Although the police ana the Fire Department
do not accept the statement that there two
explosions before the fire started in the store
and hallway, cutting off all retreat to the hun
dred and hfty slecpers in the building II Is said
by some of the witnesses who on the scene
before the engines and police arrived that there
two distinct shocks before tho fire spread
through the halls to the rooms above
Most Of the dead and injured are women and
children. They evidently became hysterical when
the struggle for the fire escapes and roof began
Some OF them jumped from the windows and fire
escapes even when assistance was them
The warnings OF the hremen and rescuers 10 he
calm were not needed and many leaped to their
death. The crowd the vertical fire escapes
could not move along rapidly enough for the
stronger ones. and some OF the women v,era
pushed off into the street
In the report OF the fire made to the Tenement
House Department 1T found that while tho
laws regarding tenement house exits and fire
escapes were not violated. the door which should
be kept open into the yard fence In the rear OF
the house was nailed shut This however. was
not responsible for any loss of life But n was
shown that the vertical fire escape In a large
tenement house like the one at No. 222 IS of
little practical value in a big fire
An amendment to the tenement house act uart
into effect last year which obliges the use OF the
slant ladder fire escapes In all new buiId,nge II,
was learned yesterday at the Tenement House
department that attempts are made every day
10 avoid me obligations of the tenement house
act regarding fire escapes and proper fire exits
