The Recent Disaster Has Set Peo
ple to Talking Danger.
THE BIG PRINTING OFFICE,
And O har Building* Vied by the Dif
ferent Departments Are Pro
nounced Mere Deathtraps.
Employes Tremble.
Washington, June 12.—"While we
are mourning the Bad death of the vic
tim* of Friday’s frightful disaster, we
should not forgot the living,” said Sen
ator Daniel W. Voorhees. He had just
made a^hort visit of inspection to the
government printing office, and had
come back deeply impressed with the
awful dangers that surround the 2,500
men and women who work night and
day in the rickety old building, whose
condemnation year after year has come
to be a grim joke over which congress
men are wont to chuckle as the appro
priation for adcqnate quarters is annu
ally cut out of the sundry civil hill.
"In my opinion," continued Senator
Vcorheos, “the public printer would he
amply justified in moving one-half the
force employed in the office to some
safe building. He is answerable only'
to the president for his acts, and I shall
take pains to seo the president personal
ly, and suggest that the public printer
be authorized to take such a step.
"The only expense incurred would be
the rental of the new building, and I
hardly think there is a man in congress
who would now have the faco to oppose
an appropriation for such a purpose.
When I think of those poor fellows who
perished I thank God reverently that I
have always voted for a now printing
office, and for every other necessary
public building.”
Amply Justified.
Tho condition of things in the govern
ment printing office amply justifies
Senntor Voorhees’s statement. The
building is a rambling series of brick
structures covering an area of about
800x200 feet. It was constructed in
1861 and was then occupied by less than
400 employees. From time to time ad
ditions have been made, but the num
ber of employees and tho amount of
machinery have increased far more rap
idly than the accommodations. The
first floor is nsed us a paper warehouse
and press room, in which are 125 large
presses, many of them running night
and day. The second floor is used as a
composing room, and there hnndreds of
tons of types in chases and on heavy
marble imposing stones are kept stand-
all the year around. The third floor is
used ns a bindery and is loaded with
heavy hydraulic presses, ruling ma
chines, numbering machines and tons
of books in various stages of binding and
is loaded with scores of iron folding ma
chines, hydraulic presses and enormous
quantities of printed matter.
The brick walls of the building are
all more or less out of plumb, and in
the attempts to strengthen the building
forests of iron and wooden pillars,
stanchions and girders have been built
into each floor. In the main composing
room alone no less than threo hundred
pillars are used to support the floor of
the bindiug department.
Every man and woniatl who went to
work in the government printing office
Saturday did so with fear and tremb
ling.
Congress in 1890 appropriated $-'50,-
000 for the purchase of a new site, but
a question having been raised as to cer
tain connecting claims or ownership in
the property selected, the Fifty-first con
press suspended the appropriation indefi
nitely. In the last congress another inef
fectual attempt was made to secure the
tnnch neoded relief.
Not the Only Place*.
The Government Printing office is
not the only deathtrap in Washington
The Winder bnilding, at the corner of
8eventh and G streets, nsed by the
treasury and war departments, is hard
ly more suitable for occupancy by gov
ernment clerks than the old Ford’s the
ater building. Its walls are cracked
and out of plumb, its floors are slightly
constructed and its upper stories are
packed with enormous quantities ot
files and heavy documents. If the
bnilding should fall every employee
would be carried down nnder the
weight of the documents in the upper
•tones.
The old Bush bnilding, now used by
the postoffice department, is a menace
to the lives of the 300 men and women
employed in it It is located on the
south side «f E street, opposite the post-
office building, and is crowded from
top to bottom with files, heavy office
furniture and the weight of the em
ployees cooped up in a space adequate
for only half their number.
Even the interior department bnild
ing, massively constructed of marble
and iron, is now in snch condition that
Secretary Hoke Smith has issued an or
der that the gkHenes on the Ninth and
G street sides of the building be at once
relieved of their contents, which will
hereafter be stored in the basement. A
recent inspection of the bnilding show
ed that it baa settled more than two
I ictes, cracking the ceiling and aren
wavs, and rendering the supporting
walls insecure.
Commissioner Seymonr has ordered
dOO tons of the records removed to other
parts of the bnilding, and an effort will
< be made to induce congress to provide
St least an adequate storehouse for the
records of the office.
Condition of the Sufferer!.
The chances for the recovery of J. F.
McCormack, of Wisconsin, now at the
Emergency hospital, who sustained a
depressed fracture on the ribs in the
Ford theater tragedy, last Friday,
hangs in the balance.
Frank Metcalf, of Massachusetts
who, in addition to his injuries, has
pontructed pneumonia, is reported to be
about the same.

•f a Pnuloa Act.
Washington, - June 12. — Commis
sioner of Pensions Lochren, with the
approval of the secretary of the inte
rior, has issued the following order as
to adjudicating and fixing rates of pen
sions nnder the act of June 27, 1890:
1. A claim for pension nnder the second
section of the act of Juue 37, ISO 1 }, can only
he allowed upon proof of mental or
physical disability of a permanent char
ucter^not the result of the claimant’s own
vicious habits, incapacitating him fro.a
the performance cf manual labor in such
a degree as to render him unable to earn
a support.
2. No specific injury or disability can,
as such, have a pensioning rating nnder
that act, nor be consider .-(bother wise than
as it affects the capacity of the claimant
to perform ordinary iflaanal labor.
8. Proof tnat the disability is not tbs
result of the claimant’s own vicious hab
its is icquirite, and therefore ttmcau.se*
and circuuistauces of the origin of the
disability should be showu by the evi
dence furnished, in support of the claim
for pension, so far as can be done, aud by
persons other than the claimant.
4. To give the claimant a pensionable
status under this act the disability must
be such as to incapacitate him from the
pecformancu of mauu d labor ii;such a
degree as to reRder him unable to earn a
support, yet the act recognizes diff rences
in the degree of such pensionable disa
bility, giving $13 per mouth in case of the
greatest and $d per mouth lu case of the
lowest degree of such pensionable disa
bility rendering tho claimant unable to
earn a support by manual labor. It also
provides tor inter mediate ratings, pro
portioned to the intermediate degrees of
such pensionable disability. The proper
ratings under this act will, th-refore, be
made in accordauce with such rule, for
rating us the medical referee shall pre
scribe, subject to the approval of the
commissioner.
