$35,000 DAMAGE CAUSED BY FIRE IN WAREHOUSE Firemen Battle Stubborn Blaze at People’s Outfitting Cos. Flames that broke out early today In a warehouse of the Peoples Outfitting Company at 417-19 South Illinois street, destroyed the third floor of the brick building and hundreds of pieces of furniture, the total damage estimated at $35,000. Firemen were blocked in theft efforts to reach the flames by heavy steel shutters, locked on the Inside. At one time firemen attempted to bring water lines up the stairway of the warehouse, but were forced to retreat, when flames became too menacing. Prevent Blaze Spread The two-alarm fire, said by fire officials to have been caused by spontaneous combustion, broke out near the elevator shaft on the third floor, where a large amount of crated furniture was stored. Police said they had attempted to trace smoke in the vicinity, but were unsuccessful. Firemen were able to prevent spread of the blaze to other buildings, including a frame warehouse of the company a few feet distant. Although discovered after it was well under way, Are fighters were able to confine the blaze to the third floor, but furniture on the other two floors and basement suffered heavy water damage. Face Draft Hazard FinaUy able to open some of the building shutters, firemen faced a further hazard when back draft caused the flames to shoot out the openings. Fire Chief Harry Voshell took personal charge of the fire fighting, aided by several battalion chiefs. Radio Patrolmen Roy Pope and Harry O’Mara reported to fire officials that they had smelled smoke in the vicinity three hours before the blaze was discovered. The same structure was damaged by fire in 1908, when occupied by the Paper Stock company. Firemen then fought the flames an entire night.
