To impiiro into those and other abuses the commission was appointed. Tho commission met in private, and tho evidence given befor.t it was regarded as privileged. This threw suspicion on tho commission, whose objects were to discover jobbery and prevent its possibility in the future.

Coroner Taylor was, after a Ions search, found this afternoon and wai asked as to whether he would hold mi inquest. "I have hoard none of the particulars of tho affair," he replied, "and as no-body has complained or asked for an investigation I had not thought of it." "Do you give permits for interment without certilicates from tho physi- cian?" ' "I don't give permits. I understand that somebody connected with tho sex-ton's office gives a permit when he gels a certificate from the undertaker. If I knew who the undertaker was I believe I would have the burial stopped." W. H.Skewes eiSons were tho under-takers, so tho coroner telephoned them and asked if tho body had been in-terred. "Yes, between 0 and 7 last night at Mt. Olivet," was the answer. "What does your permit assign as cause of death?" the men of mould were asked. The reply was start-ling. "We haven't made out our report yet, but under the circumstances, the death seems to be, accidental. I think we will make it so." "Jf tho death was accidental, why didn't you notify the coroner?" "Well, there was a physician there all the time, and we didn't think it was our duly so long as he was t hen!." And this endod thu telephone inter-view. "I shall call for an inquest,"the coro-ner asserted, "and if necessary 1 would have tho body exhumed. I hardly think it necessary, though, as tho testi-mony can be taken without that ar-rangement.

In the ninth were the Wesleru Union files. The associated press loses instruments, type writers, furniture and all its books, papers and reco rds, dating from 18iri, and a valua-ble reference' library. The loss is Irre-parable. All of the material for tho history of tho growth of tho press in America owas contained in letter books and files destroyed r.nd can never bo replaced.

OF THE WAMAliK. IKXTKST Room Were Completely Destroyed Saving Life. New Yokk, July 18 The distrib-uting room on the fifth floor, operating room dn the floor above, the associated press rooms and the restaurant on tho ninth floor wero completely destroyed. Seven lives were miraculously saved. A few minutes before 7 o'clock the op-erators began to arrive to go to work. About fifty men and young women had reached the operating room; when a messenger boy saw a puff of smoke under a tablo in the distributing room . on tho floor below the operating room. Ho scarcely had time to investigate the cause when the wooden tablo was in flames and the lire spreading with lightning rapidity. Ho rushed up stairs to notify the new arrivals that the 'building was on fire. They were com-pelled to go through the distributing room to get down stairg. A panic was the result. Women screamed and men rushed pell-me- ll down stairs to escape the flames, which in less than two min-utes spread almost the entire distribut-ing room, burning up wires, instru-ments and . tables as if they were so much tinder. The entire room when the panic-stricke-crowds passed through it was filled with a dense, stifling smoke. They fell over each other in their wild efforts to reach a place of safety. By this time flames reached the ceiling of the dis-tributing room and were eating their way through tho operating room, where the instruments that connect with tho wires that distribute tho news throughout the country aro 'located. In less time than it takes to tell it this eutire floor w as ablaze and tho flames extendiug to the floor above on which the Western Union company's restau-rant was located. Here were four men and three women, cooks and waiters iu the restaurant, who had been forgotten in the excitement. All means by this time had been cut off whereby these persons could escape. They wero not aware of their peril until the smoke rushed up the stairway leading from the operating room iu volumes. One of the men, finding no possiblo means to escape downward, rushed for the scuttle hole in tho roof. The trap door was pushed off and the prisoners climbed to the roof. The flames were shooting out of tho front windows and volumes of smoke puffed heavenward. Wrhcn the great crowds on the streets saw the men and women rush out on the roof a cry of horror went up, for it did not seem pos-sible they could be recovered. The women, screamed and wrung their hands and the men yelled, " for God's sake do something to save us." A long ladder was placed against the rear of the burning building. It did not reach within iio feet of the roof, but undaunt-ed, however, two firemen scaled the ladder and threw a rope up. It was caught and tied by ono of the brave girls. Tho firemen pulled themselves up hand over hand until they reached the top, and, amid" cheers from the thousands below, they let the seven down.to places of safety. It was just in time, for the flames immediately burst up through fhe cor-nice and soon enveloped the roof. The tower of the building was caught up by the flames. A HKVOI.UTIONAItV I'KNSIOMMl.
