Body Found in
Ruins Left by
Rockaway Fire
Two Men Reported Missing
as Rumors of Incendi-
arism Lead to Investiga-
ton Of $35O,OOO Blaze

body, believed to be that of man,
was discovered yesterday in the ruins
left by a fire which swept through an
entire block along the Boardwalk at
Rockaway Beach Two persons have
been reported missing since the FIRE.
They are Isidor Lissner, seventy years
old, who WAS staying at Seidenberg's
Hotel, and Henry Shein, a lifeguard at
the Neptune Baths 1t is not known
whether the body found is that of either
Of them.
The fire started behind Murphy's
Hotel at 105 Ocean Avenue, which is
the designation of the Boardwalk, and
destroyed virtually every building in
the block between 105th and 106th
streets, from the walk to Croft Street.
The damage was estimated by Deputy
Fire Chief Frank Kelly at $35O,0oo.
1t was about l a. m. when the fire
was discovered, and it was more than
two hours before the fremen had it
under control. Five alarms were sent
in, calling all available apparatus in
lyn. Only a steady offshore breeze
enabled the fremen to keep the flames
from spreading inland from the water
front block
Hundreds were driven from their
homes and scores of families lost all
their belongings, even their clothes.
1t was a common sight ins the morning
to see men and women traversing the
streets with bathrobes or overcoats
gathered close about them.
An investigation is under way, as
rumors were current the fire was of
incendiary origin.
Several firemen were slightly injured
by falling timbers and broken glass
and several women became hysterical
and required medical attention. The
following buildings, most Of them be-
ing one-story structures, were de-
stroyed:
Baxter's pier. Goldberg's lunch room,

Anniversary of Bomb Disaster
District Patroled Against Recurrence of Explosion
That Cost 80 Lives; Plotters Never Found;
Homes of Wealthy Also Protected

Gegan's force will return to do duty in
the financial district to-day
Inquirers at Police Headquarters
yesterday could get little information
on the investigation of the explosion
of a year ago. Officials had nothing to
tell of developments. 1t was admitted
that an explosion did occur, that a
number of persons were killed and that
nearly $1,000,0o0 damage had been
caused. One official of the department
said, eve are still working on the case"
Among those questioned by the police
in their year of investigation were 100
horseshoe makers, as many harness
makers and most of the remaining
horseshoers within a radius of 200 miles.
= Two arrests have been made in con-
nection with the case. On April 10 De-
partment Of Justice agents took Tito
Ligi, of Scranton, Pa, into custody on
suspicion of having been implicated in
the explosion. After some questioning
he was freed. On May 18 agents of the
same department arrested Giuseppe dc
Felipos, of 500 Hudson Boulevard, Bay
onne, N. j. He subsequently was dis
charged.

Bedtime Stories
Striped Chipmunk Makes a Change
BY Thornton w. Burgess
Don't put off. You're tempting fate
BY and By may be too late.
Striped Chipmunk.

1t is provoking to have to change
thing which you have thought just
suited you. Don't you think so? Most
folks do. Striped Chipmunk did. He
almost lost his temper over it.
That little round doorway that
quite by accident he had made in
the middle of the path along one side
of the Old Orchard had suited him so
we'll that he had decided to keep it.
1t was where no one would think OF
looking for it, and for this reason
Striped Chipmunk felt that it was
safer than one hidden in the kind Of
place that an enemy would be likely
to search.
But now Black Pussy had found
IT: How she had done so Striped
Chipmunk didn't know, and he didn't
waste any time in wondering. 1t was
enough for him that she had. 1t had
SO nearly cost him his life that he
sn!vered to think of it. Never had
ne mad more narrow escape. He had
popped out Of that little round door
way without first looking to see if all
was safe, and he had popped almost
into the very claws of Black Pussy.
All that had saved Striped Chipmunk
nao Deen the falling of certain little
apSse right on Black Pussy's head lust

Chipmunk, talking to himself as he
sat on the old stone wall looking over
toward that new doorway. She'll be

excepting Shadow the Weasel thar
oy Black Pussy. 1t isn't safe any
more. no, sir; it isn't safe. I'VE
got to give it up and make new

having made up his mind that there
IS work to do Striped Chipmnnk
wastes no time. There isn't q Law
oone IN him. Also he believes thor.
oughly that when thing must be-
done the sooner it is done the bet-
ter. So now he looked this way and
looked that way and looked the other
way to make sure that no one was
watching him. Then he scurried
through the grass over to his little
round doorway in the middle of the
path. Close beside it he sat up for
look around. He must decide where
to make new doorway.

the path and the old stone wall wa

The Wall Street explosion, in which
thirty y-nine persons were killed. more
than 200 injured and nearly 100000
property damage was done, occurred a
year ago to-day. The mystery has
never been solved.
Fearing that the perpetrators might
attempt to observe the anniversary
with another outrage, the police yes
terday took precautionary measures
against another tragedy.
Detective Sergeant James Gegan,
head of the bomb squad. with many of
his operatives and men recruited from
the Detective Bureau, passed yester-
day in the financial district. They
guarded the Treasury, the Assay
Office and the Morgan and other bank
ing houses.
1t was announced at Police Head
quarters at night that extra guards of
patrolmen had been sent to points
throughout the city to guard the homes
of the wealthy, city officials and prom
inent men. They will be on watch at
these places for forty-eight hours.

long ago had been part of the
old wall. Striped Chipmunk scam
pered over there. His eyes sparkled.
He chuckled. Then without saying
word he whisked over to the old
stone wall and close to it began to
dig.
My, how Striped Chipmunk made
the sand fly! Whatever he does he
does with all his might. He was soon
out of sight in the new sunnel he
was digging. The sand he pushed out
at the entrance. 1t made q constantly

stones of the old wall. Once in
