The heaviest losers were Samuel Rosenblatt si Co.. clothiers occupying- the corner location; C A. Alisky. of Sacramento, owner of the building: the Skldmore Drug Company, the Portland Photo Supply Company and Davles Studio. At nrst of apparent Insignificance, the Dlsxe gradually grew Into a conflagra tion that necessitated turning In four alarms, bringing to the scene all the available Ore apparatua on the West Side and several companies from across the river. Five persons were asleep In the build ing when the Ore broke out. but all scaped. Dr. William Elsen. whose bedroom adjoined his laboratory, was overcome by the smoke and waa car ried to safety by Police Sergeant Oelsner and Fireman Arthur Luff, of truck No. X. Sophia B. Setp. a spir itualist, was awakened by smoke and was nearly overcome. With a wet towel flung over her face, she waa led from th building. Bad vYfarlaar " Cigarette Blessed. Defective wiring and a smouldering cigarette stub both are blamed for. the ra. W. F. Simpson, a special watch man, who discovered the volumes of smoke and a red flame creeping op the side of the wall on Morrison street, near an electric light switch, turned In the alarm. The basement below the clothing tore, from which smoke first waa seen Issuing, had no connection with the store. No clothing stock was stored there, the space being occupied by a pool ha 1L. The flames ate their way about the rear of the building; for many minutes before breaking Into the clothing store. Although a heavy loser from amok and water, the Rosenblatt Company waa not as badly fire damaged as other Arms tn the building. The Skldmore Drug Company was swept by flames and suffered a heavy loss. Chemicals and Inflammable films In the Portland Photo Supply House made the tire particularly hot here and not a shred of stock wss left. Davles Studio, where were valuable negatives that can never be replaced as this Is one of the oldest photographic studios on the Pacific Coast, waa ir reparably ruined by the Are. Manager Clarence Defrlea estimated that more than 700.000 negatives were destroyed. The material loss was $10,000. covered by Insurance, but the loss of negatives that can never be duplicated cannot be estimated In dollars and cents. The Alisky building still stands and v-nm h street innMri not hadlv dam- axed. . It Is a mere shell, with outside walls standing hut the inside gutted completely. According to John H. Burgard. agent for the Wise Realty Company, of New York. lessees of the building, the $(0,000 loss represents 70 per .cent of the value of the building. This Is covered by Insurance. Of the total losses. 10 per cent are covered by Insurance. The firms be lieved to be fully covered by policies sre the Samuel Rosenblatt sV Co, Davles Studio. SI Rich. Alisky Bar. Swetland's. Margulls bar. White Lunch and United Cigar Company. Insurance on the Skld more Drug Company Is $18,000: on the shop of T. Grossman, jeweler. $1000. and on the Portland Photo Supply Company, about $3.0J. Kasloaiasi Theory la Shattered. A theory that the fire started by an explosion In the laboratory of the orugstore was shattered by assertions of early witnesses. According to the night watchman, the first explosion wss probably 10 or It minutes after he had nrst noticed the fire. A can of ether In the drugstore Is thought to bits exploded, and the shock broke many windows In the building, afford ing greater draft for the sweeping flamxc. r?otographlc chemicals in the rear of the photo supply house next added to the uproar, the explosions being accompanied by a large burst of Xlsavc Gottlieb Kuden. an old violin-maker on the third floor of the building, sus tained a loss of $:S00 with no In arance. He mourned the loss of a Granting a valuable old Italian violin, dated 1 and valued at $1500. FIREBOAT ALSO OX HAXD Apparatus of City Well Represented, Responding to Fonr Alarms.
