Both, the Federal and Eute authorities are anxious to bar the custdy of the embeasier' and direct his United SUte; District Attorney Burnett Contends that Ahrord should be delivered to the Federal authorities on the ground that' the i warrantt jfpr arrest was issued by i a.

There was nothing about the man to convey the Impression that he had ever been in the possession of any considerable amount of money. His qulck-shtf ting eye did not wppear to rest any one place more than a moment, and. although he was the observed of every person the courtroom. while artists were busy In their task of sketching him, he did not seem to take any more interest in whAl waa going on about him than if he had been a resruler court attendant and there- waa ncthfmr moreunusual going on of dnnk and disorderlies," Lawyer MiU ler tood by his-slue and prevented any body trora conversing with his District Attorney Gardiner entered the room before the case was called and had long tajk with. -Magistrals Flammer.

The District Attorney was accompanied by I.Ir. Hennessy. and It wasn-made known that they were ready to fight for the retention of the prisoner.

United State District Attorney Burnett when asked about the matter late in the afternoon, said that the cms.

of an em-bessllng teller of a National bank was one which should be dealt with by the Federal authorltiea. He added that he would go before Magistrate Flammer this morning and do ail in his power to convince him that this view is the correct one.

The list of persons reported missing, re vised to 2 O'clock this morning, shows fourteen unaccounted for. who may possibly have lost their lives In the disaster- The building In which Schmidt's body was found is In a very dangerous condition, and Superintendent Dooner of the Building Department" ordered that work should be stopped -until it haa been made safe.

In chemical lectures the minutest quantities are used In combination to show the explosive force of the mixture, The presence of sulphur In the building was not even guessed at at the time of the explosion, although the persons In adjoining buildings stated that after the second explosion they were overcome by the strong sulphurous fumes that filled the air. This was specially noticed in the bank of Meck-lem Brothers under the Irving National Bank, where every person was partially asphyxiated by the fumes. All of tbe officials connected with the various departments that have Jurisdiction In such matters say that a rigid Investigation will 1 made. Fire Marshal Seery. Chief Croker, Fire Commissioner Scannell, Superintendent Murray of the Bureau of Combustibles, and District Attorney Gardiner will co-operate In this Investigation.

There has been little change in the estimates of fire underwriters from the amount stated on Monday night The estimates varv from S.MJU.0U) to 1. 1 00.000.- Which lat ter amount is supposed to cover the plate- giass insurance losses sou tne uamage oy mok and water. Superintendent Dooner stated yesterday that it might be necessary to tear down some thirty buildings In the neighborhood which have become strained by the shock of the explosion. He has already condemned three on 'Greenwich Street when shoring up was found to be of no avail. This may cause some change in the insurance fis-ures.

-1- Plate glass underwriters are taking the stand that they are not technically liable for the losses In their line. This is disputed by other underwriters, who Say that the fire and explosions seemea to do too tnor ourhlv identified to permit of such a con struction of the clause of the policies aa the first named underwriters would put upon it. i -i The Building- Department stated last night that a large gang of men would be put to work to-day, and that work on the ruins will be rapidly pushed. Walls still standing will -be blown down with blasting powder as soon a th ruins cool Sufficiently to permit of Its use. EXPLOSIVES AT TARRANT'S.

Chlorate of Potash and Salphwr Stored la Bla- dsastlUcs-A is- pletoae Flast Two tons of chlorate of: potash and on ton of sulphur, which, according to a chem ical 'expert. Is of th most explosive combinations known to chemistry, werexln the building occupied by Tarrant fc Co. when It was demolished. Rogers d. Pyatt of 80 Maiden Lane, aay they had at least the quantity of potash mentioned stored with Tarrant Co.

The Fuller A Goodwin Company, represented, by Ed mund D. Congdon. 100 William Street had ten 250-pound barrels cf sulphur stored In the same These compound In quantity of three would, the expert mentioned says, haven force enough to wreck a building three" times the sixe of the one destroyed. So explosive is this mixture that it is used In tbe minutest quantity in chemical lectures to demonstrate to students the danger and the force of explosives. And so delicate Is the force required to set off the compound that when the operation of mixing the Ingre dients Is performed, each chemical is arround finely In a separate mortar and h.

mixed bv Mubtly scattering- the two powders Into each other on a paper. How many other firms stored chlorate of potash and sulphur with the Tarrant Company. It-is hard to say at present, as the officers, of that corporation so far refuse to say what was and what was not stored In their place. McKesson fc Bobbins, wholesale druggists at wl Fulton Street said yesterday, through John McKesson, that the goods owned by his firm in the wrecked building were valued at S1.50O and consisted mostly of chlorate of potash. Mr.

Rogers of Rogers Sc Pyatt was seen yesterday afternoon in his at fcO Maiden Lane. Rogers A Pyatt are Importers of guns, shellacs, and chemicals and manufacturers of varnishes. When a statement in an afternoon paper, which ouoted President Thomas F. Main of the Tarrant Company as saying: The Rogers Pyatt people stored much chlorate of HnlaadT Poland! Poland! PaUad! -Is ttm ursat aatval spring waiar la Ue arit -A4f potash with us, and this may have caused the explosion. I am inclined to think it was shown to him, Mr.

Rogers said: That statement I will not dispute with Mr. stain at the present time. We are warm personal friends. I saw -him only this morning. and found him so broken down over the catastrophe that I do not think he spoke with a clear head, I admit we stored chlorate of notasn with the Tar rant Company.

Vf Sonri aald that the potash amounted to something be-tween one-end two tons, and possibly even; more, though he was but guessing. sats rr is not an explosive. At any chlorate of potash In Itself Is not an explosive nor In any way a dangerous chemical to store. I could show you, a permit from the Inspector, of Combustibles for.

the Fire Department allowing us to carry th stock 20,000 pounds of chlorate Of potash right in our own building If chlorate of potash Is not combustible or explosive, why should a permit be necessary waa asked. I do not know, except that I am always extremely careful about every pound of chemical that comes in here. I never take a I am not a chemist and' cannot tell If -chlorate of potash might combine with another-ingredient to form an explosive. We handle most of the stuff for bleaching purposes for cotton 'print bouses. Some of it we sell to fireworks companies, who mix it with sulphur and nitrate of strontla to make red fire.

There are a great many other firms who stored -chlorate of potash and' other chemicals with Tarrant A Co. We used the place simply as a storehouse to keep our goods wnen we naa not room ror tnem in our owsn place. We had no shellac or gum or othes the time of the tirS'T The Schoellkonf. Hartford A Hanna Com pany, 100 William Street it was learned, likewise used Tarrant storehouse for chemicals of all kinds. A representative of the firm aald in answer to a question: i No, thank heaven, we bad no chlorate of potash in the wrecked building.

Our loss consisted merely of dyestuf fs. "Is chlorate of potash explosive under certain circumstances? I should say it was! -AlloW a.Uttie starch, or sugar, 'or or charcoal, or any other organic substance to mix in with it, and It is only a question of time when spontaneous combustion will take place. In a warehouse which haa been used for years for the storing of all sorts of chemicals, it would not be unreasonable to suppose that-the very floor boards In time had become saturated with mixture of chemicals forming; many known and unknown combinations. As far as this company is concerned, however, at the time or the explosion oap pened not to have chloride of potash. in that In the same bulletins- with the Schoellkonf.

Hartford A Hanna Company is the chemical concern, Harshaw, Goodwin Company of Chicago, represented in this -city by Edmund I. Congdon. This firm is one of the largest -Western chemical manufacturing concerns. Mr, Congdon was making up tbe list -of chemicals he had lost in tne wrecx. We had no chlorate of potash in store at-the time." -Mr.

Congdon said. We bad, considerable chemicals that were Inflammable, among these ten 23K pound barrels of sulphur, and I should say about the same quantity of Bergundy pitch. Other chemicals we lost consisted of blue arsenic, oxides of antimony, and adds; I do not think anything wtKnad in storm (re could have caused or ex plosion, though, not knowing -what else was in tne warerooms, i am unaoie to say If a chemical combination might not. have taken place and caused an explosion, or, perhaps, spontaneous combustion." Philip Fits, Ph. Chief of the Chemical and Bacteriological Laboratory at.

-103 Broadway, was then seen and asked -for an expert opinion on. the properties of chlorate of potash, as to Its possibilities as an explosive, and as to whether, when In contact with- sulphur or another chemical substance, It would be likely, to form an explosive Dr. Fits saldr 4 "As to what took place In the warehouse to cause the explosion, -I will not say. The properties of chlorate of potash are as follows: When heated to a temperature of 400 degrees the elementary composition of chlorate of potash Is broken up. Oxygen gas is eet free, and this gas, the most vigorous known supporter of combustion, will cause an explosion which is terrific In effect Chlorate of potash, there-fores without any foreign admixture, explodes when subjected to a high temperature.

When brought into' contact with combustible matter, the potash deflagrates violently. Explosions may. occur by friction or from blows. A single grain of chlorate of potash rubbed in a mortar with a single grain of sulphur causes a violent explosion. This Is one reason why it cannot be used to the manufacture of.

gunpowder; and why in that case its place is taken by a nitrate. A mixture of ammonium chloride and chlorate of potash is so explosive that even the slightest quantities of it when mixed and -allowed to stand will explode in the course of time with a violent bang. The explosive property of sulphur and potash is so infallible that it is frequently used by chemists as a test for chlorate of potash. A similar exnloslve effect nar- be obtained by mixture with any organic substance, charcoal and flour, for Instance, A mixture of this kind it is impossible to preserve because of spontaneous combustion, which is sure to take Chlorate of potash Is used by calico print manufacturers, also for medicinal purposes, especially for ailments of the throat One of the most extensive uses of the salt Is in the manufacture of fireworks. How chemical combination might take place in a warehouse Jammed year In and year out with chemicals and 'filled with vapors and gases it is not my place to say.

That must be left for further r- FOUR SUSPICIOUS DRUMS. Another discovery that may be an Important factor in establishing the cause of the explosions in the Tarrant Building was made last evening. When the building collapsed and its elements fell into the streets 1 there rolled into Greenwich Street near Warren Street three drums made of sheet Iron, riveted with strong iron chines and bands, so as to permitof the rolling of the drums without danger of rupturing the shelL Each was of the capacity of loo gallons. Three of the drums were rolled to Warren and Greenwich Streets and one remained at the northwest corner of these streets, imbedded in wreck that was yet burning or hot. The drums attracted the attention of Fire Marshal Peter Seery, who was familiarizing himself with the fire and its surroundings, in order to have personal knowledge when his official investigation of it Is held.

Mr. Serry was with Assistant -District Attorney James J. Walsh, who was detailed to watch all proceedings by District Attorney Gardiner. With them was-Detective Lyons, who i detailed to the service of the Fire Department. Mr.

Seery mas inquisitive about tbe drums, and he told the police officer to discover what they contained. Lyons removed the steel screw stopper in one of the drums, and found that an odor of naphtha came from He secured soda water bottles, and from the first drum, which was nearly empty, he drew a liquid that was clear and the color of whisky, oily, blghly volatile, and having the odor of benzine or naphthaline, A -second drum was found empty. Tbe third drum was nearly full, and a sample of Its contents waa taken. It was of about the character of that taken from the firat drum, but of a more oily- nature. Each poured on the hands, evaporab-er quickly, leaving an odor of caphtha.

The fourth drum will be sampled to-day. Tha hot ties containing- the samoles will be 1 taken to the Bureau of Combustibles, end i tbe contents will be analysed. If they are found to contain a volatile and Inflammable fluid like naphtha, benzine, er gsoline, a case against Tarrant A Co. wtll be established if it can be proved that the drums were in their building, as they had no permit to have such dangerous stuff on the premises. Marshal Seery.

found no one responsible for the presence of the drums in ths Tarrant Building. An attempt to find Thomas K. Main. President of Tarrant A at his. house, South -Washinrton Square, last night failed.

Bodies Brought to Light by the Wreck-' are Some Pathetic Incidents rlntruslon cf Politics. "No more utter scene of desolation anJ sodden ruin could be depicted by word 'or brush than that. left by the fire and explosion ef Monday in the Tarrant and which more or less wrecked all the buildings co twd blocks bounded by Greenwich, Washington, Warren, and Murray Streets. The gray light of yesterday, the mist and fog, 'added to th sullenTy smoidericg ruins, over which hovered great clouds of steua and' grayish-yellow smoke, all conspired to make the seen as -desolate lojdng as Palpitating engines stood on' all corners- pumping; water-, into the smoldering rum, over which bedraggled. begrimed, and.

FIRST BODT tI' TERED. The first body discovered yesterday 'was in the building on the sou: -est corner of Greenwich and "Warren tintts.

It wsj that of H. SchmUt, 1 year old. an engraver, of .500 on Avenu, Brooklyn, who had an on the so- body lies under a great hr of wreclc sr, but It was viewed by Arthur Shr-' i son of the dead man. who positively fled It. According to young Set story, his father's death was dvw herolo effort on his part to get all other people out of the building befo sought' a place of safety.

He tarrlot long, and death was the Reward heroism. Arthur Schmidt worked for his fat who also employed three girls In his -graving business. Mr. Schmidt acc-or-' to his son's statement well knew the gerous character of the neighboring bu ing, and' when It was een that the was gaining headway he' told the girl bis son to seek a plice of safety. He got- he girU out" alJ you: Schmidt and 'then went through tne house to see If any one else was thwre who should be warned.

When he returne-i I was still there, and hu forced me out of the place, telling me to get out of danger.

I could do nothing then, and went home, thirktc? that perhaps father had gone in a different direction and bad escaped, but when I did not find him at home I knew that the worst had happened." The building In which the body was discovered is the only one on the block that Is not entirely demolished. It became so dangerous laaf night that Superintendent Dooner would not allow any more wore to be done in it and tbe body must be allowed to remain where it is until It is safe for the workmen to remove it From its position It appears' that Mr. Schmidt was makmtf bis way oat of the building when the second explosion occurred and brought Lua building down about him. 6hortly "after 10 o'clock last nlg-nt mpn working on the ruins In front of tbe 1 arrant Building uncovered a human foot an 1 part of a skull. They looked to be parts a woman's body.

Diligent search -brought to light later another part of a skull mi part of a human trunk. The portions ir burned to a crisp and no identification them Is possible. They were assumed to be parts of the same body and were ent the Morsrue, where they will be known Body No. "Two hours later -a workman found a black cheviot coat on the spot wh-re human remains had been foun4.
