Although the cause of the fire

mystery, uuthorltles advanced three. .
theories. Home one, It was thought
might have been burning rubbish
In the rurnnce, ten feet from thu
vault containing tho highly intlam
uiahlo films and a spark might
have been blown through the fur
nace door.
The second theory . I that a
stunmfttter : was working In thai

counted for, the door of the vault
being open. Had the workman
been using a torch the film would
easily have cu light fire. It was
said the stenmtitter was carried

The most frequently advanced
Idea Is that crossed wires on tho
