ing that every piece of fire apparatus
in the city was to be massed on Essex
street in order that moving picture
operator could make films of the de-
partment fighting fire In an aban-
doned old shed which was to be set on
ifire, an unidentified incendiary decided
that II was an ideal moment to start
a blaze of his own in the opposite end
of the city.
As result. a fire was started with
the aid of kerosene and excelsior in a
group of buildings at the corner OF
Lowell street and Broadway, which for
q short time threatened the entire tene-
nent district. and which necessitated
the sounding of three alarms.
The entire available police force had
been massed on Essex street with the
ire apparatus, and after the second
alarm was sounded b. Chief D. E
Carey, who had been compelled to de-
part from in front of the moving pic
ture camera when the first alarm
sounded, 1t appeared as If the entire
city was moving. E
Ice wagons. automobiles and express
teams filled with policemen, sight-seers,
movie actors and actresses and
camera operators followed the fire de-
partment in frenzied parade to the
scene of the blaze.
