FIRE MARSHAL'S REPORT 13 400 Henrietta Apartments, Norfolk, Va. Six fires. Mrs. A. W. Hart ar- rested charged with starting the fires. At preliminary trial before police justice she was acquitted. 401 Outhouse of Sam Jones, Culpeper, Va., fire August 15, 1919. Care- lessness of servant. 402. Stables, etc., of Moses Stevens and Henry Smith, Alexandria, Va., August 30, 1919. Undoubtedly of incendiary origin, but unable to obtain any clue. 403 Dwelling and contents of Mrs. Mollie Queen, Fluvanna county, Septem- ber 15, 1919. Suspicious, but unable to obtain sufficient evidence to justify an arrest. This party had suspicious fire in North Carolina a short while before moving to Virginia. 404 Vacant stable, property of Mrs. J. D. Moore, Salem, Va., fired Septem- ber 16, 1919. It is the opinion that this stable was set on fire with tlie intent of burning adjoining property. Unable to obtain suf- ficient evidence to justify an arrest at present, and as the suspect has left for West Virginia, it was thought best to suspend the investigation, for the present at least. 405 Dwelling of W. E. Hutchinson, Alexandria county, September 18, 1919. Satisfied this was an incendiary fire, but unable to obtain any clue or motive. 40i; Stables of W. P. Hiden, Newport News, Va., .October 1, 1919. After a thorough investigation it was determined that this fire was of an accidental nature. 407 Dwelling of J. C. Core, Norfolk, Va., October 3, 1919. Unable to secure any evidence at this time. 40S Saw mill of J. L. Harrison, Wythe county, October 29, 1919. Sus- picious, but unable to secure any evidence against suspect. 409 Stable and contents, including live stock, property of Albert Williams, New Kent, Va., burned November 5, 1919. Unable to obtain any definite information as to the guilty party. 410 Dwelling of J. W. Harvey, Lynchburg, Va., burned November 18, 1919. Warrant issued for Clarence Clark, charged with the burning.

Unable to obtain any evidence leading to a clue. 413 Drug store of Charles Turner, Richmond, fire January 20, 1920. Rather a peculiar fire, but may have been caused by crossed wires. 414 James River Furniture Company, Richmond, Va., January 6, 1920. Sev- eral fires at this plant. One fire several hours before the one in- vestigated, but investigation showed there was no connection be- tween the two last fires.

Unable to determine at this time origin of fire. 416 Belmont School, Roanoke, Va., March 8, 1920.

Inspections Portsmouth—May, 1919. 305 inspections, 81 requests for corrections. Norfolk—July. 538 inspections, 212 requests for corrections. The foVoicing colleges and public institutions were inspected: Farmville State Normal School. Condition first class. Lynchburg, Va. Kandolph-Macon Female College. Condition A-l. West End College. Equipment could be improved. Arrangements are such that danger to human life in event of fire is practically nil. State Epileptic Colony, Amherst county. Chemical extinguishers not labeled.

These defects are out of keeping with the otherwise high stand- ard of this institution.

Randolph-Macon Academy. Conditions very satisfactory. Salem. Elizabeth College. One correction requested. Roanoke College. One correction requested. Roanoke. Virginia College.
