HUNT FOR F|REBUG
AFTER BLAZE KILLS
FIFTEEN IN HARLEM
District Attorney, Police and
Fire Departments Begin
Inquiries.
ARREST IN BAYONNE,
Several Reported Missing,
but Are Believed to Be
With Relatives.

The number Of those who perished
in the supposed inccndiary fire in the
apa artment house at No. 1873 licking
ton Avenue, at the southeast corner
of 10th Street, was this morning in
creased to fifteen by the death in Har.
lem. Hospital of Mrs. Rose Inglese,
eighty-flve years old.
More than a score were hurt and
several arc reported missing, but FIRE
men who have searched tho ruins be
lieve those unaccounted for arc with
relatives somewhere.
There is so much evidence that the
fire was caused by a flrchug that the
police, the Fire Department and the
District Attorneys Office are to-day
engaged in a wide search for the
culprit.
The police OF Bayonne, N. j., ar
rested and delivered to the police OF
this city to-day Albert II. Molnar,
thirty three, of No. 2O7 East 9th
Street, on the chance that he might
have knowledge of the cause of the
fire.
Molnar told the Bayonne police he
was a member of a gang Of inccn-
diaries and drug takers who had their
headquarters in the basement OF a
Negro church in East 97th street,
Manhattan, and that he and others in
this crowd had set fire to the Lex
ington Avenue apartment house just
to see 1t burn. Later he denied know
ing anything about the fire.
Molnar was arrested yesterday in
front of st. Andrews Roman Catholic
Church, Bayonne. He was sitting
surrounded by several dozen boxes Of
soda crackers with n candle burning
before him.
His wife, who called at the Bayonne
police station this morning, said he
had been i'll for some time. She added
he had left home yesterday to go to
Elizabeth. During the night. Molnar
became violent, smashing windows
and furniture in his cell

There is but one exception TO this
decision and that is that foreign ships
may carry in their stores a stock
necessary for the crews ratons on
the eastbound (away from the United
States) voyage. A bond of $25, 900
must be filed by the lines against the
use of this liquor for any purpose
other than as crews rations.
Judge Hands ruling was a sweeping
victory for the United States Govern
ment. The United States authorities in
Washington have declared their inten-
ton Immediately to enforce the pro-
visions of the Daughcrty ruling. which
holds that the Eighteenth Amendment
and the Prohibition Enforcement Law
bar liquor from traversing the three
mile limit.
Judge Hand specifically points out
in his decision he was not going to
rule on the applicability OF the Eigh-
teenth Amendment to United States
ships at sea. So as his ruling reads
now all ships-Amerlcan or foreign
h'Hs ~ NNL bA AliNNA Allpo W WV
United States, providing they become
Saharas by the time they reach the
three mile limit.
Judge Hands decision read, in part:
1T is conceded. and, indeed, could
not be disputed, that had the liquors
here in question been a part of the
ships cargo, the bills would not lie.
1t makes no difference that they were
not to be broached while carried
within territory of the United States;
the carriage would be transportation
none the less. But because they are
part of the ships stores, in the sense
that that term is generally under
stood, the plaintiffs argue that they
do not fall within the same rule.
This argument rests upon two al
tentative premises. First, that trans
portation' involves a place where,
and person to whom, the goods are
to be delivered; and second, that a
ships stores have by long custom
been treated as a part OF the 'furnl
ture' OF the ship, which do not with
out particular mention become sub
ject to the municipal law OF the ports
into which she enters, any more than
the ship herself.
Even II Transportation were de-
fined to involve some delivery. I do
not see how that would help the plain
tifts. These liquors are carried for
delivery at sea to passengers and
crew, and when so delivered their
transportation ends. There appears
tonne no significant distinction in the
fact that the place of delivery is the
ship itself. The carriage within the
limits Of the Port OF Now York is a
part of transit whose purpose from
the beginning is that very delivery.

Confirmation of an extension OF the

Rumors of the well were current
all day Thursday, but could not be

well from Haynesville and the i'm
passable condition of the roads. Wire
trouble added to this difficulty, and
It was not until Friday morning
that anything definite was learned.
Prior to that there had been any

many otherwise.

Malcern, Arkansas, Well
Creating Much Interest

Some of the scouts who have been
at the Malvern wildcat well in 1874
16. two miles northeast of the town
of Malvern, Ark. have been wiring
their friends to come Immediately,
and that the showing of oil justifles
further drilling. quito a number
are making the trip.
Elsewhere will be found a clip
ping from the Shreveport (La.
Times of Saturday, which docs not
indicate a very big well but attri-
butes the apparent failure to poor
drilling. From other sources 1t is
learned that the sand is more as
phalt than an oil sand, but one can't
quite tell at this distance.
All wildcat wells that show oil are
dangerous and should be watched
by men who know the game, and
can get line on the probable pro-
duction.
The first well in many OF the well.
known fields was underestimated,
and this caused the Tulsa oil men to
lose many great opportunities.
The well and the outfit that II
was drilled with will probably go
down In history as the most remark
able test ever drilled by n make
shift bunch of tools, and real drill
ers who have visited the we'll have
come away with great stories to tell
