PROBING ROUDIS HORROR Negligence Shown on Part of Men Handling Curtain. CHARGED WITH ROBBING DEAD. Alisada to Have Taken Money From » Iroquois Victims. Charged with robbing the dead and dying at the Iroquois theater fire three men have been placed under arrest by the Chicago police. The first of the alleged ghouls to be captured was Louis Witz, keeper of the Illinois saloon, located at Dearborn and Ran- dolph streets, a few doors from the main entrance of the theater. It is alleged that Witz robbed the body of a dying woman, Mrs. E. J. Trask, se- curing $199 which, it is alleged, was divided among three men, two of whom were arrested after Witz. The other two arrested are Charles Con- way, said to have received $20, and Thomas McCarthy, alleged to have been given $27.50. The third man, still at large, is a stranger who was given $12. It is said that Witz con- fessed that $210 was taken from the body of Mrs. Trask when she was car- ried dying into the saloon. The first definite testimony showing | negligence on the part of the men in| charge of the Iroquois stage curtains developed Monday. John F. Dough- erty, who stated that he was emn- ployed at the theater, was the witness from whom the evidence was obtain- ed. “Did you try to lower the asbestos curtain on the day of the fire?” he was asked. “Yes. A man came running over to me from the south end of the stage and said to lower the asbestos cur- tain for there was a fire. I tried to lower it, but it was too heavy and some one jostled me, and my hand was caught. Someone else came.:and pulled down the rope and released me and shoved me out of the-way.” : br EVIDENCE AGAINST MOTHER. Shocking Story Told in Bechtel Murder Trial. The chain of circumstantial evi- dence which the Commonwealth is attempting to forge around Mrs. Catherine Bechtel, charged with being an accessory after the fact in the mur- der of her daughter Mabel, at Allen- town, Pa., was strengthened by the witnesses called by the prosecution. Alois Eckstein’s story of the rela- tions of himself and cther men with Mabel Bechtel was shocking. He went so far as to testify .that the mother countenanced the misconduct of her daughter. He related his visit to the Bechtel home on the day that Mabel’s body is alleged to have been hidden in the house, and said that the actions of the members of the family appeared strange to him. Under cross-examination REckstein sald he loved Mabel and he thought she cared for him. He understood it was agreed that he should marry her. Mabel, however, always put him off when he mentioned the subject. He admitted having struck the girl. “I heard that Mabel had received attentions from a well-known man in town,” Eckstein said, “and that her mother told her to get all she could out of him. I upbraided Mabel about it and told her that if she kept on acting like that I'd never have any- thing to do with her. Then she ran into the kitchen and got a knife. When she came back at me, I struck her to defend myself.” Witness told of other quarrels he had had with | Mabel, and of Weisenberg’s appear- ance on the scene and of the manner in which Mabel transferred her affec- tions to him. Dr. John Lear, a biological expert of Muhlenberg college, testified that the stains on the carpet and other articles taken from the Bechtel house, were human blood stains. The wooden steps leading from the kitchen to the cellar were shown to the witness, and without qualification he said that the spots on the boards were human blood stains. By this the Commonwealth will endeavor to prove that the body of the murdered girl had been carried down those steps and placed in the alley, where it was later found. em i . gs Russian Statesman Looks for It If Trouble Begins. IRRITATED AT UNITED STATES. Blames England, Also, for Counten- ancing Tokio Governmtnt's At. titude in the Crisis. A message from St. Petersburg says: In diplomatic circles, where indications are eagerly sought as to how political straws are pointing, much interest is aroused at a bad quarter of an hour which the British Ambassador recently had when calling upon Count Lamsdorf, the latter’s re- ception of Sir Charles Scott being of the most frigid order. This fully con- firms the intense irritation in the high- est quarters against England. The same angry sentiment is tc-day being extended freely to America. It is being declared here that Russia has not got to do with Japan so much as with England and that the Anglo- Japanese alliance is at the bottom of all of the present trouble. The echo is now loudly heard of the utterances of those far-seeing politicians who at the moment of the alliance announced and proclaimed that this -political “coup” meant war against Russia as destroying the balance of power in the Far East. It is urged by many that the time has come for Russia to re- taliate for the “pin-prick policy of England” by a demonstration toward the Indian frontier, and also by ag- greseive political tactics in Persia. Count Lamsdorf was yesterday handed a duplicate note pf Japan's reply by Japanese Minister Kurino, whose sincerity as a friend of peace warmly appeals to the Minister of For- eign Affairs, Count Lamsdorf, who, it is interesting to know, will surely do everything possible to avert war, which he, a lifelong friend of Witte, looks upon with the utmost Tepugnance. The Count is firmly of the opinion shared by every seasoned politician and diplomat here, and which with characteristic . frankness he communi- WORLD WAR THREATENED EXPLOSION KILLS THREE. Steam Pipe Bursts, Wrecking Mill and Burying Men. Three men are dead and eight are injured as a result of the breaking of a governor belt, allowing an immense fily-wheel to run away and burst in the Cambria Steel Company’s No. 2 rail mill at Johnstown, Pa. Three are dead and eight are more or less in- jured. Most of those killed and hurt are foreigners who were employed in the mill, The explosion brought down the whole section of roof running from the puddling mill to the finishing shed of the mill. The woodwork at once took fire from the furnaces and it burned fiercely. Wri AR > The accident was the result of the engine in the mill running off, as the result of the governor belt breaking. The wheel was about 30 feet in diam- eter, and exploded with terrific force, smashing into the large steam main that ran along the.roof of the building and causing it to burst. In a moment the entire No, 2 mill was a scene of confusion and devastation. Shutdown for Six Months. The Alliance plant of the American Steel Foundries Company shut down for an indefinite period. Supt. Wal- lace said lack of orders was the cause of the shutdown. Up to December the plant employed about 800 men, but at the present time the force only numbers about 300 men. Officials say the plant will not resume work for six months. A number of the foremenm and melters will be sent to other plants under the same control. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

PATH HALF A MILE WIDE SWEPT. Many Homes, Hotels and Warehouses Demolished by the Wind's Velocity. A disastrous tornado swgpt over Moundyville, a town of 300 inhabitants, 15 miles south of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and as a result 37 persons were killed, and more than 190 injured. Every busi- ness house, with the exception of a small drugstore, was completely de- stroyed. The tornado struck the town from tre southwest, and mowed a path a qrarter of a mile wide through the tewn. All but five of those killed were ne- BTOES. Surgeons were rushed to Moundyville from Greensboro and Tuscaloosa, and ail possible was dene to alleviate the sufferings of the injured. By the force of the storm persons were blown hundreds of feet from their beds in thee blackness of the night. Through terror, a father, mother and three children fled from their home to seek refuge, and in ‘their excite- ment left a 5-year-old boy in bed. He was pulled from beneath some timber and thus far it is impossible to find any other member of the family. Bedding, carpets and wearing ap- parel were scattered for a distance of 10 miles through what was a forest, but which is now as clear as though cut by the woodman’s axe. Freight cars were torn to splinters, the trucks Irom them being hurled hundreds of leet from the track. The depot, the hotel, warehouses, gins, 30 homes ard many stores, to- gether with their stocks, were com- pletely destroyed. It is impossible to find even the pillars upon which these structures rested. Bales of cotton stored in warehouses were torn to at- oms, the fragments of lint lodging in trees, making it appear as though that section had been visited by a snow- DROWNED IN STREAMS. Horse and Cutter Swept Away—Bridge Gives ‘Away. Three men and a hbrse and cutter, while driving across a stream near Pierpont, Ashtabula. county, Ohio, were swept away by the flood. Dexter Smith was drowned and his body has not yet been recovered. George Haz- eltine, after being swept a quarter of a mile, succeeded in getting out. It is feared, however, that he may not recover from his injuries. Joseph Frick, the other occupant of the sleigh, was not seriously injured. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Huffman, of Greenville, Pa., attempted to drive from Tyrrell Hill to their home in Greenville. In crossing the bridge over Big Tankee the bFidge gave way | and all were precipitated into the riv- .~ er. Huffman was drowned. Mrs.’ Huffman was taken out in an uncon- scious condition. HOTEL BLOWN UP BY GAS. Three Killed, Two Fatally and Ten Seriously Injured. In an explosion which wrecked the Seitz Hotel at Marion, Ind., three peo- ple were killed, two fatally hurt and 10 seriously injured. The seriously injured were all guests of the hotel. The explosion is attributed to natural gas, which €escap- ed into the basement from a pipe line running near the hotel. The building was a two-story brick, the hotel occupying the second floor. The outer walls were blown out, the second floor falling on the first with the roof on it. The guests were under the wreck, which at once ignited. They were asleep in their rooms when the explosion occurred. The property loss is $25,000. WHITAKER WRIGHT ON TRIAL, Says He Took Money Intended for Family to Help Company. Whitaker Wright, the company pro- moter, on trial on the charge of fraud testified to-day. He told of the foun- dation of the London and Globe Cor- poration, which, he declared, was prosperous until the end of 1899, after the South African war had started, when matters became disastrous. The witness added that he assisted the JE8gped vhs - RE, company out of his private pocket, lending it between $2,000,000 and $2,- 500,000.
