Snyder?" Mr.. Brown asked.
Yes. he agrees with me-" the witness
said
Mr. Brown said the Board of Educa-
ton could not be held responsible GRIM
inally in the event of bad fire in
which life was lost If the Board of Estt-
mate had refused funds requested to
make buildings safe. There was diff
ference of opinion In the committee on
that subject.
Mr.. Deutsch read a list of about fifty
fires which have occurred in the schools
all due to lack of proper fireproofing
In each OF these instances there Was
from one to fourteen notices from the
Fire Department demanding correction
OF the conditions which actually started
the fires.
Mr.. Brown shifted to the building sit

money was available.
Delays in the Board OF Estimate, de-
days in approving sites. delays where

| The history OF Public School 81 in
Queens was recited as typical Of what
happens when the city starts to build a

school officials should have more au-

GARBAGE MAN DISCOVERS
FIRE AT ASBURY HOME,

A bad fire at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gordon Asbury in East Second
street was ayerted his morning by the
timely discovery of the blaze in the
rear Of the home by garbage man.
The alarm was sent in at 4:50 o'clock
and within very few minutes the fire
department was on the job and extin-
guished the blaze with the use of
chemicals only. The fire was confin-
ed to the kitchen Of the home although
the blaze had already eaten through
the door and had caught a Davenport
in the adjoining room. Fire Chief New
ell says the fire was caused by mice
gnawing matches in kitchen cabinet
in the kitchen. But for the discovery
of the blaze by the garbage man, the
blaze might have been most dsas-
trous. Chief Newell estimates the loss
at approximately $500.

ANOTHER WHISKY Theft
NEAR BARDSTOWN
Fifty to Seventy.flve Cases Of whisky
Stolen From Warehouse
Wednesday.

Bardstown. KY, June 2. - Captur-
ing the two guards, Dick Culver, of
Bardstown, and Logan Burke, of
Louisville, one at time, dlsarming
them and tying them to a chair and q
tree, five armed men early Wednes-
day removed seventy-five cases of
liqour from the free warehouse Of the
T. W. Samuels Distillery, this county,
and drove off with 1t in two trucks af-
ter having cut all telephone wires
leading to the distillery.
Arrests are expected here today, ac-
cording to Federal officials investigat-
ing the case Leslie Samuels, owner of
the distillery, exonerates the guards
from blame. Each exhibited wrists cut
and chafed by ropes with which they
we're bound. 1t was the guards last
night on duty, they being relieved to-
day by new appointees Of Collector
Lucas.
The FIVE men first surprised Culver
in the distillery office and after tying
him captured Burke, who was making
his rounds. He was tied to tree out
side. The men then waited an hour or
more before the trucks arrived.
This Is the third recent sensational
warehouse robbery where guards were
tied and telephone wires cut. Distil-
leries at Tyrone and Lawrenceburg
were robbed in this manner. An at
tempt was frustrated at Salvisa, Mer-
Ger county after telephone wires had
