Guests Leap From Flames | In Scanty Attire, Hotel Fleetwood Destroyed

early morning fire started HINTS OF INCENDIARY WORKCIRCULATED Fire broke out in the vicinity of Wesley avenue end Sixth street, early Monday morning, which «lespite all efforts, completely destroyed the Fleetwood Hotel, the property of Paul Spieker. The origin of the confligralion is the subject of mud: speculation. Hints - of incendiarism are whispered about, '.hough the generally accepted theory is, that it originated from the end of a lighted cigar or cigarette. Nee. about 8.30 A. M. Mrs. Spieker. who with her husband occupied, a loom in the front part of the hot;?, was awakened by the reflection of a bright light playing upon the window. The firet impression was that the glare came froir across the street. Rising to investigate, however, .die : .Uncovered the front part of the hotel wax in flame-. A fire alarm was immediately sect out. While waiting the arrival of the firemen, Mr. and Mr*. Spieker roused household. A few garments were S hurriedly picked up. and in scanty at- / tire some rushed out through the front iloor, some leaped through' the windows on the first floor, while the servants escapes! out through the rear , entrance, b all. including the family, there were seventeen persons in- the hotel at the time. (l Tlie Fleetwood Hotel was Hearing .1 completion for the season. The estab- , 1 lishmet.t had been repainted and deeorated tastefully, and many convenience* for the comfort .'of the an- . ticipated guests added; f \ | ' The appointments we re all of first 1 class quality, and much of the rami- . tare rare and expensive. Accommodation waa being made for 1 "O or more guests. The toUl lo-» has not been made ' . known definitely, widely differlhg es- I ti mates being given, ratipnig from * 10.000 to a total of 819,805: t The guests residing at the hotel 1 were all workmen jmd mechanics em- < ployed in the dty, mainly in the re- ' construction being carried on at thej< Boardwalk. It was. fortunate that quite a num- t ber more of the latter, making their * reriihPce at the hotel, were away over s the Sunday visiting their homes and . families. Fire Chief Samuel Conover stated 1 1 it was. most fortunate there waa no!' wind blowing at the time. Had there been a nor'eastern, no person eould > tell what would have been the extent 1 of the damage, the hotel being of frame construction and situated in a I very congested area. ( Mr. Spieker is reported to have said that while the theory of a lighted > cigar or rigs ret tb was entertained, 1 there wis absolutely .nothing ppsi- 1 tively known concerning the origin of the fire. As far as he could tell the J fire might have been of incendiary I origin. A thorough investigation! would be made. :
