confidence, and he said:
81 have been over the ground carefully and can tell you in advance
what these witnesses will develop, because have talked with every one
of them in detail. have examined the situation at the building, and my
purpose now is to get in the sworn record the things that have been told
10 me on the ground, and the things have seen for myself.
1.-The fire started, without any question, from a cigar
cite or a match thrown into a pile Of lawn chppings-hght
cotton sutton the Greene street side OF the building.
There was no gasolene about the place, so far as can
learn. The power for the ma chinery was furnished by
electric motors.
THE fire started at 4.4o o'clock. Samuel Bernstein and a boy got
the hose and tried TO fight it for a minute and a half.
1.-THE alarm was not turned in for five minutes, the register showing
that it came at 445.
While Bernstein was fighting the fire, Brown was trying to get the
girls in line to march to the fire escape and to the elevator doors. But the
poor things, in most cases, understood only fiddish and did not know
what Brown meant when he was talking to them. The confusion arising
from difference in language was something tense and terrible.

The official investigation attracted n large crowd to Fire Headquarters,
and the witnesses were given plenty OF room to put in the record the things
upon which the Marshal based his oncial conclusion.

The Ginger Chap.
There is always something doing
for the energetic chap
Who has put little ginger in his
shoes;
For the twiddler and the fiddler
Fortune doesn't care a rap.
Nor for switchmen who are al
ways on the snooze! ,.h
It's the man who bright and early
can be settled on the job.
With brain alert and jaw of steel
and square,
Who will find fair Fame attaching
medals to his little fob
Where they hustle, Luck is never
far from there
Sure, the world is full of sluggards,
but they have their purposes too
For they teach the Ginger Chap
what to avoid!
And the weaklings who were never
known to push a project through
They are Morals for the Ginger
Unalloyed!
Every bug that's known to scurry
has his usefulness in life
Every Sleeper makes some
body else enthuse;
But the man who plucks the cher
ries when the tales of drouth
are rife
Is the Chap who puts some GIN
ger in his shoes.
We are brothers all - just brothers
and the world is mighty sweet
To the man whose heart is in fra
ternal grip;
And we get our strength. we strong
ones, from the weaker ones
we meet
From the ones we catch. per-
chance, when they would slip.
So as onward we are pushing, let
us stop a little while
Where the weary faint. and heart
felt fear to lose
Just to lend a hand to others put
some sunshine in the smile
OF the fellow with the ginger in
in his shoes.
