FIRE At INDIANAPOLIS
FIRMS WORKING On WAR CON-
TRACTS SUFFER 100000
LOSS.
STARTED BY AN lNCENDlARY7
Four-Story INDUSTRIAL Building, Six
Dwellings, Church and Other
Structures Destroyed-Firemen
Handicapped by Cold.

Indianapolis, Jan. 15.-Fire. believed
to have been started by an incendiary,
probably on alien enemy, on Sunday
night RACED the four-story Industrial
building, occupying the entire block
bounded by Tenth, Eleventh and Fay
cite street and the canal, and perifed
the entire district bounded by Tenth
street on the south, the canal on the
west, Fall creek on the north and ILL
1ois street.
The property loss is estimated at
more than $1,000,000, but in spite OF
the fact that six dwellings, a church,
grocery and a saloon were also de-
stroyed, 1t is believed that no lives
were lost.
Thirty manufacturing firms have
establishments in the lndustrlal
building, and the fact that many or
them are engaged in making machines
and supplies, under war contracts, Tor
the government leads the authorities
TO believe that the fire was started Dy
an alien enemy.
Fire Chief Loucks is of the opinion
that the blaze was of incendiary orr
gin and federal agents and the city
police are proceeding on this theory.
The flames appeared to break out
simultaneously in two widely sepa-
rated parts of the structure. Famed
by gale that swept from the south
west, the flames spread with such
rapidity that the 81 companies-ln-
dianapolis' entire equipment-had to
struggle desperately TO save adjacent
blocks to the north and east.
The firemen were handicapped In
their work by the zero weather. In
order to augment the water supply
Chief Loucks hau holes cut in the Ice
Of the canal. and was thus able to get
additional streams.
Falling walls placed the fire fighters
In danger and cut line after line OF
hose.
The rapidity with which the fire
spread was explained by the fact that
the automatic sprinkler system. with
which the building was equipped
throughout, had been shut off in all
but the southwest corner. In a small
section of the plant only did the
Eprinklers work
So quickly did the fire spread that
it was impossible to save the contents
Of the factories in the Industrial
building. 1t was estimated that fully
100000 worth of new automobiles
were stored in the basement.
Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan, 15.-The
Hawkins block, a six-story office build
Ing in the business district, was de-
stroyed and two other big buildings ad-
joining were being swept by fire OF
undetermined origin on Sunday night.
Almost impossible drifts of snow, I'M
peded the firemen in their efforts TO
control the flames.
