This statement on the part of the inspector effectively "dis- poses of the impression which was given by witnesses who were called yesterday morning. Fire Marshals Bifaét: and Baker were informed that the wiring was in fair shape and had in no way contributed to the bla.:. Inspector Jackson made his inspection of the block yesterday noon, ' A Coal Heater Evidence given yesterday after- noon would tend to show that the fire, had not originated in the cellar of the store but in the back shop or office which is heated by a coal heater. This heater is thought to have become overheated, the intense heat causing the wooden partition to burn, E. R. Hewson, owner of the store, stated at the investigation that be- fore leaving for the night he coaled the stove but could'nat-recall whe- ther he had put on the dampers or not. As he was going to be out of town for the week-end he left in- structions for his clerk to tend the fire on Sunday. Mr. Hewson could not advance any theory as to the cause of the fire, and did not know whether it could have been caused by the :'ove or not, Three Fires . The witness admitted that he had suffered three previor: fire losses while conducting business in other towns. He claimed that the insur- ance company, under which his stock and fixtures was insured, had offer- ed to make an adjustment for his loss but he had not yet determined whether to. continue business in Whitby. The fire marshals advised him to receive the permission of the building inspector or fie chief be- fore .e-opening his store on account of the dangerous condition of the floor at the rear.- The investigation was adjourned indefinitely but the fire marshals will probably make public the results of their inquiry in the near future, TTT LL Wg Special Christmas Shoppi News FOR SATURDAY SELLING JAPANESE SILK COOLIE COATS A Gift that is beautiful use, lighted to receive.
