Building. 37-as Frankfort street, ana
to It's contents last night. Damage done
to raw and dressed hides stored In base
ments to the east Of the building may
exceed the FIRE loss. Tons of water
ran In that direction. and s6.00o.0oo

ter prices. following a recent break In

The fire was a stubborn affair. and
spectacular.

stairway to the sixth floor.
The building Is six story loft and
is valued at about $500 The larger
part OF the damage. $4,000. was sus-
tanned by hide and leather dealers.
Among the firms affected are the Behre
Iron Piping and Reinhart Leather Find
ings concerns, Frank H. Berry. leather
findings Ignatz Friedman. leather REM

dealers and finishers. Although the ire
adjusters have made no examination OF

o'clock and an alarmswas sent in. but
by the time the firefnen arrived the
blaze had gained such Roadway that
the top Of the building was a mass OF
