Sincere applause followed former Fire Commissioner Hijerpe's plea for the two platoon system. He appeared as a ‘“private citizen.” He combined practical statements senti- mental appeal that was effective. His appearance was the signal for a per- sonal tribute which was significant in view of the recent action of the board in displacing him chairman, an event which he might have prevented had he voted for himself as the new criminations and spoken and insinuated, the rounds any rate with a as chairman is reported to have done Mr. Hierpe estimated that the de- partment would be 75 per cent more efficient under the two-platoon system than it is at present. He cited the in- stance of The Herald fire as one oc casion when fresh firemen, obtainable under the two-platoon plan, replacing the worn out fire workers, might have prevented some of the damage done His plea that firemen be given such hours as to allow them proper time 4t home, held touches of elogquence and his statement that between the hours of seven and nine o'clock in the morning there were but two men on duty in some of the fire houses em phasized the wakeness of the present situation. Former Commissioner Kranowitz's added word, tending to show that the increased efficiency of the department would be many times greater than the increased expense, added much to the strength of the appeal. The former commissioners showed a proper atti- tude in their expression that the action of the council, in determining to refer the matter to a special com- mittee of eight composed of an in- syrance man, a manufacturer and a merchant, not members of the council and five members of the common council, was in accordance with their judgment as to what should be done. The attitude of the council in feeling the the fire commissioners, as the board is now constituted, should not be con- sidered by this committee because of a personal feeling against such present members of report of some members, was untirely unwarrantea The report an official which should be considered regardless of the popularity or unpopularity of the men composing the board. It was satisfactory to note that most of the members of the ap- preciated that due the Mayor of a city like New Britain and that he should not be embarrassed in his effort to keep the mayor's of- fice open every day in the week even though it is necessary to pay a secre- tary the sum of $300 a year to bring this about. It is to be hoped tHere will be less trouble over the ever-troublesome municipal garage under the new com-\ mittee appointed to manage its affairs. It would seem that this trouble in the past has resulted in a great measure from the unfortunate personality of those who have had to do with it. It is good that no proionged hesi- tancy on the part of the council pre- vented its acceptance of the state's oifer whereby the city acquires practi- cal title to a piece of property 160 by 100 feet, purchased by the state ten years ago for $10,500, merely by placing a proper fence about the prop- erty. is document council some respect is POLICE PRIDE ° New York's police force used 1o be called, perhaps with a hint of sarcasm, *The Finest.” Despite the suggestion of humor in the title, there was a feel- ing of pride among New York police- men in the fact that they were con- sidered an efficient body of men. Every man wants to take pride in his work—-that is, every man who is worth anything. There is the con- viction that every policeman in this city would like to feel that his “beat” was the most orderly beat in the city, allowance being made for the char- acter of the people who lived in the neighborhood he covered. The idea is idealistic and some may say it is old-tashioned, but one who 1§ not a » Y R B S S T A ST Ry S .

Cre- iting jobs for politicians, democratic ye republican, certainly is “too much politics.” From recent remarks of the Mayor he refuses to create jobs and may go further and abolish which already exist—every being a possible plum seeker. some “job’ for an office Cynics will that it will be noticed that any jobs abolished from 10w one will be jobs which are filled say ¥y republicans. Cynics be al- owed to have their say. It is to be een whether there will be justifica- must ion for such cynical surmises. When Mayor Paonessa refused to speak any more at public gatherings unless in the line of his duties or city business, comment was made on Hhis iction by out-of-town press. It was indicated that he gave evidence of being a somewhat ‘“different” sort of 4 mayor. It was said that his career would be watched with interest. Certainly the open assertion, which brings no comfort to men of his po- itical faith who are seeking office, that he would not only not create new Jobs but might abolish some that ex- ist now, indicates that Mayor Pdonessa is, indeed, a “different” sort of mayor. It would seem that he does not seek to placate any organization; it would seem, almost that he might be quite willing to members of own party if he believed to do so to give the city as economical and good in administration as possible. 1f he is going to develop this trait of, inde- that democratic party would gain support- ers, in the final analysis, by approv- ing the Mayor's actions.

There remains no doubt as to how a ma- jority of the Irish people feel on thiy matter, The only doubt that remains is whether or the republicans in Ireland will fight the will of the ma- jority, basing their cause on the as- sertion that the people do not know what is good for them, or that a majority of the Irish people are not patriotic. It is to be hoped that the will of the people will prevail in the island dear to so many good citizens f the worid, and that it may become once moreé a home of happiness and peace. Natchez, Miss., June 2.—Five years ago triplets were born to Mrs. William Prestage’ of Floyd, a miscroscopic community near Monroe, West Car- roll county, Louislana, and the doc- tor, after congratulating Mr. Prestage, told him not to be overalarmed. “Triplets are unusual, Bill," said the doctor. “Chances are that Mrs, Prestage will never repeat the exper- fence. Most unusual, triplets. Never heard of but two other women who became mother of two sets of trip- lets. You're a darned fortunate man, Bill. Much luck to you !" No Enthusiasm. It is a matter of record that Mr. Prestage received the triplets and the congratulations without noticeable en- thusiasm. He permitted the doctor to shake his hand ""2 stood on the porch nodding his head slowly to the neighbors who stopped to applaud and wish him well. But the hard, cold truth is that no ear-splitting cheers were heard to issue from the throat of Mr. Prestage. Last week five perfectly formed and outrageously healthy children were born to Mrs. Prestage. Three were boys and two girls. Mr. Prestage standing on the front porch reflective- ly- stroking his rough chin when the doctor (the same dottor) emerged from the house. “As I said five years ago, Bill,” said the doctor, “triplets are unusual. T knew it wouldn't happen again.” “Doctor,” interrupted Mr. Prestage, as it occurred to you that neither Mrs. Prestage nor me is dead yet?" Has His Doubts. Mr. Prestage, who is a farmer in an exceedingly modest way, admits he views life with a certain apprehen- sion. At the moment he is deeply ab- {sorbed in two somewhat solid prob- lems.

FIVE GO IN SEARGH OF BURIED WEALTH $60,000,000 Buried Of Nova Scotia Is Goal New York, June 22,—An expedition secretly outfitted at Elizabeth, N. J, for the recovery wof buried treasure with a traditional value of $50,000,~ 000 is on its way from New York har- bor to Halifax, it was learned yester- day. The party comprises two Newark men, two from White Plains and one from Elizabeth. At Halifax they will ship on another boat to journey to an obscure island off Nova Scotia, where they hope to accomplish an enterprise that has cost fortunes in many vain expeditions, The Elizabeth member of the party is James R. Cameron, 59, of 6595 Madison avenue, head of Cameron & Kaulfers company, pattern makers, 56 Marshall street. Have Lease on Treasure. A casual observer loitering at Rec- reation Pier, Elizabeth, on Tuesday, while a gang of men hurried to.load rusty iron tubes and machinery aboard the steamer learned that Edward W. Bowne of Newark, formerly a rancher in Montana, is the directing head and the financial backer of the expedition. A Californian who posseses the secret of the treasure and who is eaid to hold a lease from the Canadian gov- ernment on the island where the gold is said to be hidden, is another part- ner in the enterprise. At the pier a few minutes before his ship cast off Cameron said he would not know for two months whether he had taken a pleasure trip or a profitable business journey to Nova Scotia. ‘Was South American Gold. The story of the buried treasure goes back to a legend that during a war between South American Counties many years ago the government of one determined to save the national treasure from capture and put it aboard a ship. The vessel escaped the enemy and reached the coast of Can- ada, where the gold and gems were buried. Another version of thé story was that the crew of the treasure ship mutinied and stole the treasure and then buried it. An acquaintance of Mr. Bownes said that he has been planning many years for this attempt and has put $20,000 or more into his expedition, and is confident of success. Friends of Mr. Cameron said he told them he ecxpects to be back in Eliz- abeth within two or three months.

District Attorney Ruston saw the governor at the Republican club after being advised of the arrest of Di Matteo, and it was then that the re- spite for Tumberello was granted. Governor Miller said that he granted the reprieve to enable all the facts in the case to be developed by the Kings county prosecutor. The governor said that, according to the facts laid before him, Di Matteo was the master mind in the murder of Balsamo. £ Caught While Fishing. “The Cowpuncher” was apprehend- ed while fishing in a rowboat off Coney Island, Detectives Grutano and Pucciano arrested him. The arrest of Di Matteo, it is un- derstood, came about through the efforts of Tumberello's friends. The youth was about to die and his friends decided that they were ‘“‘willing to tell a thing or two" to save him. They hurried with their information to the police and an alarm was sent out for Di Matteo. THhe uniformed force and detectives in every quarter of the city were watching for him. Yesterday morning Detective Grutano and Puc- clano heard that he had gone fishing. They hired a rowboat and for se eral hours searched through the fog. Tumberells, according to the story to the police, was only a toel of the gang, of which Di Matteo was a wily leader. This gang, the policé say, hires youths, some of them 18 years old, to commit holdups and robberies at their direction. According to the al leged evidence in the hands of the po- lice, the '"cowpuncher” and his gang would divide the spoils with the rob- ber. Tumberello, it is said, had beén given bootleg whiskey by the gang before he attempted the holdup. It was the practice of the gang, the police say, to give the young gun- men whiskey so that they would do daring things without a quaver. e S PALACE Thurs., Fri., Sat.
