DISCLAIMS ANY BLAME
Supervisor of Buildings
Says Fuller Brush Tragedy
Not Fault of His Dept.
(Continued on Eleventh Page.)
Hartford, April 6. Frederick W.
Barrett, supervisor of buildings in
this city, today Issued a statement to
the effect that an investigation by his
department shows that the depart
ment cannot be held responsible for
the Fuller Brush Co. tower disaster on
Saturday in which ten lives were lost.
Mr. Barrett said:
'With the assistance of A. S. Lynch,
expert engineer of New Haven, I have
conducted my investigation to the
point where any further investigation
on my part would conflict with the
work of the coroner and the state's
attorney; for this reason I shall pro
ceed no further at the present time.
'I have, however, reached a point
where I can say conclusively that the
cause of this disaster is in no way
related to the permit for the erection
of this plant nor to the plans and spe
cifications filed in the office of the su
pervisor or buildings. I am satisfied
that the cause of this disaster was
beyond control of this department.
I shall prepare and submit at once
to his honor, the mayor, a complete
statement of the result of my investi
gation. It will then be for the mayor
to decide how much, if any, of this be
given out for publication. I under
stand that it Is his intention to sub
mit a copy of my report either to the
coroner or the state's attorney."

SIR A. CONAN DOYLE BELIEVES EVIL
SPIRIT MAY HAVE KILLED CARNARVON
Explains That Egyptians Were Far More Learned in
, Spiritualism Than People of Today Recites
Possible Effect of Curse.
New York. April 6. Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle who arrived in this coun
try yesterday to lecture on spiritual
ism today expressed belief that "an
evil elemental" brought into being by
Egyptian occultism or the spirit of
Tutankhamen might have caused the
death of Lord Carnarvon, who opened
the tomb of the Egyptian Pharaoh.
Sir Arthur was asked if he agreed
with Miss Marie Corelll the Kngllsh
novelist who warned the explorer that
It was dangerous to enter the Luxor
tomb because the spirit of Egyptian
king might bo angered.
"It might be a dangerous thing to
dig Into these old graves" ' admitted
Sir Arthur, who claims to have con
versed with the souls of those de
parted. - j
"One does not know what elemen-
tela (listed la those days and how
I long these elementala existed or what
might be tholr force.
"Tho Egyptians knew a great deal
more about these things than we do.
If they could put these elemcntals on
guard over their, dead bodies they
certainly would have done so."
Continuing Sir Arthur said:
"An elemental is a built-up, ar
tificial thing, an Imbued force which
may be brought Into being by a spirit
mind. It exists of Itself for a specific
purpose and Is not pro-created. We
know very little about them but we
have evidence of their existence, es
pecially In regard to Egyptians.
"There was a mummy once in the
British museum which we believe was
guarded, by one of these elementala
