FIRE DESTROYS FINE
OLD BAPTIST CHURCH
Police investigation Unable to
Unearth Possible In
Cendiary Origin.

News-Times Special Service;
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, May -
Detectives. acting under the d.
recti0n Of Supt Of Police Carroll.
Fire Marshal Boughner and City
Mgr Cummin, were unable 10 un-
earth any tangible evidence that the
fire which destroyed the Fountain
Street Baptist church doing dam
age OF about 500. 600 was OF in
cendiary origin.
All Indications are that the blaze
was caused either by spontaneous
combustion or defective wiring and,
while the investigation will coatinue,
IL is not probable that any evidence
OF incendiarism viii be shown.
The fact that the fire did not
break out until nearly $50 in the
morning served TO dispel the belief
that anyone was directly respon-
sible for the blaze. The police
pointed out that had anyone desired
10 fire the church they would have
done so under the cover Of darkness
rather than in broad daylight.
Gas Probably Caused Explosion.
An inspection Of the ruins lead 10
the belief that the fire started in the
basement and the explosion heard
by persons in the neighborhOOd was
caused by gas
So great was the Roadway Of the
flames when the dremen arrived
that il was impossible TO enter the
building. and it was more than two
E1urs before the blaze was under
control and adjoining buildings safe.
When the FIRE was discovered the
entire building was in flames, and
soon afterward the roof caved in
and a great shower Of burning en-
bars was sent upon the roofs Of adj
Joining buildings.
Every available piece Of fire fight
ing apparatus was called. and a pa
troll OF all buildings in the business
section was continued until the dan
ger Of the fire spreading was en-
hfsly eliminated.
