was fixed in the hope that the vaults
may be opened in time for obtaining
these securities early tomorrow.
The Clearing House Association con
tinued it's business in the chamber OF
commerce temporary ofnces.
A reflection of the effect upon busi-
ness during tho preceding day was
shown by the fact that the total ex~
changes were only s25l.oo0,0oo or
about $100,00o.o00 less than the re-
suits of Mondays bushes.
G.. w. Batson, the Hartman bio
grapher. assured the reporters thar
the biography OF the late railroad IL
nancier had been saved. He said that
this and other personal papers We're
long ago removed to other places and
that the security holdings Of the Isfn-
lily were in the vault OF the Mercan-
tile Safety Deposit vaults. Mrs. Harri-
man during the day expressed the be-
lief that the securities would be re-
covered intact after receiving reports
from several officers who mad been
permitted to enter the building by the

Chiefs Body Not Found.
The hunt for the body of Battalion
Chief Walsh was without avail. Fire
men believe that he was carried down
under mass of debris, and that tons
Of ice are now lying above ntna.
During the day Chief kenlon is
sued a statement showing that the
cost to the city of lighting this fire.
was $4,000 for two days. Apparatus
valued at $4,000 was utilized in the
fight and 100000 gallons Of water
we're poured into the building.
At the opening session of the Are
Marshalfs inquiry into the cause Of
the fire today. Phillip O'Brien, time
keeper or the cafe SavHrtn, provided
the possible explanation of the start
ing of the fire. He admitted that he
tossed aside a lighted match, with
which he ignited the gas. at 6 o'clock
Tuesday morning. and was sure 1t
fell on the concrete floor outside the
room" But he further admitted that
minutes later, he discovered fire In a
waste basket that had spreak to a
desk.
AS the details OF the disastrous loss
began to be cleared up 1t becomes ap-
parent that the most significant losses
may be those that fell to law hrfns
and individual clients, who were in
VOWED In vital litigation. Unlike the
banking firms. these attorneys were
not supplied with fire proof vaults.
They as rule. kept their valuable
papers In steel fling cases, or In or
binary office safes. II il believed by
the firemen who penetrated to the in
terror of the Quilted building that the
contents of these great law firms have
been wiped out. Consequently these
losses may prove most embarrassing
to important clients.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. ie,---it was
learned tonight that Francis HoHle.
representing Evelyn Nesbit Thaw.
contemplates presenting before tht.
Common Pleas Court ~ Allegheny
county n petition asking the appoint
mont of a commission in lunacy to
decide the present mental and legal
status Of Harry n. Thaw, now con-
itned in Natteawan Asylum.
In applying for the appointment Of
such IA commission, 1t viii he alleged
lay Mrs. Thaw that her husband is
nov insane. and the legal basis for
her action rests upon the fact of his
residences In Pittsburg. whore his es-
tate was put through bankruptcy
some three years ago, This Is the
first time In the history of the rele-
brated Thsw case when the volun-
tary action Of his wife may make
possible. In case his sanity is proven.
his release from confinement
When seen tonight MIR. Rowle was
asked whether an action WAS con-
templated He said: Yes. a petition
for commission In iunacy is con-
templated The right tn ask for the
appointment of such a committee
rests on the allegation that Harry X.
Thaw, legally doniciled In Pittsburg.
is now insane.
Income Not Affected.
There Ia no contra%ention of any
decision of the New York courts in
this action. / understand that Mr.
Thaw has a yearly income OF some
$4,000, which was secured to him
by his fathers VIII, and which was
made intangible Ito his creditors In
any possible event Of bankruptcy
proceedings. While such proceedings
We're begun some three years ago, I
believe that while his private estate
is about to be wound up, the yearly
income is unaffected"
Asked about the motive behind the
presentation Of petition, Mr.. Kowie
said
Il can only say that we seek the
appointment of commission in
tunacy. represent Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw alone in the action.

Whether the mother Of Harry Thaw

possible her husbands release. is Ct
point which her attorney refuses to
