afternoon, the flames were still rag
ling, and 1t Is feared that the NAM

heated furnace In the basement. The
regular janitor of the building, VII

and Walter Scranton acting in his
place. and not being accustomed to
handling the furnace, allowed 1t to
become too highly heated. The fire
broke out in the walls. between the
b.ick and plastering and the yUlun-
tter firemen found It almost impos-
sible to locate It, little less than cx-
tinguish it,
At 2:30 o'clock Thursday after.

that they believed thcy had the fire
under control, providing that II
would not break out In some new
part Of the building. The building
is practically a new one. It is four

and Is modern in every detail.

mated damage to the building is
