By Associated Press.
New Tork, March 2T. Dozen of in

state, today collected every scrap of
Information available regarding the
loss of 142 lives in the "Washington
square fire Saturday. The grand jury
. men turned their personal probers and
an additional grand Jury In a formal
resolution presented to the court of
i general sessions offered to aid the dis
trict attorney, who declared some one
should be prosecuted for the dlsas-
ter. : '.. I
, The searchers found evidence that
the doors at the exits swung inward;
that the only ftre escape was block
ed by iron shutters when they open
ed; that the water , tank on the roof
was empty and that the practice pre
. vailed among the cutters of lighting
' 0 cigarettes a few minutes before quit
'.ting time,
All this and what is yet to be ferret
ed out will be placed before the grand
Jury for action. Fire Marshal Beers
was summoned, the proprietors o the
Trinagle "Waist Company and several
employes to testify at a public inves
tigation, largely-to enquire into the
truth cf reports that the doors leading
to the Are escapes were blocked.
"As far as we can discover," he said,
there has never been a fire drill In
this factory. My opinion is It would
take seven hunderd girls three hours
to .reach the street by one lire escape
from this bunding. Nine-tenths of the
employes did not speak English, and
yet we - could find no sign in Yid
dish or Italian pointing to the fire ex
its."
The marshal said he was convinced
that a cigarette thrown Into a heap of
cHrpings started the fire.
The relief, fund for- the sufferers is
beaded by a-' five thousand 'donation
from"" Andrew Carnegie and keveral
charitable organisations came with of
fers of aid.
Thirty-three bodies, most of them
shorn of an semblance of human form,
lie unidentified tonight in the morgue,
while twelve persons, most of them
girls in their .teens, are fighting for
V their lives in hospitals. The unidenti
fied will be buried in a single grave.
The final f gures place the list of dead
at 142. One hundred and thirty-three
bodies were taken from the scene of
the disaster and eight died in hosr
pitals. The list will be swelled, sur
" geons say, by others with no chance
of recovery.
DEATH PROOF BUILDINGS
SLOGAN IN NEW YORK
New York, March 27. "Give us not
merely fire proof, but death proof
buildings," bids fair to become a mu
nicipal slogan as a result of the "Wash
ington Place fire disaster of Saturday
afternoon in which nearly 160 persons
lost their lives. ' '
The slogan was coined by Fire Chief
Croker as summing up his recommen
datlons for the future. The entire na
1 tlon.- he declared, will learn a lesson
from Saturday's fire such as it has
learned only twice of late years on.e
when the Colllnwood, Ohio, disaster
taught the necessity of adequate fire
protection In school buildings, and
stgaln when the Iroquois theatre fire In
Chicago taught the same lesson for
' theatres.
Chief Crokers recommendation is:
"The City Beautiful' is less vital
han the "City Safe.'
"Let us see first of all that our peo
ple live and work under adequate pro
tectlon for their lives and persons.
T would have, fire escape landings
extending all along the outside of every
office loft or factory buildings. I would
have the balcony landings built wide

IN DEFENSE OF COCA-COLA
By Associated Press.
Chattanooga, Term., March 27. The
hearing of. evidence for the defense in
the coca-cola case was resumed In the
federal court today and Dr. R. A-'Wlt-thaus,
of New' York, testified that he
had never heard of a death resulting
from the use of caffeine. Effects of
caffeine, which la found In coca-cola,
when admtnistratered to animals would
not furnish a conclusive result as to
its effects on man, he said. Caffeine
was not, he declared, a habit-forming
drug.
He admitted authorship of a book
on toxicology containing a table re
porting thirteen cases of caffeine poi
son In nine years but explained this
was quotation from Cobert, a Ger
man scientist.
Dr. H. C. Wood, Jr of Philadelphia,
made a series of experiments on frogs
to ascertain the effects of caffeine on
the muscles. He came to the conclu
sion, he said, that caffeine caused an
Increase of the action without .in
creasing the amount of energy con
sumed. The cross examination de
veloped nothing new.

EXECUTTVE CLEMENCY WILL NOT
BE EXTENDED TO CHARES W.
MORSE AND JOHN R. WALSH,
' CONVICTED BANKERS. ".
By Associated Press.
Washington, March 27. Executive
clemency will not be extended at pres
ent W Chas. W. Morse, the New York
banker, or John R. Walsh, the Chicago
banker,- who are serving fifteen and
five years, respectively, in federal pen
itentiaries, the former at Atlanta and
the latter at Leavenworth.
The president has had before him
for several weeks applications for
clemency in both cases, and the de
partment of justice has made an ex
haustive investigation into the evidence
presented at the trials of 'the two
bankers and inquired into their physi
cal condition. From sources close to
Taft it is learned today he will follow
the recommendation of Attorney Gen
eral "Wickers ham who, It is understood,
had recommended that Inasmuch as
Walsh will be paroled under; the new
federal law m September, justice will
be better served if clemency is not ex
tended to him.
In the case of Morse, it Is understood
the attorney general is averse to im
mediate relief but has recommended
that If commutation should be so as to
make the sentence expire in five years,
that in that event Morse would be re
leased after serving three years and
eight months, which Includes an allow
ance for good behavior. An official
statement was issued . by the depart

reports that Morse is in a critical con

banking firm, also of New Tort Their
visit to Pensacola had twice been de
layed on account of Mr. Megargel be

on business connected with the road.
Upon reaching the city Mr. Me

Pensacola prepared to aooept the fran

city several weeks ago, and also
his willingriees to post the forfeit re
quired of him by the city as a guaran

Mr. Megargel is prepared to carry
out his end of the agreement just as
soon as cltisens, with whom he has
been negotiating, carry out theirs,
that of subscribing to $260,000 of first
mortgage bonds of the railroad. The
latter will be Interviewed by a citizens

amount will be secured within a few
days, at which time the ordinance will

Mr. Megargle Is well pleased with

In New York have terminated, and de

that he will be able to build the road
into Alabama as he had planned.

proposed railroad.
' "We-came to Pensacola yesterday."
said Mr. Erwln, "and while a sloppy
day is the worst time to see a town, I
must say that this is a fine little city
from all appearances and I have taken
It in pretty well.
' "Today I have looked over the site
for the terminals for the proposed road
and find it ideally located and think
it can be made one valuable to t!i - ' ty
as well as to the rallorad comp .n? .' I
have been looking over the oCher r 1
of ' the lin, up In Alabama, and 't
looks favorable from every viewpoint,
and so far as I have seen I belie v. i
Mr. Megargle will have on trouble in
obtaining the money to finance his un
dertaking. "The capitalists of the north are just
beginning tr realize the possibilities vi
the south and are finding this a most
profitable field in which to Invest? and
it Ip ray opinion that the proposition
offered In the proposed railroad '.la
a good one.
"The people of Pensacola seem to be
united in their desire to get another
railroad," said Mr. .Erwln, "and that
is the right spirit to have manifest in
a community. ( Capital is easily obtain
ed when the local people are with &
movement and it adds to the security
of the Investment. It should be this
way, though, for the city and the road
will be mutually benefitted, the city
getting, better transportation faciltles
and the road making substantial divi
dends. "Unless something , turns up to
change my mind." continued Mr.
Erwin. "I see a" bright future for this
territory. The climate is Ideal and
permits the laborers and farmers to be
at work twelve months in the year.,
while In the north and northwest the
working - months range from six to
eight. I am not as familiar with the
agricultural possibilities of the coun

they are practically unlimited.
"When the road is started I am sure
there will be no let-up In the work,
