Bureau Head Now Decides to Report to Comptroller on Matter. What has become of $600.000 ‘which during the last year has been handed over in $1-a-week instal- ments to so-called Tammany super- visors\by at least 7,000 pusheart ped- dlers? Commissioner of Public Markets Edwin J. O'Malley, who is the father of the $1-a-week hand-up scheme ana who apointed the supervisors, swears that not a cent of the $600,000 has been received by him as head of the department. “What has happened this Money?” was asked by an Evening World reporter. “It has been used up—spent by the replied the Markets to all supervisors,” Commissioner. If O'Malley's answer is correct— and he claims he ought to know— this $600,000 has been spent by fifty- four $50-a-week supervisers and their feventy-five $35-a-week assistants and $5-a-day “laborers.” The labor- ers are supposed to do the work of cleaning up rubbish that accumulates in market places, Supervisors just ‘supervise, “NEVER TURNED A CENT OVER,” O'MALLEY DECLARES. “Do you mean to say,” O'Malley was asked, “that cach and every supervisor has had the sole right to @ispose of surpluses any way he saw fit during the past twelve month “I won't answer the question as put that wa replied O'Malley. What I do mean Is that supervisors never turned over a cent to me, If there happened to be a surplus they spent it putting more men to work.” “Suppose there were enough la- borers already on hand to do the fob?” he was asked, “All that I know about that,"’ he replied, ‘“‘is that the supervisors spent the money well and for the improvement of their respective market places.

WATER TOWER BURIED. No One Injured as Debris Fills Street From Curb to Curb. The Jane Street wall of the burning warehouse of the Manufacturers’ ‘Transit Company, No. 10 Jane Street, gave way at 1.45 o'colck this after- noon, crashing to the ground with a roar that could be heard for many blocks and bringing with it what there was left of the three top stories of the six-story building, The danger of collapse had been realized several hours before the crash came and the Police and Fire Depart- ments, amply warned, had prepared so thoroughly that nobody was in- jure ‘Thousands had gathered to see the spectacle, They watched the bulging of the until the steel supports guve way and the great mass toppled Along with the bricks and the itself came a wall forward. steel of building great quantity of partly burned pack- ing cases and rolls of print paper. The first warning of the impending crash came early in the morning, when it Was seen that the Jane Street wall nbout half way up was bowed outward about twenty inches. All firemen and others were ordered out of the danger zone and seme of the apparatus was moved. The debris filled the street from side to side and piled up five feet deep. Water Tower No. 2 was partly buried, but it ts not believed to have been seriously damaged. It continued to pour water Into the fire. The entrance to the upartment house at No. 16 Jane Street, next door to the warehouse, was blocked by. the wreckage. The Fire Department had hoped that the wall would come down, since it was ruined anyway, and they tried an experiment suggested by a building expert, who said that If water were played on the part below the bulge the bricks would crumble slowly and the wall come down bit by bit. This was tried for about fif- teen minutes and then the wall fell alm in a single piece As soon as the walls began to bulge outward, an emergency crew of the Consolidated Gas Company was put to work to guard against danger of explosions from gas leaks. It was felt that with the heavy mass of brick and mortar striking the pavement in the event that the walls fell, would break thé” fourteen-inch gas main, which runs undergrouhd at that point Before the falling of the wall the fire had been brought under such con- trol that tt was being handled by only about 190 firemen—the number called for by an ordinary two-alarm fire Fou rtimes as many had been at work yesterday and through the night, The number of hose lines in use was re- duced this afternoon from sixty-six, the maximum, to eight.

Lewis. President United Mine Workers of American (Copyright, United Press.) WASHINGTON, July 19.—The 680,000 union coal miners of this country are more determined to- day to win their strike than they were on the day the strike started. Never before in the history of Industry has there been such a demonstration of solidarity as is now witnessed in the ranks of the miners engaged in this struggle. Their determination and their perfect morale is the marvel of all time in industrial contro- versles. These men cannot be coerced into submission to terms and conditions that are repulsive to them. It is idie to talk about driving them back into the mines. There is but one way to settle this strike, and that is by the joint conference method. And that is the way it is going to be settled regardless of what any- body thinks, says or does.
