MARSHAL PROBES
APARTMENT BLAZE
$4,000 Damage Is Done BY Fire
Starting in Basement of
the BalfOur

An investigation is under way to-
day by officials Of the fire marshars
office to determine the origin OF the
blaze which damaged the Balfour
apartment house, Sixteenth and u
streets northwest yesterday after
noon. Although an official estimate
OF the damage has not yet been made
1t is expected that the loss will reach
$4,000.
The fire originated In the basement
of the house and carried through the
house via the dumb waiter. The
kitchens of all the apartments with
which the dumb waiter is connected,
were damaged.

ment on the sixth floor of the build
ing, was burned on the face when he
opened the door OF the dumb waiter
shaft and the flames burst out
Three Alarms sounded.
The first alarm brought three en-
gine companies and Battalion Chief
Thomas O'Connor. Seeing the extent
to which the fire had spread, Chief
O'Connor Immediately sounded a Sec
opd alarm and a third alarm, which
brought several companies from the
downtown section.
While the fire was in progress per-
sons were brought from the upper
floors to the street by an. elevator
which was kept running.
Lieut. Col. ii. NJ. Groninger, OF
the army general staff, who occupies
an apartment in. the building. made
futile efforts to extinguish the blaze
in his apartment. On entering his
kitchen he saw the flames burning the
woodwork, and rushed to the hall
where he secured n fire extinguisher.
$500 Necklace Lost.
Mrs. L. b. Latham, who occupies
apartment 81. reported to the police
that while the fire was in progress
pearl necklace valued at 5000 was
mislaid or stolen.

he realized that their work was of
the most difficult character.
One of the chief difficulties in the
situation was the fact that conditions
throughout the United States were so
widely different that ii was apparent
that it would be impossible to deal
with all sections OF the country alike.
Therefore a great deal Of responsible
ity was left with the regional directors
of railroads and with the regional and
local coal committees. However, some
general principles were laid down inn
medaiely which were followed IN n
general way throughout the coal strike.
The preliminary rule was laid down
that no coal should be given TO any
consumer who had reserve supply.
and that coal should only be given 10

Get Reports Daily.
In order TO avoid long distance com
municatIon, the rule was set up that
persons desiring coal should make APP
pllcation on the road ordinarily sup
plying them with coal and in order
that the central coal committee should
be kept constantly supplied with in
formation machinery was set up under
which each railroad should promptly
report to the central coal committee
and TO the regional coal committee the
name, title. location and telephone All
dress of the representative of that rail
road in whom the whole conl question
would be centeTed for that railroad
IN addition, each regional coal com
mittee was instructed to make daily
reports to the central coal committee
and others mapped out in advance
Each railroad or each grand division
of the railroad was also instructed to
report daily by wire to the regional
coal committee information az to its
coal situation on the day previous.

with very little actual lack of coal by
householders. with practically all pub
