II Ia now believed that tho explosion and
fire in the tenement at 1873 Avenue c on Tues
day afternoon were the work of an organized
band OF frebugs on the east eide. Within .
month three suspicious fires have occurred,
each of which has been attended by an ex-
ploson.
Early on the morning Of Dec. 90 there was .
fire In the tenement at JO2 East Twelfth street.
II was ascertained Yesterday that there was
an explosion at tho time OF this fire. and that
1t partially wrecked ono Of the floors OF the
house. Several Of tho tenants had narrow
escapes. On the night Of Jan. 10 fire WAS dis
covered in the building at % Avenue u. and
the shop Of a man named Pincus CAM
was badly torn up as though by the
action OF some explosive material 1t was
said that in the cellar OF the hons" the ire
men had found evidence OF an Internal ma
afternoon in the four-story brick double tone
ment at 1873 Avenue 6. Thirty-tlve PERSONS
lived in the building; Henry Gottlieo: !. saloon
occupy ng half Of the third floor.
=, The explosion, which 1t Is supposed caused
the fire. occurred in one OF tNottlielSs rooms.
All the members Of the family were out and IL
is said that no fire was burning in the stove.
The exact cause 81 the EXPLOSIONS not known,
II wrecked the room and shook the whole build
ing, causing tho front wall to bulge out in an
Kerosene were found in Gottlieb's apartments.
One theory advanced is that both the fire and
the explosion were caused by hen2ins poured
over the Garnet and furniture In large Quanti-
ties.
Gottlieb and his wife were closely ruestion-
ed hy Fire Marshal Mitchell Yesterday. Both
denied all knowledg" OF what had caused the
fire. Building Inspector Fisher exam in ed th y
house early yesterday morning. He reported
that the walls were in bad condition. and it
may be found necessary to have them pulled
down.
1t wan said that tho police have evidence
that all three fires are the work OF incendia-
ries Superintendent Byrnes began an inves-
tigation Immediately after tho fire which oo-
Cured on Dec. ~. While little could be learn ed
about the nature OF tho evidences. it Is said THAI
the detectives at work on the case have made
important discoveries. 1t is supposed THAI
there Is u scheme on foot TO detraud insuran CO
companies. During the last few days Fire
Marshal Mitchell has made several visits to-
Police Headquarters.
SUPERINTENDENT Byrnes admitted yesterday
that he had been making an Investigation.
and that evidence had been found leading tn
the belief that an organized gang Of trebugA
was at work on the east side.
Although no arrests have yet been m ade 10
is expected that the police will be able to
gather in part. IL not the whole. OF the gang
