San Antonio will be the closing
races of the fail meetings and the
opening events of the spring races

WHEELING. JULY IS, 1903.
Thn World,a Fnir Flre.

Without waiting for tho result OF the
Official investigation it is possible to
locate with accuracy the responsibility
for that horror. The known facts do
this.
The cold storage company was re-
sponsible. Tho design Of its pretentious
structure required material more sub
stantial than light pine But this was
not the worst OF 1t. The wood was so
used as tomake n fire almost certainty,
and it was so covered over with staff,
tho plastic material in general use in
the White City, as to conceal tho immi-
nent danger Incredible as it may
seem, the iron smokestack was encased
in pine and covered with hood OF the
same infammable material, so that the
hood became q receptacle for the
charred embers drawn up through the
smokestack. Furnaces OF too little
capacity were forced beyond the safety
point and kept red-hot, every moment
aggravating the dangerous situation.
Within month there were too small
fires in tho building. The result was
that the underwriters gave it a careful
looking over and cancelled all their
policies. lis significant that after that
up to the day Of tho disaster, notwith-
standing persistent efforts, the owners
had succeeded in getting only $4,000 OF
insurance on the trap.
The fair management was RESPONSE
BILE. It's own officers had reported the
building as unsaie, yet it was not only
allowed to remain as 1t was but permit
ted to fly the lying legend, "This build
ing strictly fireproof." The fair man
agement should have compelled the
owners to make the building safe or to
close it.
The fire marshal was responsible for
letting his men go on the building.
He knew it was unsafe, for he had so
reported It. His responsibility was the
least and it was essentially different
from that of the others. The supposi-
ton is that he did not realize what a
finder box 1t was and did not know that
at the time the brave fellows were going
up the flames within wore cutting them
off forever from tho world.
If the fire marshal had appreciated
the situation in its fullness OF horror, it
would have been his duty to save tho
lives OF his mon and to devote his
efforts to prevent the spread Of the fire.
Firemen are not expected to throw
Themselves on burning pile when
there is nothing to be gained by it.
