DECORATION AT THlRMONT.
Crowd the Largest That Ever Attended
MnmnriaI Snrx-inaS nt This DInpa


Decoration Day was observed here last
Saturday. AS was announced, the secret
organizations joined with the soldiers in
the decoration Of graves.
The procession was formed at Town
Hall where the soldiers and children met,
who, led by the Monocacy Valley band
went to Mt. Carmel cemetery and dec
Grated graves of deceased soldiers. On
their return from this cemetery they
We're met at the gate by the procession
formed by the lodges, firemen and citi-
zens who were led by the Detour band,
and all fell in line and marched to the
United Brethren cemetery.
A monument of flowers, built by Mr.
Rob't E. Creager florist, and presented
by Capt J. Ed. Hefrner of Washington,
D. c., to the soldiers in memory of the
unknown, was carried in the process
sion by the veteran soldiers to the u B.
cemetery. The design was very pretty
and the gift much appreciated by the
veterans of this vicinity.
, Mr.. Horton Rouzer, great-greatgrand
son of Capt. James Horton, carried the
flag used by the company of Capt Hor-
ton in the battle of North Point.
The flowers carried by the |. 0. O. F.
were placed on litter and carried by
four members of the order. Other lodges
and firemen carried bouquets.
While the flowers were being distribu-
ted the bands played sacred music, con
ward Christian Soldiers, Nearer My
God To Thee, and other like selections.
At the conclusion of this ceremony,
the march was made to Town Hall at
which place Memorial services were held.
On arriving there it was found that the
hall was already well filled and many
We're debarred the privilege of listening
to the services. The hall was entirely
too small to accommodate the crowd.
After the opening services, Col. John
r. Rouzer introduced Hon. Charles h.
Schirm, who made an excellent address,
eulogizing both the soldier of the north
anu VIC oOIuiSI VI IIlc oOulH WIN iouSll
and fell in battle as we'll as those who
survived the bloody conflicts.
Rev. Richard G.. Koontz was next in
troduced and he also made very pleas
ing address, members of his family hav-
ing lost their lives in the civil war.
Very favorable comments have been
made by many persons upon the address
es and the singing by the male chorus.
Mr.. Schirm remarked after the close of
the service, II often heard the Star
Spangled Banner sung, but it's rendition
at the hall was the best | ever heard.
The number of persons in the parade
is estimated at 300 and the crowd about
town was the largest ever known on
Decoration Day. The unfavorable wealth
er during the morning doubtless prevent
ed many from coming.
That Decoration Day will be observed
in like manner hereafter is almost an as
sured fact

in the engagement of the company and
the securing of operas for presentation

he will be ready to tell us all about 1t.

iently placed axes for that very pur-
pose.
However, the hooks and buckets
were given official approval and there
the matter rested for a short time.
Next Mr.. Backus sent an order to the
Mason obligating Mr.. Wyatt to place
white cards, with black letters four
inches in height, above all exits, the
printed word reading merely exit"
Above each card he ordered red lights.
This was done, and again official ap-
proval was forthcoming. A short time
later Mr.. Backus ordered the style Of
these exit signs changed. The change
was made. The signs originally had
cost the Mason management $50. The
change entailed an expenditure of $96
more Buckets and hooks had cost $52.
n sprinkIing System
Mr.. Backus next instructed Wyatt
to install q sprinkling system. The In
stallation was promptly made under
the supervision of Mr.. Backus himself.
After this had been done Mr.. Backus
wrote Mr.. Wyatt letter compliment
ing him upon the safety of his theater.
The cost this time totalled $1142, OF
which $102 was for extra piping from
the city mains to the stage.
After that came an order for
change in the curtain. Mr.. Wyatt says
this change put the curtain back where
he had 1t before Mr.. Backus first con-

Mrs. Warren's Profession was kept
off the stage in London for several
wears by the censor. When Arnold DAILY

in New York they were stopped by the

ever, a court ruling permitted the pro-

run.

him about it and ask him why he was

FIRE PROTECTION
IN THE THEATERS

| NHE subject of systematic protec-
tion against fire in places of
- amusement has again obtruded
| itself upon public attention, this time
through the arrest of Manager H. c.
| Wyatt of the Mason opera house. Mr..
Wyatt was arrested last week, pleaded
not guilty to the charge made against
him and will be tried later. Back Of
the arrest, according to Mr.. Wyatt's
statement, there is a curious story.
No one, theatrical managers least of
! all, will argue against the installation
in theaters of any fire fighting system
that will contribute toward the public
safety. Locally the managers of the
several Los Angeles theaters have here
! tofore complied cheerfully and prompt
| ly with each and every regulation
adopted by the building inspectors of.
flee and they have not counted the
cost. Nothing that makes for public
safety has been regarded as too ex-
pensive.
In verification of this statement the
experience of Mr. Wyatt himself at the
| Mason is typical. A year and a half
ago Building Inspector Backus in
structed the manager of the Mason to
/ equip his stage with a number of fire
buckets and long iron hooks, the hooks
to be used to tear down scenery in case
Mason alone. but to every house in the
city. and though the managers re-
garded the apparatus prescribed as
useless, they promptly installed it to
avoid trouble. Each of them. of
course, had his own system already in
stalled, the buckets and hooks being
merely auxiliary to the other appa-
ratuS.
Hooks Are Heavy
These iron hooks still are on the
stages of every local theater. They
We're made under specifications pre-
scrihed by the building superintendent
and they are so heavy that it requires
an unusually strong man to lift one
of them. They would be wholly use
less in case of fire for the simple rea-
son that any piece of hanging scenery
can be dropped to the stage at once by
the simple expedient of cutting the
ropes by which it Is suspended, each
