River" Without Detection.
District Attorney Cropsey, at the in
vestigation yesterday into the Diamond
Candy Factory fire that cost twelve
lives. brought out the fact that the
State Industrial Commission allows its
inspectors wide discretionary powers.
He also suggested that the commission
could increase its working appropria-
tion by more than $4,000 by compell-
ing its sixty-hve inspectors to pay Tor
their luncheons, instead of charging
them TO the city, as is now dcne.
Coroner Wagner opened the fourth
day of the inquiry by calling James NJ.
Lynch, chairman of the State Industrial
Commission. The District Attorney i'm
mediately took up the examination
where il ended Wednesday afternoon
by asking Lynch if he had succeeded IN
finding the missing original report OF
Inspector George A. Rosquist, IN which
Rosquist has testified he recommended
criminal action against the Diamond
concern for failure TO comply with his
orders to fireproof the stairway of the
factory building.
ordered the search for the missing docu-
ment TO be continued. He had made no
personal search, he said. Mr.. Cropsey
said Wednesday that the report would
show where the responsibility for fail
ure TO enforce the law lay.
For almost an hour Mr.. Cropsey
pounded at the Commissioner 20 learn
why he and his associates had not used
the discretionary power vested in them
10 compel all five-story factories TO
safeguard their stairs by inclosing pas
sageways in fire-resistng material.
Lynch said that befove the commission
could act il would be necessary TO place

In the East there is man who runs
a small ferry across one of the import

cents for a double one.
One afternoon, in the carly days OF
automobiling, a city party drove up &c
the ferry in a touring car and attempt
ed to go onto the boat, but was held
up by the captain, who told him to
wait. Finally, after the boat had cross
ed the river two or three times, the
motorist began to get impatient.

WOULD STOP BLOCKING.
linn Moore Thinks Base Runners
Should Be Helped.


Should Be Helped.
Jim Moore, who was a crack center
fielder more than twenty years ago.
still watches the baseball game. close
ly and at times expresses his opinion
regarding present day methods. One
of the things he objects to is the way
some catchers block base runners away
from the plate.
at is certainly Ridiculous he says,
'for burly catchers ike Chief Meyers
and Stanage with their legs protected
by shin pads TO sprawl ali over the
plate trying to prevent such little fel-
lows as Meanwhile and Maisel getting
home. Ii | were those midgets | would
take the high slide and spike the big
catchers on their fat heads. 1t is not
fair to smother the plate. for it does
not give the base runner any show at
all to get into the rubber, and it also
takes away from the game one of its
best features, and-tbat is base steal
ing
What is more exciting and interest
ing than TO see n man coming home
from second on base hit and sliding
into the plate on an eyelnsh play? II
the runner was not blocked off he
would be able to take a hook slide OF
head first dive. and prefer the lat
ter if the runner can throw his body
away from the touch and leave only
one hand to be tagged.
The blocking off. of sthird base
should also be stopped. for that, too
spoils sliding to some extent. In fact
anything that tends to decrease bass
stealing should be abolished and espe
cially the least attempt of a pitcher t.
make balk. EMPIRES should be or
dered to choke off that. If they don
they should be fired. There are stric
rules now TO prevent balks, but how
many umpires live up to them to thu

meeting at Baltimore in September,
when he won the 100 yard dash, run
ming high jump and go yard hurdle
race within an hour and half, looms
un as the most meritorious single
achievement of the year.
The versatility of the Loomis lad, to-
gether with the superlatiye ease with
which he performed and his freshness
after il was all done, stamps the
strong legged young Chicagoan as one
OF the greatest performers Uncle Sam
has boosted OF IN many and many
day. Loomis could have added the 22O
yard dash to his list handily had it not
interfered with his other events. He
is better at the furlong than at 100
yards, in which he outfooted some of
the best sprinters in the east with
much 30 spare.
The athletic experts who saw Loomis
perform at the national meet declare
thar finer all around performer in
the Sprints, jumps and hurdles has not
been seen since the days of Alvin
KraenZlein, the great University of
Pennsylvania athlete who was until
recently coach TO the German Olympic
candidates LOOMS amazing speed,
together with his great springing pow
er and his ability TO repeat again ard
again, make him appear as champion
in a thousand.
