Smoke Damages ^ c Voinie Contents O Fire Wall Prcvenls Spread of Flames From Brown Block Basement. Tli« entire contents of the Vogue ready-to-wear store at Sixteenth and Douglas streets was damaged by heavy clouds of smoke from a blaze which started in the basement of the Drown block. A heavy brick fire wall prevented the flames from finding their way Into the Vogue shop. The fire started in a pile of smoldering ashes in t he basement of the Brown block, but was confined to the ash room because of tho heavy brick walls which separate that loom from the remainder of the establishment. This wall kept the flames from spreading and also elimi nated damage to the Vogue stock by water. Smoke, however, crept into the re tail store and damaged the entire stock. Tiie receiving and stock rooms of the store adjoin tlie Drown block basement and in these rooms Were stored tlie new spring slocks which had just been received follow ing purchases made in New York by Sam Newman, manager of the store. The loss Is fully covered by insur ance. The store will be closed temporarily while the full extent of the loss is determined.
