PHILADELPHIA, August 15.—The fire at the Point Breeze oil works of .the Atlantic Refining Company, in which five persons were killed and “ mearly a score injured, was finally ex- tinguished early today after a battle of more than twenty-four hours by | virtually the entire city fire depart- ¢ ment. One of the injured, John H. Grum, ; fifty-one years old, was burned so badly that physicians do not expect him to recover. Five tanks, each containing 20,000 . barrels of oil; four “agitator” tanks, ith a capacity of 4,000 barrels each; three pumphouses and a number of 7pipe lines were destroyed. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000. The cause-of the blaze has not been etermined. Officials of the fire department ex- pressed the belief the fire was caused iby the backfiring of a motor cycle idden by a workman. In leaving the iplant for his isyme the workman was 'ompelled to pass over a narrow bridge spanning a gully where ! gasoline fumes from leaking pipes hung densely. The motor cycle, shat- “tered and bent, was found today on is bridge, and the fire officials said THE EVENING BTAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Company officials announced that {reconstruction would begin immedi- Zately and that none of the 2,200 em- 4 ployes would be thrown out of work.
