Deliberate--Coal Oil / % Used Preston, Aug. 80.--Fire which menaced the Sulphur Springs hotel yesterday morning and forced 15 | Buests to flee from their beds, was definitely proved today to be of incendiary origin, Both Deputy Fire Marshal Bur- nett and Fire Chief Spalding stated today that there was not a doubt that the fire had been deliberately set. A few minutes longer delay in giving the alarm, the chief said, and Preston would have been the scene of one of Ontario's worst hotel disasters.

Prompt action of the fire de- partment saved the building, but the flames had eaten their way through the partitions from the cellar where coal oil had been lib- erally sprinkled, the investigators claim. Chief Spading said that the construction of the building made it a very difficult blaze to fight. The loss has not heen definitely estimated, but will run into several thousand dollars, GENE TUNNEY HAS A CHAT WITH PRINCE AT ST, JAMES PALACE (By Canadian Press) London, Aug: 31--The Prince of Wales had a 15-minute chat with Gene Tunney at St. Jamres Palace today, the meeting between the two being purely informal.
