MORE ROTTEN HOSE. \ INETEEN lengths of hose burst and | twenty firemen were injured at the | Eighteenth street fire yesterday. | Since nobody was killed this is an) improvement over the Parker Build-| ing fire, where more hose burst and three firemen were killed, and the Worth street fire, where four lengths. of hose burst and two firemen were killed. Yesterday's fire loss was $250,000. This would pay for 200,- 000 feet of good 234 inch hose. | Since the Parker Building and Worth street fires Commissioner Lantry has resigned and a new Fire Commissioner is the nominal head of the department. M. Francis Lough- man, who sold the city rotten hose, is still deputy to Water Commission- er O'Brien. Cdimmissioner O’Brien, who was secretary to the Mayor| when the Loughman hose was bought, and who as Fire Commissioner did not require the replacement of the rotten Loughman hose, is still Water Commissioner. If after the facts about the rotten hose and low water pressure were made public by The Evening World Mayor McClellan had removed Com- missioner O'Brien and his deputy, Loughman, there would have been an} object lesson of some importance, but Lantry’s resignation only meant) that when public clamor became too insistent somebody must be found to} be the “goat,” and that the real reason for rotten hose would continue. 0 0-9-00-0-0-0-<0)0-010) 00 000 SSS x0 --No. Q-- When !| Was “Chief of Scouts.”’ was Dux camp bee ted we were anys ! a creek Sof | After the Parker Building fire the city bought 80,000 feet of hose.| The bids accepted were those of the Diamond Rubber Company and the Republic Rubber Company.
