ARSON CHARGE
MADE AGAINST
LOCAL CLOTH|ER
Isaac Urdang, Springfield Ave-
nue. Merchants, Must Answer
to Burning Store.
SAID HE USED NAME
OF HIS FATHER-lN-LAW
Former EmpIoye Is Said to
Have Revealed Case to
Police.

Charged with having set fire to his
clothing store at 1O5 Mulberry street,
on February "a, 1914, in order that
he might collect $1,000 insurance,
Isaac Urdang, aged thirty-fi years,
of 519 Fifteenth avenue, was arrested
this morning by Detective Drucker
of the prosecutors office, and Lieu
tenant Horter and Sergeant Ulrich,
of police headquarters, after he had
given himself up upon advice of his
counsel, Congressman Fred r. Lei
bach.
1t Is alleged that at the time of the
FIRE, Urdang conducted the Mulberry
street establishment under the name
of Robert Frank, his father-inlaw.
The information upon which Urdang
was arrested was furnished to the
police by Harry Goldberg, forty
years old of 142 Howard street, a
former employe of Urdang, who was
arrested a year ago on the charge of
keeping a disorderly house and was
released upon probation for three
years. He is said to have made
revelations involving Urdang last
Tuesday, since which the police have
been hunting for Urdang, who is said
to have rotten an inkling that he was
being sought and fed.
Goldberg is believed to have told the
story of the fire in the hope that 1t
would nelp him with the probation
officer. At the suggestion of the pro-
bation officer he then told the story TO
Detective Drucker. Goldberg stated
to the police that the day before the
fire he and Urdang removed forty
suits and forty -eight pairs of trous-
ers from the Mulberry street store
TO Goldbergs residence. Some of the
goods. he SAYS were sold in New
York and others were kept to help
stock Urdang's new store at 2oS
Springfield avenue.
How Fire Was Started.
The Mulberry street building was
R.-three-tory frame house, anu
the upper floors were occupied ny
dodgers. Goldberg says that Urdang
put pasteboard box over lighted
candle and put half gallon OF ben
zine on the floor nearby. Tire bulld
ing quickly took fire and several peo-
ple had to be carried from the place.
Policeman Arthur Collins, of the First
precinct. was overcome by smoke
aiding a rescue from one of the up
stairs rooms.
Urdan collected his insurance. IL is
alleged, from the Prudential Fire In
surance Company, of New Haven, ana
the Central Union Fire Insurance
Company, of New Hampshire. The
police suspected at the time that the
FIRE was of incendiary origin, but had
nothing definite upon which to base
their suspicious until Goldberg told
his story to the probation officer.
Urdang was arraigned before Judge
Mancusi-U -Ungaro in the First Precinct
Court shortly after he gave himself
up today and held under $4,000 bail
for an examination. The date OF the
examination will be fixed after con-
ference with the prosecutors office.
Goidberg was held by Judge Mancusi-
Ungaro in $4,000 bail as material
witness.
