VACANT ROW
Suspicion That Anderson
Buildings We're Fired
During Night
WATCHMAN SEES
STRANGE MAN ABOUT

Two fires, in what is known as An
derson's Row, all frame houses. on the
west side Of Union street, between
Lancaster avenue and Second street,
one at 1.25 o'clock yesterday morning,
and the other occurring at 1.50 o'clock
this morning, has aroused a suspicion
that they were of incendiary origin.
There are eleven houses in the row,
and the Board of Health recently is
sued an order that they be vacated
for sanitary reasons, the buildings be-
ing without sewer or city water Early
yesterday morning the Union Fire
Company was called out to extinguish
a blaze which started in the lower
part of the third house from Lancas-
ter avenue, and had little difficulty
in overcoming the flames. Shortly be-
fore o'clock this morning the same
company was again called out, a fire
having broken out in the same row.
This time the flames were discovered
in the upper part Of one of the houses
nearer Second street, and the fire had
gotten a better start than It did yes
terday morning, with the result that
the upper part of four of the houses
was destroyed and one of the smaller
houses adjoining also badly damaged.
A resident in the vicinity of the
houses was awakened by hearing the
cracking of the burning wood. and he
notified the Union Company. Later
somebody sent in an alarm from box
No. 153, at Lancaster avenue and
Union street, and shortly after this an
alarm was struck from box No. 63,
at Fourth and Scott streets.
The striking Of the alarm from two
boxes caused considerable excitement
and as many persons were unable to
sleep because Of the heat, a good sized
crowd collected to see the fire, despite
the hour.
A. G. B. Anderson, of No. 20O7 Ian
caster avenue, said today that his
wife owned the houses. Because OF
the absence from the city Of Mrs. An
derson, Anderson could not say how
much insurance there is on the build
lings. He expressed the opinion thai
the fires were of incendiary origin
and although he had a man name'
Charlie employed to watch the row
the latter did not detect anythin.

ROBBED EIGHTEEN HOUSES
In NEW YORK CITY
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
NEW YORK, July 6.-The old, old
story Of how the fangs Of fat living will
strike the best of men was retold in
the Adams street police station today,
when Karl Won Metz Meyer, lieuten-
ant in the Norwegian army, was held
for further examination on a charge
of wholesale burglary. Meyer is a
graduate of Heidelburg and of the Nor
way Military College. He speaks five
languages and says he is the son of
Ludwig Metz Meyer, an international
banker of Christiansand.
Twenty-four years old, handsome
and stalwart, he freely confessed to-
day in his cell to the robbery of at
least eighteen houses in the fashion
able Columbia Heights section Of
Brooklyn, lust to get funds to keep
up my scale of living"
Twenty-Five pawn tickets aggregat-
ing $4,000 were found in his apart
ments and the police estimate his total
thefts at $4,000. Most of the proceeds,
Meyer says. was spent on pretty wo-
men.
They are the one thing that fasci-
mates me in this country" he said.
Proof of the prisoners standing as a
ladies man" was found in nearly 500
letters discovered in his room from all
over the country. Among them was one
from a girl who signed herself ''Myna'
written in Harrison, Maine. 1t was ad-
dressed to MY Big Boy Karl" and inn
plored Meyer to give up his work in
New York and join her.

Tough from the army He says he strug-
gled along as a bank clerk and ex-
press company employe, eking out his
existence with what he got from home.
Finally wearying of his inability to
cut a wider swath he decided to be-
come a gentleman burglar" and start
ed his Raffles career last April.
He never carried a revolver or a
jimmy, knowing that this would be
fatal in case he ran afoul of the police
There was no need Of a jimmy he ex-
planned, as Brooklyn houses are easy
10 enter and servants conveniently
leave doors open.
The police first suspected Meyer ter
days ago but they could get no evi
dence against him Finally two Officers
r broke into his room and accused Meyel
of burglary.
With sigh of relief, the young lieu
tenant confessed everything.
I'm mighty glad you fellows hav'
me-" he told the officers. Il knew
