BIG ARSON PLOT
SUSPECTED HERE
Five Fires Of Suspicious Origin Are
Now Being Investigated by
the Fire Warden.
TRAIL OF OIL IS FOUND

Fire Warden Morris is investi-
eating a series OF incendisry cottage
fires In the neighborhod OF Thir-
tenth and Center streets. the fifth
fire occurring at 10 D. m. Friday
evening at 1907 South Thirteenth
street, under circumstances which
leave no doubt that the fire was in
cendiary.
The fire warden believes there is
an arson plot and has asked the city
detective department to assist in the
investigation.
The house fired Friday evening is a
frame structure. five rooms bearing evil
dence that the fire was carefully plan
ned, but quick action by the fire DEPART
ment resulted in saving most Of the evil
dence.
Trail of oil.
The blaze was started at a stove in
the dining room and a trail of saturate1
sheets and excelsior was laid to two bed.
rooms. bathroom and kitchen. Dresser
drawers were left open and contents sat
urated with oil. The fire did not reach

scene. Through an electric light bill

body appeared at the house today.
Four other fires of similar nature are
said by the fire warden to nava been
started in the same neighborhood during
the last five weeks. In all instances the
fire warden was unable to find occupants
at time of fire. He explains that inYes-
legations resulted in finding that the
tenants were out OF the city or at picture
shows when the fires occurred, which
makes prosecutions futile tasks, Mr.
Morris stated.
II am inclined to believe there is an
arson plot, but It is difficult TO get evil
dence for prosecution. We have evidence
that these fires were set. The fire Fri
day evening was the most positive case
OF the kind have had. The trail OF sat
urated sheets did not burn as fast as
was expected and the jar Of gasoline
did not ignite, otherwise we would mo-
have had the evideusce which was left
