occupied tiy the American Tent and
Awning Company, The building sud

dozen me-.i who were* caught in th?
rrash had not been reached hy their
/ard working companies, two liour? la
ter, tt is almost absolutely certain that
a y Ve S!:^p?mbed. Tho dead:
August Thi< try, |irs4l assistant chief,
^<?aU8 in ,!u> n,ins: Michael Kehoe,
? wiBtant foreman, caught In tho ruins;
IMnieliJtceie, foreman, caught In ru?
ln^, W niy li.uvler and Charles Kron-?
lug, pipeiwt-a, I'atrick Uerger, assistant
foreman, three pipemen, names un
known, caught in ruins. The Injured:
Prank Litvo, <t ;? or of aerial truck,
thrown from tn. ; while working 40
feet above tho ground; Monroe Moore,
Inspector for the Imperial Electric
Light Company, badly injured by fall
ing through a shaft; Patrick McCarthy,
engineer, cmeht by falling walls?, se
riously hurt; William, Julicb, driver
for Marshal Thirdly, caught by falling
walls, seriously hurt.
The building in which the fire origi
nated was )ov>itcd in the old business
section of 1 1 1 (? (.7 1 y and was about fifty
years old. 'IhV fobtze. which proved a
master, had been brought practically
under control when suddenly, with ab
solutely no warning, the building col
lar?. * I an1 cnnv? down in a heap with
n noise that could be heard for blocks.
Three piprtiun at work on tho sccon 1
. floor had had difficulty In managing a
lino of hose and Assistant Chief
Thierry was o:i his way with Ih'ce of
his u'.en to lend them aid when the
building crdlapsed. The men went down
with tons of twisted iron, brick, stono
and wooden columns enveloping thcni.
Chief fiWiiiv.U y. who was in front of
the buildin::. directing his men, hail a
miraculous csrap? from death. As the
^f ront wall fell outward he hurried
across the street and fell under the
aerial {ruck. The truck was covere t
with debris and partially wreoked, and
It was to its sheltering protection that
tho chief owes his life. Frank Lingo,
o driver/of the truck, was directing a
stream on i)u fire from th? aerial lad
wl^r. nbov.t ' fret from the ground
when the w ill f< II. A portion of the
debris s.'ri\c!? him and lie was hurled
through th<*air the ground, receiv
ing proiiablv fatal injuries.
Chief Sw.nslry put his entire force
to work at once and made an effort '.o
rescue firemen, but although the
men worked heroically they had not
b'rJ able to reach the victims at mi I'
ll ignt. It is certain that all arc dead, as
ton s of debris cover them.
Following is a list of the losses:

$25,000; Herman Uupprdt,., job printer,

of July 3?
"?? con<l. nntl quite a (lirrcrent pro

"The first point is purely a technic]
once, v. lie re we have (he case. of a run
ninn; fii/ht. foverljii; a distance of about
forty mlh-s, ati:l the question is affect
ed by the naval practice of rcaeitiug
distant ship3 by repeating signals.
"Tpon the second point. whether
Commodore Schley i.s entitled to the
credit for winning that battle, the tes
timony from himself and his innin wit
ness is so eone.lnsivc as to give no
d >?'! In t'in co uree-of th? proceedings
I'fvo the'ioitrt at ir.quiry. every prop

Commodore Schley did anything to

"The weicht of tcatimohy is to the
cffect that the commodore controllo.1

Brooklyn, well, with the exception of
the loop. Hut It also shows, not ne.?a-?
tively, but affirmatively and beyond
question, that he did not control the
?^ftations of the fleet in general on
Wit day.
"All this is established, not by theo
