(Associated Press Photo) BLAZE DAMAGES OF HIAV The old G add Is and Dixon building at 134 North Riverside, now occupied by a second hand and repair shop owned by Paul Prink, was consider ably Mamaged by a fire which started about 7:4ft last night, apparently caused by some faulty electrical equipment. The fire department stated that a battery charger Is believed to have caused the conflagration. No estimate of the loss has been made, but due to the age of the building, It was not believed to be great. The first department succeeded. with the help of calm weather, in preventing the flames from spreading to the adjoining Natatorlum building. The G add Is and Dixon structure was one of the first erected In the city. A check-up by the city water de partment revealed that 46 residents failed to turn off running water when the fire alarm sounded, Robert A. Duff, superintendent, announced this morning. Failure to shut off water during a fire Is subject to a 10 fine, and those who have received previous warning and failed to oto-, serve It last night, will have their i water shut off until the fine Is paid, Duff stated.

Police called for further explana tlons of Poderjay's claim that he has not seen Miss Tufverson since shortly after their wedding. They expressed ucuei sue was ucua. (Authorities In England said the finding of a woman's torso and legs In a trunk there apparently had no connection with Miss Tufverson' dis appearance, although they were in vestigating the possibility.) Two books belonging to the New York and. Detroit woman were found In the apartment. One was on the art of love, the other on birth con trol. When first detained Poderjay said he and Miss Tufverson parted when she Insisted that she accompany him to England as a bride, although he told her he had a wife there. This waa Susanna Ferran, the woman he has been living with here, and who was arrested when the prop erty was found.
