/. BUILDINGS TO
BE GIVEN QUIZ
D. c. Commissioners Will Probe
Alleged Laxity Of Con-
struction.

Seeking to learn whether employees
of the Building Inspectors office Of
the District. have "winked at care
less and criminal practices on the
part of contractors" the District
Commissioners today are making an
investigation Of the integrity of this
office.
This became known today when
the Board of Commissioners, in q
letter to Senator Ball, chairman Of
the Senate District Committee. an
nounced that an investigation Of the
Knickerbocker disaster was well
coined.
The full text of the letter follows:
Sir: In compliance with the request
contained in your letter of February
1, 1922. with which was transmitted
Senate, resolution 22s. the Commits
sioners Of the District Of Columbia
desire to state that a thorough in
vestigation Of the collapse of the
roof structure Of the Knickerbocker
Theater In desirable, not only in the
interests of the people Of Washing
ton but also Of those Of the entire
country, in that such an investiga-
ton should establish at least the
principal causes that led to the
disaster
While the Commissioners have no
evidence that would induce them
to believe that the employees Of the
District Of Columbia have connived
in disregard of the law and have
winked at careless and criminal
practices upon the part of the
| building contractors, they believe
that this aspect of the matter
should also be looked into and that
| final Judgment should be had not
only as to the integrity OF the Of
| flee of the inspector Of buildings
of the District of Columbia, but
also as to the sufficiency Of that
| department for the discharge Of the
heavy and important duties that
come upon 1t.
While, therefore, the Commission
ers believe that the above resolu-
ton or one having the same object
should be passed, they suggest that
| in its present form II incorporates
an improved charge against the
honesty and faithfulness Of public
employees, and they recommend that
those portions Of the resolution that
contain such charges be eliminated
and that the resolution be modified
somewhat as shown in the accom-
panying copy.
On their own initiative, the Com
missloners have already taken steps
to make an adequate Investigation

building but also to all the build.

A full report on the character OF

of the theater will be made this
afternoon to District Attorney Cor
don by p. H. Bates, chief of the
division of engineering materials
of the Bureau of Standards.
District Attorney Gordon also
will confer this afternoon with Col
William Kelly and Maj. L. E. Oil
yer, Of the army engineer corps
and experts Of the navy, who have
been Investigating the cause of the
disaster.
Engineers today are trying to de
termine the cause of the cracks
which appeared in the ceiling of the
Knickerbocker Theater ten days be
fore the roof collapsed.
Upon discovery of the breaks In
the ceiling, workmen were immedi
ately summoned and repaired them
1t is said the breaks in the ceiling
extended from the position occupied
by the main truss, and were of SUI
ficient width to permit three fingers
to be placed in them.
As soon as Major Gordon learned
Of the cracks having appeared in the
ceiling of the theater, he set his in
vestigators to work to ascertain
whether the breaks were due to the
sagging of the truss or from some
other cause which eventually caused
the roof to collapse.
