JURY DOESN'T FIX BLAME
st. Louis Fire Disaster Responsibility
Not Placed.

81. Louis, AiarDn "A coroner S
jury that investigated the death OF
thirty persons in the Missouri Athlete
club fire two weeks ago did not tx
the blame for the disaster. The re
sponsibility could not be fixed, the
jury reported. because the city or
dinances did not provide for the regu
lation of buildings used for clubs.
Whether the fire started from a cig.
aret thrown among the draperies o..
the dining room or from defective elec
trio wiring the jury could not de
termine.
The jury reported that the following
conditions prevailed at the building:
The fire escapes we're inadequate: !:
wooden doors led to the enclosed fire
escape from various floors; doors at
the entrances of elevators had been
removed, reducing the efficiency of Tn,
elevators in case OF fire; the only stair.
way in the building was of wood; the
building was of improper construction
for sleeping purposes.
