foreman and William Burgin,
Sc, 721 Park road NV. a skilled

tempt.
According to university Off

Frederick Douglass Memorial

initiative. apparently went op an
inspection trip of the tunnel,
through which the steam is
piped to the building. They
were supposed to check out at
2p.m. When they hadn't turned
up by 4 pm, a search was
begun.
Janitor Douglass Roper found
the dead mems jackets and outer
shirts at the entrance to the
steam tunnel and gave the
alarm.
Rescue squadmen, wearing gas
masks, entered the tunnel, and
found the bodies about 200 feet
from the entrance. The men
were brought out and pronounced
dead at the mouth of the tunnel
at Sis pm.
Mr.. Taylor, without a gas
mask, had attempted to follow
the rescue squadmen in, but was
felled by the intense heat.
150-Degree Heat.
The temperature in the tunnel
was estimated at $50 degrees or
above. A thermometer carried
in burst.
When the alarm was given, a
group of university workers be-
gan hacking through the side
walk in front of the hall, at 246l
Sixth street NV, in an effort
to get air to the men below. They
succeeded in breaking through a
cement hanhole cover, but their
efforts were too late.
In addition to the steam lines.
the tunnel carries electrical and
telephone cables. An autopsy
was to be performed to determine
the exact cause of death.
