is believed to be that of a child.

Officials remain at the scene of the
holocaust, directing the search of the
ruins for any of the dodgers who were
unable to escape. 1t is believed that

carefully by volunteers and attaches
of the morgue in an effort to find
their remains.

Close questioning by the police of
persons who had lived in the Chutes
lodging house, revealed the story that
the fire started in at least four places
simultaneously. Some former ten
ants of the building declared they had
moved out because of a fear that the
place would be burned. No definite
statement on the matter has yet been
made by the police, but detectives are
running down a score of clues, and 1t
is expected that arrests will be made
before long. -
