mr. Ilarrlmaa anil Board . Meet Prealdeat Bart Leaves noad. W. II. Bancroft of Salt Lake City Is the new general manager of the Union Pacific. He will assume the duties of the office this morning. The Information was re ceived from New York through private sources yesterday afternoon, the selection being made yesterday forenoon by the executive committee of the Union Pacific and Mr. Harriman at a conference held in New York. Mr. Bancroft Is now In Omaha snd has been here for a couple of days, He came here to meet Vice President W. D. Cornish of the Union Pacific, who ar rived several dsys ago from New York. The position of vice president and gen eral manager of the Oregon Short Line, wnicn Mr. Bancroft has held ror soma time. Is still retained by him, and he will have the direct supervision of both lines, . Owing to the fact that the appointment of Mr, Bancroft was a complete surprise to him, he Is at present undecided as to Just what his plans for the future will be, He Is keeping house In Salt Lake City and does not know whether he will remove to Omaha to take up his permanent home or retain his residence there. But the fact that the larger part of his duties will be , discharged In this city leads to the belief that he will be forced to reside here. ArT official In high authority with the Union Pacific stated last night that the first notice Mr. Bancroft had of his ap polntrrient to the position of general man ager was when the message came from New York yesterday afternoon. The same official stated also that up to the time of the meeting cf the executive committee yesterday It was not known who would be chosen for the place. It was believed, however, that one of several men In the employ of the company would be selected for the position and several of the men who were under consideration were called to Omaha to hold themselves In readiness should the choice fall on them. All May Go East. These men are now here, and all but Mr. Bancroft probably will attend a meet Ing to be held In New York some time during the next few days. Mr. Bancroft also may go east for a few days at the time the meeting is. held. The meeting will be for the purpose of considering af fairs In general In connection with the policy which will be pursued In conducting the affairs of the company and will be held at the offices of President Harriman. It is believed that the principal business will be to decide whether all of the present officials of the company will retain their respective places. It Is understood that the conference will not Include the heads of departments -at the headquarters, with one Or two exceptions, but that' It will Include all of the operating officials of the com pany. President BUrt's resignation became ef fective last night and he passed through the various departments, bidding the heads goodliy and shaking hands with them. In fact, all with whom he waa acquainted were given a cordial handshake by the re tiring president. It is understood that Vice President Cor nish came to Omaha to assume the duties of. general manager pending the election of some one to fill i the position after Mr. Burt's retirement, should the. executive committee In New York fall to agree upon n appointee. So far as is known at present E. Buck ingham will have control of affairs of the Union Pacific during Mr. Bancroft's ab sence In Salt Ilake City at such times as his duties call him there. Mr. Bancroft stated yesterday that one of his first acts will be to hold a conference with Mr. Buckingham and outline a plan of conducting -the sys tem to the best Interests of every one con cerned. From this It Is Judged that Mr. Buckingham will be the representative of the general manager during his absence. Omaha the Headquarters. Vice President Cornish when asked last night regarding the matter replied: "We want it understood that the affairs of the Union Pacific will be administered from Omaha and not from Bait Lake City." It Is understood that Mr. Bancroft has expreesed his intention of placing more of the affairs of the Oregon Short Line in the hands of E. E. Calvin, who holds the posi tion of general superintendent of that com pany, and In this way he will be enabled to spend more of his time at this end of the line. Mr. TJurt stated yesterday that he and Mrs. Burt would start on their trip abroad within a short time, and that after leaving New York no definite plans had been ar ranged. He has expressed an Intention, however, of visiting the Orient providing Japan and Russia do not go to war, In which case", of course,- this portion of the trip would be abandoned. A cruise in the Mediterranean la also anticipated. Career of Bancroft. William II. Bancroft was born October 20, 1838, at Newberg, O. He entered rail way service April, .1866, as telegraph op erator and ticket clerk of. the Michigan Southern railway, since which time he has been consecutively, May, 1S1, to 1869, division 'operator, clerk and dispatcher of the Erie railroad; 1869. to 1872, dispatcher of the Kansas Pacific railroad; October JO, 1872, to April, 1875, assistant superintend ent of the Atchison, Topeka de Santa Fe; May, 187t, to 1876, superintendent of the St. Louis, Lawrence A Western; January 1, 1878, to April, 1878, chief dispatcher of the Missouri, Kansas A Texas; April, 1878, to July 18, 1886, superintendent of various divisions of the Denver A Rio Grande; Au gust 16, 1884, to July 29, 1886, receiver of the Denver A Rio Grande. Western; July 29, 1886. to July 1, 1890, general superintendent of the Denver A Rio Qrande Western; Jan uary IB, 1890, to date, general superintend ent of the mountain division of the Union Pacific railway. Hill sat Harriman May Inlte. George W. Holdrege, general mam.ger of the B. A M., has been called to New York by J. J. Hill and haa gone. J. F. Wallace, general manager of the Illinois Central, with headquarters In Chicago, waa also called east Wednesday by Mr Harriman. A prominent railroad man said this morn ing: It looks to me as though everything is shaping Itself toward a merger of the Hill and Harriman Interests. I believe that Is the plan on foot at present. I recently re turned from Chicago, where several re ports are In circulation which tend to show that Hill and Harriman are trying to get together. The fact that Harriman has recently been elected a di rector of the Erie railroad, which la a Hill Una, and the further fact that a re port waa current this week to tba effect that Herrlnan had gained control of the Erie lends weight to this belief. . In my opinion it will develop within a short time that a number of the general managers of Hill and Harriman lines , have beeq called to New York to take part In a conference held with the intention. of forming a closer ailla nee v bet ween these two giants in the railroad world. . .. ... L . ; . There Is no question but that an alil- DAILY ItEE: FRIDAY.. JANUARY 15, '19(11. ance between Hill and Harriman would be of vat benefit to the properties they con trol; Tht-y practically could control atl the traffic In the northwestern portion of the United States and could go far toward con trolling it west of Chicago. I think you will find this will be the next great move In the politics of railroading." Among the changes In the official family of the Union Pacific reported as a result of the resignation of President Burt, Is thst of W. R. McKeen. Jr., superintendent of motive power and machinery, will soon resign and accept a position elsewhere, and that Jerry Dunn, who holds the same posi tion on the Oregon Short Line, will come here to succeed Mr. McKeen. ''General manager of the Union Pacific Is not what It once was," said an old official yesterday. "As you'have. pointed out, E. II. Harriman practically Is the only general manager connected wlthhe company. Each department, the legal, traffic, operating, auditing and land, has Its separate head, and llnrrlman la the head of all combined. Stubba is over the traffic department, Cor nish the land department, the legal de partments centers In New York, the operst Ing In Harriman and the auditing In Young here In Omaha. Bo there you are. What Is lert ror the general manager? Whv. he simply can be a sort of operating superln tendent. If snythlng more, then Mr. Ban croft, already lth heavy responsibilities could not have been, expected to perform the duties of general, manager." "There Is a belief among certain of our number, said a local official, "that the present arrangement of general manager Is only temporary, and that Mr. Bancroft. who It is understood did not care for the appointment, will give up the work here as soon as a permanent successor csn be ap- poincea.

These words the cxar spoke to the members of the iiln. lomatlc corps at the New Year's reception held In the winter palace at noon today. The csar made a leisurely round of the great white hall, with Its beautiful col lonades. In which the representatives of the various countries had assembled. Keen curiosity was exhibited all over tb room when his majesty approached Mr. Kurlno, the Japanese minister to Ttimsia The conversation between the csar and the minister was cordial and extended. His majesty emphasized the high value- which he placed upon the good and neighborly re lations between Jhdrii and Rmoli n only now, but In yie future, and expressed bis unshaken hope that a mutually satis factory settlement o'r-he rtimnnitif. be tween the two countries would be arranged. I it navtng beoomer Known that Count Cas alnl had been Instructed tn umra tha United States that Russia would not Inter pose objections to the commercial treatv between China and the United States or impede American rights or interests In Manchuria, the cxar referred to these In structions in a lengthy conversation with Ambassador McCormlck and laid much stress on his dead re that Russia and the United States should live in terms of In timate and cordial frlendshlD which hi existed for so many years and which he especially wished to maintain. He em phatically disclaimed the slightest Inclina tion to hinder the developments of Ameri can commerce. Japan's Reply Invites Wnr. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. Japanese Minis ter Takahara today called on Secretary Hay and informed him that the Japanese reply to the late Russian note had been de livered this morning. The reply amounts to a denial of all Russian Important points and sets forth Japanese counter proposals. which. It Is said, will likely make them un acceptable to Russia. Therefore,' a most pessimistic view of the future Is taken at Toklo. On the other hand, advloea that come to the State department from Paris, St. Petersburg and Berlin are all of a pa cific character. The Japanese minister has supplied the State department an abstract of the latest Japanese note. Count Cas slnl, Russian ambassador, on his part, haa acquainted the State department verbally, as Is hla custom, with the nature of the Russian note, so that the department Is fully Informed; but as both the communica tions have been made In confidence, the officials do not feel that they should make them public. The State department today received a cable despatch from United States Minister Allen st Seoul, Cores, saying that Corean newspapers are trying to Incite the people against foreigners, and especially against American Interests. The department feels that these Interests can be cared for prop erly by the United States gunboat Vlcks burg and the United States marine guard now In Seoul.

At the In stance of his government, which has been appealed to by various commercial bodies, Amhnssador Ju.sserand today called on Colonel Edwards, chief of the bureau of Insular affairs, and made representations to him regarding the export duties raised.

SENATOR LATIMER DISCUSSES ROADS Believes Etpenaes of tiood Highways Should Be Borne by the (iov eminent nnd Virion States. WASHINGTON. Jan. 14.-lmmedlately after the senate was called to order today Mr. Pettus, from tho committee on mili tary sffalrs. renortori the bill extending 1 11 1 19 the time for the settlement of claims of states for the equipment of troops for the Spanish-American war. The bill passed. At tho reiluest of Mr. Hale the considera tion of resolutions touching tho Postoftlce department was postponed until Monday next. In accordance with rlla previous notice, Mr. Latimer (3. C.) discussed the subject of good roads. He based his remarks on his own bill, providing a plan of combina tion between the national government and the various slates for the Improvement of public roads. He said that about one-third of our people living In country districts bear tho responsibility and cost of main taining the common roads. He contended that this Is an unjust discrimination agnlnst them and urged that the national government should bear part of the burden. When Mr. Latimer concluded, the Oor mnn Panama resolution was laid before the senate and Mr. Newlands was recog nized. He conceded that the president had not been hound because a reasonable time had not elapsed to turn from Tanarha to the Nicaraguan route. He also sssented to the proposition that the United States had a grievance against Colomhla on ac count of the rejection of the Hay-Herran treaty. But. he contended, that the action of the United States in preventing the landing; of Colombian troops In Panama was an Intervention that amounted to a declaration of war. He also snld that our dealing with Colombia In the Panama af fair had been In derogation pf the treaty or lxw between the United States and New Granada. He discussed st length the pro visions of that treaty and ene-neen In . controversy with Mr. Spooner as to the guaranty of right of transit. Mr. New lands contended that this gusrnntee did not, go 10 the extent of authorizing the country to land troops for the purpose of attack!.!;; Colombia's sovereignty. If there naa been cause for grievance the question should, under the terms of the treaty, have been diplomatically presented and satis faction asked. Then, and not until then, might there have been a resort to war. Supports the Administration. Mr. Dep -w epi ko In support of the adr ministration 'n it conduct on the Isthmus and said tiat tlio opponents of the treaty were hiding the ei.cmles of the canal, "ly ho continued, "there aver was a concert of action among, any great railway corpora tions, to defeat Jhis. mast .beneficial work of 'commerce and .civilisation. 1 am-not aware of It But if such .a commission does exhjt, theiAlts allies and its most efficient assist ants 'are to be found among those who, under any device or excuse, are endeavor ing to defeat the treaty with the Republic of Panama." , Mr. Depew ridiculed as lurid the conten tion of Mr. Newlands that the president had made war on Colombia.
