Heyman as various in- igators began to study the latest ven hlazes which have threatened island since 1897, little dab of ¢ dle of the Kast rive treacherous Hell Gate, given over to the care of the mentally unsound, is dotted with about 75 separate struc- tures, of which 50 are used to house patients, Of the entire number, but two are fireproof according to Dr. Heyman, who asserted that he has vainly impl the legislature for additional funds with which to pro- tect his irges from fire, Buildings Overcrowded. Yesterd blaze destroyed but a part of a great building, which, over- crowded as it is, sometimes shelters 2,200, he building is 50 years old. The and’s fire fighting force f{s wholly inadeguate, according to Dr. Heyman, Dr. Heyman adds that he has re- eatedly asked for a chief ‘and 10 paid firemen, but got only the chief. Dr, Heyman said the island faces a fire menace much greater than that confronting an ordinary settlement because it is located on an island not easily reached and because it has among its inhabitants many recog- nized pyromaniacs. Eight Inquiries On. Jight inquiries were under way to-, day into the tragedy on Ward’s island, a little jutting rock in the swirling waters of Hell Gate where yesterday fire swept a ward of the Manhattan State hospital for the Insane, killing patients and three male attend- ants. i 3 Probably Cremated. Nineteen bodies had been recovered before dusk and removed to the city morgue, but six more remained in the ice-covered ruins. Thesg, it was fear- ed, had been cremated, and Superin- tendent Marcus B, Heyman express- ed doubt whether more than charre [Lones ever would be recovered. Illast May Be Cause.
