HOW WUNG MEU'S
HOME BURNED OUT
Flames Tga loss House Into
Heap Of Most UnsanCti-
fled Ashes.

-5ow Wung Meu, Chinese joss, is
thou homo. Worse, he is himself
reduced 10 unsanctfed ashes. Fire that
broke out yesterday in his habitation
on Aohi Lane consumed the ioss,house
and damaged nearby buildings and
would, indeed, have burned hole in
The .,nement district like a spark on
a new hat if the FIRE department had
not hustled as it never hustled before.
So far as Mrs. Lai Shay, the custo-
dian Of the akua and the temple can
determine the fire broke out from a
stove on which water was being heat.
ed for her granddaughter. The stove
burst and the flames spread so rapidly
that there was no possibility of stop
ping them either when the neighbors
when the department arrived a few
minutes later.
Mrs. Lai Pui, her daughterin.law,
was asleep in the rear of the house
when the fire broke out, and she seized
the baby and rushed out as soon as the
noise warned her. Lai Pui himself was
just returning from his work in Hack
field 8 when he heard the alarm, but
having no idea that it was his own
home burning proceeded leisurely until
he saw the lines of hose running down
Achi Lane.
Both Mrs. Lai Shay and Mrs. Lai
Pui did what they could to quench the
flames. A blanket thrown over the
stove was only so much more fuel and
they were driven out quickly by the in
creasing heat.
The temple was built about 1901 on
a site on which had stood another TEN.
pie that had been burned in the big
Chinatown fires Of 1900. This early
temple had stood there for forty years.
The owners lost everything yester-
day. So far as Mrs. Lai Shay can re.
collect she had two insurance policies
on the place, one Of $500 with Castle
& Cooke, and one for $500 with the
Bishop company. She estimated her
loss Immediately after the fire as
tl00O, but she had not then seen to
what n state her home had been re.
duced as she was taken to a neighbor 5
home at once.
