Her fingertip veil of white tulle caught to her hair by a white satin halo and she wore a corsage of roses at her waist, while in her hand she carried a small white prayer book.

That GIVEN BY MOE LInsurance msier Gives Views, Goldstein | Bldg. Fire insurance adjuster re- cently in Juneau, has issued the following self-explanatory state- ment regarding the Goldstein Bullding fire: “In connection with the Gold- stein Building fire loss, there were fifty-six claims, involving insur- ance In the amount of $302,740, on which the aggregate loss to all in- surance -companies was $159,551.53. | No doubt all*of these claims have been paid by this time “With reference to and cause of the fire been definitely. determined first theory advanced, as is known, was that a mattress in one of the apartments on the third floor had caught fire, which was discovered around 2 am F‘l)ln-i ary 8; that after such discovery the maltress was water-soaked and | then taken to the laundry room | in the basement of the Goldstein ! Building. The fire broké out in the basement at 5:30 a.m. Open Question “Whether or not this particular mattress took fire again and was the cause of the conflagration will always remain an open question. After digging the debris out of the basement a mattress was found which is claimed to be the mat- tress which had been brought down It is quite evident that the seat of the fire was not at the point where the mattress was. There were other things near the mattress, such books, chairs, and settees, which were merely scorched and not at all totally destroyed or obliterated. | 'his situation has a tendency to " discount the theory that the mat tress might have been the point of origin of the fire “There are many other which are probable and possible, | such as spontaneous combustion in | furs; the possibility of defective | wiring; the careless disposition of lighted ' cigarettes, whether thrown down an elevator shaft or about W.
