5 INQUIRIES IN
CAPITAL CRASH
Congress Demands Investigation
OF Building Fraud Reports
at Washington.
KNOWN THAT 1903 Persisted
Little Hope Is Held for Lives of
Twenty-Five Victims Now in
Hospitais-warped Walls OF
Building Being Raxed.

washington, Jan. 31.-Search for
bodies In the ruins of the Knicker
booker theater has been abandoned
One hundred and four dead were re-
covered from the debris of the death
theater All have been identified.
Others reported missing may bring the
toll of fatalities to los. One hundred
ana thirty persons are in hospitals.
Of this number little hope Is held
for the lives of % victims of Wash
ington's most appalling tragedy. Work
OF clearing wreckage from the rootless
shell OF what was the finest and most
exclusive community motion picture
house in the District of Columbia has
been completed. The warped walls
are being RACED to prevent further
fatalities.
Five Separate Investigations.
Five separate Investigations have
been begun. A few minutes after the
senate met Senator Capper, of Kansas,
introduced a resolution. 1t asked the
senate to undertake an inquiry. The
Capper resolution requested that the
investigation not only should tend to
place responsibility for the catas-
trophe. but probe into rumors that
there exists collision among construc-
tors and building inspectors to evade
the law.
In the house. Representative Ryan
of New York, sponsored a resolution
directing that special commission.
composed of an architect, engineer
and builder, investigate the collapse
and rewrite the District building code.
Construction engineers who in
spected the walls of the Knickerbocker
stated that the concrete had de-
Perforated. They demonstrated that
when struck with a hammer the con-
crete in places was faulty. Under
some of the tests the concrete proved
of such flabby texture. they said,
that 1t crumbled almost in ones hands.
Other Investigations included those
launched by the District commissioners.
by the Federal grand jury for the Dis
trict Of Columbia. and by the Dis
trict coroner, d. ]. Ramsey hewitt.
Congress Proposes to Probe.
That the congress proposes to probe
| deeply into the causes, immediate and
remote, of the crash that has thrown
| the capital into the deepest mourning
was indicated.
In both branches of the legislative
body pledges were given that complete
and summary congressional action
would be taken to prevent any pos
sible slip on the part of local authOr-
ties in fixing the blame where II may
belong.
Recovering from the first brutal
shock OF the disaster to the extent
that a more analytical perspective
can be had Washington citizens seem
eager to have the crash probed. Pub
lie sentiment, as expressed in hotel
Hobbies, in Offices of senator's, congress
men and District officials, and in the
press, was that some one is culpable
for the amazing loss of life. The
Federal grand jury visited the scene
of the catastrophe. Declarations were
made by United States Attorney
Gordon and Foreman McGuade that
the grand jury probe of the theater
disaster will start Immediately.

LAST YEAR WAS BATTING YEAR.;
 1922 WILL SEE NEW PITCHING
 RECORDS, PREDICTION OF FANS
NEW YORK, May 2s. = 1922, the

NEW YORK, May 26. = 1922, the pitchers year.
 1921, the batter's year.
 That is the striking difference shown by the games played thus far this year as compared with last sea sons records.
 The first month of play last year was characterized by the large num- Der of pitchers knocked out of the box.
 This year a different story is being written into the records
 Two. three and four-hit games have been numerous.
 Pitchers have gone the full route more often than they have been re- moved.
 On April 30 Rookie Pitcher Charles Robertson of the Chicago White Sox electrified the baseball world by turn ing no-hit game against the Detroit team. Not a man reached first base.
 Just a week later, on May 2, Jess Barnes, veteran twirler of the New York Giants, duplicated Robertson's performance, but issued one base on balls to Williams, the only Philadel- phia player to reach first base.
 HOW Qlll6I6HI lTOiu thCoS iSSOAN breaking performances was the story of the early play of 1921.
 A game in which one of the con testing teams failed to make over 10 hits was something to talk about.
 Eaters, from Babe Ruth down, were on a rampage such as was never known before in the history of the game.
 Reasons inumerable were advanced for the unprecedented hitting, and the lively ball, fading pitchers, all became; the subject of heated discussion.
 Though the slugging dropped off somewhat toward tho end of the sea son the batters still showed a marked supremacy over the pitchers.
 Not a twirler turned in a no-hit game.
 This year, if the past month of play indicates anything, the pitchers will hang up some new records for the future stars to shoot at.

BONUS BILL NOT
TO Be MERGED
President Desires That Definite
Provisions be made for
Soldires Bonus Bill.
SALES TAX IS PROBIBLE
Bonus Bill Will Not Be Made Part
Of the Allied Debt Refundinu
Bill, Says Chairman
McCumber.

Washington.-The soldier bonus bill
will not be made part of the allied
debt refunding bill, Chairman McCum-
Der of the senate finance committee,
said after series of conferences had
been held between senate leaders to
discuss the desirability of merging the
two, and it had become known ut the
White House that President Harding
did not look with favor upon the sug-
gestion.
The foreign debt bill, Senator Nc
Cumber said, would be taken up by
the finance committee in the hope that
1t would be put in shape at that time
for reporting to the senate. 1t was
the intention, he added, to eliminate
some of the features to which the
treasury department has objected and
which has resulted in the measure
being held in committee for several
weeks. These include provisions for
semi-annual payment Of interest and
that the interest rate shall not be
less than five per cent.
Although the merger plan was orig
inally received favorably by num-
Der Of senate leaders, the president
was said to regard it as impractical
and his view was reflected in further
conferences between senate leaders.
Will Not Oppose Sales Tax.
The presidents objections to the
merger were said by callers ut the
White House to be based on his desire
for the assurance that provision def
nitely would be made for payment Of
the bonus. So far as the refunding
bill is concerned, he was said to be-
lieve that the refunding process
should be developed to insure returns
from the allied loans before steps
were taken to pledge them for a
bonus.
He was represented, however, as
not hostile 10 the suggestion that the
interest or principal of the allied
loans be used for paying the bonus
once they were available and it was
stated definitely that he also would
not oppose sales tax for the purpose
of paying the bonus, If congress should
decide upon that plan.
The president, however, was said to
regard as impractical suggestion
that over S4OO,OOO,OOO in the hands Of
the alien property custodian be used
for bonus payments. These funds, it
was said, were regarded as pledged
technically to private individuals
whose property was taken.

Referring to the disease problems
Dr. Crewe says that the sO-called

Little can be done along curative
lines,( but immediate and strict iso-

is urged.
Speaking Of the states efforts to

Collins and Cosgrave were members
of De Valera's cabinet.
Collins Nominates Griffith.
Griffith was placed in nomination
by Michael Collins shortly after the
beginning Of the session. AS matters
stood, said Collins, Ireland was with
out leader. He again charged the
opposition with obstructionist tactics
and declared it's desire was to create
the impression that Ireland was still
unfriendly to England and to dis
credit the supporters of the treaty
The present course of the dali, IL per
sisted in, would give England an ex
cuse for remaining in Ireland, he de
clared.
The proposition to elect Griffith
was opposed by John MacIntee, who
said he questioned the wisdom of put
ting up, in Griffith, man who was
bound by his signature to the treaty
to wreck the Irish republic. He de
clared no man who had signed the
peace agreement should be president
Of the dali. 1t was proposed to dc
gratiously in carrying out the treaty
that John Redmond was coerced into
doing in 1914, added MacIntee.
Republics Status Questioned.
canon De valera asked Griffith
whether he intended, If elected, to ac
