The theory that an incendiary caused the fire in
the Brooklyn Tabernacle was not substantiated by
the developments yesterday. II appears that man

organ fire. for fires in organs had been caused
in that way, in the dark parts OF the organ the
tuner had to a candle.
Edward White, the tuner for Jardine Son. who
had charge of the Tabernacle organ. said that he
never used a candle in the organ itself. as there
