however, when it was announced that
number of young men, experienced in mil
itary matters, were DESTROYS of entering the
ranks. Many of them have been members
of the drill teams of the Morton Cadets.
1t is probable that Mr.. G.. E. Tralles. who
recently resigned his commission first
lieutenant of the Morton Cadets, will take
charge of the drill work of the Rifles. The
company hopes to participate in the peace
jubilee parade.
At the meeting last evening 1t was stated

DISTRICT FIRE DEPARTMENT
Report of Chief Paris for the Month Of
April.
Alarms IrreguInrIy Struck in Twenty
Instances Explanation by En-
gineer AIien-The Losses.

The report of the chief of the District fire
department for the month of April shows
that there We're thiIty-stven alarms of fire
sounded. an Increase of thirteen as COM
pared with the preceding month, and an in
crease of eleven over the month of April,
1s,Is. Nine of these alarms were false, five
of the nine being struck in one evening.
There were also eighteen local or silent
alarms. The estimated loss for the month
$500. covered by insurance of
$3.50, against a loss of $500 and an in
surance of $3.50 for the preceding month,
and d loss of slo,715 and insurance of
Sf,455 fer the month of April of last year.
Chief Paris charges that out of the thir
ty-seveH alarms sounded last month. irreg-
ularites attended the reception in the vari-
Gus houses OF the department of twenty of
them. Speaking of the alleged number of
alarms irregularIy struck in the houses last
month. the first month during which the
new fire a-arm system of the District has
been in operation. Mr.. W. c. Allen, the Dis
trict electrical engineer, stated to a Star
reporter today that, while there was un-
doubtedly some irregularity attending the
reception of the alarms, in the majority of
cases the fault was due to the failure of the
tape registers to work properly. Some mis-
takes. he said, were made by the operators
at headquarters, but it appears that all
the mistakes and irregularities We're due.
not to the new system, but to the fact that
it is not yet in perfect working order
throughout and, while 1t is true that in
some instances the operators at headquar-
tiers were at fault, MIR. Allen thinks 1t is
equally true that in q number of instances
the flremen were at fault.
Tape Registers.
The tape registers, he explained, have not
worked as we'll as they should, and it be-
came necessary to repair number of them
1t also became necessary to send the man
ual transmitter 20 New York for repairs,
the house gongs and the visual indicators
during its absence being cut out. 1t is ex-
pected back in a few days, when the ring
ing of the EOngS ana the use Of the indlca-
tors will be resumed
No damage has resulted from the irregu-
larity attending the reception of the alarms
said Mr.. Allen, although it is stated that
more than company has during the
period the new system has been in opera
ton responded to wrong boxes The irreg-
ularitiCs and the mistakes which have oc-
Cured. Mr.. Allen believes, are merely those
which were expected during the first month
or so of the new system. Despite the pre-
dcti0ns and opinions of those In and out
of the department who do not think well of
the new system, Mr.. Allen says 1t is the
most modern and completely equipped one
ever set up, and he feels confident that as
soon as the minor defects and Irregularities
have been corrected, 1t will be all that is
claimed for it.
