WHO SIT [|Rt TO TH[ NEW
10Rk CLOTHING STORE?

Who set fire to the New York Cloth
ing company's store at 426 Riverside
avenue last night?
Chief Harry Meyers declares the
$4,000 fire was of incendiary origin.
The proprietors, H. Zandmer and
the Cohn Brothers, say they can not
figure out how the fire originated.
The fire started in the rear of the
store soon after II o'clock last night
and was followed by an explosion,
the cause of which is 50 far a mys-
terry. The explosion blew out the rear
of the store, which was of glass.
The fire was discovered by persons
passing by on Riverside avenue, who
saw smoke pouring out at the front.
When the department arrived the fire
had gained good Roadway.
The firemen took no chances of al
lowing the flames to spread and water
was poured into the blaze in great
quantities, doing damage to the
stock.
The entire stock was valued at $780,
900 and fully three-fourths of the
goods were destroyed by fire or water.
The owners say the stock was
practically new and covered by $751;
900 insurance.
The building is a one-story brick
and owned by ID. c. Corbin At the
corner are located the o. r. & n.
ticket offices, next to which are a
fruit stand and harness shop. r. b.

bench warrant. George Turner today
was fined but SIS by Judge Hinkle.
The small fine brought out the
biggest kick that was ever heard
against the usually popular police
judge.
1t was the first arrest under the
new rule that bicyclists who failed
to take out licenses should be ar
rested.
Turner objected to the arrest and
Special officer Heath was forced to
call for the wagon.
Turner put up a strong talk and
was allowed to go on his own recog-
nizance to appear yesterday for trial.
He failed to show up and a bench
warrant was issued, upon which he
was rearrested.
1t cost the city, on an estimate,
about $40 to make the two arrests
and get Turner into court.
Then he was fined IS.
