FIRE THAT
CAUSED BIG Loss
IN PRESS BUILDING
Flames Cause $4,000 to
$25,OOO Damage to Elev-
enth Street Structure.

A searching investigation of the
strange fire that did from $4,000 to $2o.-
900 damage last night in the building at
1853 Eleventh street northwest. occu-
pied by Barnhart Brothers & Spindler
and the National Capital Press is being
made today by Fire Marshal Nicholson.
Until tho marshal completes his investi-
CATION and confers with the occupants
and owners of the building, he VIII
make no official estimate of the dam
age.
Nothing has yet been found to indi-
cate the cause Of the fire. 1t apparent
ly started near the center OF the third
floor, which was used for storage pur-
poses. An alarm was turned In few
minutes after 0 o'clock by William CAL
vert. one Of six printers at work on the
second floor. Calvert noticed heavy
smoke hanging under the second floor
ceiling. A few minutes later second
alarm was sounded from the box at
Tenth and r streets by Joseph Soracco,
who lives at 104 T. street. He saw
heavy smoke coming through the roof.
Four engine companies, two truck
companies, and the water tower re-
spondcd. and several lines of hose were
soon playing on the blaze. She burning
paper gave of a dense smoke that filled
the nearby streets and seeped into busi-
ness houses, and several moving pic
ture houses on d street. A number of
places on the street closed their doors
temporarily. The blaze was extin-
guished at about II o'clock.
Practically all the damage to the first
and second floors was due to the steady
flood of water that came down on the
printing machinery and supplies. The
building is the property of the Clarke
estate.

PETITION RAILROAD FOR
NEW STATION ON ISLAND

A petition 1t is said will be pre-
scented to the Staten Island Rapid
Transit Railway Company by the
residents of Pleasant Plains for a
new railroad station at that place.
The present structure they say in
that town has long outlived it's use
fulness. 1t was builtsmany years ago
and Is entirely inadequate. The
freight station at the same place is
the remains of one of the first pas
senger coaches used on the line rum
ming from Clifton to Tottenvflle in
the early days of the company. 1t Is
reported that a station will be
built at Eltinggille. Annadale pos
sesses the neatest station along the
Ambey division, which is credited
to the Wood Harmon Company, who
a large trace of land nearby.
