WHEN F1REMEN ARE BRAVE
Chief Croker Says It Is When They
Enter the Service.

New York, Feb. 1s.-That extra
ordinary bravery should not be
ascribed to f1remen who lose their
lives In the performance of their duty
Is the opinion of Fire Chief Croker,
expressed in an interview regarding
the death of Deputy Fire Chief
Kruger who was killed by falling
through trap door into a sub-base-
ment filled with water, while seeking
an opportunity to reach a fire which
was raging in an adjoining building.
Four other firemen have been killed
within a month. The only bravery
f1remen show, according to Chief
Croker, Is when they enter the de-
partment. They know then that they
are taking their lives into their hands
and that they are liable to be killed at
any moment. After the first plunge
all is matter of simple duty.
1t happened that those men got
killed. That is an eventuality which
is always reckoned on as possibility
is to it." says the chief. '.F1remen
have been killed in this city before
poor Charley Kruger and the other
four lost their lives. Firemen will be
killed right along, it can't be helped"
Chief Croker said yesterday. Some
people say that firemen are trained to
be reckless. That is not SO. Fire
fighting is business. The business
of a fireman is to put out the fire
Quick-the quicker the better To
put one out 1t is usually necessary to
get close to 1t, and the closer you
get. the more dangerous becomes
your position. Accidents Will hap
per-there you are"

VIII Discuss Deposit Insurance Com
pany Tomorrow.

The executive committee of the State
Bankers association will meet in To-
peka tomorrow for the purpose of talk
ing over plans for the formation of a
company to guaranty bank deposits.
This is the proposition advocated by
Bale P Waggener, who says that no
state law is essential to the formation
of a surety company of this kind
Most of the bankers seem to think
that the organization of an association
of this kind will still the clamor for a
state guaranty deposit law, but wheth-
er they are right in that assumption re-
mains to be seen.
The executive council of the Kansas
Bankers association is composed of the
president, vice president, all former
presidents of the association, group vice
presidents. and all the chairmen of
groups. The officers of the association:

SAVE THE FALLS.
Scientist Points Out the Danger
Threatening Niagara.

Washington, Feb 1e-Dr ]. w.
Spencer, the British scientist, who was
commissioned by the geological survey
of Canada to make an investigation of
the Niagara Falls problem, described
today in an interesting manner the eff
feet of utilization of it's waters by pow
er plants near the scenic beauty of that
natural water power.
At the instance of the American Civic
Federation DR.. Spencer has appeared
before the house rivers and harbors
committee and presented facts and fig
ures to show what effect the request of
the Ontario Power company for a pow
er franchise to develop which would re-
quire 10000 cubic feet of water per sec
ond would have on the falls.
1t was contended by DR.. Spencer that
this request is for from 20 to % per cent
of the discharge of Niagara river and
would greatly impair the characters
tics of the whirlpool rapids; lower the
river bed up to the falls, break up the
surface rock at the foot of the Ameri-
can falls and Goat island and thereby
cause a more rapid recession of the
Horseshoe.
LAS the beginning of these rapids is
marked by a rim over which the flow
Of water is already very thin on the
eastern half" said DR.. Spencer today,
the diversion of the water will drain
that portion of the rapids with the eff
feet Of destroying about 800 feet of the
eastern side of the great Horseshoe and
breaking up the American falls into
separate streams. By this shrinkage
of the water, the total length of both
falls will be contracted from nearly
1000 feet to, say 1000 feet and the di-
ameter of the great fall from ], 200 to 300
feet. This diversion of the water will
produce a shrinkage Of the Horseshoe
SO that what remains will be entirely
on the Canadian side of the boundary
line.
'On account Of the lowering of the
water in the basin, above the upper
rapids, it will increase the slope of the
river so that the surface of Lake Erie
will be lowered by three feet.
Again the lowering of Lake Erie will
Huron and Michigan. Already with a
partial use, Lake Erie has been lowered
10 inches. but this is not apparent to
the superficial observer owing to the
very high water, which has prevailed
during the last four years and especial
| ly the last two years. But this condi-
ton can not be expected to continue.
This amount of lowering includes that
| of the Chicago canal which at present
| is taking 5000 cubic feet a second or
| about half their rights. In connection
with the calculations for repairing the
! harbors and canals thus damaged, the
| United States engineers calculated that
\ to increase the depth even one foot,
would cost over $4,000. ooo.''

WORST IN YEARS.
Blizzard at Chicago Causes Consider
able Loss of Life.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Several deaths,
many injuries and much suffering
followed in the wake of one of the
worst billiards. experienced in this
section in several years. Traffic on
surface and suburban lines is practi-
cally tied up and down town hotels
are filled with residents of outlying
districts who found themselves unable
to reach their homes. The storm,
which broke early in the day, ragged
with increasing fury until nightfall,
subsiding somewhat toward midnight
One of the most tragic occurrences
in connection with the storm was the
wrecking in the harbor at Waukegan
Of the fishing boat Anspach in which
two men lost their lives and six others
had narrow escape from death. The
boat left the harbor early in the day
to visit nets set ten miles out in Lake
Michigan. Caught in the storm on
the return trip the vessels battled
with the elements until 1t regained
the harbor at 6 o'clock only to be
blown against a protection wall and
crushed. Captain Oliver Rubber, with
five men composing the crew were
thrown upon an ice pack, four of the
men succeeded in clinging to the ice
and were rescued. Two slid into the
water and were drowned.
At Hammond, Ind, two men blind
ed by the storm were run down by a
train and fatally injured. In the vi
cinity a woman overcome by expos
ure was found dying In the snow.
Little effort was made during the
night to remove the constantly drift
ing snow even in the business district
of Chicago and 1t was said by trans
portation officials that traffic would
be greatly impeded before the lines
can be cleared. The elevated lines
suffered less than any others and
maintained a fairly regular service.
The cars were heavily OYercrOWded.

BOY WHlSTLED AT HIM.
That Is Why John Cantillon Stabbed
William shore.

John Cantillon, who was arrested for
stabbing a North Topeka boy named
William Shore, was tried for insanity
in probate court this morning and con-
victed No evidence was necessary, al
though a number of witnesses were on
hand to testify. Cantillon harangued
the jury about matters of politics, and
could not be induced to keep still while
DIR. Ryder, who had examined the man,
was on the witness stand. Cantillon is
about the craziest specimen ever seen
running at large. One of his favorite
decisions is that the whistling of boys
has a "mesmerics7 effect on him, caus-
ing him great bodily anguish. The boy
he stabbed in the arm last Saturday
night, he says, had whistled at him.
