G Street Store Damage

Reported Found.
picture on Page BIZ

Fire of apparently lncendiary orr
gin caused heavy damage to the base
ment and second floors and slightly
damaged the street floor of the Homer
L. Kilt Co. at 1880 G street NV,
early today. Total damage was esti-
mated at more than $4,000.
Fire Marshal Calvin c. LAUDER said
preliminary investigation had turned
up "a definite clue" to the, person be-
lieved responsible for the blazes.
His investigation centered on indica-
tions that the damaging fires were
the elimination OF persistent efforts
to burn the building Employees said
three previous fires during the last
few weeks had been put out with only
superficial damage They occurred
about the same time as the dawn
blaze today.
Firemen responding to the first of
two alarms at 5:32 am. found the
front door of the store open. One
blaze was burning fiercely in the base
ment, another on the second floor
and minor fire had started near the
street entrance, firemen said.
Fires Start Separately.
Mr.. LAUDER said his investigation
showed the fires had started sepa-
rately and had not spread from one
central point. The basement blaze
apparently broke out in sheet music
stored under the stairs, but did not
spread up the stairway. Firemen said
the first-floor blaze was confined to
draperies.
The separate origin of the fires was
convincing evidence that they were
set by some one, Mr.. LAUDER said.
Homer L. Kilt, president of the firm,
said it was impossible to estimate the
damage Immediately, but indicated it
probably would exceed $4,000. The
firm was protected by insurance, he
said
$4,000 Stock Destroyed.
A $4,000 stock of sheet music in
the basement was destroyed. Scores
of valuable radios. pianos and other
instruments on the second floor were
burned. The third and fourth floors
suffered smoke and water damage.
The first alarm was reported turned
in by an employe of an adjacent res
taurant. This and a second alarm
brought eight engine companies and
three truck companies to the scene,
along with the fire rescue squad.
Several firemen were reported al
most overcome by the smoke and heat,
but none was affected seriously enough
for treatment.
Mr.. Kilt said the building, owned
by his company, would be repaired and
remodeled as soon as possible. II had
talked with an architect recently about
making some changes" he said, "and
now it looks as if we will have to make
a lot.''
Employees hurriedly cleared away
debris from the main floor and the
store was open for business today.
Music lessons were carried on in re-
cital rooms and other parts of TIE
building that escaped damage from
the flames.
