CAUSES OF FIRES IN CITIES.

One of the problems confronting our
larger cities Is the discovery of causes
of fires and the adoption Of proper
means for lessening losses from those
sources. Fire causes In big cities Is
the subject of an important report
submitted to the thirtieth annual con-
vention of the National Electric Light
association now in session in Washing
ton. The report showed that among
illuminants in New York city in the
past five years, candles were RESPONSE
Bile for 1929 Ares, gas for 1850, lamps
for e76, and electricity for 457. Care
fully kept records attribute to escap-
ing gas, gas lights, gas stoves and
radiators $3.50 fires in New York in
five years, oil lamps, kerosene and al
cohol 976 fires, and careless use Of
matches 1857.
The figures for Boston show that out
of total of 1909 fires electricity
caused 60, gas and Kerosene 2Si,
matches $40. Chicago's record Of fires
numbering 1897, attributes GAG to
careless use of matches, POI to defec-
tive fues, 232 to gasoline, 1G6 to oil
lamps and stoves 169 to spontaneous
combustion, and GO to electricity. ont
of 1.165 alarms on the records of the
fire department of Los Angeles 80 were
due to crossed wires and 1877 to gas or
gasoline. Baltimore makes the best
showing Of all for the safety Of cleo
tricity, there eing only ~ fires from
electrical causes out of 1871 alarms.
Under the head of the life hazard Of
electricity, the report gives figures
from a number of large cities shown ,
35 electrocutions from accidental
causes, 500 accidental deaths from, gas
and SO suicides by gas asphyxiation.
The report of the light association
makes strong recommendation for
systematic and uniform inspcction
throughout the country and It is en-
couraging 10 note that steps in this
direction have already been taken in
Burlington.

OPER ATIONS NEAR BURLINGTON
DURING THE REVOLUTION.

The FREE PRESS is indebted to the
Hon. Horatio l.. Wait of Chicago, a
descendant OF Col. Joseph Wait of the
Continental army, who was himself an
officer in the Union army during the
Civil War. for valuable and interest
ing memoranda In relation to opera
lions in the vicinity of Burlington dur
ing the War of the Revolution. The
article includes copies of original let
tiers, which Mr., Wait has in his fam
lily record book. Mr.. Wait writes as
follows;
The expedition into Canada had been
well planned and was boldly executed
under circumstances of the greatest
hardship. Chambly, st. Johns, Mon
trral, and other posts were captured
and held as long as It was possible for
the small army to hold them unsupport

adequate force to occupy the posts cap

manently, but the hardships and eX-
posture of the winter campaign soon

The Free Press announced a number of
days ago that the weekly payment law
passed by the Legislature last autumn
which took effect with the beginning o..
June, would be tested by a case arranged
between the attorney general and counsel
for some OF the large corporations. The
Brattleboro Phoenix in discussing the
subject gives the following further infor-
nation in relation to the situation
1.-The attorneygeneral, upon being in
teIviewed, states that he has agreed that
a test case can be arranged for a speedy
determination of the constitutionality of
the weekly payment law, burt that he does
not undertake to suspend the operation Of
the law in the meantime. By the proyi-
sions Of the act the States attorneys of
the counties. upon complaint being made
that the law Is not complied with are
required to file a notice in each instance
with the corporation refusing to obey,
that the law will be enforced An action
for the penalty which the law imposes
cannot be begun until ten days after such
notice has been filed. but il is not neces-
sary that the action be begun Immediate
iy alL8T the expiration Oh lHe ten Gays.
So II the corporations desire to test the
oonstitutionality of the law there will be
only one suit brought, but the penalties
win be accommodating against the corpora
lions in case anyone sees fit to complain
against them. Whether the corporations
Will dare run the risk OF suffering heavy
penalties by refusing to adopt the weekly
payment plan IN the meantime is not
certain. 1t is likely that a test case can
be heard in the supreme court in October.
II It should go to the United States Su-
prene Court it would take much as a
year longer to get final decision"
It Is evident from this that the test case
thus arranged which was intended to
help the corporations out of dilemma
may not accomplish the purpose intend
ed. II sons OF these corporations take
the safe SIDE they will begin weekly pay
ments and when once the system is be-
gun, they may not think 1t worth while
to change back again. even though the
new law may eventually be declared I'M
constitutional.

ARTESIAN WATER FOR STOCK

which would attend the use of artesan

In the course of an Investigation of the

plain. the low terraces bordering the

These terraces make excellent grass

THE JAPANESE AGGRESSIVE.

II there Is no conflict between Japan
and the United States, it will be be-
cause both nations are patient and
long suffering and not because
of lack of contributory causes. Fol-
lowing the exclusion of japanese pupils
from the public schools OF San Fran
cisco came the attacks on Japanese in
the Golden City. involving the wreck
ing of a Japanese restaurant and Jap
anese bathhouse: but strangely enough
violations of rights of person and prop
erty caused far less feeling among the
Japanese than exclusion OF their pupils
from our common schools.
Still another source of controversy
with the Japanese is the question
whether inhabitants of the Island
Empire" can become naturalized citi-
zens of the United States Some time
ago a number of Japanese residents of
Los Angeles. Cal. made application to
be naturalized and the matter was re-
ferred to the national authorities at
Washington by the county clerk. The
department of commerce and labor, to
which the question was assigned, de-
cided that Japanese could not become
citizens of tho United States. and it Is
now announced that the Japanese pc
titioners will begin mandamus pro-
ceedings to determine their rights in
this country.

directions to create panic among rail-
