Inspector William DinkeIacker De-
CIares HeIs Ignored by Both Con-
tractors and School Board.
NOT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
Says Bull Pine Is Used for Floor In
stead Of HemIOCk- Walls Not
Built up TO Floor Beams.

hundreds of children are to assem-
Bile every day, to be so constructed.
AS 1t is now, with the walls not built
up to the top of the floor beams, a
fire starting In one room could
readily spread to all parts Of the
building once the blaze got between
the ceiling, and the floor of the room
above. The specifications say that
all walls must be built up to the
floor of the room above. This has
not been done.
Then the concrete on the corridor
floors is not according to specifiea-
tions In the first place, the cinders
were not screened, although the
specifications say they should be.
There are also too many cinders in
proportion to cement.
The specifications say that the
walls should be we'll bedded and
slushed. This has not been done.
They are not slushed.
The specifications call for two
anchor bolts for each stone at the top
of the chimneys. No anchor bolts
have been put in the chimneys at all.
The plaster for the interior walls
the specifications say, should be mix
ed according to the manufacturers
directions. These directions call for
600 pounds of sand to 500 pounds of
cement. This is in the proportion
of two to one. In some places the
mixture has been three parts sand to
one part cement
Where the specifications say that
lintels should be ten inches over the
windows and doors, they are, In
places, but six and four inches.
tORDINARY BULL PINE HAS
BEEN PUT DOWN FOR FLOORING
WHEN THE SPECIFICATIONS
CALL FOR FIRST QUALITY
WORKED HEAILOCK.
sOutsfde sheathing should be of
ten inch first quality hemlock where
as SIX INCH BULL PINE HAS
BEEN SUBSTITUTED.
Window frames call for first
quality clear white pine on the face.
They are not according to specifica-
tions
The window glass should be
double thickness according to the
plans. yet single glass has been fur
nished throughout"
/ Mr. Dinkelacker says there are
still things that he does not care
about mentioning at present, but
which he can readily point out If any
question is raised. Mr.. DinkeIacker
admits that there are occasions when
alterations have to be made in speci-
fications during the construction of a
building, but he says that many of
the alterations that have been made
in this case are entirely uncalled for.
The inspector feels it his duty to lay
these facts before the public as the
building is being erected for the pub
lie SO that all may know what they
are getting. Whether any further ac-
tion will be taken remains to be
seen.

MAY HAVE LING
ON LONG ISLAND
Letters Written by Elsie
SigeI Show She Was De-
voted to Both Cinnamon.
SENTIMENT THE SAME
Told Chu Gain Not to Worry
About Her Attention to
Leon Ling.
SENTIMENT THE SAME

6pSCtQt OV ONt6U kST0SS WHS,
New York, June 25:-After long
chase through the fields near New
town, beyond Long Island City, a
Chinaman today was arrested as a
Sigel murder suspect. He was ar
raigned In the Flushing police court
to await the officers arrival who may
identify him as Leon Ling. The
Queens police are excited over the
arrest.
Actual evidence that Elsie Sigel
was actually in love with Ling, but
that later she turned from him and
bestowed her affections on Chu Gain,
a Chinese restaurant keeper, has
been brought to light by the police,
who have found letters written by
the girl to both men.
Through the letters the willingness
of an American mother for her daugh-
ter to make an alliance with China
man is shown with such clearness as
to- leave no doubt about the social
basis upon which the orientals were
received and entertained at the Sigel
home.
In her letter to Ling, who is believed
by the police to have strangled her,
she says she win never give him up,
and, although her mother objected to
her writing, she wanted to see Leon.
The letter reads:
My Dear Willie-I am writing this let
ter while mother is away from home. She
would not let me If she knew about Il.
Don't think. Willie, that l will ever give
you up. win always remember the good
times we have had together. Please let
me know II | can see you soon and how.
With love. ELSIE.

Serious charges are made by Will
liam Dinkelacxer, the inspector on
the new central grammar school be-
Ing erected In Barrack street He
says that In spite of the fact that he
has condemned much Of the material
that has been put in the buildings,
and that the work, in many instances
has not been done according to
specifications, his protest is ignored
absolutely by the contractors who
continue to do about as they please,
and he can get little satisfaction
out Of the members Of the Board of
Education who are directly respon-
Hible for the erection of the building.
Mr.. Dinkelacker Is a carpenter by
trade. He says when he was asked
to be inspector on the building he
was told that he was wanted be-
cause 1t was believed he could be
depended upon to see that the city
would get exactly hat 1t was pay
ing for. H says he accordingly ac-
cepted the appointment of inspector
with the understanding that ne was
to see that the specifications were
complied with.
Il was assured by those having

Some Irregularities.

elacker, there are the walls that the
specifications say must be built up to
