Support of main truss on a skew tiear4ng, combined with lack of stiffness- in connection between the end tost and lower chord of truss. tVl'ilure to anchor trusses and heavy beam into walls.

Absence of diagonal bracing be tween other trusses Inadequate strength of roof slab. the correction of any one of faults given under (1), (2), or (3) might easily have postponed the failure of the roof, the committee believes it would require the correc tion of all those listed from (1) to OA) to convert It into a safe structure.

The design, specifications and con Utrttction of this -bailcTing violated flagrantly the building laws of the District of Columbia in many re Specie. ''In the opinion, of the committee thlft disaster was the result of bad practice on the part of the architect and the contractor. The testimony offered at the coroner's inquest showed that the architect allowed the contractor to change the design of the reof framing and that ho did not cheek the sufficiency oX the new design but instead relied on the check of the computer in the office of the BOIMing Inspector. No. check on the sub-contractor's draftsman was required for dejails of construction.

rne contractor because of the substitution of a new design was placed ib the position of being directly responsible for the design, but that did ttot relieve the architect of his responsibility to the owner. the number of violations of the building code it is evident that the designing was carelessly done or what is worse, the violations were, aenoerate. To have the In pctor of Buildings aioume the re sitonsibility for the sufficlencv of the (totalis of the -sign of 'buildings vpuia r.e beyond the intent of the law tl would virtually nut the work of designing buildings in the hands of vhfi inspector and relieve the arehi iebt from that function almost alto iether." V.if Tl KrLLEO BY AUTO Carl Dunn, aged five years, son of Mrs. Bernico Dunn, of East Broad street, Nanticoke, died in Nanticokt Hospital last night from injuries re ceived earlier in the evening by being struck by an automobile near his home. A street car was standing oh a switch and the child started to run across the road, when a large touring car, owned by K.

M. Smith, of Alden, ran him down. The auto was traveling slowly, but on account of the street car the driver was unable to see the boy, and it is probable that the child dtdi jiot know that the automobile was approaching. Mr. Smith's chauffeur removed the boy to the hospital, where it was discov ered that he was suffering from a fracture of the skull.

He died wlth- out regaining consciousness. Sure Relief FOR INDIGESTION DELL-AIMS Hot water Sure Relief LUCKY rcpurteu me omittance nivoraoiy on first reading.

The police report on the sensational liquor case in Wilkesbarre in which a truck, said to have contained eight barrels of alcohol, was releaeld after having been taken to the Wilkesbarre police station, was made public last right by Mayor Hart.

The reason for the release of the truck, Chief of Police Brown explains, was that the arrest by Policeman Burke was unlawful, as it had taken place on George avenue, Parsons, outside of the city limits, and therefore beyond the jurisdiction of the ixlicenian. Policeman Pu-rke admitted that he had left the city and went to Parsons to make the arrest, but the report fails to mention that Burke first hailed the truck within the city limits, boarded the machine and then rode to Parsons before he could get the driver to stop. The report does not say who ordered the release of the truck and liquor. The Woninc's Civic Club of Wilkesbarre is to have a permanent home.
