CRANE COMPANY HAS
A MYSTERIOUS BLAZE
DEPARTMENT CANNOT TRACE
ORIGIN OF FIRE
Gains Rapid Headway on Floor Filled
with Baled Waste and Causes
Damage Amounting to
$4,000

The three-story building at 126-12s
North Los Angeles street, occupied py
the Crane company, dealers IN heaVy
hardware, mechanical supplies, station
airy engines, ETC., was the scene Oh
fire of mysterious origin early yester-
dav morning, and the stock was dam
aged by fire and water to the extent OF
| $50, 900 and the loss to the building
estimated at $4,000.
Although the fire department has
made a thorough examination or the
premises they were unable to ascer-
| tain the cause of the fire, and While
several theories have been advanced
the exact origin is unknown.
The fire was discovered at $3.50 O'Clock
by Patrolman Henry J. Toomey and j.
F. Miller, a Waterman for the Mer-
chants Fire Dispatch. The two men
were walking along in front OF tne
building when they detected an odor or
smoke. They began investigations ana
saw smoke issuing from the windows
of the third floor. An alarm was
quickly turned in, but the fire mad
gained such a Roadway that 1t had
burst through the third floor and later
appeared through the roof, and was
burning fiercely when the fire trucks
with the firemen arrived.
Owing to the nature of the stock
stored on the top floor the men had a
difficult task in subduing the fire. The
entire third floor was filled with oaled
waste, and the fire had made great
Roadway in this material. The flnisn-
ings of the building were of wood, ana
the flames were quick to eat their way
into the shelving, doors and other fix
lures of this material.
Origin Is Mystery
All indications point to the fact that
the fire started in the center of the
building on the second floor. This
makes the origin of the fire more of a
mystery than had the fire broke out at
some other part of the place, for there
are no articles of an inf1ammable nature
near where the flames are supposed to
have started. There were no electric
wires or others at this point, and as the
using of matches about the building is
strictly prohibited the fire cannot be
attributed to carelessness on the part
of the employees or by crossed wires.
While the engine companies poured a
great amount of water on the burning
building and fought hard to conf1ne the
loss to the lowest possible figure the
fire was not entirely extinguished until
several hours after beginning the night.
When the streams of water We're shut
off the basement was flooded with water
to the depth of several feet.
Manager Jud Saeger of the Los An
geles branch of the Crane company,
which is a Chicago corporation, having
branch stores throughout the world.
estimates the value of the stock in the
building to be 100000. OF this amount
he says the loss will approximate one
half.
The building is owned by the COM
pany and the loss to it is estimated at
$4,000, fully covered by insurance.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Today's brief ses-
eior, on the stock exchange was marked by the
most haRrant manipulation and extraordinary
exciteYnent Trading in the two hours aggre-
gated over 100000 shares, much more than
for anv full day of the week. A very large
proportion Of this business was Of such hol-
low and superficial character as to deceive no
one but the merest tyro. In fact. expressions
OF condemnation were quite general among the
more conservative members after the market $
close and the opinion that the days work had
caused incalculable harm was almost unani-
NOUS. Two theories were advanced in expla-
nation Of the days extraordinary proceedings.
One was that a certain group Of spectators
prominently identified with the Rock Island
system was being squeezed" by other large
interests, the object being that OF gaining
control OF the Rock Island system. The other
theory was that certain well known shorts mad
been given to understand that they would be
permitted to cover OF the market. Yet another
sorry, and one that found not few believers,
was that today's discreditable business was IN
spired by the New England manipulation whose
activities earlier in the week caused no httie
alarm. The market opened with general al
vances and gave little hint Of what Followed
Before the expiration of the first hour' now
ever, trading assumed a different aspect, large
blocks Of the active issues coming out with
wild fluctuations. The great bulk of the bus1-
ness was IN American SIneltlhS, 1suDD0t'
Union Pacific, the Steel stocks and Northern
Pacific. The movement when 1t did not sug-
gest the matching OF orders. had all the ear
marks of a general covering. The day closed
with losses in number of issues. including
the Harrimans. Following the markets close
It was rumored that big delivery of stocks,
estimated at 100000 shares. would be made
before the beginning of Mondays business.
The bank statement was in line with general
expectations reserves showing an incrase OF
