New York sent two of its fire
boats across the Hudson to aid.
There were indications that
the fire was of Incendiary origin.
Witnesses said they saw flumes
burst forth at a half dozen
points simultaneously.
Agents of the federal bureau
of investigation moved through
the fire area examining wreck
age and questioning witnesses.
The FBI at Washington had
warned authorities in major
centers of defense activity to be
on the alert for sabotage during
, the extended Memorial day
holiday.
The fire started and spread
through areas where barge quan-
titles of foodstuffs and supplies
jfor Britain were awaiting ship
ment. The abattoir was filled
with cattle for England, and the
'elevators held thousands of tons
lot grain earmarked for that
.warring nation. The barges de
stroyed at their slips had aboard
40 carloads of f unshed rubber

; warehouses held oil and rubber,
