AMERICAN FIREMEN, N one day last week two disastrous fires at Chicago and Philadelphia cost the lives of forty firemen, including in the former city such heroic veterans of the service a8 Fire Chief Horan and his first assistant, Burroughs. Shortly before,in a factory fire at New- ark, N. J., twenty-five working girls perished, through no fault of the men v fought the flames, but because the building was inadequately equipped with fire escape By a singular coincidence, on) the day following the conflagra- tions in Chicago and Philadel phia the New York legislative investigating committee heard the testimony of the fire insurance men here as to local conditions in thir line of activity and risk. .., The time proved ill chosen for an attack upon Chief Croker, was promptly resented; and no marked enthusiasm greeted + Chambers, the chairman of the fire insurance committee of the T—0.t6.0 7 ants’ Association, when he advanced the theory that putting , out fires and saving lives is old-fashioned—that prevention is what We should insist upon nowadays. | “I would guarantee that there are 1,000 factories in New York | City where the conditions are as bad as they were in that Newark | death-trap—and the chances taken in the moti are frightful,” declared Mr. Wentworth, of the tection Association. Sv If that is s0, it will probably strike the impartial render that Omething very like prevention must be in operation right along hereabouts, to obviate frequent holocausts, which is more to the eredit of the Fire Department than of other agencies of gov- ernment. .. The fact is, the popular es- teem in which the American fire- man is held at home and abroad is founded upon a pretty thorough paloma with his present effi- , also with his past record. ~~ There is an aggregate of 4,350 officers and men in the Fire Department of the five boroughs of Greater New York. According to the City Record, there were in the third quarter of the year now ending a total of 3,883 alarms (3,584 of them for real fires). That mi@ans an average of something like forty fires a day all the year round. Some of the worst fires are started in ways against which ordi- ary official precaution seems of no avail. The recent Chicago fire seems to have resulted from the bursting of an ammonia pipe. That of Philadelphia—it is pathetically curious to note—is attributed by superstitious sufferers io the fact that the total number of members of the Firemen’s Relief Association had reached the “hoodoo” figure ! ot gets! i's n-picture film shops | ional Fire Pro- ;A TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR “HIDE.” ITY CHAMBERLAIN HYDE’S invisibility continues to be complete.
