reason for supposing there were any
persons In the fire and considering
that the fire had its origin i'm the
upper stories and therefore was
working upward, would good fire di-
rcctiOn and management under these
circumstances, that is no one was be-
lieTed to be in there, require sending
the men into the building!
A. don't think that l would have
done so, knowing, as did, something
about the building, that it was an old
building.
Q. Is if considered good direction and
management of fire to hazard the
lives and limbs of firemen to save, not
other human lives. but building only?
A. don't think so. I never do.
Termed Bad Judgment.
To further questions, the chief said
he could suggest no substantial rea-
son for sending men into the fire
and that doing so was an exhibition
OF bad Judgment.
Q. AS the chief of the department, ar
irving at tho scene as you did and when
YOU did. would the discipline of the seTv-
ice or proper Judgment in advising the
head of the department as to conditions
there require that 1t be reported to YOU
promptly that a company of men was in
that building?
A. It should have been, because there
was no way for me to see. The hose
was covered with water and the smoke
was thick.
Q. AS a matter of fact, no such report
was made to you?
A. No. sir.
70 further questions. the chief reiter-
sted that II was 4 grave error of iudg-
ment 10 send the men in. He said the
fist alarm was sounded at 1:4S a. M.
the second three minutes later, and he
responded on the second minute and
q half after il was struck. Earlier In
his testimony the chief had said he
should have been advised that No. 8 was
in the building, because there was no
way for him to see. as the hose was
covered with water and the smoke was
thick Still earlier he said that Chief
Sullivan was lust placing companies
when ne arrived.

number of questions as to the location
or the fire, as to the floor, where 1t
| originated and whether it would burn
upward.
Chief Wagner said it was on the sec
end and third floors and would burn up
ward. He would judge it started on the
second floor.
The chief testified that when he ar
rived he had said the building was
doomed. He told of the collapse and
how the roof fell. The Commissioner
asked how long after the crash came
and under what, circumstances he had
entered the building. The chief ans
werCd:

was quite a long time. The fire was

This statement does not refer to the

ticularly true Of the four following
teams, who would give a right eye to
escort the SherWoods out Of the race
in the capacity Of runner-up.
Nationals, Bankers, Arcadians, and
Holmeads have all been dangerously
near to the throne during the race
which started early in october, but they
have all contented themselves with a
chance to finish second, and each is
willing to do anything this side of mur-

end.
Arcadians have been hitting nothing
but the high spots since the holidays
and they threaten at any minute to DIS

two have two games lead on GULL s

that margin or stand still and be over

Although Royals have been having

speedy run in the District League, their
sudden rush is not going to win the
pennant in that circuit. They have won
two more games and lost one more than
