ESTABLISHED 1873 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE [aan _ BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER i, 1925 PRICE FIVE CENTS NAVY PLANE AND CREW FOUND Inspectors Condemn Bi EQUIPMENT ANTIQUATED, EXPERT SAYS Rodgers Recommends Pur- chase of Four-way Com- bination Truck FIRE TRUCK OUT OF DATE Pays High Tribu’c to Chief Homan and Fire-fighting Force Bismarck fire - fighting equipment is antiquated, in- adequate, almost worthless to a city the size of the capital of North Dakota, Harry K. Rog- ers, field agent on the staff of the Western Actuarial Bureau, Chicago, told approximately 100 city property-owners at als; banquet last night at the close, of fire prevention observance day. Roge known a who is better “Smokey,” the fire clown, examined the municipal! © fire apparatus in connection with an inspection of city fire) hazards conducted by the North Dakota fire prevention association.

Onc, other longer ladder is unsafe and might bring injury or death’to firemen if used in any serious conflagration, Rogers declared. “This city’s fire equipment is a crying disgrace,” Rogers stated. almost worthless. How city firemen can be expected to be of any service in combating, ordinary fires common in a place of this size with such poor apparatus is beyond understanding.” Rogers paid high tribute to the efficient organization of the city tire force and to the ability and direc- tive skill of Fire Chief Herry Ho- man, Greater Loss “A fire, once it gets started, can get away from the best fire force in the world.” Rogers declared. “With such hopelessly inadequate equipment as you have in Bismarck, it is a miracle that fire losses have not been far greater than they have.” Rogers recommended that the city commission purchase a four-way combination service truck, capable of pumping 450 gallons of water a min- ute, equipped with a 40-gallon chem- ical pump, 2,000 feet of hose, and 212 feet of ladder. “This additional equipment will just bring the city’s fire apparatus up to standard,” he declared. Compared with fire equipment in the average city of similar size, Bis- marck’s fire apparatus is “next to nothing,” he told The Tribune. “The city would be almost as well protected, I think, if it had no fire apparatus,” he asserted. “If, after the attention of the commission has been called to woeful inadequacy of the city fire apparatus, immediate steps are not taken to buy new and modern equip- ment, it will be an act of criminal negligence,” Rogers declared when interviewed. Only by the “grace of God” has Bismarck been spared the horrors of a disastrous fire in its downtown district before which the present city fire apparatus would be “piti- mully helpless,” he declared. A squad of 25 inspectors yester- day completed a survey of 112 prop- erties in the city, including hotels, schools, churches, hospitals, and bus- iness places. Fire hazards of one kind or: an- other were found on 104 premises or a total of 92.8 per cent. Electric wiring was found to be the most common fire hazard and there were 138 recommendations on this item. Other recommendations included, rubbish, 59; miscellaneous. Inspectors found’ serious fire hazards in the high school, William Moore school, and the parochial sghool, efective wiring was found at the high school and the in8pection report recommended that a competent elec- trician go over the entire wiring system. Loose coils and improperly sup- a ted wiring were named as chief be ards in high school wiring sys- m. The report recommended that rub- bish in the gymnasium be cleaned up and that fire exits be made more accessible to the gymnasium. At the William .Moore school, one exit leading onto a fire escape was found to be a window in front of which is a radiator. The report re- commended that the radiator be re- moved and that a door be built in place of the window exit. At the parochial school where, inspectors were informed, 34 children sleep on the third floor, the ‘fire (Continued on page three) city the “It is antiquated and‘ Rodgers Is New Aviation Chief}!

FRENCH ROUT RIFF ARMIES Drive Moorish Forces Back in Offensive Ouzzan, French Morocco, Sept, 11.—(P)—The_ Ameri aviators of the Sherifian Escadrille, in their bombardment of Sheshuan, Riffian stronghold, are reliably reported to have killed more than 100 warriors. Their bombs also greatly damaged the Riffian mil- itary establishment and disorgan- ized the troops concentrated there. The much-heralded drive of the French against the rebellious Moroc- can tribesmen was preceded by an intensive artillery preparation on a 45-mile front in the central section of the battle line. Offensive movements jo are be- ing undertaken by the French at other points, but they are on a small- er scale than the operation in the valley of the River Ourgha. The Riffians on the Ourgha Valley front made aware by the artillery Preparation of the approach of the big French drive, are pushing up re- inforcements to the center of the line. The leaders of the Moors ap- pear to be alarmed, according to statements made in French military quarters here. Their reinforcements are said to include many regulars which always have been held reserve for movements of urgent necessity. The tribesmen continue active on the western section of the front. They are said to have made another attack on Issoual which was repelled by the Garrison aided by American fliers and oter air squadrons. Fez, Morocco, Sept. 1.—(4)—The French troops began their northward push from the Ouergha river against the Riffian tribesmen today, and an official communique claims satisfac- tory progress. The communique says, “We started our attacks today, the two wings north of the Ouergha en- veloping Teroual, (near Ouezzan, in the west), and Tafrant, (to the east). “These ‘attacks are developing sat- isfactorily.’ SNAKE STOPS TRAFFIC Keston, Eng.—Shooting out its tongue, and wriggling about in the road a small viper held up all traffic for an hour here.
