Aved JCTZENSPROTEST | AV YARD LAY Brookland Association Told . Action Almost Approaches - i “Public.Calamity.” The cut in the pgrsonnel at the I navy yard.and the sudden notification {to 1,350 men that they were fur- loughed was declared a “violation of the rights of the laborer not to be turned out without fair and equit- able warning,” and “an act destined o work great hardship to these orfers and their families, as well s being a grave ecoriomic loss to the city of Washington,” in a reso- lution adopted unanimously by the Brookland Citizens' Association at a fl | meeting ,in_the Brookland Masonic Temple, northeast, last night. | Rev. Dr. Charles F. Aiken i Catholic University, one of the most {active members of the organization, ]Dresemed the resolution after a short of address on the situation. Almost Public Calamity. “This is the worst time of year for such actlon,” he said. “It seems almost a public calamity. Many of the men are fathers of families. The difficulty of getting work in this {city for this number of men in this jline of endeavor is very great and it seems hard on the part of the gov- jernment to turn men out without a word of warning. Besides, it Is an element of economic justice that the *® |laborer be given warning before be- ing discharged.” . G CAyres supplemented the ad- dress of Dr. Aiken by narrating a call which he made upon one of the men thus laid off yesterday. 5 “He was the father of a family,” he sald. “When I went in to see him it seemed that not only his wife, but his | three small children. were stunned. It really verged upon the terrible. The man did not know what to do, and his children, small as they were, seemed to realize that their means of support suddenly had been cut off. Protest to Go to Mr. Demby. 1t wus voted to send a_copy of the protest to Secretary of the Navy Denoy immediately. The Capper bill for free text books for the high schools was taken up without reference to the schools com- mittee because of the need for an im- mediate announcement of stand upon the project. It received the unani- mous indorsement of the association. The Ball-Focht measures, making the removal of snow from sidewalks compulsory also was indorsed by unanimous vote. President E. W. Turner was in the chair. e QASS In purchasing a staple article like glass, care should be exercised to : deal with a responsible firm whose reputation, experience, facilities and stock of “glass are such that satisfaction H will be assured. i Send for Balletins Founded 1864 HIRES TURNER _ GLASS COMPANY Tosslyn, Va.

Declaring that the archives building ought to be erected in the center of a square, so that it might be free from any chance of . catching fire from other buildings, Senator Willilams said there are two essential conditions to. be complied with. “The first is that the b\lflgln‘ shall be fireproof,” he sald; “not allegedly fireproof, not fireproof according to any insurance com- pany’s report, but .fireproof sure enough, like the old Treasury building.” The fire broke out on the Treas- ury building roof the very next afternoon,-for the first time in the history of the department. It is declared that the blaze did show the fireproof quality of the build- ing, since it was superstructures and not the building itself which caught fire. DISTRT FRENEN * OBTAN NEW HOSE 1 Market and Contract to Be Made for More. The Commissioners within the next jfew weeks will contract for 6,000 more feet of new fire hose to partly. replace the large amount of hose now in serv- ice, which Fire Chief Watson and As- sistant Engineer Commissioner Bes- son have declared to be not dependa- ble. Believing that the department was facing a serious eituation in regard to hose equipment. Chief Watson early in the week urged the Commissioners to purchase 6,000 feet immediately in open market, which has been done. ‘While the fire chief believes this purchase will greatly relieve the sit- uation, there still will remain in the department approximately 45,000 feet of hose which, the chief states, has been in service longer than the known period of reliability.

ADMITS USING MAILS IN FRAUDULENT SCHEME Criminal Division 1. to two Indictments charging him with using the mail to defraud. The government, through As- sistant United States Attorney M. Pearl McCall, entered a nolie pros as to Amy V. Hitchcock, his wife, and Frank H. and Albert E. Hitchcock, his brothers, ‘who were jointly indicted with him. The chief justice imposed a sentence of five years in the penitentiary, but suspended its operation and placed the young man _on probation. Attorney Roger J. Whiteford, for the accused, explained that the transactions com- plained of were part of a general scheme conducted by Hitchcock for which he was indicted and fined in New York. Since that time the accused had sone to Los Angeles, Calif., and had abandoned the objectionable enter- prises. The lawyer pointed out that the ends of justice would be met by placing Hitchcock on probation. The alleged scheme dealt with a proposition to get $10 from a person desiring to become a writer, who was to send his manuscript to Hitchcock. who promised to edit-it and shape it up so_that newspapers and magazines would purchase it. The government claimed that he would receive the $10 and then sell the manuscript for $1.50 and pocket the balance. The accused also offered to find purchasers for |ong writers. | "Cecil Overton and Bernard Short, convicted of two charges of robbery, were sentenced to serve seven years {and six months each in the peniten- tiary by Chief Justice McCoy. Ack- ley Stearns, also convicted of robbery, was given a term of three years in the penitentiary. Andrew Hinton was sent to Occoquan for one year on a charge of housebreaking. COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN | .

Only about 12,000 feet car be pur- chased annually, it was stated today. Commissioner Oyster, who has charge of the fire department, declar- ed he is in favor of buying only the best de of hose, and in this he is sup- ported by officials of the fire départ- ment, who believe such a course is not only economical but important for the safety of firemen. Chief Watson called attention to- day to the fact that firemen risk their lives when they enter a burn- ing building with hose which has reached 2 point where it may break at_any time. The stream of water. which they drag with them into a blazing build- ing is the only protection the fire- fighters have, the. chief asserted. When a section of hose breaks the stream at the nozzle is cut off instantly, and in some cases the fire- men might find it difficult to get safely -from the building. Danger at Treasury. The fire on the roof of thé Treasury ‘Wednesday afternoon furnished the most recent illustration of the danger jof leaving the fire department with {an inadequate supply bf strong hose. At that fire, three sections of hose broke just as the men were going into action. Fortunately, the de- partment succeeded in checking the blaze before it had done serious damage, but the breaking of the hose nevertheless served as a warning of what may happen at any time. One of the engine companies which had hose break at the Treasury fire had previously reported the condi- tion of its hose to headquarters. ————— Repainted.
