Two alarms were sent in for addi tional apparatus and every company in the city except the Royal and the C?mp Curtin was called by Fire Chief Kindler. A tin roof on the hotel which had been placed over a shingle roof made the blaze a stubborn one to fisrht hecauso of the dense smoke and heated metal. Hard Fire to Fight Much framework In the rear of the building furnished fuel for the flames and handicapped the firemen in their efforts to get into that section of the building. The first alarm was sent in shortly before 3 o'clock and "under control" was sounded at 7.02. Fire Chief Kind ler ond Deputy McFarland, with Mathew P. Frederick, Inspector of the Department of Labor and Industry, and Joseph P. Quinn, supervising in spector In the same department, went over the ruins this morning to deter mine the cause of the fire. It was learned that in the restaurant kitchen waste paper had been thrown in a corner carelessly and that the blaze started there. A meat block more than a foot thick was burned almost to a crisp by the flre, indicating that It had been burning for at least an hour before discovery. Mustufer. one of the Turks, who was in charge of the restaurant at the time, said that at 2.25 this morning he did not see any smoke or flre when he was sweeping the front of the place. Soon after, however, he discovered the flames, and rushed out calling "Fire!" This delay, according to Flre Chief 13,000 Eightx Cylinder Cadillacs '*f t Built in 1914-15 are today giv- | HMi ing better service than even the E gnew 1917 cars of most other makes. The improved Cadillac is two years better than the original eight-cylinder car—and will, of course, give the same unfailing service. Arrange By Phone Today for a ' V ... - Demonstration.

Moore, who leased the place from L . W. Kay, proprietor of the Metro politan Hotel, Fourth and Market streets, ar.d H. C. Claster, owners of the property. „„P? puty McFarland learned that 520,000 insurance is carried by Mr. Kay and Mr. Claster. which will cover their loss. Mr. Moore has Jtj.OOO in surance on the contents of the rooms and it is estimated that his loss is cov ered also. The Turks had no insur ance, but their loss will not exceed SSOO, it is believed. Water slightly damaged the big stock of Meyer Katz, 508-510 Market street, adjoining the restaurant and hotel. The firemen prevented the flames spreading to this building which is stocked with thousands of dollars' worth of clothing. Water Clauses Damage Most of the damage was done by water, as the firemen were compelled to put powerful streams on to reach the burning shingles under the tin roofing. Two firemen were cut by glass and were treated at the Harris burg Hospital. They were John Bretz aged 23, of the Friendship Firo Com pany, and George Ehler, of the Hope Fire Company. Chief of Police Wetzel said that he ordered a thorough investigation of the report that the hotel rooms were looted and that so far nothing of value has been reported stolen. The guests at the hotel were taken into nearby business places until they could obtain street clothing. Many people coming in to work at 7 o'clock were delayed, as all trolley service through the Market street sub way was shut off and the cars sent in over the State street bridge. Schedules were resumed later in the morning when the long lines of hose were re moved. Police had little trouble in keeping back the hundreds of people who had gathered in Market street at the subway. PITTSBURGH MGHT FARES RULED OUT Public Service Commission Holds That Company Did Not Advertise Them Properly The Public Serv \\\ J /y ice Commission, in jfiK/ an opinio# handed A down to-und charges when sanctioned bv the au thority which gives them life and In accordance with law and that there can be no doubt that openness, fair ness oX dealing with and confidence in that public which they serve are the best methods to be employed to mere certainly obtain that justice to which not only public service companies but the people are alike entitled." The commissioner holds that the schedules were not properly posted and that there were indications of aa evident intention to conceal them. Hardest Writes Opinions—Replying to a question raised by Auditor Gen eral Powell as to whether corporation! of the sort known as hydro-electric companies are liable for the tax on gross receipts. Deputy Attorney Gen eral TV. M. Hargest to-day gave it as his opinion that if such water or water power companies engage In electric lighting they may be taxable but, on the other hand, I am of the opinion and constrained to advise you that if water and water power com panies do not in fact engage in the business of electric lighting they are not taxable for the storage and trans portation of water and water power for commercial and manufacturing purposes, which water power they use to generate electric current which they sell to electric light companies. In another opinion Mr. Hargest de cided that the estate of J. K. Adams, a resident of New York State, who died Intestate leaving a widow and collateral heirs does not escheat to the State. Mr. Hargest says the ground on which the claim of escheat was filed, that the widow took the estate by descent; that therefore her heirs cannot Inherit it and that the heirs of J. K. Adams cannot Inherit because she held the estate in fee and they are not the heirs of the last ten ant, is "more ingenious than sound." Justice of Peace—Rav W. Cramer was this morning appointed by the Governor as Justice of the Peace for Buffalo township, Butler county. Demurrage Complaint Complaint was tiled with the Public Service Com mission by W. H.
