It was stated at the Mahoney residence that Msheney had not been home curing the afternoon and that he maintains no offloe in Pasadena where he might be located.

The Pasadena city, directory gives no business address for Mahoney, who Is said to be a building conti actor, CITS' HELD NOT LIABLE In announcing the city's plans for thorough Inquiry into the crash, Howard deolared that In his opinion, the city of Pasadena Is not liable In any way for damages suffered by spectators injured in the crash. He further declared that full liability to injured persons will fall upon the shoulders of the builder of the stand "if negligent construction can be proven," From A. C. Shaver, 408 North Raymond street, chief building inspector for Pasadena, it was learned that official statement ot the department will not be made until Shaver can consult with Howard, and check over his records. Shaver further declared he first will obtain direct Information as to the stand construction from C.

B. Buck. nail, 180 North Chester street, the building Inspector assigned to inspection of all stands erected along the parade route, ma jority of which are understood to have been constructed by Mahoney. Each of the grand stands, Shaver declared, was subject to stringent tests of strength as required by the city building ordinances, in this case a load teat of twice the required carrying capacity of the structure, or 260 pounds of dead weight to the square foot. This test was given under Bucknall, according to Shaver's information last night, and Bucknall was characterized by his chief as one of the moat proficient men in this lino In Southern California.

FIRST OF ITS KIND Mahoney waa Identified by Shaver as the man to whom the building permit for the structure was awarded and ho further veiatab-lished the builder as having followed similar activities for Tournament of Roses parades for the last several years. Yesterday's ac the first of the kind government. It will be conducted along two lines, Howard said, which he gave as follows: First, to determine whether or pot the specifications for that type of construction as contained in the Pasadena building ordinance, are faulty. Second, to determine whether or not there was any failure of adequate Inspection by the city building inspector" office. While Howard's opinion absolved the city of liability in the affair, he further declared the Tournament of Roses Association can in no way be held accountable by the injured persons.

Thla statement upholds tho one made short ly after the accident by Malcom Fraser. the Tournament of Roses, which denied all responsibility on the part of the association. Fraser statement follows: "Our association has not now nor has it ever been connecte'd in any way with the erection of stands in Pasadena. Such stands are built on private property by persons entirely outside our authority." GIVES OPINION Howard, who wss Interviewed at his home at 26 Oak Knoll Garden, gave as his opinion, that: 'If negligent construction can be proven, the owner of the stand would be liable to Injured persons. There would be no liability on the part of the city." All such damage actions would be ot a civil nature, he further declared, unless gross negligence in construction is proven.

In the latter case, the faulty construction should be recognized by the inspecting official, who might be made personally liable for damages. The status of the city, however, would not be changed, he said, as the city government can not be held to account for failure cf any of its arents. The wrecked i was located on the southeast comer of Madison and Colorado, a private lot owned by E. H. Lockwood, 820 Palmetto Drive, a member of a prominent Pasadena family.
