Hoboken. N. J., January s0.-~Twelve persons were burned to de&th early to- day in fire which destroyed the Hotel Colonial here. Four others were badly burned and taken to hospital where it was reported tonight that they prob ably would not recover.
 A stream of persons was at the morgue today trying to identify the bodies of the victims They met with only partial success, however although police satd jewelry and other articles on the charred bodies would probably lead to discov- cry of relatives of all those burned.
 The body of F. c. Snyder of Brooklyn was identified tonight by his wife after a friend had declared personal effects found on the body belonged to Mr. Sny- der A woman who was with him had not been Identified tonight. In the cor ridor of one room mans body was found which later was identified as that of Frank Logan. 36. Hoboken. Mrs. Mary Schumacher, F, Jersey City, was found in the room and no hope is held out for her recovery. Another woman who re- fused to give her name identified the bedy of her conpanion, who was burned to death, as William smith Of Jersey City. She escaped unharmed. The body of Miss Daisy Grey, N of Jersey City was identified. as was the body of Miss Hester Peterson, 2e of Brooklyn.
 The register was burned to crisp, and there was no means of learning the names of the victims until they are iden- tified by friends. One woman in the hos ptal had not been Identified tonight, but the two men there were found to be Josia Rider of Jersey City and Richard DierK- sen dishwasher. who lived at the hotel, Dierksen it was stated at the hospital, had lost his reason.
 Bernard NJ. McFeely, director of puD- lie safety in Hoboken, has ordered two Investigations. one by the police into the manner in which the hotel was being conducted and the other by the fire de- partment to determine how the fire was started.
 According to statemen. by George ICroll, the night clerk the fire started in a gnest's foom. but the man was out at the time. If is believed the guest had left a lighted cigar or cigarette stub where 1t later set fire to the drapery
 Fire Chief Gilday tonight declared that he believed the failure of Groll to turn in an alarm promptly as well as the physical condition of the victims at the time of the fire. was largely responsible for the heavy loss of. life. He declared whiskey bottles were found in some of the rooms, and said that had the occu- pants been able to comprehend the wara- ings that were sent, he believed there would have been little if any loss of life. The chief declared the building was provided with ample fire escapes to which open corridors afforded, easy ae- ct sss < sez ,i,s Z '1s4 $ s.ssS Nl SS Later a friend identified ttsA nody o' Herman I.inlse, 42 of Irvington,.
