MANY TRINKETS PICKED UP Same Money Dropped by Victims Alto Found in the Street and In the Burned Building. All day thronga of men. u.nrn, and children, tome thera simply fit of curiosity while others -were still 'hoping to learn tha fata of relatives or Memis, flocked to tha scene of Saturday's fire, and, although nona wti allowed to tli rwllcertlnes, thouaanda hunir alwmt for They even remained tumliftrf? there after It had been announced that a moat thorough search of the building had failed to reveal any mora bodies. Hundred of tha spectators, ftintlo with grief, beggod the police to let them paaa tha Tinea to help In tha March of tha building. Most of those who had lost relatlvea had flrat been to tha hoipltala and Morgue, but found no trace of the missing onea.

The exterior of the atructura did not how so much' the effect of tha flames, but an inspection of the Interior made I'laln the havoo that had been wrought. The eighth, ninth, and tenth floors were completely gutted, and thera were plenty of evidencei of the terrific struggle that had gone on while the flamea raged. Blta of clothing which had been torn from the Klrls were scattered about. Here and there was found a shoe or a stocking. On ih nil of one of the windows on the ninth floor waa caught some hair torn from tha head of one of the victims as she sprang to her don tli.

The wearing apparel and other articles found among tha rulna of the factory were taken td the Mercer Street Station In large baskets by tha pa-uolnien, under tha direction of Capt. Henry. There hundreds of men and women, o'rea of them weeping and broken down by the nervous strain which they had undergone, helped In the examination of grewaome relic. Many found articles liirh they recognized, and begged the Lieutenant In charge to allow them to take them away. It Is believed that many the b.dles will be Identified by these uiiiK-ig.

In the rear the single flro escape on the building la located.

Where it reached to the tenth floor It. waa torn away and twisted, although perhaps not entirely unserviceable. Assistant i Building Inspector L.udwlg, on seeing this, said that he could not positively de term hie whether this had been due to the Intense heat. He did r.ot know, he said, whether any had crawled out on the fire escape and thus broken It. The fire escape measured, and waa Just 18 Inchea Ih Width.

Jt la now believed that many of the girls ware pushed from the windows by the othera who were seeking to escape the flam that enveloped them. The windows reach almost from ceiling to floor.

A tape showed that from the lower sill to the rioor was but eighteen Inchea. (Her tbls the struggling girls must have quickly been pushed. At the northeast corner of the building Is the freight elevator. Tha doors were closed yesterday and were warped and blackened with the beat. All around the Hevator shaft could be seen tha signs of fno terrible panic which had ensued there.

It was near this shaft that manv pieces of torn dresses, hatpins, and buttons were found. Plremaa Plods Evidence of Heroism. Fireman T. J. "Alchman, who was stationed on the ninth floor, found the part of a ahoulder bone la a heap of rubbish yesterday afternoon.

It may mean still another victim, but, although a thorough search waa made, no other part of tha body could be found. There waa one brave little lass Jumped to her death from thta floor," said Fireman Alchman, and I think there were a lot of heroines. If the truth could only be known. The girl I refer to was found crushed to death on the pavement below, with a water bucket clasped tlghtlv in her arms. She had been trying to fight the fire, poor child.

They had to pry the bucket out of her arms. Who was she? Oh. I don't think any one wjll ever know.

She said that in all there were about whenhe flrekeSouatn Ten oV thu "u-4 oer were men. employed as cutters. The first lntlmatianxshe had of any dangur was when she heard the windows on the eighth and ninth floora breaking and saw the smoke and flames pouring out.

I shouted Fire! Fire! at the top ot my voice and called to the others to go onto the roof," she eald. Then ther was a perfect bedlam. The glrla fought wtth one another to get to the stairway. The flames wore rushing up the staircase by this time, and we were all nearly crazea with fright. One of the glrlal luugm cesperateiy to get to the window nd, although we tried to drag her back, she flung herself out and went crashing to the street.

Bhe was the only person on the tenth floor who waa killed. The rest of us got to the roof and were rescued." The rlrl who flung herself from the window, Miss Weselossky said, was Clot I Id Gerranova. It was one of the saddest oi the many tragedies of the fire. The girl was to leave the factory within a week to be married. Those who climbed to the roof from the tenth floor were aided in escaDlna- bv Witt, a law student living at 117 NVayerly Place, and two other stu-dents.

De Witt said that he had first been startled by the outcries of a number of children in Washington. Square, and then a man came running along the roof of the New York University Building calling or ladders. Fortunately there was a ladder which had been used In painting a flagpole, and this waa pressed jnio service. By this time a number of the girls huddled on the roof of the burning building were so frantic with terror, said De Witt, that they crawled to the edge as If preparing to jump to certain death. Some of them also started to go back into the building, crying out that a sister or a friend was Inside, but by thla time the flames had progressed so far that they were driven back again to seek refuge on the elevator shaft.

From this they were transferred to the roof of the university building by means of the ladder, which Just reached from the coping. It was a horrible sight; one that sickened us.f said De Witt. but the excitement of the moment gave us strength, I think about sixty yes, at least that number were transferred across tho ladder." None of the glrla, he said, Jumped from the roof. William A. Coakley, Assistant Superintendent -of Buildings In Brooklyn and a former President of the Central Federated I'nlon, visited the fire sone yesterday afternoon.

Wo have been proceeding against violations of the law and have found many of them." i Robert A dam son. secretary to Mayor Gaynor. looked over the scene of the flro at about noon. He said that Mayor Oay-nor hoped to Inspect tho building before nightfall but the Mayor did not put In an appearance.

Lieut. Kennell. the Mayor's police aid. waa there, hut stated that he waa not; acting officially for the Mayor, but was simply a spectator. Ho talked for a few minutes with Commissioner Waldo and then went away.

The oaly living things that remained on the eighth, ninth, suid tenth floors and came out of It alive were a horde of mice. One of the little creatures, almost drowned, and Just able to drag Its body about, was caught by Chief Croker on the ninth floor and taken to Fire -Headquarters by him.

i An alarm of flro was sounded from the Hotel Raleigh, next door to the Broadway Central, yeoterday morning. The hotels are within a short distance of the acene of Saturday's fire, and the guests at the Broadway Central were thrown Into a panic, most of them having the tragedy fresh In tbelr minds.

"When both sides had been wearied by tho long struggle and It aeemed they could get together, Mr. Blanck came to our representatives and pleaded with us that las had a business reputation to sustain that he didn't want it to seem that we had beaten him into making changes. Ha said If- we would only help him save his face and let the girls go back he would see that the Improvements were speedily made and every sanitary regulation suggested waa complied with. "Ills words were reassuring. We thought he had aeen the Justice of our rfeoaands for decent working conditions.

He was the largest man in the business, controlling factories in Newark and Philadelphia, as well as In New york. We trusted him. and let our girls go back. "They found that each experienced girl was required to teach six Italian girls all she knew about the business these six being seated near her machine to see her sew. Then we found the experienced girls, as soon as they had done tho Instructing necessary, were dismissed.

"All who had Joined In the strike as leaders were dismissed, one by one, whenever excuses, however slight, could be found. The union girls were put exclusively on the eighth floor, after others had been Instructed to do their work, and thus It Is that there are so many employes other than Jews who met their death. The employes, up to the time of the strike adjustment, were nearly all Jewish." aye Girls Were lodernatd. Miss Dreler recounted the manner 1n which she was arrested in front of the place, and then received apologies from tho police when her Identity becama known and reproaches from the policeman who had taken her into custody for not telling him who she was. so that he oould have avoided the mistake" She said that In every union shop the -girls were raid dO cents a dosen for doing wcrk for which the girls In the Triangle shop got cents a dosen, and thrft it waa because of this low rata that tha girls were still at work at an hour when employee had left oft work tn nearly all the factories of the city.

She thinks the wage Is fair; her more experienced sisters know that 110 a week is leivi than needed to keep decently alive. And there you have the game Harris at Dianck played they exploited the newly arrived amd unsophisticated and turned out those to whom they pledged that thev would change conditions in their shop." Ids Row, a field worker tor th league, told of her experiences trying to get the Mayor, and the Building Department to take action against known flretraps, following the Newark disaster.
