the building. At $50 o'clock on Tuesday night Act
ing Captain Murtha. of the Elizabeth-st- station
and Roundsman Kaufman were standing at Canal
and Mott when they discovered fire IN the
building.
The fremen forced entrance. and on the sixth
floor found a fierce fire burning beneath the gas
meter. The flames were coming from box con-
tanning paper cotton waste. ticking and other In
fammabie stuns that had been saturated with
kerosene oil or benzlne. A window slightly
open near by admit draught.
On the fifth floor the hreme1 found the floor
strewn with the contents of d two hundred pound
bale OF chair canvas which had been saturated with
kerosene oil and benzine Near by wooden
box u by u inches and 4 inches deep. filled with
paper and excelsior soaked with benzine. In the
centre or the box candle had been fixed and
lighted. It stil burning when the fiTemen dis
covered t. and was within inch OF the infam-
nable stuff IN the box There was another box
similar to the one described filed with kerosene oil
soaked rags and excelsior. Hanging from the raf-
ters were tnirty-fve strips OF chair canvas. each
about four feet long and thoroughly soaked with
bcnzine. These were tied together al the ends the

Sergeant George Brown He refused to make any
statement. simply denying all knowledge of the
fire.
Singers factory is in the heart OF the furniture
district which is recognized by hremen as one or

It is the belief OF Fire Department officials that
had the flames got greater headway before they
were discovered the entire building would have been
DESTROYED and adjacent property also probably re-
duCed to ruins.
