MAYOR SEEKS GUILTY
FOR SUBWAY COLLAPSE
New York Officials Believe Negligence
Caused Death of Seven and
Injury of 100.

New York. Sept. 22-Seventh avenue
from point 200 feet north of Twenty
third street to Twcnty-fifth strect-was
transformed today into an arena of death
when a dynamite blast weakened the
temporary roadway over the new subway
excavation and plunged the whole struc-
ture- into ~fhe cut. At least seven are
dead. More than 1Oa were injured The
death list probably will grow.
The roadway went down with a crash
Of splintered timbers that could be heard
for miles. 4 trolley car. jammed with
workers. a huge auto truck, several push
carts. and scores of pedestrians sank into
the chasm. Three gas mains broke
belching poisonous fumes. The pit was
thirty-five feet deep
The mayor. district attorney, public
service commissioners. and city depart
ment heads began what they declare
will be the most rigorous probe in the
city's history. That there was negli-
gence Is certain. A search for the
blast foreman is being conducted by
the police department. The strength
of the dynamite charge cannot be as
certained until the apprehension of the
blast foreman.
IF the snoring was weak, the re-
sponsibility rests upon the company
and the Public Service Commission
for falling to properly inspect" said
Coroner Fienberg. Both are then
guilty Of criminal negligence"
f. A. Little, general manager of
the United States Realty and Improve
ment Company, declared the snoring
was unusually strong.
He added.
Our engineers are absolutely at a
loss to explain this thing. We know
our snoring was heavier and more
systematic than that on similar work
anywhere in the city"

Governor Carlson.
Denver.-The civil service bill, the
passage of which involved one of the
sharpest contests that took place in
the Twentieth General Assembly, was
signed by the governor Monday. It
will become operative in ninety days.
The law abolishes the present Civil
Service Commission and all civil
service rights and eligible lists Gre
ated under the present statute. A
new commission will be named by the
governor, the terms of the commission
to run coterminus with that of the
governors.
Governor Carlson vetoed the anti.
Lindsey bills which were passed by
the Legislature. In giving his reason

abolishing the court without interfer.
ence by the state.
The governor vetoed seven other
bills Monday and approved forty-three
other measures.
