Fisher set two fires of the series that scattered ruins through- out the city vesterday morning. Declaring that Fisher, 29-year-old former policeman and recently o psychopathic patient here, had con- fessed to causing the two. blages, police authorities said he had done S0 after watching firemen battle gwo earlier downtown blazes. They said he admitted touching matches to the McDowell Z Sons’ grain ware- house &t Eckington Place and Q street, in the northwest quarter of the city, and then to ‘the Lank Woodworking company at 14th and W streets, northwest. Fizher was arrested as he returned to his home after having spent more than two hours watching local fire- | M men and other summonad from out of town to fight Yhe flames he had cauged. He stoutly denied connection Wwith the other major fires. With & charge of arson ledged against Fisher, police continued their investigation today of the oth- er conflagrations. Fire department officials said they held no doubt that three of the big fires were of incendiary origin, that two others were accidental and that another wes of questionable origin. In the ruine of two of the fires & number of oil cans were found, mppnrtln‘ the suspicion of arson. The city. fire department was on normal scheduls today, with all companies back in their regular sta- tions recovering from more than 12 hours of continuous duty. ‘Water de- partment officials. ‘estimated that during the fire period hundreds of | hoses poured out more. ‘than five million gallons of water. §05.

RALRGAD HEAD LOSES FIGHT Loree Bested in Attempt to.Cor- tol Labigh Yally Philadeiphia; - Jan. 18 UP—L. F. Loree, - - president -of ‘the Delaware and Hudson roilroad,” has lost the opening skirmish in. what is regard- ed_as .« fight for contrel of the Le- high Valley railroad. A little block of leps than 6,000 shares ~ preved | - sufficient to keep the road under the direction of :the present regime, ‘The contest of two great figures in | the- railroed world, backed by op- | posing financlal . forces, was stag-d | here yesterday at-the.annual meet ing of the road's stockholders, rep- Under a docision of the judger, reached aftet long argument by op- posing - attorneys, the Loree inter- estn_ lost the votes represented by 46,700 ghares of stock .ragistered originally in the name of H L. Harkness of New York, but within the last 69 days transferred to in- terests representing* the Wabash railroad. The decision hinged on the legallty of votes cast by stockhold- ers who had failed to register or transter their stock within the pre. ceding 60 days. Under the ruling the Loomis interests cost 52,860 votes. In the final count the Loree faction had 508,642 shar: while the present control had 514,466 shares. Both sides claimed that so many votes had been disfranchised that it would be a matter for the courts to settle. John Hampten Barnes, Lores counsel, already hes filed a brief of protest against the ruling of the judges, it was said. The financial houses of J. P. organ and company and Drexel and company were back of the Le. high Valley and the Loomis regime, it was 'stated, while supporting Loree were Kuhn, Loeb and com- vany end other fipancial forces. President Loomis and the board of directors were re-elected as a net result of the meeting. The Lehigh Valley, with an esti- mated value of $240,000,000, has long been regarded as o key road to the coal regions of Pennsylvania. KILLED BY AUTO TRUCK M. I T.
