Americans for a Position.

Philadelphia, June 1O.-Although Daniel
J. Kelly. the Western sprinter. Is entered
In the Olympic games from the Irish
American Athletic Club. II IS by no
means certain that he will ever wear the
colors of that organization. Kelly did
not prove himself a wonder at the New
York indoor games. William l. Jones.
who IS fast becoming the most liberal
supporter Of athletics in the East. sent
Kelly 10 Philadelphia for six weeks TO
train az Franklin Field, under Mike Muir
ply.
Upon Kelly's return 20 New York he
notified Mr.. Jones that he would not ac-
cept the position he CIr. jones' had Of
fered him. as the Irish-Americah Ath-
letlc Club had promised him better one.
providing ne joined the club This he
agreed to DO, and signed the application
for registration. The application was
sent in 70 the A. A. L., and the Irish
Americans failed 10 provide Kelly with
his position. lie sought Mr. Jones. who
refused to have anything further to do

An official Statement.

In an official statement issued late yes
terday afternoon. Commissioner Morrow
clears the building department OF an,
negligence or charges that they had no
been attending strictly TO the supervision
OF buildings. He says:
"A notice was on the way 10 the
builder at the time OF the accident,
10 submit for approval plans for re-
enforcement and % reconstruct or
reinforce the walls of the basement
and first floor at once, or 10 suspend
operations above the fourth floor until
such plans were submitted and ap-
proved. and the reinforcement on these
approved plans had been constructed;
or i'm default Of the submission Of
such plans. 10 abandon the idea Of
extending the height Of the building"
~ n Poynton, in his report to MAJ
Morrow. states:
From a careful inspection of the
conditions at the building. made after
the dangerous walls had been remOv-
ed. I am Of the opinion that the col
lapse was the result Of either one or
both OF two conditions. Either the
centering used for holding the con-
crete floors were insufhciently braced
TO withstand the impact from ram
ming the concrete into place. or the
outer walls were green, and, conse-
quently bulged from the lateral pres
sure eXerted by the ramming Of the
concrete.
The walls in the angle where the
failure occurred are cut up into piers
by the Introduction Of oriel windows
on each street front, and this would
tend 10 concentrate the lateral pres
sure.
Il have instructed Mr.. Pickford
that he might have the debris remov-
ed, but that no further construction
work is to be done until after a care
ful inspection has been made by this
Office 10 determine accurately as to
the present condition of all walls and
floors -

In reply to the coroner, the foreman
told Of bulges in the brick work Of the

opinion as to the cause OF the collapse.
1t was the opinion of George Portch.

When the coroner asked him If the

Portch answered:
Mr. Reavis instructed me 20 save
neither time nor expense TO make the
building safe"
That he considered the building safe
and that the work was not carried on

was responsible for the setting Of the
