LAUNDRY FIRE
CAUSE NOT KNOWN
Fire Marshal Thinks 1t
Started From an Oil
Stove.

Fire Marshal Nicholson said today
that there was no reason TO believe that
the fire, which early yesterday morn
ing Quilted the plant of the Harvard
Laundry. 73l Ninth street northwest.
was of incendiary origin. Although the
cause of the blaze has not been definite
ly determined he is Of the opinion that
it started from an oil stove in the office.
Richard Anderson. a street railway
switchman at Ninth ana C streets. saw
smoke issuing from the windo1s IN the
front Of the building and turned in an
alarm. The fire had gained such head
way by the time the engines arrived
that a second alarm was sent IN. All
of the machinery was ruined
The total damage is estimated at
about $500. The building is owned by
Henry NJ. Baker. Of Bow. y. H., ana
was damaged TO the extent Of Sl'ooo'
The value of the machinery and laundry
apparatus was about $1,000. while there
was a little over $1,000 worth of linen
belonging TO customers.
When the water from the pipe lines
began pouring out of the front or the
building it was noticed that there were
numerous traces of oil. This, however
has been accounted for by the OH stove
in the dffice. which, ii is believed. was
overturned by the force Of the streams
