came a torrent of rain.
It wasn't decided just who the win

was; there were a number of close
finishers.
But the kiddies nnd the mothers nnd
the wives nnd sweethearts found ample
entertainment in the shelter building
provided for thnt purpose nnd presided

grown ups were treated to a movie,
which was given under the supervision

the thirst of the hundreds of happy
children in the park.
I "The wetter they got outside the

"I never saw so much 'saspnrella' go in
so short time."
And oh, those committeemen! I'acli

TRY TO FIX BLAME
FOR FATAL BLAZE
Coroner Hoars Theory That
Warehouse Where Six Lost
Lives Was Overloaded
CHARGE DENIED BY FIRM
There was cotksldcrnblc conflicting
testimony todny at the coroner's Inquest
into the deatli of six firemen who were
killed when thp warehouse of Pottash
Brothers, slot) -IB North American
street, collapsed during a file on
July 12.
Bepresentativps o'f the concern con
tended that the collapse of the building
wns not due to negligence ot the tiriii,
but officlnls ot the lire depnrmtcnt as
serted that bags heavily loaded" with
cement contributed to the accident.
Sixty-five witnesses were cnllcd by
Coroner Knight to testify nt the in
qulry. Frank Cnpp, superintendent of the
Potash plant, expressed belief that the
weight of water used in ctinguisliing
the flames cnused the building to tum
ble. He snid that all the bags in the
building were empty bags. Some were
old cement bags, lie said, but they con
tained no cement.
Theory Is Contradicted
Boss II. Davis, deputy chief of the
Fire Department, coutradictetl Cdpp's
statements. The building, he said, wns
blocked witli bags filled with cement.
These bags, he insisted, impeded the
Hrpmeu from the start and the weight
ot the bags, which were stored on an
upper floor, caused the building to
crumble. After the fire, he baid, hp
counted 200 bngs filled with cement as
they were taken from the ruins. Weight
of water, lie declared, could not have
cnused the disaster, as the firemen
used very little water.
Boss, was supported iu his testimony
by Samuel B. Mitchell, nn inspector of
the Bureau of Housing and Sanitation.
Mitchell snid that lie had seen bngs
filled with cement stored in the buildiug.
Potash Brothers, he snid, conducted the
business nt G'0!, (111 and 013 North
American street without n license, iu
1918 nnd 1010. When told that they
were violating the law, they took out u
license for the place at 501 North
American street. Then they were-, ur-
rected and fined S25 by Magistrate
O'Brien, ou May 14, 1910. They did
not pay the fine, he said, but took an
appeal.
No Action Pending Appeal
This interested the foreman of thp
jury, George F. Pawling, an engineer
and builder.
"Were no steps taken after thev re
fused to pay the fine?" he asked.
Mitchell replied that the authorities
had waited because of the appeal.
Then Assistant District Attorney Wil
liam Findlny Brown, who had been
watching the proceedings for 'District
Attorney Botnn, said :
"These people should have been ar
rested every dny until they complied
with the Inw."
