NEGRO LOSES LIFE
UNDER CAR WHEELS
Up to Early Hour Body Had
Not Been Identified.

While lying on the tracks of the Wash
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis Rail
way, supposedly in a drunken stupor
last night, an unidentified negro, about
thfrty-five years old. was struck by a
car and instantly killed The motorman
and the conductor of the car were ar
rested and are locked up at the Ninth
precinct station.
They claim the car was going at a
speed OF not more than fifteen miles an
hour, and the man was not seen until
ii was too late to stop the car. which
was in the vicinity of Castle Park, about
two miles this side of the District line.
1t was west-bound.
The negro's legs were severed. His
body was thrown to the side of the
track, and badly mangled. Up to an
early hour this morning the police had
not made any progress toward identi-
fication. The accident occurred about
$50 o'clock.
The Washington herald., 1911-03-26

the rush OF women down the stairway
left dead, dying and cruelty trampled in
its wake. and at points the stairway was
fairly chOked with the dead.
Fire Chief Croker and his men did their
best, t were practically helpless against
the CeplOrable absence of safeguards over
human life. They found the sidewalks
Uttered with the dead when they ar
rived and women and men, hopeleSsly cut
off from escape and with the fire soaring
their bodies, flinging themselves headlong
from the windows.
Croker was not slow to fix the blame.
His face was drawn and his jaw firmly
set; he looked at the heaps of bodies
about where he stood and declared that
the lack of outside fire escapes was re-
spOnSible for the calamity.
Il have predicted and tried to avoid
just such a scene as this" he declared.
The building was not adequately equip
ped with fire escapes and this same scene
is likely to be repeated tomorrow or any
other day in the big Office and lofty build
ings in this city. The lives of the en-
plOyes in these big buildings are not
properly safeguarded and II the law does
not provide for their protection, the law
should be changeu. 1t is the most fright
full experience in my career as fireman.
1t is fearful chapter in the city's his

WILL SIFT SAFETY
OF LOFT BUILDINGS
Grand Jury to Investigate
''Fireproof' Piles.

New York, March C5.-An immediate re-
suit of to-day's disaster will be a grand
jury investigation OF the safety of all
loft and office buildings. Chief Croker
put this matter squareiy up to District
Attorney Whitman this evening in the
first words he said to the district attor-
ney after that official got to Washington
place and Greene street. Croker called
Judge Whitman to one side and told him
that the situation called for prompt ac-
tion.
Il predicted. said Chief Croker. that
this thing would happen, and l tell you.
judge, it will happen again il such So
made actually safe"
Croker waved his hand toward squads
of firemen that were busy lowering bodies
from the eighth. ninth. and tenth floors
to the sidewalk.
Look at that" said the chief. There's
the natural result of permitting 1000
girls to wedge themselves into a place
that is not provided with fire escapes.

They call such buildings as that fire

CATHEDRAL SCHOOL
HAS STRONG TEAM
Splendid Outlook for Episco-
pal Lads on Diamond.

On the present form of their BAN team
Cathedral School will have the strongest
nine that has ever been turned out Of the
Episcopal institution.
Coach Green has a large squad out
every day and with the material on hand
will whip a winning team together.
Green is very conservative and Is not ex-
pressing any opinion in regard to his
team. but it is safe to say that he thinks
very highly of them, as he has arranged
q very hard schedule ahead.
Cathedral is exceptionally strong in the
pitching department. Todd, the star
twirler of last years Western High
School team, is showing excellent form
and Will be able to take care OF the most
important of the games this season.
Beggs and Small, of the Cathedral team
of 1910, are again candidates for the box
job and these men will be good running
mates for Todd. This should prove to be
the strongest trio of twi7iers in scholastic
circles in the District
Rust, who did the receiving on last
years nine, is being depended upon to do
the bulk of backstoppiing again this
year. At the summer camp last year
Rust showed a remarkable Improvement
over the form he displayed while playing
in the Capital, and with the coaching of
Green should develop into a first-class
catcher.
The 'Merfk'' station is being looked
after by Davidson, the former star first
baseman and captain of the Tome InSti-
tute team. Besides being a fast man
and cOrking good fielde-, Davidson is a
holy terror with the stick.
Stone is doing good work at the mid
way sack and should D. a heady mate
for Capt. Crane, who will play the short
field. Crane plays his position well, and
his batting and speediness should rank
him among the leading stortstops in high
school circles.
a third baseman must be developed.
and Coach Green is devotiing a good bit
of his time to Robinson. who should
make a capable guardian of the third
sack
The outfield will be lockwood in CEN
ter. Prohattan in right and R Stone or
Robinson in left. These men will in all
probability make corkirg good Outfield
for the Episcopal School.
While Coach Green is not saying much
il is plain to be seen that he expects to
develop a rattling good nine. His plan is
to get together a team that is evenly
balanced in every department of the
game. Speed on the bases will be one OF
the Episcopal lads strong points
by Manager Todd. which includes a
Northern trip. The Cathedral School
opened the season by overwhelmingly
defeating the Army and Navy preps

NEGLECT AS
CAUSE OF CALAMITY
Fire Chief Croker Declares There Was Deplorable
Absence of Safeguards Over Human Life

New York, March 5-The cause of
this frightful calamity was official
neglect
Housing during the busy hours of the
day thousands of employees, this big and
high building was equipped with but
one narrow iron fire escape, and that in
the rear and leading into an almost blind
court.
An iron door, opening inwardIy, had
been placed at the head of the stair
way on the ninth floor by the Triangle
Company. When expensive material was
being handled on the ninth floor, where
100 women were employed, this door
was closed and no one could leave the
room without a superficial search. The
entire force had to undergo this scrutiny
of being searched. To-day when the
alarm was given there was a mad rush
for the stairway The iron door shut
ting of the stairway was closed and
sealed by the press of the struggling
mass of women against it. 1t was not
opened until many of the frightened
women had hurled themselves from the
windows or had tainted from fright
and were left to die in the flames
When by chance, rather than concerted
efforts. this diabolical trap was sprung

ADVERTISING TALKS.

JOHN LEE MAHIN, in
lecture before the pupils of the
Northwestern School of Com
merce, made a most interesting
statement.
He said that it cost an aver
age of 5 CENTS PER FAM

this basis, he said, it would cost
to sample the homes in Chicago
the equivalent of the cost of
nearly % full pages of advertis-

Have YOU any doubt which
plan would produce the GREAT
Err result?
Every family in Chicago reads
a daily newspaper, and thou
sands of families outside of Chi

floors. After the big shirt-waist strike
most OF the Jewish women who had been
employed previously were discharged or
did not come back to work, and Italian
Irish. and Greek women were substituted
for them.
There seemed to have been an explosion
of some sort, which produced a great deal
of smoke suddenly, and gave the fire a
rapid start. That resulted almost in
stantly in a panic, everybody rushing
pell-mell for the stairways and the two
elevators that were in use at the time.
