duty as to the reputation of others.
This does not include legitimate crit
icism, but it does exclude SANDER
mongering, starting false reports and
false witnessing. Ones reputation
is a precious possession. To pilfer a
good name is to lend ones self to
the meanest sort of stealing. We owe
it to all to be honest toward them.
Horace Greeley once said, "The
darkest hour of many young mans
life is when he sits down to plan how
to get money without earning it."
Honest is the foundation of all credits
and of all business. We are under
obligations to be truthful. This is
the reverse side of honesty. 1t is the
basis of all right inter relations.
1t is also our duty to set good eX-
amples. Of one it was said, "He was
indeed the glass in which the noble
guests did dress themselves" Each
of US should be such mirror. Moth
ing is more powerful than example.
We should lift our fellows by what
we are and do. Above all, forget not
your duty to be benevolent. The real
idea of possession is that of stew
ardship, rather than ownership. The
real need of our fellows is a claim
on us-our wise and right helping.

DERRICK NOT
COLLAPSE CAUSE
Stone Concern Official Ap-
pears Before Investigators.

Few witnesses remain to be examined
by Or. Paul Robinson, coroner. and other
county and city officials investigating the
fatal collapse OF the Emmerich Manual
Training High School building, in which
two men were killed and twenty injured
a week ago.
Carl l.. Ittenbach, vice president Of the
q. Ittenbach Stone Company, appeared
before the coroner late Tuesday and test-
fed that the collapse was due to Insult
cient boltng and riyetng OF the steel
skeleton and to the pouring Of concrete
on the third floor OF the building
Mr.. Ittenbach stated his company was
the owner OF the large derrick on top OF
the building, which some witnesses
charged started the vibrations causing
the building to crumble.
The witness explained he had exam
fned the derrick used to hoist stone for
the side walls and had decided It was
safe.
Mr.. Ittenbach said he had examined
the wooden brake lining Of the hosting
engine the day before the crash and
found 1t worn.
Questions were asked the witness In
regard to a conversation he had with
Herman Scherrer, the architect
He said such a conversation occurred
a short time before the crash and that It
had been decided to brace the derrick
with more guy wires to prevent vibra-
tion.
Testimony Of Ittenbach's employees Is
said to differ from that OF other wit
nesses in that they claim the start Of the
collapse was in the south part OF the
building, while the derrick was in the
north part Of the building, where other
witnesses declared the collapse started
Coroner Robinson today visited the
Methodist Hospital, where Lee Penning
ton is recovering from injuries received
in the collapse Of the Emmerich Manual
Training High School building, and also
the Deaconess Hospital, where George
O'Den is recovering from injuries
The testimony of the two men was re-
corded by the coroner's secretary and
the men sworn to their statements. De
tectives Houlihan and Long accompanied
the coroner In his visits to the hospitals.
Statements from other injured men may
be taken Friday, but the Investigators
will rest Thursday because it is Thanks
giving.
1t was stated that the investigation
was almost at an end but so far the evil
dence recorded in the coroner's inyesti-
CATION has not been turned over to the
grand jury.
