 Two to2s of chlorate of potash and ore ton of sulphur. it appears. were in the building occpuied by Tarrant x Co. Mir Rogers of Rogers & Pyatt. importers of gums. shellac and chem icals and manufacturers of varnishes. has admitted that his company had stored chlorate of potash with the Tar rant company amounting to something between one and two tonsy and pOssi- bly even more. though he could not say exactly without looking at his books. He continued:
 At any rate chlorate of potash in itself is not an explosive nor in any way dangerous chemical to store. I could. show you permit from the in- Spector of combustibles allowing us to carry in stock 20;000 pounds of chlo- rate of potash right in our own build ing hare''
 But if chlorate of potash is not compustlble or explosive. why should permit be nccessary?" was asked.
 o iSt. and cannot tell if chlorate of pot ash might combine with another in- gredl2nt 70 form an explosive. Some or 1t W. sell to fireworks companies. who mix it with sulphur and nitra te or strontlum to make red fire We had no shellac or gum or other com- bustlble merchandise in their house at the time of the fire.''
 Edmund D. Congdon, representing the Harshaw. Fuller & Goodwin Co Of Chicago. said:
 We had no chlorate of potash in store at the time. We had. however considerable chemicals that were in naf-llnable. among these ten 25O-pouud barrels Of sulphur. and I should say aoonf the same quantity of Burgundy pitcb.'
