ROUTS EMPLOYEES
One Is Treated for Effects
of Smoke-Damage Esti-
mated at $4,000.

Fire breaking out in the basement Of
the F. d w. Grand Ten Cent Store,
Seventh and D streets, today destroyed
an estimated $4,000 worth Of prop
erty and forced four employees who
had arrived early for work to fee from
the building.
Although actual damage from the
blaze was confined to the basement,
smoke billowing from the upper win
dows of the four-story building at
tracted a crowd of nearly 5000 persons
on their way to work shortly after 8
o'clock
Sixth Battalion Chief L. L. Woolard
said the fire started in or near the
millinery department of the basement.
The exact cause was undetermined, but
faulty wiring was held possibility.
Mrs. Estelle Bowman, a cook in the
store lunch room, ran unaided from
the second floor and later was taken
to the store clinic for treatment from
the effects of smoke Three young
stock clerks ran from the third floor
when they were warned Of the fire
by passerby. The boys, none Of
whom was injured, were Chester Han
dler, 616 Rittenhouse street; Leon
Canova, 1916 Jefferson street, and John
Baumgardner, address unknown.
Property damage in the basement
was confined principally to the front
two-thirds of the building which con-
tained clothing, shoes, hats, toys and
notions. Flames sweeping near the
basement ceiling partially destroyed
articles suspended from high racks at
the rear of the floor
Half of about four dozen baby
chicks taken from the basement were
killed by smoke.
In estimating the damage, Chief
Woolard said property loss from smoke
on the upper three floors could not be
accurately determined, but he be-
lieved the amount would mot run
much over $4,000, including every
thing"
Offices occupy the second floor and
stock rooms of the 10-cent store the
third and fourth floors.

memory, others from pictures.
His pride is the model Of the
Persian, a German vessel which
Garrison believes is the only five

called the Flying Dutchman in its
day, and once set a record of II
