Chicago, June 11.-Today's investi-
cations of the causes and responsible
ity for the catastrophe at the sani-
tarium of the st. Luke society, reveals
it was declared, much negligence on
the part of the officials of the sanitar-
iam and the city.
Out of the mass of conflicting state
ments, concerning the disaster, one
fact stands prominently forth. Had
the city officials performed their duty,
the frightful loss of life would have
been prevented.
This is admitted by the officials
themselves, who endeavor, however,
to shield themselves by shifting the
responsibility upon some department
with which they are not connected.
The health department, officers Of
the building commissioner and the
boiler inspector are inolved in the
charges of criminal carelessness and

To- fix the blame. AS for the officers
of the st. Luke society, they will be
