Heroism at the Iroquois Horror.

| arms. He sets the boy down for a mo-
ment.
“Now, don’t ery, Annie,” he says. ‘‘I'm
going to throw you to that nice man over
there. He’ll be good to you.”
Propelled by all the giant’s strength the
child went flying over the heads of the
struggling people. The other man caught
her in his arms. The hoy followed in the
same way. Both the children were brought
to the street in safety.
Nobody seems to know the names of any
of these peopie, but there were those who
saw and heard it as it happened.
A tall, slender young woman, separated
from her companions, is caught in the fear-
ful crush about the exit from the main
balcony. Sbeis but a few feet from the
narrow doors, but she is unable to move an
inch in any direction. Just at the door is
the whiripool of death, holding in check
both streams of panic-stricken people.
Up from behind her billow clouds of
smoke and red-hot air. Behind her, too,
people are screaming in their last agonies.
She herself feels that she is suffocating. It
is sure death she is facing.
With a last effort she pulls her arms from
her sides and lifts them in appeal high
above the heads "of the crowd. Her lips
move in a last prayer.
“0 God, our Father,’’ she cries, ‘‘help
me and save me !”’
In an instant comes the answer to her
prayer. ’
Just at the edge of the whirlpool outside
the door stands a man—¢lothes torn, hair
singed, face blistered. He is working like
a madman trying to break the jam which
blocks the passageway. He has pulled
and dragged half a dozen women to safety.
He hears the shrill prayer of the girl and
—————
2
at the same instant sees her uplifted arms,
With a leap he has caught those hands,
aud then, pulling. suraping, with feet
braced against the sides of the door, he bas
dragged her over the heads of the heads of
the people in frons. Now he sets her on
der fees.
‘‘Ran,” he cries, ‘*‘down that way.”
Then be turned again to his fight with
the death jam.
The girl does not know his name. She
never saw him before. It is not likely
that she will ever see him again. It may
be that he staid too late and lost his life in
the effort to save others.
He was a hero. There were many such.
In pitifal contrast to such as these is the
conduct of some of the people on the stage.
There, if anywhere, there seems to have
been utter rout and panic. It was the cow-
ardice or carelessness of people on the stage
which occasioned the start of the fire, which
made it impossible to lower the asbestos
curtain and which finally, by throwing
wide open the doors leading from the stage,
created the draft which swept the clonds
of smoke aud fire ont into the faces of the
audience.
And then, one after the other, half a
dozen men cam e forward and publicly
claimed credit for having personally forced
the opening of the door through which
many of the stage people found safety.
Half a dozen self-proclained heroes—
each one giving the lie to the other five!
The Coromer’s Inquest.
Fixing Responsibility for the Iroquois Theatre Fire.
Inquest Will be Held Over the Remains of “Miss
Mary Edna Torney and 564 Others’—First Wit-
ness Says Lobby Door was Locked on Inside.
The coroner’s inquest over the remains
of the victims of the Iroquois theatre disas-
ter at Chicago began lass Thursday. The
coroner’s official list of dead—for use at the
inquest—contains 565 names. Previous
police reports indicating 591 dead are de-
clared now to be inaccurate and dae to the
shifting of bodies from one morgue to
another.
Preparations were complete for the most
searching inquiry into the causes of the
greatest public calamity that Chicago has
ever known. Coroner Traeger presided
over the investigation with States Attorney
Deneen, or one of his assistants in constant
attendaucg as the coroner's legal represen-
tative, and the corporation ecouncel, the
county attorney, a score of lawyers repre-
senting private interests and numerous
officials of the fire and police departments
taking part in the inquiry.
It is estimated that it will require at
least six days for the jury to hear the testi-
mony of the 200 or more witnesses.
The provision of the law that the jury
shall view the bodies over which the in-
quest is held having already beem com-
plied with, Coroner Traeger entered upon
the examination of the witnesses to deter-
mine the canse of the fire and the vesponsi-
bility for the loss of life. Technically the
inquest is beld over ‘‘the hody of Miss
Edna Torney and 564 others.”
Deputy Coroner Buckley knew Miss Tor-
ney and arrived on the scene of the fire a
few minutes after her hody had been car-
ried ont. He was able to locate the two
policemen who had bandled the body. The
check to her seat in the theatre was found
in her clothing.
‘‘Precise evidence can therefore be ad-
duced as to the circumstances of her death
and these circumstances will be interpreted
to apply in general to the 564 others.” Al-
though some died of asphyxiation. some of
m——
‘person or persons who died at the end of
stn
burns and some from concussion, the jnry
will find that death in each of the 565
deaths resulted from ‘‘shock and injury.”
The jury will sign a separate verdict for
each victim.
For the task of fixing the responsibility
for the great loss of life, States Attorney
Deneen instructed Coroner Traeger to
establish the identity, if possible of some
the passage leading south from the entrance
of the second balcony. There a locked
door cut off the escape of hundreds whose
bodies were found against the barricaded
door. The coroner has succeded in gather-
ing this evidence.
Mrs. B. M. Strong, of Chicago and her
niece, Vera Strong, of Awmericng, Ga., died
at the front of the stairway. The story of
their death hefore the locked exit has been
sold to the coroner by James M.Strong,son
of the elder victim Mr. Strong, who is a
Board of Trade clerk, consented to testify.
IMPORTANT WITNESS ARRESTED
The arrest of William J. Maher and
Charles Nagel, which took place last Thurs-
day, is considered important by Coroner
Traeger in connection with the investiga-
tion. The men were employed by a sub-
contractor of the Fuller Construction com-
pany. According to the police, the men
say they nailed down the ventilators on the
roof of the theatre over the stage and shat
examination will show the skylight flames
had never been removed. In other words
the safety vents for a fire on the stage were
never operated and every audieuce that
ever sat in the Iroquois theatre from the
day the theatre was opened, bad been in
imminent danger of roasting to death
wholesale whenever a fire broke ont on the
stage. E. Krifting is the sub-contractor of
the Fuller Construction company who em-
ployed Maher and Nagel. The two work-
men were at home in bed when arrested.
The workmen explained to the policemen
that the nails were expected to be removed
later and the skylight placed in proper
working order when the theatre was placed
in the hands of the owner. Both men ex-
pressed willingness to appear before the
coroner’s jury.
VENTILATION DEFECT FATAL.
Greas stress is laid by the coroner upon
developments during the inquest in rela-
tion to the stage ventilation and air shafts:
the proper workings, it is held, would have
saved hundreds from death. The ventila-
tors and shafts were opened the next morn-
ing after the fire by Foreman David Jones,
of the George Faller Construction company
and two workmen, Maher and Nagel. Ac-
cording to the police Maher Thursday said
that he had charge of the metal connection
of the ventilator. The ventilator was to
have heen operated by a lever from the
stage, so that it could be thrown open at a
moment’s notice, but according to Maher
the lever was never fitted. Maber, accord- |
ing to the police, says that he went to the!
theatre the day after the fire and looked to |
see if the lever had heen attached,but conld |
find no trace of it. He saw several tempo
rary scantlings still nailed to the wall in|
the way and he fixed them when his part i
of the work of constructing the theatre was '
finished. | ]

FOUND DOORS LOCKED.
The first witness before the coroner’s jary
was John C. Galvin, a painting contractor. |
He testified that on the afternoon of fhe
fire he stepped into the vestibale of the Iro-
quois theatre to purchase tickets for the fol-
lowing evening. As he turned to the tick-
et office the centre doors of the lobby foyer
and the outside entrance doors were blown
