e $150,000 FIRE LAID | | TOLIGRTNING BOLT Alexandria Fertilizer Plant in Ruins as Result of Early Sunday Flames. Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 6—Fire, believed to have been started by a boit of lightning, early yesterday de- stroyed the plant of the Bryant Fer- tilizer Co., on the water front here. Nothing but charred posts remain of the buildings where millions of dollars’ worth of the product so im- portant to agriculture have been pro- duced. Since the fire of 1914, when the plant also was destroyed, it had been rebuilt on a larger le and was the scene of daily operations and Xtensive shipping. The cause of the previous fire never was ascer- tained Lack of Wind Aids Firemen. Stilln of the atmosphere follow- ing the storm from which the bolt is believed to have struck the build- ing is probably responsible for the fact that the Alexandria Fire De- partment was able to confine the flames to the fertilizer plant and save from destruction the Old Do- minion glass factory nearby Loss to the fertilizer plant, accord- ing to an official of the company, was great, because it is the beginning of the busy season. Insurance practi- cally covered the damage, however. About 50 men were thrown out of employment by the fire. Plans for rebuilding will be considered at once, it was said here today FOWLER TO CONTINUE DRIVE FOR CLEAN FOOD Declares Will Make Visists to Markets and Stores in Campaign.

John Edward Brown, former clerk of Redmond & Co., stock brokers, re cently acquitted of a charge of forg ing the name of a patron of the company to a receipt for a stock cer- tificate, was reindicted today by the grand ju on six similar charges.
