New York. March 27.-Dozens of in
vestigators, representing the city ana
state. today collected every scrap or
information available regarding the
loss of 1z2 lives in the Washington
square fire Saturday. The grand jury
men turned their personal probers and
an additional grand jury in formal
resolution presented to the court OF
GENERAL sessions offered to aid the dis
trtct attorney, who declared some one
should be prosecuted for the disas-
ter.
The searchers found evidence that
the doors at the exits swung inward;
that the only FIRE escape was block
ed by iron shutters when they open
ed; that the water tank on the roof
was empty and that the practice pre-
vailed among the cutters Of lighting
cigarettes a few minutes before quit
ting time,
All this and what Is yet to be ferret
ed out win be placed before the grand
fury for action. Fire Marshal Beers
was summoned. the proprietors o. the
Tr1nax1e Waist Company and several
employees to testify at q public tnves-
flgation. largely to enquire Into the
truth Of reports that the doors leading
70 the fire escapes were blocked.
-As far as we can discover" he said,
there has never been q fre drill in
this factory. Ny opinion is 1t would
take seven hunderd girls three hours
to reach the street by one IRE escape
from this building. Nine-tenths Of the
employees did not speak English, and
yet we could find no sign in Yid-
dish or Italian pointing to the IRE ex-
its."
The marshal said he was convinced
that a cigarette thrown into heap OF
clippings started the fire.
The relief fund for the sufferers is
KsSaed By . Ave thousand donation
from Andrew Carnegie and several
charitable organizations came with Of
fers Of aid.
Thirty-three bodies. most Of them
shorn Of all semblance OF human form,
lie unidentified tonight in the morgue.
while twelve persons. most of them
girls In their teens, are fighting for
their lives in hospitals. The unidenti-
efied win be buried in q single grave.
The final figures place the list Of dead
at 142. One hundred and thirty three
bodies were taken from the scene Of
the disaster and eight died in hos
pitals. The list viii be swelled, sur
geons say, by others with no chance
Of recovery.

NO PARDONS
FOR BANKERS
EXECUTIVE cLEMENcY WILL NOT
BE EXTENDED TO cHAREs w.
MORSE AND JOHN r. WALSH,
CONVICTED BANKERS.
BY Associated Press.

washington, March 27.-Executive
clemency will not be extended at pres
ent to Chas. w. Morse, the New York
banker, or John r. Walsh, the Chicago
banker. who are serving fifteen and
five years, respectively, In federal pen
itentiaries, the former at Atlanta and
the latter at Leavenworth.
The president has had before him
for several weeks applications for
clemency in both cases, and the de-
partment of justice has made an ex-
haustive investigation into the evidence
presented at the trials of the two
bankers and inquired into their physi
cal condition. From sources close to
Taft it is learned today he will follow
the recommendation of Attorney Cen
eral Wiclxersham who, 1t is understood
had recommended that inasmuch as
Walsh will be paroled under the new
federal law in September, justice will
be better served If clemency is not ex-
tended to him.
In the case of Morse, Il Is understood
the attorney general is averse to i'm
mediate relief but has recommended
that II communication should be so as to
make the sentence expire in five years
that in that event Morse would be re-
leased after serving three years aud
eight months, which includes an allow
ance for good behavior. An official
statement was issued by the depart
ment of Justice today, declaring the
reports that Morse is in critical con-
dition are without foundation.

IN DEFENSE OF CocA-coLA

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 27.-The
hearing of evidence for the defense in
the coca-cola case was resumed In the
federal court today and DR.. r. A Wit
thaas, Of New York, testified that he
had never heard Of a death resulting
from the use Of caffeine. Effects of
caffeine, which is found in coca cola,
when adminisuatered to animals would
not furnish conclusive result as to
it's effects on man, he said. Caffeine
was not, he declared, habit-forTning
drug.
He admitted authorship OF a book
on toxicology containing a table re-
porting thirteen cases of caffeine poi
son in nine years but explained this
was a quotation from Colbert, a Ger
man scientist.
DR.. n. c. Wood, Jr., of Philadelphia,
made series OF experiments on frogs
to ascertain the effects OF caffeine on
the muscles. He came to the conciu-
sion. he said. that caffeine caused an
increase of the action without In
creasing the amount Of energy con-
sumed. The cross examination de-
veloped nothing new.

pEATH PROOF BUILDINGS

New York, March 27.-"Give US not
merely fire proof. but death proof

nicipal slogan as a result of the Wash

afternoon in which nearly 150 persons
lost their lives.
The slogan was coined by Fire Chief
Croker as summing up his recommen-
dztions for the future. The entire ma
tion, he declared, will learn q lesson
from Saturdays fire such as 1t has
learned only twice Of late years-on,e
when the Collinwood, Ohio. disaster
taught the necessity of adequate fire
protection In school buildings. and
Sgzin when the Iroquois theatre fire in
Chicago taught the same lesson for

lection for their lives and persons.
