The joy riders abandoned the ear nfter they had derailed it at Kniglin avenue ferry. Two fires were discovered in Camden today within fifteen minutes of each other, destroying thousands of dollnrs worth of property and causing consider able excitement among residents of the thickly populated sections in which they occurred. The first was n three-alarm blaze in n leather goods plant at the bead of Second street, near the river front, and the other in a carbarn at Twelfth street nnd Newton acuuc, where twenty-one trolleys were destroyed. The police nrc investigating both fires in an attempt to determine their origin. While they refrain from stating Mint the fires were incendiary, the fact that the flames spread so rapidly in both instances prompts them to term both blazes "suspicious." Roth of the build ings were damaged by other fires of undetermined origin within the last two years. No estimate has been mnde of the property damage nt the leather plant, operated by the .Tnhn It. Hans Com pany, into which is merged the Peer less Kid Company, the Ruby Kid Com pany nnd the Jersey Leather Company. Iss Kst!niatd at $200,000 At the car barn blaze the damage to taled $200,000; The first tire vtas discovered shortly after 1 :.10 o'clock in a smnll, galvanized iron building in the center of a group of buildings operated by the leather concern. The blaze w.as burniug fiercely before it was discovered by the watchman. The flames leaped so high in the air that the entire city was alarmed. As scon ns the police and firemen ar rived, residents of the thirty-five houses on Sigel street, in front of the blazing building, were ordered from their homes. Neighbors on the opposite side of Sigel street became alarmed and moved out. The small street was soon filled with men, women and children, many of them still iu their night clothes. Many of the families moved some of their household belongings to the street. The fire at the leather plant two years ago last March damaged $390,000 worth of property. Within fifteen minutes after the fire men had been summoned to the leather plant, an alarm was turned ia from the carbarn. Only one engine company from Kivst Camden wns iu the center of the city at the time, having moved after the three alarms were sounded to Fifth and Arch streets. Send for More Help This company went to the carbarn. and a summons wns immediately sent to the leather plant for more firemen. Ry that time, the blaze on the river front wns under control, and several of the engine companies left the ticinity for the second lire. The carbarn is nKo situated in n thickly populated sectiov. Residents of the immediate icinity moved from their homes and formed a large crowd that grew rapidly ns icsidents from all sections of the-city rushed to the fire. The car barn is a two-story brick structure. The top is divided into of fices and an auditorium for the em ployes of the company. The first floor is divided into four sections bv brick walls. In these sections cars arc stored. The fire started in a car in one of the four sections. It -was djscored by Herbert. Hemingway, who was placing advertising placards iu the trolleys. A watchman was notified, and he turned In the alarm. In tho few minutes he took to do this the flames had spread throughout one end of the section, which was a mass of flames. Joseph Chambers, a switchman, and another emplpye of the place, succeeded In getting twelve of the tliiity cars in that section to the street. The others were destrojed. Frank Goodwin, n car inspector, who was working in n pit under one of the cars when tlje fire started, wns ncaily suffocated by smoko before he suc ceeded in making his way to the street. Ry 4 o'clock the blaze was under control. It wns confined to the. one section. In nil there were 225 cars in (lie barn. William Graham, superintendent of the Camden division of tho Public Service Railways Company, prevented any delay in the trolley service this morning by having old summer cars operated on these lines.

Captain Jenkins paid a high tribute to the gallant work of the Cnnndiaii army during tho war and pointed out Mint it was not this country that won the war, or Canada, or any of the allied armies alone, but the combined efforts of them nil. The sight of some few Americans going around with but tons rending "We won tho war" prompted him to make this statement, be said.

The blame belongs to those who have set out deliberately to wring excessive profits from the earning s of their fellow men.
