FIREMAN HAD “ARSON MANIA, HE CONFESSES McInerney Started a Blaze Nearly Every Night— Half Million Losses. PASSION GREW. UPON HIM, ‘Americus Engine Company, to Which He Belonged, Always First at a Blaze. — CAUGHT BY THE POLICE. —_—_— Residents of Neighborhood Indignant and Demand Sevorest Punish- ment for Culprit. When James McInerncy, a broad- Bhouldered young man, on whose coun- tenance there wavers always a pecullar get grin, was arraigned b@fore Acting Recorder Lasarus in Bayonne to-day he frankly confessed to having set fire to fifteen dwelling-houses within the last year, He did it because he likes to see things burn, he: said, and also in the hope that as a volunteor fireman he might win a medal for being the first to arfive at tuy blaze, ° Thovgh the singular youth only con- fewses to starting fifteen fires, the Police of Bayonne declare that in the past two years he has applied the torch to 10) dwelling places, barns and sheds, the passion for fires growing Upon him of late so that he has started @ blaze a night. Tt ts estimated that McInerney's fires cost Bayonne property-owners a half million dollars. The firebug is twenty-two years old, ‘a bollermaker employed at the Standard Oll Company's works and the sole sup- port of his aged parents and ten broth- ers and sisters, He joined the Americus Engine Company in West Twenty-seo- ‘ond street two years ago, and has alnce been looked upon as a model fireman, as he has always been the first to arrive ata fire, This is bis story of how his passion for seeing fires grew into a mania that he was unable to conquer! Loved to See Flames, “Aa long as I can remember, my chiet @eligitt was in watohing things burn, Ag @ child of four or five years I used to love to burn things up or see flames, ‘When I grew older I pet fire to every- thing that was not of value I went to work in the Standard Oll Works #0 I Could see the big fires under the boilers ‘and the fires in the refining plant. “Ten 1 thought what a great big fire there would be if al) the oll tanks began to burn up at once. I was looky ing and hoping for such a fire all the time, and they had one about four yeara ago, From always running to fires I became ambitious to join tho Wire De- partment, for then I knew I could al- ways get on the engine and rile behind horses. "One of the rules of my fire company fe that the first one to arrive at the engine-house should hitch up the fhorses, drive them to the fire and be ‘ge until the foreman's arrival, jome months before I got into house first, and I liked {t 80 a crawy to do tt again, But whole month went by and no fire, I was eaten up with desire for a blaze and I just had to go and start one, I got a bunoh of waste out of the fre: fhhouso and set fire to a Wig barn. “When I got used to setting my fires I had a regular system, I had a place where I kept cans of kerosene and | waste. I always waited until everything was dark jn the house and then put the | wasto or oiled rage In a hallway and lighted them, I did not want them to start too fast, and fixed the fire go it would not break loose before I could get good start for the engine-house, I didn't want to burn any one up or have any Hyes lost through my fires.’ a HID IN BED WHILE BURGLARS WORKED St, Regis Chef Identifies Robber Who Rifled Store Below Mis Lodgings. While returning to his lodgings, at No, $60 Sixth avenue, on the night of March 19 Tony Gatto, thirty-two years of age, @ chof at the St, Regis, noticed two men breaking into the store of Isaac Fries, a ladies’ talloring establishment below Gatlo's rooms. When he looked in to see what they were doing the men demanded what he wanted, Gatlo told them ‘he lived upstairs, whereupon they ordered him to go up and mind his own DR MAXWELL TALK Children Craving Food Are’ _ Easily Tempted by the SUGGESTS A SOLUTION. Advocates City Providing Lunch. eons for Half-Starved Little Ones. ‘ epee ‘The existence of conditions in this city striking at the heart of the social fabric through girl pupils in the public schools has moved the Grand Jury to action, The members of that body have called upon the Gerry society for ald in investigating the stories which have been related by many children, the while they admit that It seems In- | comprehensible that such things as these children tell can possibly be. The charges of these little girls are directed chiefly against certain men in stores in the vicinity of the schools who cater exclusively to the patronage of pupils, Prosecutions undoubtedly will be predicated on some of the tes: timony already in the hands of the Dis- trict-Attorney, and if convictions result not a few storekeepers may be sent to prizon for the offenses of which they are ald to be guilty, VINCENT ASTOR BETTER, Young Son of John Jacob So Much Improved that Mother Will Go to Paris, LONDON, March 27.—Vinoent, the son of Col.
