Wins Cup Permanently. Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, who rep- resented the Merchants and Manulas turers' Association as its vice presi- dent, presented the cup to Commis sloner Irederick A.

The trophy becomes the permanent property of Truck 6, the Merchants | and Manufacturers’ Assoclation hav | ch and en. the dis- fastest wa ing a simflar trophy to the fastest | truck con.ay here each year. In a brief add Gen. Stephan compared the men of the Fire Depart- ment to soldiers in time of war. They must always be ready—prepared to take the firing line on a second's no- tice and ready to dfe in thef¥ tracks if necessary to stem the advance of the their work, both must be trained up to the minute and alert for every sign of danger, Gen. Stephan continued. “To the Merchants' and Manufac- turers’ Assoctation,” . Fire Department holds a deep and| personal appeal. You men are guard- ing the very lives and the property of the citizens of Washington, and we are proud of you. I want to say that we belleve the wonderful achievement of this company—the men of Truck §—has been an inspiration to the peo- ple of Washington, and it is very likely that the record you have estab- lished will never_ be equaled. “It is, therefore, with genuine pride. Mr. Commissioner, that I hand you this cup, commemorating for all time the work of this company, and ask you to present it to those who so de- tervedly have won it. It now be. comes the permanent property of Truck 6, and each year a duplicate will be prescnted to the truck com- pany in Washington making the best time. If you win again next year, you will get a second cup.” Fenning Praises Achievement. Responding, Commissioner Fenning #alt was a very generous act of the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation to donate this beautiful cup to the truck company establishing the | best record in the recent competition. | This is similar to the cup Tecently donated by The Evening Star News- paper Co. and won by an engine com- pany, The members of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers' Associa- tlon live in this District and their large business interests are centered here. It follows, therefore, that the members of this association are par- ticularly interested in the Fire Dew partment, for it is to the Fire De- partment that they look for the pro- tection of life and the preservation of property in times of conflagration. The fact that the Fire Department| has been rendering efficlent service is attested by the presentation of this cup by the Merchants and Manufac- turers’ Assoclation. “In the falr competition recently| conducted the best record was made by Truck Company No. 6, then under the command of Lieut. Fling, in mak-| ing a getaway from its house in eight seconds. This record clearly shows the alertness of this company.

U. S. CONSUL RESIGNS. The resignation of George K United States Consul at Stavanger, orway, tendered several weeks ago, has been accepted by the President. At the State Department it is said that Consul Stiles had been completely exonerated of charges recently filed against him of having shown favorit- ism to the Cunard steamship lines in the issue of passports to emigrants to the United States, and that his resig. nation was entirely voluntary. Mr. Stiles is from Baltimore and was for- merly engaged in newspaper work in that city and elsewhere.

Haynes from Washington today while the city stili was discussing sweeping orders from the Treasury which de- prived him of practically all powers in enforcement of prohibition. At the commissioner's office it was simply said he was out of the city on “officlal business” and would be back in a few days. From a highly reliable source, how- ever, it was intimated that there was something more significant than mere s which has caused absence from the city at the time the orders were is- sued which In -effect demote him. No Explanation Given. No further explanation was forth- coming, although there was much dis- cussion in offictal as well as unofilcial clrcles as to why Mr. Haynes “hap- pened” to be out of the city when his “wings were clipped,” and no one seemed to know where he was. In some quarters it was reported that Mr. Haynes was at the home of relatives in Kentucky, that he was “on leave,” or that there was some- thing even _more mysterfous about his absence. The perennial rumor that Mr. Haynes had resigned wus denied in_official circles. Under the orders issued yesterday by Commissioner of Internal Revenue Blair, practically all the authority former]y delegated to Mr. Haynes has been decentralized and placed on the shoulders of the 24 admlinistrators who are to be appointed by Assistant Sec- retary of the Treasury Andrews, the new dry chief. RESIGNATION DENIED. Coolidge Not to Interfere With New Enforcement Policy. SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., August 4 P).—13 was reiterated today at the Summer White House that Prseident Coolidge understands that Roy Haynes will continue as prohibition commissioner despite persistent re- ports that he might resign. The President has received no offi- cial information of any change in en- forcement policy curtaillng Mr. Haynes’ powers. It is his understand- ing that Mr. Haynes is functioning s usual ewcept that he is immediate- Iy responsible to Assistant Secretary Andrews of the Treasury, who has been placed in charge of the Govern- ment against prohibition law viola- tors. Mr. Coolidge, however, has taken the position that administra- tion of the Volstead law now is in the hawnds of Mr. Andrews and he sheuld be given a free hand to make such shifts in personnel and changes in policy as he deems desirable. et WAN, 81, ARRESTED.

Every phase of the labor question will be treated, including the elght- hour day, the closed and open shop, child labor, the union label and many other subjects. The picture will be made in Chicago.

The statement explained that the assoclation hoped that by thus placing the burden of such benefits on the industry “these schemes will be wiped out” and higher wages obtained for its members to create their own benefit systems, FOUR DIE IN ITALIAN - RIOT LAID TO TAXES By the ciated Press COSENZA, Italy, August 4.—Thre= women and a man were killed and 15 persons injured in fighting yester- day at San Giovanni, in southern Italy, when a mob of 200 stormed the | Municipal Bullding as a protest agalinst the administrative methods of government officials.
