Rembert company, which has a large book and statiomery store in the building. Jacobs said that the fire was first seen in a small pile of ex- celsior in the Rembert stock room and that he at first tried,to put it out with 4 hand fire extinguished. The extin- guisher failed to function, whereupon Jacobs, according to. his testimony, tried to smother the. flame with a handful of excelsior and some waste material. This did not work well, h said, and soon the basement of the building was a mass of flames. Jacobs' managed to make his escape, but the engineer of the. building was overcome by smoke and died. The question of the accessibility of the fire escapes about the fourth floer was gone into carefully and testimony brought out the information that on each of the floors above the fourth it was necessary to go through a private office to reach the fire escape. It is stated that some of~fhese offices ‘were 7 of tonight's mourners.

Sims told; the senate sub-committee investigat- ing naval war decorations today that morale of the service had been “knocked to pieces” as a result of methods - followed in the awards. The underlying cause of “the whole unfortunate. affasr,” Admiral Sims as- serted, was. failure of, Mr. Daniels to formulate a. definite policy to.govern awards in. his . instructions . to 'the Knight Medal Board. Grave injustice had been done many officers because of this, he added. Admiral Sims, who during the war commanded American forces in for- eign waters, said constructive cr: cism was part of kis duty to the ser- vice ang his recent letter as well as his testimony was not to be construed otherwise. He argued for withdrawal. of department regulations requiring officerg not to publish critical articles without specific sanction as in the best interests of the service. In coir- nection with his original letter refus- infi a distinguished service ~medal pending action by the secretary on his plea for reconsideration of his. recom- mendations as to awards, he said Mr. Daniels had written him that no final action had been taken. Admiral Sims vigorously reaffirmed the position taken in his letter that only commanding officers were com- petent to pass on the relative value of services performed by officers under them. ~He cited changes in awards made both by the Knight board and the secretary as being unjustified and expressed the opinion that the service generally would welcome withdrawal of all medals hecause of the “unfortu- nate and unnecessary” controversy that had arisen, Taking up the secretary’s announced poliey of awarding distinguisheq ser- vice medals to officers who had lost ships_in aciton where their _service had been meritorious, Admiral Sims declared such officers deserved med- als‘of honor or nothing. He cited the case of a British “mystery ship” sunk by a submarine after a. battle from which the U-hoat . emerged unhurt.
