Explanation Is Lacking.

However, Mr. Ashford has not yet at
tempted to explain fully the letter alleged
to have been written by him to Ritten.
house Bros, manufacturers, in Baltimore
which was made public by Mr.. Gibbs. In
this letter Ashford asked for prices. and
apparently goes on to advocate Washing'
ton as an excellent place to promote his
device, and suggests former employe OF
his office as a desirable individual to han.
die the work. In his letter Mr.. Ashford
does not specifically state In what city
this former emp!oye Will work, but he
does say that the individual in question
can furnish needed information.
Mr.. Ashford Maintained.
Mr.. Ashford maintained that he was re-
ferring to Baltimore throughout. and not
to Washington, as might be supposed
from the wording. 1t is upon this expla-
nation that the Commissioners have &C
cepted Mr.. Ashford's assurance that his
Intentions were good, 1t is said, by en-
ployes at the District building.
Identity Of 'Former Employee"
The former employee" of the building
department of the District referred to by
Mr.. Ashford in his letter to the Baltimore
company Is said to be Malcolm Crichton.
He Is brother-in-law Of Ashford and is
still employed by the District He has

law Mr.. Crichton is on the temporary
roll and his place was made vacant at
3 o'clock today.
In reference to the statement that he
said Ashford's patent was good thing
when he saw 1t on the Congressional Ho-
tel. Commissioner West remarked today
that he remembered some time ago driv-

with Commissioner Morrow and Bui ding

pointed out one of his fire escapes on the

that 1t was an ingenious CONTINUANCE Mr..
Ashford then stated that he did not

"sandbagged," Ashford Says.


Snowden Ashford inspector of buildings,
against whom serious charges have been
made by e. F. Gibbs, manager of the
Gibbs Fire Escape Company, to the eff
feet that Ashford has been using his
Office to advance his interest in a pat
ent fire escape, in speaking Of the action
to continue his commercial ente: prses,
declares that he has been "sandbagged'
by the Commissioners.
Il paid $500 for the patent to use the
escape; l worked on 1t and have gone to
additional labor and expense to promote
it outside of Washington Mr.. Ashford
said. and the Commissioners action sim
ply means that lose every cent have
staked In the enterprise, which l con-
slider unjust. The Commissioners have
Tor long time been aware of the fact
that l patented this escape, and my in
terest in it seemed agreeable to them
until the unwarranted protest from Gibbs
was brought to their attention by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. 1t was not my intention
to do any business in Washington that
might bring me any revenue, although
my patent has been placed on a number
of hotels and other places here. l In
tended to use 1t only outside of the Dis
trict.''
Approval Of Mr.. West.
In emphasizing the fact that the Com
missioners were aware of his enterprise
and approved of 1t, the way he alleges he
was conducting 1t, Mr.. Ashford said that
recently he was showing a party how
bis device was being used on the new
Congressional Hotel. Commissioner West
was among the party, and according to
Mr.. Ashford, the Commissioner was very
enthusiastic over 1t and said: you have
a great thing and should make something
out of it,
Mr.. Ashford says he has numerous let
tiers from architects and firms acknowl-
edging the use Of his Device without
charge. These communications, he claims.
are in the possession of the Engineer
Commissioner. He further says he has
other letters in the hands of the Engineer
Commissioner, which, when made public,
will throw much light on the matter and
will entirely relieve him from the init

WHY THE BILLS ARE UNPAID

New York. March 25.-Upton Sin
clair. father of the burnt out Helicon
hall colonfsts, resents the imputation
made by the coroner's jury at Engle-
wood Thursday night to the effect
that the moral ideas of the colonists
are advanced over those of the ex-
elusive residents Of the suburban
city. He said tonight, in defense of
his colony and himself, that the jury
called to investigate the death at tne
Helicon hall fire of Lester Briggs had
made unwarranted deductions from
the answers he had given them, and
had put to him questions assuming a
condition of morals which did not ex-
list among the colonists.
Mr. Sinclair made his statement
from his bed. He was found in the
Hotel Cumberland, under the care of
a trained nurse, and receiving the at.
tention of DR.. William Fisher Grier.
Mr. Sinclair's foot, which had been
cut and burned by hot cinders the
night of the fire mad become inflamed
so the physician said, and these pre-
cautionary measures had been taken
against blood poisoning. The head
eolonist had begun to use his foot too
soon, and now he must remain in bed
for several days.

cally as know how, that the Helicon
home colony was not free love COM

questioning of the coroner's jury
was recalled to him. "And you may
add that as well as the other mem
bers of the colony, resent the imputa-
ton cast upon us by the questions

night at the inquest in Englewood.

give the broad inference that our
morals were not what they should
have been and that we were living
