Washington. May 22--Captain Henry A
Castle, auditor for the DOstof1ce depart
ment and Comptroller TracewelI of the

ter General Payne today regarding the
poStoffice investigation. Mr. Ira eweli

lie tomorrow Postmaster General Payne
today declined, with some warmth, to say
whether the circumstances surrounding
the deficit in the free delivery service
warranted the removal of Mr.. Machen,
the general superintendent, who was re-

his opinion the question was impairment.
He was questioned by the newspaper cor
respondents regarding the discrepancy. be-

every direction. The top Of the build
Z ing fell upon the roof of the barber
shop. The front part was filed with
brick and other debris.
Proprietor King and his four BARRIERS
barely escaped with their lives. Mr..
King was in a bath tub in the rear
when the crash came. The BARRIERS
were seated about a stove in the same
part OF the building. This was all that
saved them. Hearing a warning shout
ed to them by a policeman outside, the
FIVE men ran out the back way. They
had barely gotten out when the roof
was crushed in like an eggshen.
Fortunately there was no one in the
front part, or undoubtedly they would
have been crushed TO death. The fit
tings of the saloon and shop were
wrecked. All that was left Of the two
story structure was a pile OF debris
that partially filled the barber shop
and blOCkaded the sidewalk.
Building Badly Wrecked.
The saloon was owned by Gregory
& Groshel and their loss is estimated
at about 500. Mr.. King of the barber
shop could not tell Just what his loss
VIII be. Mayor Thompson, who owns
both buildings, places his loss at about
So 000- He stated that the barber shop
would be reftted. but that he did not
think he would erect another building
on the site of the saloon at present.
The collapse is attributed to the rain.
The roof of the Scotia building to the
east Of the saloon touched the east wall
Of the latter just above the first floor.
There was no gutter to carry off the
drainage from the roof. The constant
soaking of water from the roof into the
adobe wall is said to be responsible for
the crumbling and falling Of it. The
Scotia building has been condemned
several times. The mayor stated that
he had tried upon several occasions TO
get the owners to place a gutter at the
edge of the roof.
The destroyed building is a historic
landmark Of the town 1t was erected
in the sixties" It was the first Office
of the Salt Lake Tribune, and was the
home Of that paper for many years.
Where Flood Was Worst
It was in the district below Sixth

around to Third South street in the
western part of the city, that the flood
was most felt For several hours al
most this entire section was inundated.
