Probably the greatest handicap -of the firemen, according to Marshal Setb —next to the delayed report of the fire—was the melting away of pipes leading to seven gas meters in the | cellar of 201 D street, where all gas | enters the building. This allowed a flow of gas to circulate in the butld- ing and that made the work of fire- men perilous. The poison from the gas resulted only in the disablement 5% one firemen, although several were affected. The cause of the fire is undeter- mined. From the investigatiou today of the ruined basement, where it i8 believed to have started, it would seem as though It ate its way through woodwork from the rear of 203 D street to the front of the basement at 201 D street. Then it wound its course in all directions, mounting quickly to | the top stories of 201 and 203 D street, until it necessitated sending in the second and third alarms, calling out nine engine companies,” four truck companies and auxiliary apparatus. | Not Out Untll 4117 A.M.
