Escape, According to In

CRITICISED BY JURY
Declares 1t Should Be Amended
so as to Provide Better
Inspection

The jury in Coroner Burgess In
quest into the death Of James Law
and Walter Libbey, who lost their
lives In the fre which destroyed. the
five-story building at No. 81 Wood
bridge-st. east, March 19. brought In
q verdict, Saturday noon, that the
men met their death through negli
gence on their own part. In not trying
to escape with the other men from
Wilson & Shorts shop, on the NTH
floor.
The jury recommended. however
that the common council take meas
ures to frame Q new building code, OF
to amend the present code, to pro
vide for better inspection meshods.
This recommendation came largely
as the result Of the testimony, Satur
day morning, Of Merritt M. Hawk
hurst, state agent of the Niagara Fire
Insurance Co., OF New York, and sec
retary of the Michigan State Fire
Protection association, which has CO
operated with the state fire marshal
in the inspection Of structures In De-
troit.

nance is lax, and Its enforcement also
seems lax. to us on the other side

Homer Holden, of Greenfield; 10.
seph c. Cook, No. 160 Charlotte-ave.,
and other employees OF Wilson h
Short, testified as to their manner OF
escape. All said that they went down
the stairway leading to the fourth
fiOOr-a stairway that was always
dark, except on very light day. Cook
said he always had to feel his way
down. A Yale lock was on the door
at the foot Of the stairs. he said, and
once he had found the door locked.
II was not locked on this occasion. to
his knowledge.
Smoke and flames drove the men
back to the NTH floor, where they
broke windows and clambered onto
the fire escape, by which they made
their way, through the smoke, to the
ground.
"John Munger broke q window or
the west side" Cook testified. 81

Noted naturalists of Great Britain

tain crabs to find their way back al
most unbelievable distances TO their
birthplace and original feeding
grounds Sir Isaac Newton once de-
clared that with all his grand diseov-
cries he was nothing but child pick
ing sea shells from the beach by the
great ocean of truth. The students of
animal behavior, such as Professors
Jennings, Mast, Watson and others,
since this discovery of a "homing in

than ever of Newton's wisdom.
The scientific accounts OF the crabs

particular male and female of these
creatures, caught at Yorkshire, Eng
land, and transported to Skegness in
Lincolnshire, which crawled all the
way back to exactly the place they
had left.
Traps had been set in the place
where they were originally captured
and the shel1fish experts awaited with
great skepticism the results OF the I'M
usual experiment.
All Investigations of how and why
crabs migrate back to their home, as
in the case Of pigeons, have proved so
far fruitless.
