Head Night Watchman on MOrrO Castle StartleS
 Officials at Inquiry

New York, Sept 25.-UP)- Three separate fires may have been burning aboard the Ward liner Morro Castle the day it was destroyed, Arthur J. Bender, head night watchman, testified to-day at the department of commerce in- Quiry.
 As early as 1o:so p. m., the night before, Bender said ke smelled gasoline, or a cleaning fluid in the vicinity of the ships writing room where the fire is believed to have started. Ee as- stunned the stewards were following their usual custom of cleaning late the night before docking, and did not report the incident.
 Early the next morning he heard screams and loud talking on the hurricane deck. Investigating, he noticed what he thought was spray near the port ventilators. When he made a closer inspection he discovered it was smoke.
 Bender hurried below to "B- deck". As he ran by the radio shack he noticed it was PISA a. m. On "B" deck he saw more smoke coming from the ventilators con- nected with number two or three hold.
 Bender said he went to the writing room just as Daniel Camp bell, assistant beverage steward, opened locker. A white cloud of smoke giving the appearance of chemical fire, puffed out of the locker, the witness said. A few minutes later suites 20G. 20s. both unoccupied. burst Into flames.

N. Y. THEATRICAL
 MAN PURCHASES
 JACQUES THEATER
Mortgage Deed Filed To- day -Burlesque May
 Play There

Sale of the Jacques theater property at Phoenix and Abbott avenues by Mayor Frank Hayes to Mortimer l.. Hanover, prominent New York theatrical man, was an- nounced today. A mortgage deed of $50,000 from Mir. Hanover to the mayor was recorded in the town clerks office this morning. It is reported that in addition to mortgage a substantial cash sum was paid for the property.
 Attorney herman J. Weisman, who drew up the deeds of con- veyance, stated that Mir Hanover is associated with several theat- rical enterprises and it would not be surprising if burlesque of a high character was brought back to the city.
 To Renovate Building
 MT Weisman said MT Hanover began plans today to renovate the building and install new heating system in the property. It is the latter's hope. Mir Weisman added, to open the theater the week after next.
 Jacques rheater has been one of the most popular playhouses of the city since its opening, Nov 1, 1886. Of late years it has remained idle but in its heyday some of Amer ica's foremost actors and actresses played behind it's footlights. It always has been known as Jacques Opera House, the name given to it by its founder, the late Eugene Leslie Jacques. MT Jacques was born in Plymouth, April 30,. 1855, was educated in the Waterbury schools and gave Waterbury all the energy and brains that made for success in a theatrical way. He died Dec 4. 1905.

CAR IN WHICH
 MORSE WAS HELD
 BELIEVED FOUND
Police Also Discover Spot Where Schulte Employe
 Was Held Captive

The car in which Eugene Morse Schulte cigar store clerk, was held captive Sunday morning while his keys were being used to gain en- trance to and burglarize the East Main street establishment, has been definitely located, it was said this morning by Captain William P. Keegan, chief inspector of the de- tective bureau. Furthermore, detec- tives have found the place where len machine and have recovered the bonds, gag and blindfold which were used on the prisoner. These latest developments made police more optimistic that the daring ab- ductors and burglars may be ap- prehended.
 Amount in Doubt
 The exact amount of the loot secured by the burglars Is still in doubt, according to Capt Keegan, but Is somewhere above $97. Al first 1t was reported, that $500 and a considerable amount of stock had been taken. but inventory showed that no stock was missing. The cash taken was reported to the de- tective bureau yesterday as being $97, but has since been found to have been more than that.
 Stolen last Thursday, a car owned by Joseph McKenna of Walnut street is believed to have been the one used by the kidnap- pers of Morse. When found by po- lice, it was discovered to be cov- cred with mud inside and news paper which Morse had in his pocket at midnight Saturday was found on the floor. The machine was recovered on Long Hill road, but Detectives Connie Shanahan, Foley and Edward NIGEL ligott. who are investigating, have found that the spot where Morse was kept captive was in the Spin ile Hill section, between Wolcott and Greystone.
 Glasses Taken Away
 Morse, whose glasses were taken from him and who was blindfolded almost immediately. could not iden- tify the car stolen from McKenna IS the one in which he was taken but police feel certain that 1t is the car.
 A point still puzzling detectives s the fact that while the burglars W ere taking cash from one hiding place, they neglected to take some s25 from open cash registers and tailed to look for other spots where money was secreted. An- other puzzling point is the fact that the place was entered twice, at | :20 and at 4:2S. both times with the keys stolen from Morse.

The telephone number and ad- dress were those of Dr John F. Condon, who delivered $50,000 ran- som money to man now believed to be Hauptmann.
 The dramatic announcement that detectives in their tireless search for evidence to break down Haupt- mann's denial of guilt had ripped from the prisoners home a board on which the notation had been written came after federal agents had connected the prisoner with footprints found outside the Lind bergh home.
 1auptmann's footprints, as re- ported by the United Press in a Washington dispatch early today, were similar to the prints found at the scene of the Kidnapping and at the scene of ransom payment, ex- perts decided.
 Despite claims by Hauptmann's counsel that the defense had been greatly strengthened by develop ments today, District Attorney Fo- ley considered the notations found in Hauptmann's home as the final link in an iron clad" case.
 In addition, numbers were writ ten in the closet which were defin- itely connected with the serial numbers of Lindbergh ransom bills.
 Hauptmann admitted writing the notations, Foley said, but explained it by saying he was interested" in the Lindbergh case.

 Lights Still Dark
 A still further delay in the completion of the apparently ill., starred decoration of the postof- flee became known today when Postmaster Kelley was informed that the company which had been given the contract of installing new lighting fixtures. in the lobby and offices has been closed by court order. This will mean that after the matter has gone through the usual yards of red tape, new bids will be called for, leaving the lighting status exactly the same as it was before the new building was officially opened in the spring of 1888.
 The technical reason cited by MT Reynolds for the cancellation of the painting contract with the F.M Company is that the time limit has expired. The contract, call- ing for painting the plaster on the postoffices interior walls, was given out July 16, the work to be completed within 90 days. Though
