Inspector of buildings Entwisle, in

was thought that indictments would he
found against several proprietorS, but
such u course has not yet been taken.
Mr.. \. G.. Riddle, attorney for the Dis
trict, Hazleton's predecessor decided that
the law was defective, and the hotel men
could not be prosecuted for not putting up
- hre-escapes Several months ago a
nlikt Of persons who had not complied with
SeBe law was prepared by the Commission.
ers and sent TO Assistant Attorney Thomas,
with Instructions to take action in the
courts against the parties named.
The Attorney however, has not yet en-
tered upon any prosecutions.
Yesterday Commissioner Douglass in
qlnred into the matter, and it is expected
that some steps against the parties refus-
ing 10 obey the law will be taken. The
naftef is one of considerable importance,
and some surprise is manifested by Dis
trict oaicials that indictments against in
diridnRleinstead Of recommended onswere
NOT geturned by the grand jury in its last
report.
