•ssf PROBES ■pra wmw ;\t ii' iPH®? 'h- I’ 3Eg?y OTlrien today. of Dr. R. J. Kemper, 25If* Bijdway,' that he had been talk- 1 tq niscourteously over the telephone by someone at fire headquarters Thursday afternoon while flames swept the neighborhood of TwentyFifth St. and Broadway. The fire caused a loss estimated at more than $30,000. and, It is said, started on the roof of the apartment house at 2502-2508 Broadway, at 2 p. rn. Thursday. The apartment house, occupied by H. L. Peterson, R. L. Raynor, Orie Goldberg and Frank Ilse, was almost a total loss. Dr. mper’s home was destroyed, and i house north of his residence badly maged. Nine houses were damaged the flames. Drove Right Home Dr. Kemper told Chief O'Brien that when notified of the fire, he immediately drove home. He said when he reached the scene £ the fire, only one piece of apparatus was there. “I Immediately telephoned for more apparatus, and told the department of the extent of the fire," Dr. Kemper said. “I was told that there were firemen on the Job and they could take care of the fire. There seemed to be no spirit ol co-operation or courtesy at the do partment,” Kemper said. “I could not get any protection until it was too late.” v Chief Will Talk to Operator “I feel Dr. Kemper was unduly ex cited," declared Chief O’Brien. "He said, he telephoned fire headquarters between 2:10 p. m. and 2:15 p. m. and asked for more fire apparatus and fire men telling the operator that it was a big fire. He says the operator ahswered ‘that's what they all say,’ ail'd then told him the firemen would take care of the fire. It is just as easy to answer in the risrht way as the wrong way and it doesn't take any longer. The telephone operator will be asked to explain. /•Nevertheless, I believe Dr Kemper was honestly mistaken. F would have been impossible for him to have driven from his office to hi- home before more than one truck reached he Mne of the fire." Says Fire Had start. "I am informed the fire had a big start before the department was notified,” said Chief O’Brien. ,- Dr. Kemper said a fireman spoke in a discourteous way to him. It was not a fireman but a member of the salvage corps who sai l to him, 'You fellows will learn pretty soon to do away with shingle roofs,’ I have tol l this salvage corps man that the time to lecture people about shingle roofs was not when homes were being destroyed by fire.” A collection of rare stamps valued at $15,000 by Dr. Kemper was heavily damaged. Dr. Kemper said. He estimated his property and furnishing loss .at SB,OOO. p Other buildings damaged: Double house. 2514-2518 Broadway, owned by James Hendricks, occupi- -: by Thomas Hendricks and Ellsworth D.
