Rome, Jan. 2.
Investigation into the causes of the fire that caused considerable damage in the Apostolic Chancellery of the Vatican yesterday, showed today that ne short circuit could have set off the blaze:
Members of the board of inquiry said the fire must have been due to negligence or perhaps even to arson.
overal men who have been working on restoration projects in the Chan-collery have been asked to hold themselves at the disposal of the auth-critics for an inquiry.—Havas.
