fremen, acting under orders from FIRE
Commissioner Dronnan, will begin at
8 o'clock this morning to make
thorough and detailed examination OF
all warehouses and storage places In
the city. This inspection is for the
purpose Of ascertaining the character
Of everything stored in these buildings.
"This is warning" said the Com
missioner, ito all those who for few
paltry dollars gain are willing TO
jeopardize the lives Of our fremen ana
the lives Of the residents of the neigh
borhood in which such buildings are
located"
This order was given following a
conference called by Mayor Hyian yes
terday morning, at which representa-
tives Of the Fire Department. the
Health Department, the city admins
tration and the Fire Prevention Bureau
were present Among the suggestions
offered as a means Of reducing the fire
hazards in the warehouses was that or
applying the coming system. Commits
sioner Hirshheld Was in favor Of COM
polling the owners of the storage
buildings to file periodically sworn
statements showing the amount OF IN
fammable or combustible material IN
their custody.
Although few more witnesses. are
still to be examined by the Homicide
ct ct r
fee, the investigation of the Jane
Street fire has been practically com
pleted, and, in the opinion OF those in
charge, enough evidence has been gath
cred on which to proceed with the
case. District Attorney Banton and his
assistants will therefore 60 before the
grand jury next week and ask for in
dictments for manslaughter in the
second degree.
Assistant District Attorney Morgan
Jones, who is conducting the investi-
CATION for the District Attorney,
learned yesterday that the United
States Naval Ordnance Office at SO
South Street had opened bids on June
use in aerial bombs and rockets in
naval air work at Baldwin, N. Y.
Weisenthal & Co. got the con-
tract and were about to send the pow
der to Long Island City to be sifted to
meet government requirements wnen
the fire occurred. At the time Of the
first explosion eighteen cases were on
the sidewalk and the remaining twenty
six within the building.
At late hour last night the fire
was still burning. and the occasional
quantities of dense smoke which poured
from the structure gave evidence that,
although no flames were visible, there
was plenty of fire in the central por-
tons Of the warehouse.

Girl Mother, IS, Freed by Court,
IsWelc0med Home With Baby
Officials Had No Right to Commit Minnie Mandel-
baum to Institution, Justice Finch Says; Re-
fuses to Allow Child To BE Taken From Her

ME and her baby before Justice Finch.
Il cannot see how this commitment
was made" said the justice, "and you
have absolutely no right to detain her
if she wishes to go to her father and
take her baby with her"
Mrs. Elder admitted that legally the
home could not keep Minnie if she
wished to go back to the home of her
parents, but thought the social phase
Of the situation should be considered.
The scorn of the neighbors, because of
her misstep, might make her old home
uncongenal and uncomfortable, Mrs.
Elder said.
|. s'The Children's Court had no more
right to send her there than | have to
commit any of the men in this room
to an institution" said Justice Finch.
Turning to the child-m other, the jurist
asked gently: Little girl. do you wish
to go home with your father or do you
prefer to remain in the institution"
81 want to og home with my father"
replied Minnie. Questioned further,
she said she wanted to take her child
with her.
Mr. Mandelbaum thought the child
should be sent to an institution, but
Minnie would not consent. 81 want
my baby" she said in protest, promis-
ing to help her mother with the work
of the household The father then
agreed to take his grandson, too.

Autopsy on Bodies Of Mr..
and Mrs. Jackson Did Not
Show Fatal Amount Of
Cyanogen, He Testifies

charged with second degree man
slaughter in connection with the deaths
last May Of Fremont NJ. jackson and
his wife at the Hotel Margaret Annex
Brooklyn, was adjourned yesterday af-
ternoon until Monday by County Judge
Reuben L. Haskell in the County Cert
Brooklyn. Adjournment was taken be-
fore the completion of the cross-ex-
animation of Alexander o. Gettler
city toxicologist, whose testimony was
favorable to the defense
1t is charged that Bradicich, using q
deadly cyanogen gas while fumigatine
servant quarters in the hotel, caused
the deaths Of the aged Jackson couple
They occupied an apartment on the
floor above the rooms that were fumi-
gated.
Stanley Fowler, counsel for the de-
Tense, in the cross-examination of Gett-
Ter, brought out the admission that the
lungs of neither of the Jacksons con-
tanned fatal amount Of cyanogen gas
when the analysis was made. The wit
ness said that His experience had in
volved the examination for poison OF
$500 human organs, and that in this
experience he had come upon thirteen
cases wherein ne believed death had
rsulted from hydro-cyanic poisoning
In eleven of these cases, he said, the
gas had been used in fumigating.
Gettler said that in his examination
of the lungs of the Jacksons he had
found four -thousandths of a MILL
gram Of cvanogen. He said that the
minimum fatal amount of the poison
for human beings was not known, but
admitted that it was estimated at be-
tween fve-tenths and six-tenths Of a
milligram.
Earlier in the day DR.. Charles Wuest,
medical examiner for Brooklyn, testi-
fed that the autopsy on the body of
Mr.. Jackson disclosed fatty infltra-
ton Of the liver, Bright's disease, and
heart disease, and that death might
have resulted from either of the last
named conditions.

To Save Girl Who
Confessed Murder
No Motive Is Discovered for
Killing of Cousins Hus-
band i'm Grove; Mother a
Prominent Club Woman

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 21-Indi-
cations to-day were that Mildred
Brewer, ffteen-year-o girl, alleged
self-confessed slayer Of A. P. McKeith-
en-, thirty-six and married, in lonely
grove seven miles from here yesterday
afternoon, would be tried in juvenile
court.
The body of McKeithen, with a single
bullet wound in his head, was found
after the girl had been brought back
to the city from the grove where she
said she met him. Police officials de-
clare that the girl admitted killing
McKeithen.
The motive Of the alleged killing by
the girl has not been established. A
firm of lawyers was employed this
morning to fight for her life and it
was the claim Of her counsel that the
court established by state law for the
protection of child life would have
final jurisdiction in the premises. No
date has been set for an examination
Of the girl by Judge Lee Holloway of
the Juvenile court.
mildred Brewer" is the name the
young prisoner gave the police when
she surrendered after the killing. Her
father, however, was Ware Brown, au-
thorities announced, and her mother is
now married to Frank Richardson, af-
ter being divorced from Brown. The
| mother resides about two miles from
the scene of the killing. The girl is a
cousin of the dead mans wife and had
spent much of her life in their home.
She is grand daughter Of the late
Colonel Willis Brewer, noted in Ala
bama political and literary works, and
a family long prominent in affairs of
the state.
The girls mother, Mrs. Miriam
Brewer Brown Richardson, studied law
and was admitted to the bar some
years ago and is prominent in club and
civic work in her community
Coroner j. Dofiey, who returned at
noon from Robinson Springs, where
the dead man was buried, said he had
interrogated the girl prisoner fully re-
garding the killing of McKeithen, but
would give out nothing regarding her
story of the killing until it was
brought up in court. He said he ex-
pected the examination to be made,
probably next Wednesday. No coro-
ner's jury was organized to probe the
case.

Tricks, Police Say, SO Mas
ter Is Jailed as Vendor

II Norman Jackson's pet collie, Pete,
had lived Norman might not now be
locked up in Newark on a charge of
traficking in narcotics.
Norman, who is negro, was arrest
ed yesterday on evidence furnished by
George Lee, another negro, who said
he had bought narcotics from Jack
son. Both were held for the grand
jury by acting Judge Rooney, Jackson
In $1,000 bail and Lee in $500 as a
material witness.
Jackson, according to the police,
evaded arrest for three years because
he carried no drug on his person. In
stead. they say he concealed the mar
cotics in Pete's collar. Whenever a
policeman approached jackson the dog
would dash off and disappear. Pete
died year ago and Jackson bought
another dog, a terrier. Jackson tried
to train it to do Pete's tricks, but
failed, the officials say.
