Big Blaze on Government Pier Charged
to Thieves

FORT MONROE, Va, June 3.--lTire be-
lieved to have been started by thieves to
conceal a robbery at an early hour today
completely destroyed the freight and pas
senger houcr and general offices on the
government pier here. Until the agents of
the various lines operating from the wharf
are able to complete inventories and check
up their losses it will be impossible to
ascertain the total loss. which probably
will run well up into the thousands.
The blaze originated in the offices of the
United States Express Company and when
the safe was unearthed from the ruins it
was found with the door open, empty. The
agent says he is certain it was locked last
night. Col. Harrison cOmmandant at Fort
Monroe, will make an official investigation
and government detectives are at work on
the case.
