the Door of Mr..
Murphy

ALBANY. n. Y, July 2s.-Governor
sulzer, after characterizing the Bing-
hamton fire as terrible catastrophe,
declared in a statement today. that the
people OF the state will hold Mr. MUIR
ply Of Tammany hall responsible"
1T is a sad commentary on the
present condition of the state labor
department. which is tied up so that
it can not execute the laws on the
statute books to prevent these TRACE
dies says the statement.
The fact Is that Mr.. Murphy will
not permit his senate to confirm the
nomination of John Mitchell or James
NJ Lynch for state labor commissioner,
not that he can say 7anYthing against
these men, who are qualified to do the
work, but because he can not make me
name his man for the position.
In a formal statement issued tonight
State Fire Marshal Ahearn declares
that If the windows and fire escapes
of the factory which burned had been
protected in conformity with directions
by Inspector Kerrigan of his depart
ment.ewho made a recent inspection OF
the building, the catastrophe might
have been avoided. The statement fol-
lows
Inspector Kerrigan of this depart
ment had been in Binghamton for some
time making inspections, and had OBJ
served that the fire escapes we're not
made use of during drills and had made
&C mplaint about it. He was at0he fire
yesterday and reports thati if the win
dows had been protected by wire glass,
as required under the labor laws. the
employees could have ma de their way
