FIREBUG VISITS
PIMLIC0 TRACK
German Plotters Suspected, as
in the Case Of Belmont
Park BlaZes.

The mystery surrounding the two flres
at Belmont Park within tho past month
was heightened last night when des-
patches were received from Baltimore
that fire was discovered shortly before
midnight in the stables at the Pimlico
racetrack, the spring meet OF which was
to have begun this afternoon.
Many valuable horses are Quartered
there. and many Of them were In danger
from the flames. 1t IL believed that the
fire, as we'll as those at Belmont Park.
was the work OF Germans or German
sympathixers who believed that the big
racetracks were likely to be used either
as training camps for troops or intern
ment centres for enemy aliens.
The twin stables occupied by DR.. J.
9. Tyree's horses and those Of the Sage
Stables Of New York were burned by the
Pimlico fre. Fourteen valuable horses
perished, among them being Don Moran
and 'Sanfara Of the Tyree Stables.
Bucket brigades worked to save the
other stables and a change In the wind
aided the rescuers.
Rewards totalling $4,000 have been
offered for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of tho person or
persons responsible for the hres at Bel
mont Park on Sunday. when twenty
eight valuable horses were burned to
ueAtn. anu on ApTii " W"ou t"o oss"o
ings on the Belmont Park racetrack
were destroyed. ,-.--.,.... .
The practical certainty that the frst
fire was Of incendiary origin developed
into an almost absolute certainty with
the Sunday fire. Racetrack officials and
Queens county authorities have no clue
to use in their search for the man or mer
who started the blazes. but private de
tectives have been engaged to supple
ment the work of tho city detectives.
There are three rewards offered for In
formation. The Westchester Racing As
sociation offers $500 for information
leading to arrest and conviction for the
April FIRE; the Jockey Club offer:
$4,000 for information leading to ar
rest and conviction for the same FIRE

who owned twenty-six OF the twenty
eight horses burned to death on Sun
day, offer $1,000 reward for Information
