CHRISTMAS TREE FIRES
How the Danger of ParIor co1fiaKra-
tions May BE MfniInized-

tions May BE MiniTnized-
Several accidents on Christmas eve
and day each year recall the fact. appzr-
ent only on that day. that the Christ
mas tree is quite as dangerous as il Is
pretty. and that the proud father per
sonating Santa Claus should take the
precaution TO equip himself with ashes
tos vhiskers. About the usual number
Of fires are recorded in the country each
year as a result Of the inhammsble ma
ture Of the Christmas tree and its dec
orations and their careless handling.
This warning always follows Christ
mas just as the outcry against toy pis-
tolls is raised after the Fourth Of July.
OF course no rose is free from thorns,
and apparently no holiday can be OBJ
served in the conventional fashion with
out risk of accident to the merrymakers.
Sputtering candles on a Christmas tree
are very real danger, and the same may
be said Of the trees themselves. the
wreaths Of evergreen and the mistletoe-
After day or two they become dry and
infsmmable TO a high degree, and in the
JOY of the celebration risks are run and
recautions neglected A tree thus load
ed down with presents and decorations
may become in an instant a torch capa-
Bile of starting a disastrous FIRE, as many
cities discovered the other day. to their
great cost and to the serious discomfort

SAYS RESOLUTIONS ARE UNFAIR.
Official Explains City Methods Denounced by
Association of Deaf Mutes

Acting Corporation Counsel Sterling said yester-
day that the resolutions passed by the Empire
Association of Deaf Mutes. in convention in Emira
Thursday. were unfair to the authorities of this
city. The resolutions denounce the practice of
quirng declarations of ndigency in the cases or
deaf pupils who get free instruction in schools in
the city. The convention ordered that copies or
the resolutions be sent to the Commissioner OF
Charities and Corporation Counsel Delany.
Sterling explained yesterday, makes yearly ap-
preparation to institutions in this city for the in
struction of deaf mutes. The appropriations this
year amounted to about s125.Oo0 for all the bor
Oughs, and to pay for tho board and nstruc-
ton OF pupils the of $500 year for each
pupil. The city makes these payments to the in
stitutons because 1t has public schools at
which deaf mutes be instructed free. The
payments. moreover, Mr.. Sterling pointed out,
made under the provisions of laws passed by
the State legislature. These laws enable the par
ents of any deaf child who feel that they cannot
afford pay for the instruction at of the spe
cial institutions have their child taught free by
applying to have the child admitted pupil az
the city's expense
1t might be better for the Board of Estimate to
provide additional appropriations by which the
Board of Educa ton could maintain free schools
for deaf mutes part of the public school Sys-
tenn Mr.. Sterling said but that is a matter for

vice of the Corporation Counsel. Mr. Delany is

I'hrO7C IOn7Cork Into Harlem RiUer,
Hoping to Delay Bridge Opening.

ing to be put in position. were thrown into the

the river about the bridge early in the morning in
small launch, and that about the same time
splashes We're heard in the water at the Bronx
end of the bridge. They sent diver down to the
river bottom in the afternoon and located all of the
missing castings. uninjured all within few yards
of one another. Hosting tackle was risged and the
castings lifted out of the water They will
be placed in position by other ironworkers whom
contractors hope secure, and those in charge
of the work sanguine that, in spite or the
strike and its attendant vandalism. the bridge may
be opened on the day and hour planned.
The ironworkers on the bridge went out on
Wednesday. According to the contractors, their
strike was purely in sympathy with ironworKers
on strike against the American Bridge COM
pany, at the order of a walking delegate, as tney
had no cause of grievance against Rodgers NC
Mullen & Mclean. There were seven of the IRON
workers. and their part of the work was heariI
done. The other workmen continuing their part
of the finishing touches of the bridge and the con-
tractors hope to be able to finish the remaining
ironwork
A Waterman is employed the bridge, but ap-
parenty ne nothing and did not near the
noise. and though they thought nothing of 1t at
the time. when they heard of the disappearance OF
the castings later they connected the TWO nap
penings and told the contractors.
The walking delegates of the ironworkers have
been extending the strike to various bridge bLld-
ing jobs in this State but did not reach this one
until Wednesday,
