FIRE ON TEE FORTIETH FLOOR
Nothing to Burn in Unfinished
Singer Tower.
Policemen Climb from Thirteenth
story and Find Plumbers
Furnace.

New York, Feb. Iz.-As the homeward
rush sot into fuH swing in Lower Broad
way tonight, some one who was cranine
his neck for "a look at the Singer Building
tower saw "a shower Of sparks. followed
by jets Of smoke. show for an instant
against the sky.
His cry, The Singer towers on fire.
brought everybody to a halt. and turned
every eye upward TO where "a tiny spark
showed on the window ledge way up in
the forties.
No one in the building had heard about
the fire. Some policemen who had been
notified came from nearby police sta
ton, and started up the freight elevator
armed with fire extingUishers.
The elevator carried them 20 the thir-
teenth floor. Then Sergt- Mulhan. who
once spent a summer in the Catskirs.
led the way up the peak.
On the fortieth floor 1hey found that a
plumbers furnace, left when the men quit
work had been blown over by the high
wind, scattering the Goals about the
tower and giving the semblance Of a sure
enough fire. There was nothing to burn.
since the tower has as yet no woodwork
or furnishings.
The policemen got the extinguishers
into action and put the Goals out OF busi-
ness. The fire is recorded by the police
as having done no damage.
