suggestion of human form.
The twelve dead have all been iden-

John Lachinsky, of 2l5 North Fifth
Street, an employee of the Diamond
Candy Company, and his body was
thought to be in the ruins of the cellar.
Captain Shaw, of the Bedford Avenue
station, who made a search with the
fremen, said that Lachinsky's body YVES
not in the cellar.
Every one known to have been in the
building at the time of the fire has
been accounted for. The twenty-nine

no worse than they were on Saturday.

Door Found Still Locked.

morning, with Chlef dammit, Chief
Inspector Coe, Chief Inspector Healy
Of the Division of Combustibles and
Fire Marshal Brophy, we found this
door still in position. though badly
charred, and securely locked.
I'VE Immediately rounded up all the
witnesses We could find who could tell
US about the locked door.
Abraham Rifkin, Of 656 Metropoli-
tan Avenue, who worked on the top
floor, gave the clearest account of the
fight and panic among the occupants of
the two upper floors when they found
the door locked. Rifkin states that as
soon as the fire was discovered he ran
downstairs on the west stairway TO the
fourth floor. Behind him were prac-
tically all of the sixty-odd employees
Of the top floor. When they reached
the stairway opening on the fourth floor
they found il closed. and so securely
fastened that the efforts of half a dozen
strong men for fifteen minutes were
unable to move II. Men and women
were standing around wringing their
hands while Rfkin and five other men
fought desperately 10 ear open the
trapdoor. Most Of them gave it up and
ran for the fire escape or 10 the side

"Rifkin says that he and his com
panions struggled with the door for
fifteen minutes, and were only able 10
pry loose one hinge. This made an
opening just large enough for RIfkin,
who is a small man, 10 squeeze through
and roll down the stairs 10 the floor
below. A man named Charles Hard

women also managed TO squeeze

WINGED that the catastrophe could have
been avoided if the owners had been
forced by the proper authorities &c live
up TO the requirements of the law.
The building was branded as IRE

soon as the fremen tried to break into

illusions drawn yesterday by the in
vestigating officials were not new, their
chief concern being to pick from the
charred floors and blackened walls
enough tangible evidence to support the
charge of negligence, which, it was as
serted. was apparent TO every one on
Saturday.
One Of the Investigators, standing be-
fore the burned factory, summed up the
situation in these words:
"If the representatives Of depart
ments responsible for the safeguarding
of buildings were as active before the
fire as they have been to-day looking
over and measuring doors and halls and
windows there would be no need for
them to be out to-day working on a
post-mortem."

The main exit. the stairway on the
east side of the building, was entirely
cut of by the fire itself. which started
in the hall near the foot of these
stairs and went up the stairs so fast
that none Of the people above could
escape that way.
The other stairway was entirely
cut of above the third floor by a
locked trapdoor covering the stair
opening leading down from the fourth

100 to 125 occupants of the fourth and
fifth floors on the fourth floor. and
forcing them to resort TO the over
