The Germans who made of all fires in an endeavor to determine whether they arc of in cendiary origin. Particular attention Is to be paid: In elch case as to the amount of insurance carried on the various buildings burned as it is the belief that 60 per cent of the fires are of incendiary origin and are for the- purpose of collecting insurance. . How the practice of over insurance Is ''carried on was illustrated by As sistant Chief Laudenklos who served a fire marshal -during the absence oi Marshal -'Stevens in the east. Owner Gets Xnaurance. "The owner of a home in South Portland," said the chief, "sought in surance and an agent visited ths-residence. Only a one year policy was " wanted. The furniture in the house was worth about $100 and the other ' furnishings were very cheap. In one . roqm, however, was a cheaply con structed sideboard containing? cxpen- - sive silverware. ."The owner got the "policy for more than $1000 and shortly afterward the place burned down.' Investigation showed the silverware to be missing and later it was discovered that it hod been borrowed to fool tha "insurance agent; The fire, of course, had been set." - . . v Marshal Stevens also explained that many of the fires Were set an;l-urged the captains and lieutenants to. thor oughly inspect the premises as fco&n as the building could be -entered. ...
