INCENDIARISM
AN ORGANISED SYSTEM.
BAND OF “FIREBUGS” ARRESTED.
Pros* Association—By Telegraph— Copyright CONSTANTINOPLE, July 15. (Received July 16, at 7.50 p.m.) A band of incendiaries has been arrested for burning heavily insured buildings in collusion with the owners. The head of the “firebugs” is alleged to be an Armenian, who is also president of the newly-formed Turco-Armenian prochement Association. The other leaders include Armenians and about a dozen Greeks. It is believed that the band consists of 100 members. The-Turkish newspapers are seeking to invest the band with political motive®, but the facts appear to show that it was engaged purely in the fraudulent business of insurance incendiarism on a largo scale.—A. and N.Z.
