Marshal and Underwriters Believe
Dalton Fire Was Accidental

Fire Marshal Elliot. who has been in
vestigating the causes that led to the
fire aboard the steamship Dalton, of the
Earn Line, at the Vine street pier, and
damaged the cargo of sugar. said today
that he was convinced that the fire was
not started by incendiaries, and that so
far as his department was concerned the
investigation was closed.
"No one on board the Dalton on Tues
day could tell whether they saw strangers
on the ship" said Elliot. "People were
moving on and off the ship all the time,
we found, and 1t is probable that the
blaze was due TO carelessness on the part
of a stevedore or sailor. or an accident"
Marine underwriters who investigated
the fire are also satisfied that the fire was
not the work of an lncendiary, and said
that the first reports on the loss and dam
age to the cargo were greatly eXasser=
ated.
