NEW Fire Seeds Nearly 0oe Hundred And Fifty Mo Eternity NO OUTSIDE ESCAPES Girls Forced to Leap From Eighth story Windows. EDDIES HORRIBLY MANGLED Pier Morgue Filled With Charred Remains of Those Unable to Escape From Building-Women ' Faint In Arms of Nurses as L Work of Identifing Dead Pro gresses. New York, March 27. Conditions which ellowed nearly ISO persons to fee trapped In a. 10-8tory Jmildins when, fire started and proper means of escape was lucking, were de nounced by architects, city officials, state factory inspectors and various dric bodies. District Attorney "Whitman said: "I do not believe that a more im portant subject could be put before a grand Jury than the Inexcusable con ditions that seem to prevail all over Manhattan, l'crhaps the laws are not drastic enough; possibly such laws aro not rigidly enforced; at any rata it will -9 essential, I think, for tao grand jury to spread oeiore tne public the exact situation. If the right kind cf laws are lacking; public opinion will get them. If the taws haven't been enforced, the grand Jury may be able to find out who is to blame. Fire Chief Croker tells me that the shocking conditions at the Asch building are duplicated all through the factory district and. that (t has been impossible for him, de cplte numerous appeals and protests. to mako any headway. Fire Commis sioner Waldo agrees absolutely with bis subordinate. I can not believe that an occurrence so shocking can pass without something definite be ing done to protect the thousands of workers, who seem to be helpless as things are now." MORE BODIES RECOVERED Two Gfris Crashed Through Pave ment Light to Basement. New York. March 27. Three more bodies were found In the ruins of the Asch building, corner of Washington, place and Greene street, occupied by the Triangle Waist company, when searchlights from fire apparatus were turned upon the blackened walls and. firemen with lanterns Invaded the premises. This Increases the num ber of deaths to 145. Firemen felt for hours around In (ha water under a hole In the side walk vault lights on the Greene Street side, a hole made by falling bodies, but discovered nothing. One of them, happening to look up, Baw tiro bodies of young women beneath .which he and his companions had walked many times. The two dead elrls were lying on a lattice of steam, ipes, about four feet below the hole la the vault lights. Their bodies had. broken the concrete and glass vault lights of the pavement and had fall a through the sidewalk hole to the taam pipes. Later firemen working- in the cel lar of the building came across, a body at the foot of. the shaft of the two freight elevators on the north side of tie building. It was so badly urned and mutilated that the fire men wer unable to tell whether It was a man of a woman. Charles Atcaraan of fire patrol No. 2 found part ot an arm and shoulder near the sorts end ot the cutting room, of the eighth floor, where the fire started. bMtt&th a Ella cf wet faster sad TO BE PROBED' bits ot warped sewing: machines. Shortly after this a. hand was. found: on the window ledge ot the- fifth: floor on the Greene street aide, evidently broken from the wrist of a. failing: body. Two charred arms and x burned foot were found on. the ninth: ficor. Bodies Taken ta Morgue. Two dead bodies and the hits or charred remains were sent, to the morgue. When the body found at the foot of the freight elevator shaft had been, sent to the morgue there was a tow cf to pine coffins: painted a. dull red stretched along: the south: side of the covered pier and 63 along; the north side, each, containing; a. body which. In. most cases, was un recagnizablc. Twenty-six ot the 63 coffins along: the north side cf the pier were- cow red. Knowing- that these hadles had been Identified. Of the line- ot IS across the pier the lids of seven, had been, fastened to the coffins-. The relatives or close- friends who: were looking- for their dead at the pier morgue began, to- come an: hour or two after the first body arrived ,there acijj thesu.were.stin, ux. Una; at dawn. The line of people waiting: a chance ta leak, at the victims at the fire strong from, the pier entrance back on Twenty-sixth, street, a. Ions block to First avenue, and then south, on First avenue to Twenty-fourth-street There were- froek-coatedyouns men carrying: canea who laughed and: chatted with well-dressed girls aatl line Jostled slowly eastward toward the pier entrance. Walte-capped-nurses from. Bellevue and the allied hospitals really had more to do with, the handling of the crowds than, the police. On. the south, side of the- pier was a white-enameled table. Many times there would be heard a, shriek and a nurse would clasp her arms around the woman, who had either begun to grow- hysterical upon, recojp nizlng her dead or who had fainted from the horror that lay stretched sll about. Blame C'ffaret Stub. Max. Blanck, one ot the proprietors ot the Triangle company, told the? reporters that It was against orders to smok in. their lofts. The report ers, while clambering- over the debri on, the eighth floor, at the place where the fire started, saw amid the half-burred pocketbooks, shoes and bits of clothing-, a, scorched cigarec box. In another part ot the building: were a number of halt-smoked cigar ets. lying on, the floor. Around same of the bodies cf the men. who. Jumuect and in the packets ot their clothes were quantities of matches. Ciner Croker said that he believed the fire was caused by a. smoker, who tossed either a. match, or a. lighted cigaret on. the flocr among- the piles at in flammable flimsy stuff used in. the manufacture of waists and lingeries There was not an. outside fire es cape on the building, and a. few mlnr utes after the fire was discovered the- windows were black with, girls. "Don't Jumpl Don.t Jump!" yelled the crowd, but the girls had. no alter native. The pressure ot the? mad- I dened hundreds behind them, and the urging of their own. fears were toa strong. They began, to fall, to the sidewalk in. a. terrihla rata, ot fflesa. and blood. In. such, a. horrible stream: did the bodies overflow from, the windows that the fire nets, stretched by the first company to arrive, were. soon, gorged beyond capacity. Twelve: bodies weighted one net ta the burst ins point, hut the bodies kept an. tumbling- ta the pavement through, the meshes that could not longer support them. The building- standi with. shelL in. tact and barely scarred rather only smudged. The partitions of architec tural tillnff between floor and floor are sound, and It la impossihla tor one who did not see It to imagine how the flames- ux so short space: could have wrought suck havoc; Seven, hundred hands. 5Qu cfr thent women, were employed by the. shirt, waist company.
