Mayor Carter Harrison today took steps to provide, as far as possible, against a reiietitlon of Wednesday's horror at the Iroquois theater. As a result of an investigation made at hla orders and lasting a few hours, nineteen theaters and museums were ordered closed, soma of them being among the leading and moat popular play houses of the city. The action of the Mayor was baaed on one single violation of the ordinances which are intended to protect the patrons of the theaters from juat such an occurrence which has cost ao many lives. This was that every one of these places had omitted to supply an The theaters ordered , asbestos curtain. rloeed are: Howards, Sam T. Jacks, Marlowe. New American, Olympic. Academy of Avenue.

In addition to theae the London Globe Museum and the Clark Street Museum were also compelled to close doors. their ' The Chicago Opera House and the Olympic theaters are vaudeville houses of the highest class, and probably do as much business In point of numbera as any of the theaters in the city at any single performance. They give, however, a matinee every day in the week, and it is seldom that seats cat) be obtained for any performance at the tlnie of opening. In addition to this the have been accustomed to selling large numbers of tickets for standing room, and as a general thing more people are within these places of amusement at an average iverform-anr- e than can be found at any other play house in the city. Tbe Garrick theater which waa ordered closed la a small play house on the northwest aide of the city and should not be confuonded - with the larger theater of the same name situated on Randolph street, one block west of the Iroquois. The inspection ordered by the Mi or today waa carried out by Bui Id Commlsaloner Williams and Chief Police O'Neil. The scope of the v pstlgation Included no further th asbestos curtains.' The Mayor stnirted Commissioner Williams to port to him promptly at the cone sinn of his investigation, saying tl it waa hla intention that no then should open its doors In Chicago be after unless it was provided with ashestoc curtain of standard qnal that would work at all times and i dcr all conditions.

Mr. Lange, almost exhausted through hla continuous trips from morgue to morgue and from hospital to hospital, from police station to the corner's office and then back through tbe wearisome round again and again, came this afternoon in utter despair to the office of Chief of Police O'Neil and begged two detectives to assist him. He also pleaded with newspaper men, and hla voice choked and filled aa he referred to his wife, who lay utterly prostrated at their home.

Dr. Emil G. Hirech, who conducted the services, announced that he would be able to deliver only a short address. In four other houses of the members of his congregation lay the bodies of children waiting for him to officiate at their funerals. It was impossible for the bereaved relatives to secure all the carriages they wished to convey their friends In and relatives to the cemeteries. many cases it waa not possible for all the members of the family to ride in the fucnral cortege, because no carriages .could be procured for them. The liverymen wero simply overwhelmed by I he demands made upon them, and earnestly urged that, ns far as possible, the relatives should content themselves with a carriage for the pall bearers, the hearse and one other carriage for. tha family. Where there were those in tbe family than could conveniently ride in d the single carriage, . they . srere to make their way to the 'cemetery by other methods of transportation.
