Chief VAUGHN RETURNS
Many Interesting Pieces Of
Apparatus Were Shown
the Fire Chiefs.

Chief E. l.. Vaughn of the Worcester
fire department returned to Worcester
last night, after attending the interna-
tional convention of chief engineers
at Syracuse, N. Y.
Chief Vaughn says the exhibit of fire
department apparatus was one of the
best he has seen in his experience. The
convention was attended by about 400
delegates. OF this number, 29S were
chief engineers and the remainder in
surance men, superintendent of pro-
tective departments and fire apparatus
agents.
Chief Hale of Kansas City, Mo-, ex-
hibited a new invention in the way of
automatic alarms which met with the
undivided approval of firemen. The
arrangement is worked by a storage
battery, and is similar to the thermo-
stadt system. When a certain degree
of heat is reached the connection is
broken and an alarm is sounded in the
engine houses. In addition to the
alarm bell, each fire station on a cir
cult has telephone receiver which con-
meets with photograph arrangements
| in the several buildings where the sys-
rings, the man on duty in the engine
house takes down the receiver and the
monograph starts repeating the loca-
ton of the fire, continuing automati-
cally for several minutes.
The expression repeated by the pho
nograph may be varied to suit the own
| er of the block, and many times the
name of the owner and the location are
| Included. The apparatus was given a
most satisfactory test in the exhibition
| hall.
| A bicycle chemical engine was exhib-
| tied which attracted considerable at
| tention, but which has not been per-
fected. The contrivance has four pneu-
matte tired wheels, and is provided with
four sets of pedals with saddles and
| handlebars for four men. The chemi-
cal tank is similar to that used by the
| ordinary chemical engine, and is sus-
pended between the four wheels.
| An interesting test calculated to de-
! tel mine the respective merits of the La
France and American fire engines re-
suited in an interesting contest One of
the American extra first size was pitted
against a la France first size The
American had nine-inch stroke and
| 5s4 Inch pump, and the La France a
9-inch stroke and 5A Inch pump.
| In order to eQualize the difference in
size CT pumps, the American engine
played through Pinch nozzle and the
La France through a IA Inch nozzle.
The first tests consisted of horizontal
pays into the canal, but the test in
which results were most easily deter
mined was when the streams were
pointed straight in the air 1t was then
that the La France showed it's superior
| force, and while it was impossible to
| determine exactly, Chief Vaughn
thought the La France stream played
about 80 feet higher than the other.
Both engines were sold, and the test
was held during the convention in or
der that the chief engineers might wit
ness their working before they We're
shipped to their respective destinations.

among them are two Worcester officers.
Capt F. G. Barrett of the City Guards
has stated that he is considering hand
ing in his resignation from the state
militia before the next camp, and Capt.
Charles S. Holden will also leave the
militia as soon as his company gets in
good shape.
Both have been good officers and l.
they do leave the militia, a move they
will both have to make under pressure,
they will leave good records behind
them. Capt. Barrett is popular militi1
officer, and is well liked by his men,
who do not care to part with him, and
the same is true of Capt. Holden.
The failure of Lieut.. H. H. Warren of
the Light Infantry to secure a commits
sion in the volunteer service up to date
is causing his friends considerable
thought and they are utterly at loss
to understand why he should not be
among the favored ones, as his record
in the Spanish-American war is second
to no officers in the volunteer service
in Massachusetts. The popular lieuten-
ant takes the matter philosophically
and says nothing. He has made appli-
cation but, to date, has failed to hear
anything from the war department

Joe Flaherty Intends to Open School
of Boxing in Worcester.

Joe Flaherty of Lowell will come to
this city the last of the week prepared
to take up permanent residence here.
He intends to open a school of boxing
instruction in Worcester early in the
fall, and will devote his entire atten-
ton to instruction during the fall and
winter.
Last week his friend, George P. King,
tried to get on a match with Joe Null
len, the South Boston boxer. The lat
ter wanted to get at Jimmy Kearns or
Patsy Sweeney. When King learned
of that fact he thought Mullen was fly
ing too high and suggested to friend
of Mullen's that the latter could get on
a match with Flaherty for a good
sized side bet. He could not get the
match, however. Mullen and Flaherty
fought in New London last year, and
the fight was given to Flaherty on a
foul. as Mullen made it a rough and
tumble battle, knocking Flaherty down
and fighting when they were on the
floor. 1t was at once stopped and Fla
herty got the decision.
