Incendiarism Suspected In
Marlboro Blaze

A fire, believed by some firemen
to have been of incendiary origin,
early today swept the three-story
frame warehouse of the Fisher
store in Upper Marlboro and for
a time threatened the entire busi-
ness district of the community.
The fire was discovered by Miss
Catherine Duvall, who lives a few
doors away. First firemen on the
scene said they found two fires
raging in the basement Of the
warehouse.
d. C. Firemen Called
Before apparatus summoned
from every community in the
county and from Washington,
Annapolis, West Annapolis, and
La Plata could reach the fire to
aid the Marlboro companies, the
flames had made the warehouse
a raging furnace.
Firemen concentrated their ef-
forts on preventing a spread of
the flames. Windows in the west
face of the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank, which adjoinS the
warehouse, were burned out, and
considerable damage was done by
water which got into the bank
from hose lines.
The flames burned through the
east side of the new Fisher store,
but were extinguished before they
could do much damage to stock.
Most of the damage in the
Fisher store, as yet uneStimated,
was done by water.
Ruins at the warehouse began
smouldering again later in the
day and fire apparatus was called
out to put down the blaze.
Opposite Courthouse
The fire was directly across
the street from the Prince
Georges county courthouse, and
the flames quickly put out of
commission all telephone lines in
the west end of the town, in
cluding the telephones into the
offices of the county police and
the sheriff.
Miss Duvall had to run to the
telephone exchange, on the west
ern edge of town. to summon aid.
Miss Virginia Ridgeway, operator
on duty, and Mrs. Harry Morris,
chief operator, began calling
county volunteer organizations to
the scene.
Fireman Given Treatment
The Bladensburg fire rescue
SQUAD responded with it's new
ambulance and treated one fire
man who was slightly cut on the
leg.
The warehouse had no light
connections and firemen were at
a loss to explain the two. fires
they said were burning about IS
feet apart in the basement. The
building had been used as the
Fisher store before the new store
was built next door. It is oper-
ated by Jacob L. Fisher.

A girl may spend four years in CO.

The other Is novel doll which the
