A small fire created a panic at 40

Henry Schodt has a bakery on the
ground floor of the building, and the
baking Is done in the basement. For

has been unable to sleep. He felt better
this morning, and while waiting for his
bread TO bake he fell asleep.
He was aroused by the sound OF an ex-
plosion and found the place In flames. A
big pot OF fat had boiled over. Schodt
jumped up. snatched the pot from the
furnace and put 1t In barrel.
But the barrel was a weak affair, and
giving way. sent the fat roaring and
spluttering in every direction. 1t poured
over the baker. burning his feet and
head badly and half binding him.
He tried to get out Of the basement by
the front door. but the smoke and fire
blocked the way. In the rear the place
was burning, too, so schodt got down
on his hanus and knees and crept up
through ventilator opening into rear
courtyard.
In the mean time the smoke had
poured into the house, and the alarm OF
IRE mad aroused the n1teen Iafnlhes III

street. The hall became blocked. and
the tumult In the yard became greater,
when some OF the inmates OF the houses

tby Associated Prena.D
PARIS, July 1.-THE Minister OF Ma
rine, NJ. Felix Faure, has left this city.
and 1t is believed that he has gone to
Tou,on In order to direct the inquiry
into the cause OF the fire involving a
loss OF several million francs. which
occurred at the arsenal there on Mon
day night. The authorities If Toulon
are convinced that this conf!agration
was part OF a huge Anarchist plot.
The investigation into the Anarchist
conspiracy. which resulted In fire being
discovered on board the warship Carnot
during her launching on Thursday !" :,
shows that the Anarchists had also -
ranged to have the Carnot fall from
the slips as she was launched. This
plot was discovered and frustrated. and
then. it appears, the conspirators set
fire 10 the ship by pouring turpentine
over the woodwork in the hold.
