The feature of the fire was the im- mense amount of thick smoke that arose from the blaze and, borne on a brisk per west side and as far east as tac | lower end of Central Park, This smoke, | conveying the idea of an immense con- flagation, served to draw so great a crowd that the reserves from the West Forty-neventh and West Sixty-elghth street stations were kept busy holding the firelines, The barns had a frontage of 100 feet reet and ran back to Fifty-ffth street, where there was the same frontage. Tenement houses face the barns on both streets and the neigh- borhood is dotted with garages and stables, ; A bookkeeper in the office on the Fifty-sixth street side feeling undue heat at 3 o'clock went into the barns to investigate and found a brisk blaze underway in @ room given over to the storage of hay. As the bookkeeper opened the door the fire literally leaped at him and he fled for his life, ehouting an alarm, ‘The wind kept the blaze away) from the Fifty-fifth street side for a time and this circumstance enabled the hostlers and laborers to get the horses out. When the first engines arrived the neighborhood was burled under a black pall of smoke. A second alarm was turned in, and for a time It looked as though a third alarm puld be necessary, Sparks bombarded the tenements in West Fit ty-sixth street and the Inhabitants fled in panic, groping thelr way through the smoke and the tangle of fire ap- paratus and hose to the river.

AN “NSE JB" Thieves ‘Had Surprising Knowl- edge of Interior of Simons & Sons’ Pawnshop. DODGED ALARM WIRES, | |27 Known Safe Robberies in New York City Since First of Year. Because of the almost unbelievable knowledge of inside conditions demon- strated by the yeemen who some time Satumay night burrowed under one wall and out through another to the vault of Simons & Sons’ pawnshop at Herter and Eldridge atreets of $300,010 worth of diamonds, Deputy Commis- stoner Dougherty is inclined to the be- lief that the robery was an “inside job.” ‘The experts, who dodged all the hid- den alarm wires by cutting through the only two boards in the floor not wired and who attacked the side of the vault Instead of the top, reinforced by ratl- road iron, #howed auch complete fam'li- arity with the interior of the pawnshop an to exchate from consideration ‘n Deugherty’s mind the oréinary burglar. POLICE LOOK FOR VETERAN CROOK WITH LONG RECORD. It is whispered about the rooms of the Detective Bureau that only one man known to de atill living could ha planned and executed the robbery of the Simons’ vaults. That man, one of whose aliases is ‘“Desfy,” is as great an artist with burglars’ tools as was Whis! with the brush, head of what practi- cally amounted.at ‘one time to a cor- respondence school in safe cracking conducted through the blind channels of the underworld, and student of vault combinations and protected safes be- yond all others the most expert. “Deafy,” who ls now a cocaine fiend. but whose cunning can be bought even though his head is not as steady as it once was, came to town a short time Ago, #0 the deadened whisper came to Headquarters through stool - pigeon sources, He arrived just about the time the Varga Jewelry Company, at No. 34 Fifth avenue, gave up $20,000 worth of Keme to burglars. In that robbery « hole hardly large enough to admit the passage of or- dinary e twelve-year-old boy was cut through the ceiling of the jewelry store from the lof above. In the Simone rob- bery of Saturday night a hole only four- teen by weventeen inches was bitten through the vitrified brick and cement of the vault. JOB NOT BEGUN UNTIL AFTER 11.30 P, M. SATURDAY. Nobody, presumably, had “knowledqe of the wiring of the intertor of the 8i- mons pawnshop, the algnal traps set on window and door and even the trap door into the basement except the electriolans who did this work for the Holmes Electric Protective Company. Thla work was originally inatalied twenty years agd, and from time to time had been repaired and kept up to the minute of efficiency. The detectives are able to say den- nitely that the cracksmen did not begin work, on the vault at least, until after 11,30 o'clock on Saturday night. ‘They fix thie time because of the circim- stance that Samuel Baron, wtio has a store in the front basement under the pawnshop, and hie assistant, Louis Hurpell, worked behind the counter there until 11.40 o'clock. Nothing but the fiimsiest partition separated the Baron store from the rear basement into which the burglars tunnelled.
