> was saved. Mr.. Gibbs was not prepared
to estimate the damage done, but from
other sources it was learned she
had suffered to the extent of possibly
500 900.
During the time that flames were
sweeping the Leviathan's forward deck
her crew Of 100 men, trained to every
sort of emergency kept five lines of
hose going with the ships pumps. The
fact that the vessel was saved with
comparatively slight loss was due, it
was said, as much to the fight put up
by her own crew as to efforts of New
York; tireboat,s which drenched her
with water from a score of nozzles.
According to members of the crew
there was one period when it seemed
that the craft was doomed. Fire
sweeping her starboard side cracked
out twenty or thirty ports ano was
penetrating portfolios. Detachments of
the crew went below and fought fire
at every port, also plugging the vents
as fast as the glass exploded from the
heat.
Fifteen fremen were injured. none
seriously, according to reports issued
at the Hoboken Hospital late at night.
Most Of the injuries were due to fall
ing glass and timbers.
Army Court ConveneS To-day
An army court Of inquiry will be
called to-day to ascertain the cause of
the confiagration. The court will be
convened in Hoboken.
Captain Robert E. Shannon, in charge
of the War Graves Registration SER
wee, said at midnight that all bodies
threatened by the fire had been saved.
ne added that at one time more than
5000 bodies appeared in danger of ere
nation.
On June 20, 1900, the Hamburg
American and North German LLOYD
piers in Hoboken were swept bv FIRE.
Many lives were lost and the fire
burned for FIVE days. 1t started in
what Is now known as Pier d. When
the docks were taken over bv the
United States the army piers /, 2 and
3 were the old North German Lloyd
piers and army piers 4, and were
the Ham burg American piers. The FIRE
IN 1900 began in Pier l of the Ham
burg american Line and travelled to
the North German Lloyd structures.
The docks then destroyed were built
of wood. They were reconstructed of
stone and concrete. The piers burned
last night were the only old piers re-
naming.

COURT MAY PASS
ON MORGUE LAW
Knight Threatens Legal Battle
in Controversy With Ana
tomical Board


Following charges made by the Ana
tOmicnl Board that the Coroner's Office
interfcrcs with the board in its efforts
10 obtain bodies for dissccting. Coroner
Knight declared today that, II ncces-
sary. he would institute court proceed
ings TO test the validity of the new law
which provides that unidentified bodies
be held in the mOrgue for only thirty =
six hours.
The Coroner denies there is any graft
in his Office and maintains that his Office
only safeguards the rights of relatives
of unidentified bodies. The Anatomical
Board charged that the new law inter
fcred with money making plans of the
| "oroncrs office in connection with the
disposal Of unidentified bodies.
Coroner Knight said today, 1--WE have
system where bodies are checked up
three different ways. IL no claimant
| for body appears it is taken to Pot
ter's Field and buried. At the end OF
ono or two years II is CrematCd. No
bodies can be sold or delivered for any
purpose whatever.
"I'ndcr the old law bodies were held
in the morguc sCventy-six hours, while
efforts were made to find the relatives.
| Now. under the new law, the bodies
are held thirty six hours. When the
Anatomical Board got that new law
passed they put one over on the public
| for business purposes. That law should
be changed. for any prominent persons
from out of town, say. dying and un-
identified on our streets. would be de-
livercd to the board in thirty six hours.
1t takes longer than that to identify
such body very often.
The Anatomical Board gets orders
from hospitals for bodies and fills them,
1t charges fees for these bodies: 1t i
business proposition with them, and
they would deliver body the moment
they obtained possession Of it if they
had an order for it..
Dr. Addncll Ilcwson, of 2l2O Spruce
street, secretary of the board, charged
that Deputy Coroner Sellers hat
thwartcd the boards efforts to obtair
bodies for research work in an en-.
dcavOr TO further money.making plan:
with which the passage of an act en-
nbing the board to select any body i
desired had interfered.
