N. G. Kafoury. manager of the
store which is one of two operated
by the company here, estimates
his damage at between 500, 900
and 100000, and John Hughes,
of the Hughes company, owner OF
the building, places his loss at
$4,000. Only a portion of the
ruined clothing stock, which was
one of the largest in Salem, is GOV.
cred by insurance. The building is
said to be adequately protected.
Kafoury brothers will suffer their
chief loss, it was stated, on their
new spring stock which was not
covered by insurance.
Flames Spread Rapidly.
Surprise at the speed with
which the fire gained headway
was expressed by spectators who
saw the building become envelop-
ed in flames within is minutes
after a small conflagration was
first discovered in a wooden ware
house directly in the rear of the
store. Firemen, headed by Chief
Buck Hutton had water on the
blaze within five minutes after the
alarm had been turned in by A. Is.
McKillop, proprietor of the Royal
cafeteria, AGO State street, but it
was half hour later before tho
conflagration was under control.
Origin Not Known.
That the fire started in the old
warehouse back of the store, is the
opinion of Chief Hutton who
would offer no guess as to its
cause.
Flames did not reach the Rex
rooming house and none of the
frightened guests was injured.
Alarmed by the shouts of fire"
several Of the roomers hurried
down the stairs to the safety of
State street which, although well
filled with early morning pedes,
trians, offered safety to their
scantily clad persons. Mrs. l.. A.
johnson, manager of the Rex, es-
Inmates the damage done by smoke
and water in her establishment to
be approximately $1,000. Flames
crept up in the rear of the room
ing house, but did little damage.
To Repair Building.
Thousands of yards Of cloth,
hundreds Of women's hats, hun
dreds of suits and other apparel
were rendered worthless by the
flames which entirely ate out the

Mr.. Hughes said this morning. Re
work in the basement
where an addition to the store was
to be made, had been underway for
several days, and these embryonic
improvements are badly damaged.
