fourth and fifth floors Of the Fish
building as high as twenty, later and
more thorough investigation indicates
with considerable certainty that
there were but sixteen. Two Of these
escaped with their lives, which leaves
but two more to be accounted for.
The search was abandoned, following
report of Chief Building Inspector
John A. Short, who declared that
three of the walls, inside Of which
the rescuers we're working, were in a
dangerous condition. If these are
still standing in the morning the
work Of removing the debris will be
resumed.
A coroner's jury, which was en-
panelled this afternoon, viewed the
charred and mutilated exhibits at the
morgue, but the inquest was post
poned until April 2.
Leo Stoecel, clerk Of the Fish
company, who by accident is said to
have started the fire, told his story
to Fire Attorney Frank Hogan this
afternoon. Although Stoeckel, who
is but 20 years Of age, is admittedly
more unfortunate than crlpable, At
torney Hogan says that he will bring
some charge against the young man
to insure his attendance at the in
quest.
Stoeckel was brought before the
fire attorney with his hand, which
had been burned, swathed in band
ages. He appeared heart-broken,
and told his story with difficulty.
"About 4 As P. NJ" " Stoeckel said
"Mr. Mitchell, who is member of

lighters, and told me to go to the

gallon can and was working on the
third, when there was an explosion.
A sheet of fame almost blinded me,

pened after that. I did not fully re-
gain my senses until l had reached
the street. The lighters contained a
contrivanee to make spark, but
whether I ignited one Of them or not,

Ten women and girls, it is said,

Of the flames was almost instanta-

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Elklns.
chairman OF the interstate commerce COM
mlttee, moved to take up the administra-
ton railroad bill IN the senate today. The
motion prevailed and the consideration of
the bill, was proceeded with.
Previous to the taking up OF the bill In
regular order, today Senator Dixon Of
Montana presented an amendment making
1t unlawful for carriers TO charge more
for short than for long hauls.
The first vote taken was on Senator
Heyburn's amendment, creating a court for
the consideration Of questions growing out
of the disposal Of the public lands. The
provision was voted down, "a to z.
The senators from the public lands states
generally voted for the provision. but the
eastern senators, regardless of party voted
against It, as rule.
EIkins offers Amendments.
The senate then entered upon the con-
sideration of>the bill proper Mr.. Elkins
offered bwo amendments to the commerce
court provision, specifically comforting on
the court the jurisdiction IN railroad cases
now exercised by the United States circuit
courts
Mr.. Cummins presented a substitute pro-
viding that the jurisdiction OF the proposed
court should not be different from or
greater than that Of the circuit courts"
Mr. Aldrich- made an appeal to the Iowa
senator to permit action on the Elkips
amendment, as in the line Of perfeeting
the bill in accordance with the ideas Of the
Interstate Commerce commission.
Mr. Cummins said he had doubt as to
whether in reality the EllSns amendments
represented the views of the commission.
A running debate, which was largely
technical in character. ensued. The dis
eussion was participated in by. Senators
Cummins and Clapp on the one side and
by Senators Aldrich, Elkins and Sutherland
on the other.
Mr.. Cummins again presented his amend
ment as originally offered. A third roll
call was ordered, with the result that the
provision went the way of its predecessors,
but the difference in the vote was some
what less pronounced. It stood S6 to 2S.
The Elkins amendment was then voted
in without division.
