CRASH SUITS TAKEN
T0SUPREME COURT.
Rnickerhocker Cases Passed
on Up by District Court
of Appeals.
LONG DELAY EXPECTED
Arguments Likely TO Be Held in
Allegiance Until Early
Next Year.
LONG DELAY EXPECTED

The District Court of Appeals to-
day certified to the United States
supreme Court for determination two
questions of law arising out of four
of tie suits brought by legal repre-
sentatives OF persons killed in the
knickerbocker Theater disaster in
which attempts are made to hold
"iviily liable the architect. iron fab
ricator and general contractor for
the collapse Of the roof of the build
ing in conjunction with the kntck
srbock Thcater Company, whica
owned and operated the theater. The
cases viii go on the docket of the
highest court and will probably come
Up for argument early next year.
The cases passed on to the higher
tribunal for decision are the appeals
OF John ii. Ford and the Cnion Iron
Works, the fabricators of the steel
Tirders; on which the roof rested; :;
lseglnald Geare, the architect OF the
building, and Frank l.. Wagner, who
had the contract to erect the build
ing. Ten other appeals are pending
IN which the same law points are in
VOWED and nearly. fifty cases are
court for decision as to the joint
Liability.
The two points certified for de-
ciSion are:
1-Assuming the facts in each
of the appeals to be true, do they
constitute u cause of action against
the appellant theirin, and if not in
one or more of the appeals, in which
one or ones?
2-Is the appellant in each appeal
properly joined as a defendant with
The other defendants named therein?"
Shortly before the expiration of one
year after the disaster more than fifty
suits were filed by counsel representing
legal representatives of victims Of the
disaster, in each of which $10 900 dam
ages was asked against the theater
company and against the architect iron
Tabricators, building contractor, cement
contractor and the District of Column
bia, claiming a joint responsibility for
the fall of the roof of the building by
reason of alleged faulty construction
and Inadequate inspection. The Dis
ulct of Columbia pleaded not guilty,
but the other defendants demurred TO
the declarations. and. when Justice
IioehlinG of the DiStict Supreme
tourt had ruled against them, took
appeals. Hearing was recently had be-
fore the Court of Appeals. which now
I.aSSeS the law questions along to the
hted states Supreme Court. Action
IN all the cases will probably be sus-
pended until the matter is decided in
