HIS UNDOING

Four fires which within a month
have destroyed nearly s5OO.0O0 worth
or buildings and hardwood lumber at
the plant OF the Astoria Mahogany
Company in Astoria, We're explained
TO the satisfaction OF the Police and
Fire departments last night when
Frederick Clark, a workman employed
by the lumber concern, confessed to
Fire Marshal Thomas p. Brophy that
he had set all four fires for the pleas
ure of the blaze and excitement. TIe
was locked up in the Astoria police
station on charge Of arson.
Clark, who is "a years old and lives
at APT Flushing avenue. Astoria, Mar
shall Brophy said ~ rim that he
never had set fire before the first
one he started in the yard on septem-
Der is, but that during all his life he
has struggled against an impulse to
set them, and that after his first blaze
he realized that he was certain to set
one fire after another until he was
caught.
The mahogany company's plant occu-
pies nearly four blocks, most of the
space being given over to the storing
and seasoning Of logs and planks. Clark
las been in the employ of the concern
'le"rlv five years as a handler of logs,
and although the men who worked with
-. n.iem LAT ne took an inordina:e in
lerest in fires and was ready TO drop his
work any time and run after fire en-
gine none OF them suspected the extent
of his oosesslon or that there was any
danger in having him about the yards.
The first fire at the establishment was
set In Il planning mill. II was under con-
trol before 1t had gained great head
way. The next was on September 21.
IL was set by touching a light to paper
and shavings beneath a squared pile of
logs from which pitch was still drip
ping. The logs, which We're not Of hard
wood. were Of just the right age to burn
we'll and the wind was Of idesi intensity.
When the fire was put out after two
days of unremitting labor. the damage
was estimated at $375,O0o.
Clark might not have been suspected
then had not two more fires followed in
snort order, one on October 10 and the
other last Monday. Both caused con-
siderable damage. Interest began TO
centre in Clark when fireman who had
worked beside him remembered his ar
dor and the particularly happy smile on
his face.
Clark was the most jealous amateur
fireman visible at the four fires lie told
Marshal Brophy last night that his life
had been blighted by an unreali-ed am
bition to be fireman. He had tried TO
get into the departments Of several citiss,
but always had been rejected on ac-
count of a malformation OF one Of his
feet
