NEWPORT. R. 1.. Aug.
(AR) Four separate investigations
were under way today to determine
the responsibility for the tragedy of
the eiplosion of the boiler on the
excursion steamer Mackinac in
Newport harbor Tuesday evening
which has claimed 40 lives already
with a. dozen other victims fighting
for thel rslim chance of life with
the probabilities against them.
Four other persons are still miss—
ing, and it is believed that they may
have jumped overboard and dxow 11-
ed. Hospital authorities. who still
have many sufferers from the scald-
ing fsteam which enveloped the
boat. said that the death list will
probably exceed 50. State boiler in-
spectors who visited the death ship
yesterday stated to The Associated
Press that the boiler which explod-
ed was cracked and in
condition.
Their findings are being checked
by the RhodE‘Island Attorney Gen-
eral's office. and federal steamboat
inspectors .and Newport police are
conducting an independent investi-
gation.
Physicians at the must hospital.
where most of the se1iously injured
were taken, and at the Newport
Hospital, said it will probably be a
week before it can be definitely
stated haw many of the injured
will recover.

—‘2 May Die
NEW YORK. Aug. 20. —— (AP).
Three policemen and two of three
negro robber suspects were wound-
ed early today in a gun battle that
ended on the roof of a five-story
tenement on West 331d street after
an automobile duel of several miles.
The wounds of one policeman and.
one gunman are considered critical.
Patrolman Harry Moore in a fllv-
ver picked up the trail of the bandit
car after a drug store holdup. Fir-
ing away with one hand and steer-
ing the car with the other. he was
soon joined by more than a dozen
police on foot and in other cars.
Their own car riddled with bul-
lets. the negrocs commandeered a
taxicab and later dashed into the
tenement. 1Fi1'ing away from points
of vantage the gunmen riddled
Moore as he was coming through
the roof. hatchway. A memoran-
dum book in his pocket over his
heart stopped one bullet and prob-
ably saved him from instant death.
In the roof battle one negro.
known as "One Eye" was hit twice
in the head and a pal wounded be-
fore the third surrendered. Moore
and "One Eye". are in hospitals and
are not expected to live. The con-
dition of the other patrolman is not
serious. The second wounded gun-
man crawled into hiding. A police
cordon was thrown about the block
to prevent his escape.

ERECTION OF
GASOLINE TANKS
Fears Situation in Jef-
ferson Street Is Too
No a r SChool and
Business, Center
The permission for the erection
of a. large gasoline tank by the
Western Petroleum Company. on
their property at the corner of Jef-
ferson and School streets, is being
held up on orders of Mayor Thomas
Robins. .
The Mayor stated today that he
thought that the large tanks which
the company planned to erect were
too near the new Center school and
the business nection of Norwalk and
that it would be dangerous to have
them there.
The -Western Petroleum company
purchased the property on which
they planned to locate the tanks
from the C. E. Siausou Company
this week.
They have already received one
of the large tanks by freight. The
concern planned to use Norwalk as
a distributing point for this section
and the officials were under the im-
pression that they had permission
to erect their tanks. ‘
According to the latest ruling.
permission must be granted by the
Mayor before the erection of the
tanks can be started.
