BLAST INQUIRY BOARD
KEEPS FINDING SECRET
VICTIM
DISCOVERED
SHOCKED

The board Of inquiry into the
explosion at McCrory's 5-and-1O.
cent store last Thursday was
closeted several hours today in the
office Of Major Donald A. Dawson
assistant engineer commissioner.
The investigators were going
over the reports and testimony
which came up yesterday in their
executive session in the board
room at the District Building.
They may reach some conclusion
today, but it will not be made
public, Major Davidson said.
The name of another woman
was added today to the list of
explosion victims. Six persons lost
their lives.
Suffers From Shock
Miss r. B. McGrath, 800 block
Second st. S. E., who was walk
ing on Seventh Street when the
blast occurred, is confined to her
home under a physicians care.
Miss McGrath is suffering from
shock and nervous prostration
and should her condition not i'm
prove she will be taken to Provi-
dence hospital, doctors said.
Yesterday the board ques-
toned Maurice J. Colbert, a
plumber, who made installations
in the McCrory building nine
years ago; James Paxton, man.
ager Of the store, and several
colored employees.
Major Dawson yesterday stated
that the boards proceedings
would be kept secret until the
coroner's inquest, which Is to be
held next Monday.
Major Dawson said the board
was making no effort to fix Grim
inal responsibility for the accident
and would leave that up to the
coroner's jury, II such an angle
should develop.
May Change Code
It is considered probable that
an amendment to the code gov
erning inspection Of boilers may
result from the inquiry. It may
take the form of making retroac
tive a regulation adopted in 1925
prohibiting use Of water boilers
in vaults.
The regulation was not made
retroactive at the time it was
adopted and the boiler at Nc.

was allowed to remain. It was

VOCATIONAL BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Provides Rehabilitation fol
Disabled Residents of
Washington.

The Senate yesterday passed the bill
to provide for vocational rehabilitation
Of disabled residents of the District
of Columbia. The bill passed the House
last May, but will have to be returned
to that body because Of a Senate
amendment. The House may either
concur in the amendment, or send the
measure to conference.
The bill authorizes the Federal Board
for Vocational Education to provide for
the rehabilitation and return to employ
ment of any disabled resident of WASH
ington. 1t is similar to the Federal
law on the subject passed in 1920.
The measure authorizes a Federal ap-
preparation of $4,000 annually, but
provides that this sum shall be avail
able only when matched by an equal
appropriation from District funds Any
resident of the District who, by reason
of a physical defect or infirmity, Is
totally or partially incapacitated for
remunerative occupation, would be ell
gible for rehabilitation.
In reporting the bill to the Senate,
the committe on educ go, and labor
stated that "thiS reh $780,. : work, If
set up and carrie. on in til. District
Of Columbia, would provide q i.ational
laboratory for research in discovering
Wayo Va AC11oUALAtdtkklB QlSdU16Q PERSONS,
and thus enable the States to have the
benefit of these studies and investiga-
tionS.''
In further explanation Of the bill,
the committee reported:
1T has been shown quite conclusive
~ that a person injured in industry
can be rehabilitated for less than It
would cost to maintain him as q public
charge. The committee calls attention
to the fact that injured United States
employees who are granted compensa-
ton receive two-thirds of their salary
with maximum limitation on the SAL
airy Of SITS a month, thus providing
the sum of $116.66 a month for the
maximum compensation. This sum
itself, II paid for two months, would pay
the average cost of rehabilitating these
disabled people, and therefore the Con-
greSs might expect that this program
would not only be of humanitarian
character, but also a direct economy
in the use Of Federal funds"

UNIFORM BUILDING
LINES ADVOCATED
Mount Pleasant Citizens Associa-
ton Condemns Some I'm.
slightly Spots.

Discussing a proposed amendment to
the coming regulations, the Mount
Pleasant Citizens Association, which
met last night in the Mount Pleasant
Branch Library, advocated adoption of
law which would provide for uniform
building restriction lines.
An amendment proposed by M. w.
Lewis, chairman of the association
coming committee, would increase the
scope of the laws in order that def
mite depth for front yards might be es-
tablished. A regulation fixing the dis
lance from the street for construction
of houses would tend to establish an
unbroken building line, according to Mr.
Lewis.
The unsightly condition Of the Piney
Branch Valley was discussed and it was
charged that the rubbish and pools of
stagnant water were menace to the
health of persons residing in that vi
cinity.
A resolution favoring the resurfacing
of Fairgrounds at Bancroft and john
son schools was referred to the COM
n1ittee on schools.
