Heavy Wind Pressure, Of
ficial Holds, Sufficient to
Cause Collapse.
BUILDING SUPPORTS
DECLARED VERY POOR
Blaze Would Be Hard to
Control if Structure
Caught Fire.

That the old fremont block, north
east corner Of Eighth and Main
streets, was likely to collapse at any
time and that, in addition, it was one
Of the worst fire-traps in the city,
was the statement made by Building
Inspector Hodgin today after he and
Fire Chief Miller had completed
thorough investigation Of the build
ing.
Inspector Hodgin, however, is with
out authority to order the building
torn down or vacated, such action
coming within the authority of the
state factory and building inspector.
The building was condemned some
time ago, but its removal or vacation
was never ordered.
'The fremont block is very dan
gerous building" Inspector Hodgin
said. after inspecting it. "An abnor
NAL wind pressure on it's roof is liable
at any time to cause it's collapse, be-
cause the supports are very poor and
the floors ready to drop whenever
subjected to extra strain
Building Shakes.
Hodgin also stated that while he
was standing on the third floor of the
building he tested the flooring by
jumping up and down. This caused,
he said, a greater part Of the build
ing to shake and elected the empha-
tic statement of Chief Miller that if
Hodgin desired to continue such
tests he hoped he would wait long
enough for the boss Of the fire depart
ment to get on the street and safe
distance from the building.
Hodgin says that if a fire should
start in the fremont block it would
be very difficult to handle because
of the danger Of it falling should the
blaze secure any headway. This dan
ger would make 1t extremely hazard
GUS work for the firemen to combat
the flames from within the building.
A blaze In the building would also
| spread rapidly because of the abso-
lutte lack of fire proof materials.
Loss Of Life Feared.
Should the building collapse there
undoubtedly would be a very great
; loss of life for every day, from early
in the morning until late at night,
| there are from fifty to two or three
hundred people in the big building
| Heirs of the E. G. Vaughan estate
have notified all tenants that they
must vacate the building by the first
of next September if at that time
the heirs SO desire such vacation
There have been frequent reports
that the building is to be sold and
! torn down to make room for a mod
ern office block, but the Vaughan
| heirs have never confirmed these re.
ports and the tenants are in ignor-
ance as to what the heirs intend to

SIC, 900. He was the originator Of the

Wreck on Michigan Central
Injuries Twelve Persons
Seriously.
ORDERS CONFUSED

JACKSON. Mich, Jan. 26.-Four
persons are known TO be dead and it
was believed that one more body may
be recovered and twelve persons were
seriously hurt as the result of last
nights wreck of Michigan Central
passenger train No. 30. which coIlided
head on with a freight train three
miles east of Jackson. Every passen-
ger in the smoking car which was COM
pletely telescoped, was either killed or
hurt.
The State authorities investigation
of the cause Of the wreck were handi-
capped by the fact that Cal Johnson.
engineer of the passenger train, was
killed, and John Bush, pilot OF the
freight train, was too seriously hurt
to make statement
Mrs. Walter Smith, although herself
injured. succeeded in shielding her ba-
by when the crash came, and the in
FAINT was not scratched. Carrying the
child in her arms Mrs. Smith searched
for several hours for her husband, but
became exhausted and was taken to a
hospital where she found that Mr..
Smith had been taken soon after the
wreck.
The collision apparently resulted
from a misunderstanding of orders. II
was said the freight train was sup
posed to take a siding to allow the pas
senger to pass. The wreck occurred
only q mile beyond the switch.
