ATTEMPT TO BURN HIS STORE.
Young Tacoman's Crime and Confession
Extorted by Fear of Death.

startling story OF confessed incendiarisrn By
young business man in Tacoma was told 70
POsT-lyTELLIGgSCER reporter yesterday by an
insurance man in this city, who, however, re-
fused to give the names OF those concerned. de
said:
few weeks ago the agents In Tacoma were
notified that FIRE had taken place in a certain
store which was occupied By two different bust.
resses. Aciusters were sent 10 examine and
make their report. They found that FIRE had
started in some rubbish, but had been stamped
out, with damages of an exceedingly small
nature The claimant, however, had insured Tor
s2,iCo and, eontending that the stock had been
greatly juret By smoke, insisted on the entire
amount being paid over The adi uster5 reasoned
with him, but he remained firm IN his demand.
The occupant of the other half OF the store re-
ported TO the landlord that he suspected the
claimant. He reported that shortly before the
fire had broken out re had seen the man go to
the counter with cup which he thought con-
tanned oil. The adj usters thought, also, that the
place sTnelled strongly OF oil when they made
their examination.
The landlord, who is one of the best known
men in Tacoma, called on the young man whose
part of the store had been burned and con-
fronted him with the allegations OF his CO.
tenant He would not admit the truth of the
charge, AMI still made no direct denial The
landlord then sent for the adjusters. who, upon
hearing the story, had very serious talk with
the wouId-be firebug. The result was he gave
up his policy without compensation, and agreed
to make no further claim.
The next day the young man fell i'll. and, pos
sibly fearing death, sent for his landlord and
made a full Confession. He had poured oil on
rubbish behind the counter, and had set IRE to
ii with his own hands. Consideration for his
family moves those interested 20 abstain from
criminal prosecution, the result Of which would
nnqUestionably be TO land the guilty party in
the state penitentisry.

THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
A Mass Meeting to be Held on Next
Sunday Afternoon.

The directors oil the Bureau OF Associated
Charities held meeting yesterday afternoon at
the Chamber Of Commerce. 7. r. Fleming the
Superintendent, read an interesting report on
the work OF sInilsr organizations In other cities.
He said that cooperation in city charities has
existed In England for twenty years, and in this
country for twelve In the United states there
are now some seyenty-efght boards Of associated
charities. Mr.. Fleming quoted numerous
authorities 10 show that indiscriminate aims
giving tended to foster pauperism. The stats
tics of twenty-six societies showed that relief
was unnecessary in j.s2l eases OF appeal for aid,
and ] $50 frauds were exposed.
The report further showed that IN other cities
the plan of laying out districts and assigning
the work in them TO volunteers had been highly
successful.
W. G. steel, wac was active In organizing the
Associated Charities Of Portland, told the meth
DDS employed there, and made a number of val
liable suggestions as 10 details of the work.
The directors will meet again next Tuesday
afternoon ut O'Clock. On sunday afternoon at

in the movement The support and continuance
OF the work will then be considered
