MANY SWEAT SHOPS BURNED.

The Six-Story Krulewitch Building
Completely Gutted.

The six-story brick building known as
the Krulewitch Block, 139 and 1879 1-2
Madison street, was completely gutted
by fire OF suspicious origin which was
discovered at 4 o'clock this morning
The building was owned by Louis Krule-
witch.
The building Is at the corner of Bir-
mingham street, a narrow thoroughfare
extending from Madison, a block north,
to Henry street. The corner Is occupied
by Bernard Braunstein as liquor store.
and 139 1-2 by Sam Lung as a Chinese
laundry. The side facing Birmingham

by Isaac A. Krulewitch. a son Of the
proprietor. as a -four and feed store,

many Of the tenants rushed into the
street in scanty attire when the
alarm was sounded. The street was 30
blocked with these people that the fre-
men were greatly hampered in their
work until the police reserves from the
Fourth, Eleventh and Thirteenth pre-
cincts were called out. and under the
command Of Inspector Williams drove
the crowds back a safe distance. and
thereafter held them In check.
There was not, as far as can be
learned, any one in the upper stories
after o'clock last night. The fires In
the stoves in all the shops. which are
used to heat irons for pressing. were
out before the proprietors left theiI
shops. so that it is thought the blaze
must have been caused by spontaneous
combustion or by the hand OF an incen'
diary. Suspicion. however, points to the
latter theory, and a report to that effect
was made to the Fire Marshal.
The total damage is roughly estimated
at $4,000. The occupants Of the building
were: NJ. Meyerofsky, g. Barnetts. J
Schrieber. e. Engelsol, 8. M. Dlugach
J. Snyder, J. Keplin, B. Seidie and J
Gordon, all Of whom were engaged ir
the manufacture of clothing:
None of them was insured, and theil
aggregate loss will probably approx
mate $4,000. The loss to the building II
estimated at 1000, and to Sam Lunl
and Mr.. Braunstein $1,000.
