Nv Associated Press.


New York, Jan. 11.-BetWeen $780,
100000 and $4oo,000,0o0 in cash and
securities were removed intact late to-
day from the vaults of financial in
stitutions whose quarters were de-
stroyed in the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society building fire Tuesday.
The vaults of the Equitable Trust Co.
alone yielded $500. 100000. which was
transferred to the cornpany's tempo
rary offices. Many millions more
were taken from vaults of the Mer-
camille Trust Co., of which $4,000, 900
was represented in q single box of
gold certificates.
There remains to be opened the
great vault of the Equitable Life As

$500, 600, 900 which was still buried so
deep today under tons of ice cemented
debris that the doors could not be
reached.

Of workers at the. fire was announced
this afternoon by the committee of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society.
"An official investigation of the
Equitable building fire reveals pretty
certainly that the disaster was caused
by the careless throwing away of a
match" reads the report submitted to
Mayor Gaynor today by Fire Commits
stoner johnson. "Our investigation
indicates" the report continues, that
the employees of the building discov-
cred the fire at 5:14 g. m. and that
they tried to fight the fire until 5:44
a. M, when a policeman turned in an
alarm. If the employees had called
upon the fire department promptly
am sure the fire could easily have
been extinguished.
