INVESTIGATE FIRE DAMAGE
Inspection (Shows Injury to Steel 'Work
Greater Than Bad Been Buppoied.
WALLS ALSO ARE TO PASS EXAMINATION
State Officials aad Members of Leg
islature Insist No Postponement
of the Session on Aeeoaat of
Fire Is te Re Had.
(From a BtafT Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Jan. 6. (Speclal.)-The
stste executive council held a session all
forenoon and decided upon a course to pur
sue In regard to the fire in the stste capitol
building. The members of the council,
which consists of the governor, treasurer,
auditor and secretary of state, consulted
freely with the large number of members
of the legislature who are already here for
the purpose of attending the session, and
with the members of the capitol commis
sion. The council finally directed the com.
mission to proceed Immediately to make
an Investigation as to tho actual condi
tion of the north wing of the capitol, to
determine if the walls have been Injured
and as to the safety of the roof of the
house chamber. The commission, consisting
of Mtssrs. Funk, Shoentgcn and Cummlng,
proceeded at once to organise for this work
and also for clearing out the debris, while
the council proceeded to Investigate the
cause of the fire by calling In workmen as
witnesses. In the meantime the entire
north half of the building was shut off
from the officials and employes.
Condition of Building.
The capitol commission called In local
architects and engineers and organised for
Investigation of tha building. It Is found
today that the beams which supported the
attic floor above the house chamber are
badly warped and practically all the attio
floor, which Is of fire brick, will have to
come down. The galleries are more com
pletely ruined than was supposed last
evening. Nearly all the steel work In the
northeast corner of the building will have
to be taken out. The desks of the house
members were not all In the house chamber
at the time and the loss In this direction la
not so great. Investigation shows that the
celling of the supiema court rooms Is not
badly harmed and the valuable fresco
work there la not Injured. But generally
the smoke pt'netrated every corner of the
building and has done an Immense amount
of damage. Not until the commission re
ports will it be known whether the walls
are all safe nor as to the condition of the
roof. "
Looking: Into tha fan.
Governor Cummins and others made a
tour of the building to determine the cause
of the fire, If possible. The tire started In
a small room which adjoins the speaker's
room at the north. Here a workman had
been engaged In putting a box for the elec
trical kwltchb'oard Into an opening in the
wall connection with a flue containing wires.
It was evident tbe Are started In this open
ing, where tho men had been using a candle.
The fire did not start from an electrlo wire.
The draft drew the Are up into the walls
above and under the floors, where it was
imiKMMlble tp get, ftt Jt. ,... ,.v
Legislative Plaaau"
A large number of tha legislators are
here ready for the session next week. The
general expression on the part of these
men Is that there must be no adjournment
of the legislature. The belief prevails that
the house chamber cun lie fitted up so that
it would be usable In the course of two or
.three weeks by placing canvas over the
ceiling and aides. The state library might I
be fitted up for use of the house tern-
porarily. It Is possible, also that the senate
could use the courtroom and the supreme
court could hqld elsewhere. But whatever
happens there' will be a' delay of only a
short time In the legislative session.
Immediate Repair.,
Governor Cummins and the members of
the legislature expressed themselves today
as for Immediate repair of the building and
the placing of It In as good condition as be
fore. Many of the members declare that
the woodwork should all come out and the
construction be modern. Not many of
them were aware of the existence of so
much woodwork In the capitol building and
supposed It was already fireproof. Esti
mates of the cost of rebuilding run from
$200,000 to $400,000. Not much of the new
work put in by the present capitol com
mission was Injured, but some of the dyna
mos were lost.
Alleged Cruelty to Insane.
The Board of Supervisors and the State
Board of Control are engaged In making
an Investigation of affairs at the county
insane asylum, located on the county
farm near Des Moines. The Investigation
thus far Indicates there has been gross
cruelty practiced toward Insane persons
there and fhat the management has been
very bad. The witnesses have all been
sane persons who are now or have recently
be in employed there and their tales of
cruelty are sensational In the extreme. It
la understood the report of the state In
spector of county hospitals has reported
In favor of the removal of some of the
persons who are responsible. Unless there
is better management of the place the
state board will refuse to permit any other
of the Insane to be sent to tha county
hospitals.
Count at State Cash.
When the fire was discovered In the
state house on Monday the state treas
urer was expecting a visit from the audit
ing committee from the governor's office
and the state auditor, but the count of
the state's cash for the quarter was

best to send the state's securities away
