DR.. Norris after studying the re-

would be extremely difficult to con.
meet the defective wiring with the
blasting because all evidence would
have been destroyed by the fire.
When the flames were discovered
early Sunday, the huge asylum,
which contains more than 1000
patients, many of them violently
insane, became an inferno.
Madmen tugged grimly at the
barred windows, sobbing and
laughing. The contest between
asylum authorities and city officials
to fix blame for the disaster has
led to frantic search for precedent
and technicalities on the part of
city and State executives to demon
strate their lack of responsibility.

DR.. c. Floyd Haviland flayed the
city government for failure to pro-
vide fire-fighting apparatus.
For some time the board of man.
ayers has been petitioning for ade-
qnate protection. We couldn't un-
derstand having an old horse drawn

/ Housed in the building which burn

twice the number of patients its ca

men in the wing which was COM

The state, asylum authorities as
sert, had refused to provide fire
on the grounds that the
institution was so close to New
York city as to render 1t unneces-
sary.
City officials reply that Wards
Island was leased to the State, and
that 1t was up to them to provide
at least emergency equipment.
Relatives of patients who are be-
Iieved to have lost their lives in
the blaze were called to the morgue
today to identify nineteen bodies al
ready recovered. Only five have
been identified so far.
Three Of the victims were former
service men and one . rIebi.
