Tin which yesterday afuimoon
tburned portion of the warehouse of

'pany on South Front street at 13th
street and gutted the attic and rear
end of the Mitchell D. Bchulta rcsl-
dence at 530 South central avenue.
caused damage amounting to leas
than aaooo, It was estimated today.
R.. U. Boutelle, manager of the
canning concern, slated that loss to
the warehouse would be between
ttOO and S1000. The damage to the
-residence would amount to about
4600. it was stated. A garage In the
rear of the admits house was level
ed, as . was a garage belonging to
Elmer Ryan, located behind me
Ryan home at 629 South Central ave
nue. . It was in a woodshed back of the
Bcbults residence that the fire origi
nated, according to Chief Roy El
liott, who added that children play
ing there apparently started a small
Jlamt, which quickly set the entire
ahed afire, leaped across the alley
to the canning company warehouse,
and Ignited the Schult residence
and two garagea. The roof and side
walls of tbe cafeteria and women's
dressing room, on the second floor
ef the canning company, were blaz
ing when the fire department ar
rived, as were the roof and rear In
terior of the Schulte residence.
'k,. Pumpers In Action.
With two pumper ending water
from five two and a half Inch hoses
Into the blazing warehouse and resi
dence, the fire was brought under
control In about 30 minutes. Chief
niloB directed the fight, which ran
Into considerable difficulties on the
Bchulta home due to tho construc
tion of the house. Many volunteers
helped remove furniture from the
Bouaa, and little furniture loss was
offered.
f The two garages were beyond sav
ing .when the fire department ar
rived, so quickly did the flames
spread, and the house and warehouse
fire was well under way, Hose lines
were laid In an amazingly short time,
and firemen efficiently doused the
blazes with a minimum of property
.toes. A chemical crew call waa sound
ed at 9:37 and a general alarm at
8:3S. The fire was completely out
at 4:46.
The woodshed fire was discovered
by A. W. Lynch, canning company
employe, who was making boxes In
the warehouse. He ran to the offlco
and told Boutelle, who Immediately
turned In the alarm. On returning
to tbe warehouse, Lynch discovered
that the flames had spresd to walls
and roof of the warehouse.
Pears Not Damaged.
Little damage was done the In
terior of the warehouse, with the
' exception of a few jlug cratce that
were ruined. The manager said to
day that 600 cases of pears, which
were stacked, ready for shipment to
England, were undamaged. Firemen
threw waterproof covering over all
furniture and fixtures in the of
fices, thereby saving them from
water damage.
Telephone poles In the alley be
tween the wsrehouae and residence
burned considerably. Paciflo Tele
phone and Telegraph company was
today erecting a pole In place of
one that waa burned. .
Firemen were handicapped In their
-work by the huge crowd that sur
rounded the burning buildings. Chief
Kltott said today that boys on
bicycles especially were troublesome
In addition to being in great danger
from the live wires that were hang
ing close to the ground. He warned
all persons to stay further back at
fires In the future.
Residents in tbe neighborhood
saved other possible blazes by dous
ing their house roofs with water
from garden hoeea.

ful In Producing Signa
tures Of Famed Persons,
PITTSBURGH (UP) Edwin Row
lands' admiration for Lily Pons, op
era star, has started nlm on the way
to fame If not 'fortune as , tbe
world's premier autogrsph collector.
Xt was on a cold winter night,
February t, 1S36, that Rowlands, a
bank clerk, got his first autograph,
that of Miss Pons, 8lnce. that time.
he has obtained the signatures of
mors than 650 celebrltlea.
Miss Pons was In Pittsburgh for
a concert. Rowlands was puzzled over
how to .meet her. He decided that
an autograph collector would have
as good a ensnce aa any. and went
to work Immediately.. .
On the way home from work,-Rowlands
bought an Impressive . auto
graph book. He pasted a good like
ness of the opera star on the first
page and went to the concert house.
Ho slipped Into her dressing room
while Miss Pons was on the stage.
There was a burst of applause, ' then
she appeared In the doorway, gazing
wide-eyed at her unexpected visitor.
Feared Possible Arrest .
"For the first time that evening,
I was scared," said Rowlands, who
towers e feet 3l and weighs 190
pounds. "I began to wonder if she
would have me arrested. I hastily
Introduced myself, explained what I
wanted, and apologized for being in
her dressing room.
"She emllcd then, and told me to
bring the book over to her. When I
opened the book she gave a cry of
delight when she saw her picture
pasted on the page."
Rowlands' ambition Is to some dsy
devote his entire time to collecting
signatures of famous personsges. He
has met personally every celebrity
whose name is in one of bis three
volumes.
Rowlands looks with acorn upon
the so-called profeselonal autograph
collector who buya signatures from
persons who actually obtained them
and then re-sell for a profit. He has
traveled 10.000 miles on trips to Hol
lywood, Los Angeles. Pe'jm Springs,
r., Cleveland and Washington to
get hla autosraDhs first-hand.
The secret of Rowlands' success Is
tne fact that he first pastes a good
picture of his prospect in bis book
before starting out.
Holds 110,000 Insurance
Rowlands has Insured his three
volumes of autographs for 110.000.
He pays a premium of (28.30 a year.
The values of his many signatures
vary. Andrew W. Mellon, the finan
cier, for example, Is worth I0 on
the market; movie stars are worth
anything from a dime to a quarter.
