City Officials Place All the Blame for Asylum Catastrophe on State Six Investigations Under Way. Smith Plans Action to Prevent Repetition of Hospital Disaster Albany, N.

Feb. 19 Governor Smith plans to take immediate action to prevent a repetition of the Manhattan State Hospital catastrophe. He awaits a detailed report on the disaster from Chairman C. Floyd Haviland of the State Hospital Commission and State Architect Pilcher before he makes any recommendations. if the reports arc forthcoming during the day, the Governor may send a special message to the Legislature tonight.

in the opinion of the Governor, no amount of fire-fighting apparatus would have made any great change, as the blaze started among wooden rafters and a high wind dissipated the smoke so that it could not be readilyseen. The loss of life, he believes, would have been less if the hospital had not been overcrowded. "The remedy," he said, "is new hospitals.

MJ.l.) London, I'eb. 19 The Ronar Law Government this week will be up against its first real test of strength and the decision Parliament makes goes much farther than Its effect upon the internal situation in the British Both branches of the Liberal pary are joining with the determined I.a-borites in demanding that Great Bri-laln withdraw In troops from the Rhino and should they win enough progressive 'onservative votes io I heir cause the whole European aspect will be changed and it is finite possible it would mean another gen eral election in Knglnnd. The question of the Ruhr will not come up as a separate proposition, but in the nature of a Liberal amendment to the speech from the throne, read when Parliament opened. But rhould the vote be adverse to the Government It would certainly be tantamount to censure. Of course, the Covernment has' a clear majority In the Commons over any or all combinations of opposition factions, but what is worrying tho leaders is how many who are listed as Conservatives might vote to remove the army.

There are two outstanding facts that are apparent to any neutral observers here: I'irst, that opinion still is as strong as ever that France should not be deserted; and. second, a growing Idea that Great Britain is inviting more every day she leaves the army on the iihine. OF COAL UPSTATE Gives 9 Carloads to Suffering Citizens Goethals Sanctions Raids. Saratoga Springs, X. Feb.

19 Xiufi carloads of anthracite coal standing in tho local Delaware and Hudson Railroad yards were seized this morning by Dr. Arthur J. I-eon ord, Commissioner of Public Safety, and diverted to a nearby roal yard for distribution by city policemen and firemen in emergency cases. The seizure was ma do after city officials in conference wilh Fuel Ad ministrator Kilmer had been in formed that no coal had arrived he-is over (he week-end and there was no likelihood of any arrivals uurrng itie day. Mayor MeXulty and other city officials announced that they would co-operate in the stlzure and authorized the Commis sioner of Public Safety to put- into effect the plan which was prepared Saturday but was held in abeyance until today on a promise that, emergency coal would be sent here.

All city police and firemen off duty- were ordered to the' yards. The police were under orders to make arrests if resistance was offered by railroad employees. The railroad detectives offered no resistance until Commissioner ordered railroad employees to attach an engine to one of the trains and draw the cars to an adjoining coal yard. When the D. 11.

employees refused to obey. Dr. Leonard filled their places with members of his police force who were former railroad employees. As the volunteer crew piloted the engine across the yards, D. Sr 11.

detectives ordered them to stop and stepped into the cab. A pitched battle followed In which the detectives were thrown from the engine, one of them was placed under arrest and the engine went on with its work. When notified hy the yardmoster hat he was interfering with interstate commerce Dr. Leonard replied that he had seized the coal under the health laws of the State on the grounds that life and health were being endangered in this city because of lack of coal. Saratoga Springs.

X. Feb. 19 In an effort, to the coal famine which has already resulted in the death of one person and widespread suffering in northern Xew York, representatives of the Federal Fuel Administration and the American Railway Association and Interstate Commerce Commission inspectors were expected to be in conference today with Clarence B. Kilmer, 4th district administrator, who threatened to permit residents in stricken communities to seize coal standing along sidings. Mr.

Kilmer was notified over the week-end by residents of Fort Edward, Whitehall and other communities in the district that they would wait no longer, but would take the law into theler own hands today. Sentiment favoring the seizure of coal was intensified by the death of Miss Alice Davis, 72. of Whitehall, who was found frozen to death in her home. The coroner discovered thai there was no coal In tho house. and tlie woman's attempt to start a fire with green wood had failed.

Three just causes for seizure were outlined hospital and charitable ne cessities and emergencies involving tlie preservation of human life. The Xew York antral Kaiiroau offered to co-operate in coal diversions to suffering localities. At General Goethals' suggestion cars carrying about 900 tons were imme diately ordered shunled from Tica to Saratoga.

Fivo cars of Lackawanna coal were seized on instructions from John F. Bertnlngham. pivsideni of the coal company, and the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western Railroad. The Delaware ind Hudson reported that 1-3 carloads had been shipped out of Carhondale.

Washington, Feb. 19 Since hist Friday operating officials of the Delaware Hudson Railroad have been concentrating all of the facilities of that road on the movement of an-thracite coal to the exclusion of everything else except perishables, according to testimony put today before the interstate Commerce Commission.

De Emo, 30, of 266A Bainhridge three weeks ago to quit a far more remunerative position to take a job as attendant in the hospital for the insane, where he died while trying to rescue inmates. He was married five years ago In Chicago. A short time later his wife, Mary, 29, together with her mother, Mrs. Kelly, came to Brooklyn. De Emo remained in Chicago, where he was employed as a clerk.

Mrs. De Emo went to Ward's Island as a student nurse. She had nine months to serve before she will bu graduated. Twelve months ago Do Emo came to Brooklyn to rejoin his wife. Because she got homo only two days every two weeks he decided to work as attendant in the hospital.

His wife is ill with influenza in the nurses home on Ward's Island, and there are three children, George, Elizabeth, and Michael, 3 months. Solomon Applebaum. ti2, of 115 S. 2d another Brooklyn victim of the fire, had been an inmate of the hospital for about two years. His son, Morris, -was making arrangements for his discharge when the fire took his life.

It was stated by Mrs. Uachael Applebaum, daughter-in-law of the victim, that he had complained frequently of unsanitary con. ditions in the hospital. She said he FARM BLOC OPENS FIGHT TO FORCE RURAL CREDITS Washington. Feb.

Both were blue and frightened. Their father. Samuel, had kicked them out and slammed the door in their faces. In tlie police station, beside a warm fire, the boys thawed out and described their experiences as Arctic explorers in the heart of Brooklyn.

Transit Commissioner Leltoy T.

Ilarkness stated today that Boro President Connolly of (jueens, work ing in co-operation with the commission, had already laid I he case before I he legislative leaders, de. manding an annrorjriation of the State's share this year so as to start work at once. "If the Legislature appropriates me Mates share toward the said Mr. Harkness, "the Commission can under the law compel the city to appropriate Its share and issue orders that will make it mandatory on the part of the railroad to carry out its part. Without such an appropriation 1 rom the Legislature, however, we are powerless to compel action." not) Appropriation.

The estimates of tho cost of elim ination now before the. Transit Com mission total $10,000,000, so that the request that has been made to the finance committees of the two bodies Is for a $2,500,000 item in the General Appropriation Bill. L. V. Morris, chief engineer of the Long Island, Saturday night estimated the whole cost of the work proposed, including four-tracking where the line is now two tracks wide, at about 1 0.OOO.OuO.

There is probably some divergence of figuring in this, since the cost of tho railroad would be more than the simple cost, of elev'atlng, because that cost, as figured by State law. would not include additional facilities, such as four-tracking, which was referred to by Sir. Morris as work that would bo included when the elimination was done. This, however, is a minor consideration and will bo worked out when tlie detail plans arc -figured. Hills calling for the elimination of the grade crossings along Atlantic ave.

have been drafted by Senator Charles B. Russell and Assemblyman Howard C. Franklin. It. is expected that they will be presented to the.

Stale Legislature at the earliest moment. The organizations in the immediate vicinity of Atlantic in East New York, which have taken up the fight, are: Atlantic Avenue Business Men's Association, J. Phillips, president; Twenty-second District Democratic Cluo, P. Sin- not leader: Cypress Hills Board of Trade. tavid I Price, president, and the Highland Park South Civic Association, Judge Edward A.

Richards, president. Besides these there are the clvioand other organizations of Wroodhaven, Ozone Park and Hill, which will carry on the fight In their own county. Would Eliminate, The Highland Park South Civic body, which has been instrumental in procuring many developments for the East New York section, but. which lias been lying dormant for more than a year, has called a session for the early pan of next month. This organization, with its reputation of powerful influence in civic will bring every pressure to bear in order to assure the immediate elimination of all grade crossing as well as the entire elevated structure along Atlantic ave.

.1. MeCue. vice president of the Highland Park body, in describing tlie conditions existing along AHau-tic east of Manhattan Crossing, declared it to be a disgraceful mud-hole with death dealing grade crossings at every mile. "Atlantic ave. could be made into one of the finest boulevards in tlie country by removing tlie tracks, sur face and elevated and placing them underground." he Kuid.

Six city and State agencies began investigations today to ascertain at whose door lies responsibility for the death of 2'd maniar.i and three aU tmdants in tho Ward's Island lire of yt Moi day. Five of the bodies have not yet been found. It is possible that none of them ever will except as scattering bones and burned flesh. It is bft'iove-t that in the inferno of Wnrd 43 their bodies were nearly completely consumed. Of the bodies in the Bellevue morgue, only two have been positively identified.

Four may be Identified by their teeth. One may be identified by a scrap of clothing. The other 12 are so bady charred that it is improbable that they will ever be identified. Bv statements from Fire Commissioner Drennan, Marshal Thomas P. Brophy.

Commissioner Bird S. Coler of the Welfare Department, and other municipal officials, the City of New York disclaims any nnd all responsibility. The Manhattan State Hospital for the Tnsane is a State institution, without the jurisdiction of all city departments, and State has never indicated in any way that it needs or wants municipal assistance, according to the officials. Fire There Two Weeks Ago. Attendants examined by Marshal Brophy today told him that there was a fire in the same ward two weeks ago, but the city was not notified of it.

Two of the attendants found it. in the corner of the corridor and succeeded in extinguishing it with a hand hose. Officials, from Governor Smith, down, unanimously professed a suspicion that the Ward's Island buildings were not adequate or trustworthy in build. According to State Hospital Commissioner Haviland, protest after protest has been made, and rejected by Legislatures that refused to appropriate money either for fire fighting equipment or fireproof buildings. Governor Smith said that it was his belief many other State institutions are in a like condition of danger.

Chief Medical Examiner Xorrls said that Bellevue Hospital is as liable to such a tragedy as took place on Ward's Island. W. E. Mallalieu. general manager of the National Board of Underwriters, said today that in April, 19-0, one of the board's engineers inspected Ward's Island for the purpose of making recommendations.

This engineer found that "Hip buildings were lacking In fire resistive features and contained blind attics and other concealed space, together with absence of protection for communicating passages and vertical openings, such as stairways and that there was "an inadequate and unreliable water supply." that the "fire protection at night was negligible." Another Disaster Feared. Dr. Marcus B. Heyman, superin tendent of the asylum, said that a "fire many times as disastrous as that which swept the hospital yesterday may break out at any moment on this madman's island." has 75 structures, he said, of which 60 are house patients. Of the entire number but two are fireproof.

Commissioner Drenna said thar he believed the fire was "unavoidable." He doubted that blasting in Hell Gate could have shaken the electric wires loose in the building. "Perhaps if the patients had been persons of normal mentality the loss of life would have been slight." he said. Ho said his investigation was being conducted "for our own information." Michael Campbell. James Hill and John Curry, attendants in Ward 4a. came to his offices and were questioned this morning.

After leaving there, the three witnesses vent to see Assistant District Attorney Morgan Jones. At 2 o'clock they planned to be examined by Dr. Norris. Brigadier General Edward Burr. In charge of the blasting in the East fliver.

declared that he did not believe that the blasting caused th fire. He said that he was questioning engineers and would make a statement later. The Island is cuf Manhattan today so fa as the public is concerned. Dr. G.

Floyd Haviland. State Hospital Commissioner, and Superintendent Heyman of Ward's Island Hobpital. were engaged in an investigation on their own nccount. and indepetidem of possible prosecutions. The work of digging into the ruins after the other six bodies was rendered difficult and heart breaking by the cold nnd ioe.

The walls and debris, water souked under the hose streams of the firemen, are coated with ice. Picks rang on it like steel. Investigations Begun. Definitely started today are investigations by Deputy Fire Marshal John P. Prial.

for the Fire Department, and by Chief Medical Examiner Charles Norris. Marshal Prlal's Investigation began at 10 o'clock. Dr. Non is's was scheduled for 2 o'clock this afternoon. Investigations are also contemplat ed by the New York District Attor ney, the State Attorney General, by Captain Carey of the Homicldo Squad, and by the board of managers of the Manhattan State Hospital for the Insane, which is the correct name of the Ward's Island asylum.

Of particular interest tu the investigators will be the circumstances which prevented fire apparatus from reaching the Island. By a series of coincidences, apparently indicating negligence, or at least a lack of foresight, the New York City Fire Department was to all effect barrel from the Island. The State maintains a force of 1 chief and D) untrained men as firefighters on Ward's Island. The "firemen" also have other duties, Supr. Heyman sas that he haa repeatedly sought a larger force fiom the legislature.

I ireboat Missing. The one flreboat assigned by the City to assist in case of fire on Ward's Island was missing from ii -anchorage. It was learned later that it was undergoing repairs.

Professor Goodyear not only shed much luster on the museum as its curator, but ho was widely known as a lecturer and teacher of an. His particular specialty was in the field ot architectural refinement, In which he made many discoveries and researches of the utmost value, adding greatly to the world's knowledge. Jn his tatter years honors poured upon him from every city in the world. As an illustration of the high standing he enjoyed it was said today that his plans are incorporated in those for the new national cathedral lo be built at Washington. He had lectured in Edinburgh, Dublin, Home and many other foreign cities where his exhibits wor" shown, and he had just finished a aeries of lectures on the history of art and civilization covering the Egyptian period and including a detailed account of the explorations made in Egypt up to the time im mediately preceding the opening of Tutankhamen's tomb.

"They were made under the auspices of tliR Museum, and there is now in the museum a collection of between 700 and 800 photographs of architectural subjects comprising one of the most complete collections of its kind. His passing is a great loss not only lo the museum, but to archeology and architecture. He was a profound scholar and one of the biggest figures in the country in his lino.

"As the result of his researches important buildings in this country have already incorporated retlm- ments in their construction, among i hem being the Columbia Fniver- sity Library and the new Art Museum of Philadelphia, and they have been incorporated In the plans of tho new F.piscopa!
