OLD GLORY IS RAISED
OVER HARB0R STATION
'Tis a Proud Day for Captain
Conboy, the Pride of
the Water Front

Michael Joseph Conboy, captain OF
the harbor police. was a proud man
yesterday when his daughter Josephine
hoisted the American flag over the new
harbor police station, handsome
frame edifice erected over the ruins
of the structure that went out of COM
mission April Is. 1905. The flag was
raised in the presence of Acting Mayor
Gallagher, the Police Commissioners.
Chief of Police and some personal
friends of the captain. with Company c
standing at attention in a hollow
square and the police drum corps
pounding parchment.
The ceremony had been arranged by
Captain Conboy. by whose personal ef-
forts the station was built and fur
nished. When the flag had been raised
and the echoes of the drums had faded
away Company c and Captain Cowboys
guests adjourned to the big assembly
room on the second story, where the
opening of the station was further
celebrated in a talk-fest, in which
each speaker took Michael Joseph
Conboy for a text. When the last
speaker had paid his tribute Company
was dismissed. and Captain Conboy
took his guests to a restaurant. where
a banquet was served.
Mayor Schmitz had been invited, but
sent Supervisor Gallagher as his repre-
sentative. Gallagher delivered an ora
tion that tested the stability of the
new structure and brought bushes to
the beaming face of Michael Joseph.
Chief of Police Jerry Dfnan told some-
thing of Michael Josephs energy as a
policeman, and one speaker paid a

FIRETRAP ORDINANCE
IS To Be DEFEATED
Supervisors Have Turned
On Their Colleague,
Sam Davis
BROKE HIS PLEDGE
Violater of Law Will Be
Punished for Vote
on Gas Rate

Even his colleagues the Board
Of Supervisors have turned on sam
Davis. The minority has planned TO
punish him for bts violation of a
pIedEe 10 vote for a T5-cent gas rate,
and his attempt 20 have his deathtrnp
theater IegaIized by ordinance is TO be
defeated.
From present indications the pro-
posed ordinance designed TO protect
one-story hretrap theaters OF the Davis
fype will fail OF final passage when
81 comes I'D for consideration by the
Board OF Supervisors at the meeting
tomorrow. 1t is stated that the minor
fly ia the board. which stood out Tor
a 75-cent gas rate, is planning 10 pun
ish Supervisor Davis, one Of the pro
prietors OF the dangerous McAnister-
street show house, because he went
hack on his word and voted for the
S5-cent rate.
The seven Supervisors who have a
rod in pickle for Davis and plan TO
defeat the ordinance are Boxton.
Coffey. Furey, Harrigan, Kelly, Loner-
gan and McGushin. They viii require
only one more vote to prevent the final
passage of the ordinance, and this one
vote. and probably more, will be forth
coming.
The proposed ordinance. which has
already been passed TO print would
render immune several one-story
theaters OF inlammable construction
from the provisions Of the general or
6inance regulating the freproof con-
struction OF theaters. which is hagrant-
ly violated by the Davis Theater and
others.
The ordinance proposed merely re-
ouires the placing Of a bucket or two
Of water on the stage and the installa-
tion of a two-inch pipe connecting with
the street water main as q fiimsy pre-
caution against FIRE.
The, ordinance came from no one
knows where. for 81 was never con-
sidered by the fire committee. to which
it should have been referred IL was
passed 10 print by the Supervisors out
of an evident kindness Of heart for one
Of their colleagues, who was in dis
tress because his theater was IN dan
ger Of being closed.
At the last meeting Of the board
final action on the ordinance was post
poned. because the members shied at
passing an ordinance which was ille-
gal on its face. inasmuch as IL con-
ficted with the general ordinance on
the subject.
II is possible that before q vote IS
taken on the final passage Of the ordi-
nance tomorrow 81 viii be referred to
the FIRE committee. in order TO let
Davis down easy. In all likelihood
the final action on the ordinance will
be TO postpone II indefinitely. if it's de-
feat is not actually encompassed by
the required ten negative votes.
