BUNGLED JOB LEADS TO ABREST Twenty-Five Per Cent of Fires Traced to Gangr Insoraace Com panies Loae Million Fat Commissions Paid. for fifteen years a gigantic firebug trust of national proportions has reaped a golden harveot by scientific Inc-ndlar. Ism In the United States. This criminal ectopus stretched flaming tentacles into every stats ana jmo aimoei nvr v.uj of tbs Union. In wholesale arson schemes It destroyed thousands of stores and vast stocks of merchandise and made heavy Inroads upon Insurance companies which mads good the losses. A bungled Job In Chicago laid bare to the fire and po.lce authorities the Inner workings and ramifications of this gi gantic criminal combine. Chicago proved to bs the headquarters for the desperate Incendiaries. The chltfs of the orsanl lxstlon ware arrested. Their lieutenants fled. The firebug trust In Chicago was stamped out. The Chicago disclosures started a campaign agalnat the national Incendiary organisation, the doom of which now seems to bs sealed. Here are soms smaslng figures show Ing the enormous destruction worked by the trust in Cliloago alone during tUs last ten years: v It has caused 25 per cent of the tires of Chicago. It has destroyed mors than "W build-in.. It has cost .he Insurance companies $20,000,000. It has reaped a yearly profit of AAA It has cost Chicago $2,000,000 a year, I16C.668.IS7 a month, 15.555.65 a day, 1524 an hour, $3.85 a minute and 6 cents a second. The Dreyfus fire of June 3 last proved the undoing of the arson conspirators. It rssultsd In ths arrsst of Leopold Drey fus. He mads a full confession of the Incendiary plot by which his store was burned and after his confession commit ted suicide. Confession Revealed. Dreyfus' confession revealed the work ings of a stupendous combination. At the head of ths trust was David Kor shak, a saloonkeeper, who apparently had no other object In life than serving satisfying drinks to his many customers. His right-hand man wos Abe Katner. Associated with them were dishonest merchants who furnished fictitious bills of sale, insurance adjusters who had an Interest In the profits and a working foroe of about twenty. There wss little danger of exposure from the Insido, as Korshak chose men whose criminal rec oris he knew, and often men whose liberty lay in his discretion to turn them over to the authorities. The baring of the Inner workings of ths firebugs dissolved ths trust. Korshak fled the oountry. Hs was arr ated In Vancouver. He waived extradition and has been returned to the scene of his rimes. Abe Hatner was arrested snd released on ball, which hs forfeited. He is still a fugitive from Justice. Ths arson trust reached a high stags of perfection before Its downfall. It was run on strlotly business principles and on ths most up-to-date msthods. Ths first work was done by a prospector, who spent his entire time looking up new cuatomors. The men hs was after were those who needed money end he made It his business to find out when they got Into financial difficulties. When he located a man whose business was Door and whose creditors were pressing, hs turned him over to the solicitor. And In this ags, when scientific salesmanship has been rafced to an art, the solicitor's ability to interest bis customer and sell him ths services of a firebug deserve honorable mention. He circularized pros pectlve buyers of his labars with alluring letters. lie called on them. He tee phoned them. He used the right method at exaotly the right moment He stuck to the job In hand with a tenacity that would have made him rich In legitimate lines. Ths victim almost Invariably suc cumbed. He saw In the firebug's propo sition his last chance of saving himself from financial ruin. Than a contract was signed and the cash payment made. The firebug took hie money and written agreement to headquarters. A few days luter there was a mysterious fire. The Insurance company paid total loss claim and the Insured and the firebugs split the proceeds. Roped la. The Dreyfus case, which rssultsd dis astrously for Dreyfue and marked ths downfall of the arson trust, was worked on the usual scientific, psychological msthod which heretofore had proved Infallible. L. Dreyfus & Co., had a whole- sale clothing store on the fourth floor of a building at 232 South Market street. ine prospector picked them out as a possibility. There are several vsrslons as to why the Dreyfus concern was chosen. One Is that Dreyfus had at one time been a gangster himself. An other la that he had been a eustomsr before and a satisfied one at that Whether or not this Is true, five months before that time another store of hi had been destroyed and he collected the full amount of the Insurance, 115,000. At any rate, the prospector believed the time wss rips for a business connec tion to be eetabllshed with the clothing firm. Dreyfus A Co. were liberal buy ers and apparently had plenty of cus tomers, but It was gosslpsd about that many of the bill of sals were fictitious and that the amount of goods the whole salere stored In their place of business far exceeded all probabls sales. The prospector started a private investiga tion. He went to Pun aad Bradatreet and found out that the firm owed 133. 000. Then an expert, posing as a re- taller, visited the store aad brought back the news that the goods on hand were probably worth 120,000. A little further research revealed that $.0)0 of Insurance was carried. Adding to this information the stealthily acquired knowledge that L. Dreyfus Co. were slow pay and creditors were preening the prospector believed that he waa on the right track and turned the Job over to the solicitor. Working; the Lav. Armed with Insurance forms and th line of talk that goes with them, th solicitor called on Leopold Dreyfus aud tried to Interest htm In an additional 110,000 fire Insurance policy. Dreyfus de clined, stating he was alrsady carrying 2S,000, which was all the tnsurancs hs could sfford. The solloitor argued his case persuasively and ended by saying: "Why get only 128,000 for a total loss by flrer It was ordinary talk, but Drsyfus un derstood. He plainly asked the solicitor what be wsntsd, and tbs solicitor plaln.y told him. Hs mads him a straight busl ness-llks proposition. If Dreyfus burned out he would get a,oou. Hs could then compromise with his creditors and keep the greater part of the money. It would leave htm free to start over again and relieve blm of all ths annoyance and har sssing complications which were inevi table In hi prevent financial condition. "Do you expect me to burn down my store T" asked Dreyfus, angrily. "No," replied the calm solicitor. '1 will taks all ths rssponalblllty and do the job myself. It will cost you $8,000." The solicitor took ths wisest oourss and left ths store abruptly. He immediately went to Korshak and reported the con versation. Both knew in spite of the bluff they hsd made good progress. Dreyfus was tbsn subjected to ths follow-up system. Confidential letters, writ ten by the bead of the gang, were mailed to blm from time to time. Svery move I.annold rjrevfua made WSS WStchsd and his creditors wsre undsr as strict scrutiny. The financial troubles of ths firm in creased. At ths psychological moment the solicitor tslephoned to Dreyfus snd mad sn appolntmsnt to meet him at his office. The conversation waa brief and to the point. Tha aollcltor offered to burn every thing in the place-no salvage tor u.wu The terms wars a cash paymsnt of M0, balance of 11,700 to bs paid when ths In surance was collected. Ths solicitor siso aaksd for a key to the tor door. Drey fus was told hs could go out or tns city or stay in It it made no difference. Th terms were for prompt accept, anc and Dreyfu assented without de lay. Th arson contract, which rsally was an asslgnmsnt of 11.700 or tbs In nranra in eKorshsk. was signed. Drey fue gave Wronskl $300 aad a key to ths door. Than Korshak took up the work. Hs wsnt to a placa on Hslsted street, where he bad been a eustomsr for many ysars, m huv alx five sallon alaas bottles of gasoline. He was unable to get the bot tles and so took stone Jugs. He naa used both on previous Jubs, but preferred th bottle. Ths substitution In this ess nrnhahlv cauaed his downfall. The set- tin' nf ths firs was doubtless delayed by the hravler receptacle, and pieces of th jug wre found after th fir. On June 1 th employe left early, as Saturday was a 'half holiday, Leopold Dryfua had gona to Oray's Inks for a few days, but his brothsr worksd In th tor all th morning. After th store wss closed Korshsk imlit.it himself with ths Drivste kev. He opened the shipping case which held the gaaolln and starting at on snd of th hop poured ths oil In a stream the whole length of th floor. Then he dls trihiit.il ths cartlally emitted cans where th biggest plies of clothing wsre located.
