INCENDIARY FIRES ROOMING HOUSE POLICE SEEKING AMATEUR FIREBUG Coal Oil Poured Into Apertures In the Wall and Wood Walls Ig ' nlted— Guests Have Nar. row Escapes Police detectives are working on ft case of supposed Incendiarism In a boarding and rooming house at 819 North Broadway, which resulted In a disastrous fire early yesterday morn- Ing. j The rooming house Is the Sunnyslde and was owned by R. B. Young. S. B. Tenney was the tenant but at the time of the fire the house was under 'the charge of his son, Frank Tenney. The fire was discovered shortly before daylight on the first floor of the build ing. An alarm was turned In and ow ing to the prompt response of the fire department, the flames were confined to the rooms on the lower floor. The fire wns supposed to have, origi nated In room number 6 on the north side of the lower hall. The flames spread from this room across the stair way and lodgers on the upper floor were carried from their rooms to safety by firemen who literally dashed through the. wall of flame. ■ Yesterday morning an exnmlnatlon was made of the house by Insurance adjusters' find It was found that the entire lower floor on the north side of the building had been saturated with coal oil. Who the perpetrator of the deed \vns or what was his purpose is the question asked by the police. The man was evidently an amateur, for his work was of such a flagrant character as to attract Immediate notice. In the four rooms on the north side of the lower floor, rooms 6, 8, 10 nnd 12, holes hnd been chopped in the walls near the floor and the lathes . broken out. Coal oil had then been poured Into the apertures and fired. Coal oil was found on the floors, on the walls, on the carpets and saturating the bed ding and furniture. A five gallon oil can, completely empty, is Hupposed to have furnished the oil. It was found under a bed in one of the rooms. The walls and furniture In rooms 6, 10 and 12 were badly burned but in room 8 the man had failed to set fire lo the t woodwork, after saturating H with' oil. An aperture in the side of the wall with a bundle of woman's lingerie saturated with oil near It, is supposed to have been the last work of the Intruder. The landlord of the house asserted yeßterday that the rooms had been rented at a late hour, Wednesday night, to transients. The damage to the property was about $1000 and a policy of $1500 was held on the furniture. " BELASCO RECORDS ARE : BROKEN BY "PARSIFAL" .Women Throng Playhouse at Matinee Performance of Great Drama The value of newspaper advertising ■was capitally proved yesterday morn ing, when the Belasco theater made the first announcement that owing to the enormous succpbs of the dramatic ver sion of "Parsifal" It had been decided to continue It for another week, com mencing next Monday night. .The Belasco people avoided all chan nels of publicity save the columns of the local papers. Advertisements of unusual size were issued and a" new record was made for Los Angeles theatrical advertising. When the box office of the. Belasco wub opened for business In the morn- Ing fully two hundred people were In line, and the greater portion were after Beats' for the second week of "Parsifal." During the day the demands for seats for the next week at the Belasco ex ceeded any previous day since the sale of. seats for yarslfai" wns begun. 3 Nearly every person who presented .himself in front of the ticket window said: "I see by the papers this morn ing that you are going to play 'Parsi fal' for another week." ,The matinee of "Parsiful" tomorrow is entirely sold out, as is the house for tonight, but according to the big dis play advertisement of the Belusco In The Herald of this morning, there are Plenty, of good seats for next week's presentations of this wonderful offer ing of a stock company. ■ At the mutlnee yesterday the crush of women whs so great that several fainted in the effort to pass the doors of the playhouse. "Parsifal" appeals with peculiar force to women and while there were scurc-ely a score of men in the audience yesterday afternoon there were over 1580 women. The pre vious record at the Belamo was held by "Old Heidelberg," but yesterday's matinee of "Parßlfal" established a new high water financial mark. The second week of "Parsifal" will af ford people who have been disappointed in j not being able to secure seats a i-hanco to witness what is unquestlon ' nbly the most pretentious production that has ever been given by a stock company, either In Los Angeles or any other city.
