Twenty fremen were overcome by the
smoke from a blaze in the cabinet fac
tory of the J. F. Eiffert Company. at 18th
street and Avenue d. last night. The
quantities of cedar stored there caused
what Chief Kenlon described as one of
the smokiest fires he had ever attended.
All the men were revived quickly, how
ever. in the outer air and went back TO
fighting the flames.
On either side of this factory. on the
edge of the East River are gas tanks
Men were stationed about these tanks 70

spread in their direction.
Patrolman O'Connor discovered the fire
and sent in the first alarm. a second
alarm brought more apparatus and the
freboats Body and Strong. The police
reserves were needed to keep in check the
crowd OF excitable East Siders which col
lected.
It did not take long, however, TO get
the fire under control. Chief Kenlon es-
tmated the damage at $1,000
On June l. 1911. this same factory was
almost completely destroyed by fire. The
present blaze started, 1t is supposed, as
did that one, in the drying room.
