spOnsfbflity ON Any One Person.

DENVER. Col. Aug. 29.-The coroners
jury, after six days investigation Of the
Gumry Hotel disaster. made its report this
evening. 1t says that testimony was con-
flicting; that it is impossible to fix the re-
sponsibility for the disaster upon any one
person. but that the owners, Peter Gumry
and r. c. Greiner, were blamable for re-
quiring their engineer to work sixteen
hours out of twenty-four and for employing
an inexperienced engineer, whose habits
Hellmot Loescher, the report says, had
been drinking on the night of the disaster
and, further. he had not examined the

the boiler after recent repairs were made
upon it, The report closes with a recon-
mendation that an ordinance be passed
