PERIL Turks IN BUILDINGS
Binghamton Disaster May Be
Repeated Here, Says Report.

According TO Investigations made by
the Heights OF Buildings Commission, a
disaster far worse than the recent Bing-
hamton fire may occur at any time In
Manhattan because of the hazardous fire
conditions among the citys loft build
ings, department stores and office build
ings.
The commissions report declares in
flammabe partitions change a fireproof
building into n very unfireproof one, and
that they also seriously interfere with
the ready escape of the workers in case
of fire. The report also states:
Automatic sprinklers were found in
only 12S shops; chemical extinguishers
were found in 1876 shops; 375 shops did
not even contain a fire bucket. Only n
small percentage of the buildings were
provided with standpipes and hose The
hose provided was. as a rule, in a useless
condition.
VERY few VI the shops in the cloak
industry were found to have more than
one stairway and that usually Of wood
or stone. The 1873 shops contained 1851
stairways A total Of 1.452 stairways
were made OF wood and stone-742 OF the
former material and 40 OF the latter
THE Railways in So of the loft build
ings measured less than three feet In
width.
"Three-fourths OF the buildings had
only one fire escape In GO buildings there
were no fire escapes at all. The number
Of fire escapes in the LBS shops was l. $50
Experience has repeatedly proved that
elevators cannot be relied upon as exits

POLICE TO DEFY COURT
FOR GAYNOR'S CURFEW
Detectives Say They Will Not
Permit Sale Of Food
After Closing Hour.
RIGHT OF ENTRY DEFENDED
Lawyer for Healy's Says Men
Who Elected Patrons of
Restaurant May Be
Liable to Arrest.

Tho decision OF Justice Zeller, Of tn.
Court of Special Sessions. with which
Justices Russell and Herman concurred
deciding that restaurants having liquor
licenses might sell food to patrons during
the hours in which the sale of liquor was
prescribed, provided the bars were closed,
will be ignored by the police, 1t was an.
nounced yesterday at the office OF Acting
Police Commissioner Mckay.
Detectives at the West 6Sth street sta.
ton said that IL Heaiy's restaurant tried
TO keep open after closing hours again
they would not act as they did early yes
terday morning and order out the diners
but would make arrests.
1.-THE Mayor is our boss. and not the
Court OF Special Sessions" said one Of
the detectives. THE Mayor says no res
taurants where liquor Is sold shall re-
main open after o'clock In the morning,
and that goes. And If we go 70 Healys
again we won't walt until 2 o'clock. as
we did this morning. but well close him
I'D tight sharp at o'clock. and the neI,
time therelI be some arrests
When the police entered Healys. at 18th
street and Columbus avenue, yesterday
morning, they were met with protests
from the manager. Patrick Kyne, who
reminded them that only twelve hours
before the justices OF Special Sessions
had unanimously decided against similar
action on the part of the police, and had
dismissed a case against Healys This
decision was the result OF a test case
brought by the police against Thomas
Healy, the owner OF the place, for serving
food after hours.
The police retorted that the decision
made no difference TO them, and they
proceeded to order the dozen or so diners
out OF the place, saying they would use
force IL necessary.
In defending this action II was said at
Acting Commissioner McKay's Office yes
terday that the police had right 10
enter any place where liquor was sold. at
any time and eject patrons at their own
discretion.
THE police have complete right to enter
such places and enforce the law as they
understand IT," II was said az Mr.. Nc
Kay's office, land they'll go on doing H.
We shall not appeal from the findings Of
the Court OF Special Sessions. but shall
probably defend any adverse action
brought under that ruling
". Edward Kelly. counsel for Thomas
Healy. characterized the latest action Of
the police against his client as an anar-
chistic and unjustihable act, Of official
oppression.
Mayor Gaynor," he continued, rs
fond OF prating about law and order. He
said this was q government Of laws, and
not OF men. II he is sincere as well as
consistent In his declaration, why does
he permit mis- police 70 enter a restaurant
and attempt 10 close II in defiance OF the
rulings OF three justices OF the Court Of
Special Sessions?"
Mr.. Kelly said that II the police had
violated Section sA OF the Penal code In
closing up Healys. every policeman who
took part in the proceedings made HIM
self liable 20 arrest.
