PAGE TWO THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | PREVENTION OF ' FIRES IS URGED | |W, 8, Chamber of Commerce Points Out Tremendous Waste, Loss of Life Washington, Oct. 12.—The present week which has been set aside by the President of the United States and Governor A. G. Sorlie of North Dakota as Fire Prevention Week presents an excellent opportunity for each eltizen to consider the matter of fire waste and to cooperate with the loca) authori 2s to make a re- duetion in fire losses possible during the coming year, officials of the Chamber of Com..erce of ‘he Uni- ted States said today. ‘To realize| fully the extent ci this national fire waste it should be considered from an individual and community stand- point, officials + “In 1926 the per capita fire loss was nearly $5. At this rate the average loss to al community would be approximately $125,000 for each 25,000 inha*‘tants. Such a sum of money would assist materially in inproving streets and sanitation facilities, building school houses and otherwise 1 ttering mu- nicipal conditions. When, on the oth- ec hand, property valued at that amount is dectroyed by fire, the community and the entire nation is a tremendous loser, for that much material wealth has been irreplace- ably destroyed. Human Lives Sacrificed “Even more important than the loss ta prop: is the sacrifice of human lives oned by fire. Most of those killed and injured are wom- en and children and they are usually sacrificed because of carelessness. From a humane standpoint there- , fore, if for no other, it is the duty of every sane person to exercise particular care to prevent fires. Furthermore, it is his duty to know what to do when he discovers that a fire has started. Many lives and much property may be saved annual- ly if the persons who first discover fires know how to call quickly for proper assistance. The first few minutes after the fire starts is the most important time in which to fight it. “Today, fire alarm boxes are placed at convenient locations, Al- though most of them are easy to operate many persons have no idea of how this should be done. Every- one should make it his business to learn the location of the nearest} fire alarm box and how to use it. He should further see that the mem-| bers of his family are acquainted | with these facts. “This inf mation should be im- parted to all school children. Mer- chants, manufacturers and other em- ployers would find it to their ad- vantage to see that every employe has this knowledge. It is impos- sible to predict who will be called upon to sound the next alarm, All| should be prepared.” Police Department Report Is’ Given Arrests for reckless driving, driv- ing while drunk and speeding to- taled eight during September, monthly report of Chief of Police Chris Martineson to the city com- mission shows.

Wilson Came Near- est to Winning Senatorship in 1926 Election That a Dem- ocrat Has Come in Many Years— Charges Fraud in Philadelphia Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 12.—)— Pennsylvania democrats hope they have found a weak link at last in the chain of defeats that for 46 pats has barred their path to the Inited States Senate. Approximately 2,000,000 ballots have n impounded to determine whether or not fraud was perpe- trated in the 1926 election in which Senate-clect William S. Vare, re- publican, led William B. Wilson, democrat, by some 173,000 votes, This was the closest a democrat had come in many years to winning a United States senatorship in the Senator-elect William. 8. Vare, republican, is a native of Philadelphia. With his broth. ers he entered the contracting business, and they became a controlling power in Philadel- dee politics. Vare finished a rother’s unexpired term in the state senate, was electec to con- gress, and was serving his eighth term in 1926 when he won the republican race for nomination to the national sen- ate from George Wharton Pep- er, incumbent, and Gifford ‘inchot, then governor. He is 60. William B. Wilson, democrat, achieved distinction in politics and labor after coming from Scotland as a boy with his par- ents. He was for years a miner in Tioga county, still his home. He was a leader in mine unioni- zation, and served eight years as secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers. Chosen in 1907 to congress, he was the first democrat elected from his district to that office since the Civil War. He was in congress six years. When a separate department of labor was formed in the cabinet he was named secretary of labor by President Wilson. He is 65. Keystone state, and Wilson refused to admit defeat. Instead, he charged that fraud had been com- mitted in Philadelphia. Denial of the charges was made by support- ers of Vare, Senate Is Final Arbiter The United States senate is to be final arbiter of the dispute. Should Wilson at last be seated, he would be the first democratic senator from Pennsylvania since William A. Wal- lace, who served from 1875 to 1881. At the general election last year Wilson, combining the support of the democratic and labor parties, | b carried 55 of the 67 counties in the state and went into Philadelphia with a lead of approximately 50,000 votes, but a tremendous vote for Vare in his home city turned the ide. After the election Wilson made allegations of fraud before the spe- cial committee named by the sen- WILLIAM S. VARE @roTo-crarrers PHOTO) WILLIAM 6B. WILSON expenditures. This committee, headed by Senator James A. Reed, investigated accounts showing ex- penditures on behalf of Mr. Vare aggregating more that. 650,000. Pinchot Refused Gifford Pinchot, republican gov- ernor of Pennsylvania and a pri- mary candidate against Vare, re- fused to certify the election of Vare in the usual manner but informed the senate that “on the basis of re- turns” Vare “apparently had been elected.” Later, when Governor John S. Fisher suceeded him, a certificate following the customary form was issued. Wilson pressed his charges of fraud and ballot boxes in Philadel- phia and Allegheny county were taken to Washington by the senate committee. In four counties au- thorities refused to surrender the joxes. A test case, in which a federal district court refused to or- der relinquishment of the ballots, has been appealed. Startling Discovery In the meantime discovery made that in 46 Philadelphia dis- tricts Wilson had received no votes, or only one vote.
