By their own evidence given today before Monroe Fulkerson, who Is conducting the fire department investigation in the Iroquois theater horror, tho proprietors of the theater showed that a worse condition of affairs existed than had heretofore lieen thought possible. Will J. Davis, Harry J.- Powers and Thos. K. Noonan, active managers of the Iroquois theater, were examined by Mr. Fulkerson tuday. All of them pleaded Ignorance of any precautions taken to prevent loss of life by fire at their theater. They admitted failure to instruct employes, in fighting fire, and failure even to provide suitable appliances from use against the flames. Their statements were corroborated by the testimonies of twenty employes of the theater, none of whom had ever been told what lo do In ease of fire. Noonan, who la the working manager of the theater under direction of Davis, and Powers, admitted today that eleven of the theater exits were locked and bolted. The greatest loss of life trom the fire was n tbe first end second balconies, where hundreds of people were suffocated through tbelr inability to get out or were trampled to death while trying to do so. Had these three exits In each balcony been available, according to Mr. Fulkerson, the kiss of llfo must have been greatly diminished. From figures obtained by Noonan today, it became evident that almost one in three of thn people who attended the matinee lost their lives, tho percentage being a trifle over 31 per cent.
