Unique " PrOtec-
tive Order in
Chicago.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-"The Firebugs'
Protective Acknowledgements Is the I'M
official title of an oath-bound organiza-
ton that was to-day declared by Fire
Inspector Fulkerson to have actual ex-
istence in Chicago. Included in its mem
bership are said to be the shrewdest in
cendiaries that ever infested the city. Its
victims, to the extent of thousands upon
thousands of dollars paid of late years
on losses of buildings and merchandise
by fire, are the fire insurance companies.
The existence of such an alliance Of in
cendiaries in Chicago was disclosed in
the course of an investigation Of a fire
that took place on September in a little
shoe store at 702 West Lake street. The
circumstances surrounding the origin Of
the blaze were suspicious and the pro-
prietor of the place, Isadore Weinwurm.
was arrested When he presented a
schedule to the insurance companies
claiming a loss of 5000, when his entire
stock could have been replaced for a few
hundred dollars, 1t became at once evil
dent that Weinwurm had powerful friends
at his back and did not lack for money.
Further investigation as to who these
friends were and where the money came
from led Fulkerson to the discovery Of
the organization of professional incendi-
aries engaged in swindling insurance COM
panies.
