STIL EXPLOSIO SETS HOUSE AFIRE (Continued from First Page) | talns were torn from their places like so much tissue paper. The of- ficers helped the occupants of the| tenements to leave in dafety, the! women and children being cared for by nelghbors. The greatest damage was done in| a bedroom off the kitchen, every bit; of furniture being burned ‘o a crisp. ' The bed burned like tinder. leaving a few charred sticks of the wood | The floor, walls and ceiling were burned, and everything in the room was destroyed. Beyond this room, in the front of the tenement, anoth- er bedroom was reached by the fire, but not sufficiently to cause much damage. Baby cribs in which the comfortables and other equipment | were rumpled by the hurried exit of the children, were not damaged. Fears “Mooushine”; Distills Wine Dizzia told the police and firemen | that he was distilling wine for his| own use at Christma@ because he was afraid to drink “moonshine” of the sort that is available for pur- chase, He had the “still” only a short time, he said, and last night before retiring, he put it on top of the gas range and thought it would | be safe to let it operate during the| night. Sergeant J. C. Stadler looked about the tenement and found five gallons of alcohol in a closet in the, damaged bedroom. He had the “atill,” the alcohol and the cooling apparatus taken to the police sta- tion. The *still”, made of copper, was ripped apart 4s thought it were | made of cardboard, so terrific was; fhe explosion, and the gas range was slightly damaged. The firemen were greeted by a! strong odor of illuminating gas as| they neared the house, and it was thought possible that the “still” boiled over and extinguished the flame beneath it, with the result that the gas filled the house and in some manner exploded, but the more gen- erally accepted theory is that the “atill” exploded. Kitchen Not Touched | It was noted that the kitchen was | not touched by the fire, with the ex- ception of a slight scorching about | the door frames at the entrances to | the first bedroom and the dining room. This condition was taken to indicate that the explosion caused the gas flame to leap from the stove to the bedroom. The fire did not reach the dining room or the living | room, the former being on the’south side, directly opposite the first bed- room while the living room is on the south side opposite the front bed- room. Chlef W. C. Hart of the police de- partment said today that the facts would be lald before Prosecuting Attorney J. G. Woods to decide whether to prosecute Dizzia for vio- lation of the liquor law. Dizzia is said to be connected with a whole- sale frult and produce business in| this city. According to the fire de- partment report, Felix Lutynski of Kelsey street owns the property.
