8 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY. MAY 12, 1930 FIRE MAY RESULT E Warehouse Said .to Have Had Fire Escapes Blocked. LOSS ESTIMATED $75,000 four-Story Brick Building Occu pied ly Healy Bros, and Hester & Co. Barns. Charges of a serious character are expected to be filed as the result of a fire which started In the' establish ment of Healy Bros., wholesale furni ture dealers, in a brick building at Thirteenth and Hoyt streets at 10:15 A. M. yesterday and resulted in the death of -one workman, John O. Karapf, 625 Pershing street, and dam age estimated at ?73,000 before it was finally put under control by the fire department. As the result of a preliminary In vestigation vesterday. Fire Marshal jrr-nfrll drelared that escape by both fire escapes was blocked by piles of rurniture on the fourth floor, where the fire started, and he expressed the belief that this fact- was responsible for Mr. Kampfs death. The man's body was found lying where he had fallen in suffocation near the elevator apparently trying to make his escape. Deputy Coroner Leo Goetsch, who took charge of the body, announced that, if it could be shown the fire es- canpa were blocked at the time charges of involuntary manslaughter could be filed against those responsi ble for such a condition. He said that would be a matter for the coro tier's iurv to take up. No announcement of time of the holding of the inquest over the body of Karnpf could be made yesterday owing to the fact that the inquest over the victims of Sunday's train wreck will be taken up tonight and it is quite probable that it will re quire several nights to get in all the evidence, Mr. Uoetsch said. Flrnin Declared Warned. Chief Grenfell declared yesterday that the firm of Healy Bros., which consists of William A. and Frank S. Healy, had been warned against blocking the passages to the fire es'- cape at the time Lieutenant Reise, of Truck 3. had made an inspection of the place early in April. At that time. he said, the passage to one of the es capes was partially blocked with fur niture and they were warned to clear it up. The chief declared that when the fire department arrived on ... scene yesterday they found the passages to both escapes on the fourth floor, where the fire was, blocked. Windows also were blocked witli furniture and for that reason the department expe rienced considerable difficulty in get ting In where the flames could be effectively fought. Thousands of dol lars worth of furniture was thrown out of the windows by the firemen their effort to get into the building where they could turn their hose on the fire. Chief Grenfell said that he himself would file charges against those re sponsible for the violation of the city ordinance in that manner, but that he preferred to let the action take a natural course through the coro ner's office. ' YarniNh I Veils Fire. The flames, which were ted by quantities of furniture varnish and excelsior, swept through the fourth floor of the building with unusual rapidity and proved particularly hard to fight. One of the firemen, Herman Erdner of Engine 20, was overcome by the dense varnish fumes and was unconscious fcr some time. Other firemen were almost overcome. Erd ner was picked up by fellow firemen taken to the open where first aid was administered. The fire is believed to have started from a small kerosene lamp which John G. Karapf, the dead workmen had for melting glue. The fire was said to have started at Kampfs bench, but it spread so rapidly that it was difficult for workmen to tell just how it had started1. The last seen of Karnpf was when he was seen to seize a small hand exlnguisher. A comrade called to him to leave the fire and rush to safety, but the call was unheeded. After h saw that he could not put out the fire Karnpf is believed to have, tried to get away, but fell unconscious. A hand extin guisher was found lying near his body, which was partially scorched by the flames. Loss Estimated at $ 75,000. When it was discovered that the flames had gained such headway. Fire Chief Dowell, who was in charge, sent in a second fire alarm and also called out two fire engines in addi tion, which meant that practically all the downtown apparatus was on the scene. Twenty-five streams were poured into the building, but in spite of that it was not until about 11:30 that the flames began to be under control and it was after noon before the fire was entirely extinguished. Healy Bros, estimated the total fire loss at $75,000 and his figure cor responded to the estimate given' out by Assistant Fire Marshal Roberts, who made an investigation. . The greater percentage of the Joes was sustained by Healy Bros., who occu pied the fourth rioor of the building.
