RELIEVED FROM CENSURE.
Action of Fire Department in Fire
of October 81 Investigated.

BY the findings of an investigation
board submitted to Commissioner Macfar-
land today the fire department is relieved
of all censure in connection with its work
during the fire at 800 T street northwest
October 81 last, in which three children
lost their lives.
The charges were preferred by Rev ].
Milton Waldron. pastor of Shiloh Baptist
Church. In letter to the Commissioners
he said:
''It seems to the writer and to a number
of other citizens of Washington that the
fire department is guilty of gross neglect
of duty, if not of criminal negligence, in
the way it handled the fire at 800 T street
northwest at 1 pm Saturday, October 81
In this fire three little children, ranging
in age from two to seven years. were
burned to death, while the house In which
they lived was only slightly damaged
The investigation board, composed OF
Fire Chief Wagner Capt. O'Connor and
Capt. 0. T. Rosster. reports, after thor
Ough investigation:
1--WE find that there was no delay on the
part of the fire department in responding
to the fire referred to by DR.. Waldron
and that the officers and members Of the
department used all proper care and judg
ment in the handling of the said fire. We
believe therefore, that the fire depart
ment should not be censured in any par
ticular in connection with the work during
the fire at 800 street northwest October

TO REPEAL LOCAL OPTION Law
DEMOCRATS OF INDIANA PLAN
MING FOR EFFORT.
Apparent DISCRIMINATION, However,
fore House of Representatives.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, February g
Apparent disorganizatiCn at a time when
the democrats had expected TO make the
fight for the repeal of the county local
option law will, it is believed, prevent
the repeal bills from coming before the
house of representatives.
The kleckner bill. substituting the
democratic platform plan of township
and ward option. which had been agreed
upon in caucus, has been expected TO
come before the house on second read
ing for two days. but the activity of
friends OF the Tcmlinson bill, substitut
ing town and city option. is delaying the
test of strength.
Fifty-one votes are necessary to pass
the kleckner repeal bill, and the demo-
Gratis had depended upon fOrty-nine OF
their party to vote for it. ten democrats
opposing the repeal of the present law.
When 1t was found, however. that Repre-
sentative Durham had joined the ranks
of the anti-repealers it was apparent that
three republican votes would be neces-
sary to pass the caucus bill
The democrats, uncertain of the neces-
Sary republican votes, and fearing the
bill substituting the democratic plan
would be killed by the republican SEN
ate, then looked to the TomlinsOn bill.
The town and city unit of this bill, they
believe, will not be so offensive to re-
publicans. At conference of house
and senate democratic leaders last even
sidered. This bill is intended to confine
saloons to incorporated towns and cities.

former and $500 for the latter

DENIAL FROM DIR. VAUGHAN.
Famous Knee-Joint Grating Opera
ton Made in Regular Manner.

In short statement made to a Star
reporter this morning DR.. George Tully
Vaughan emphatically denied that he and
others of the Georgetown University Hos
pitai staff had acted in an irregular man.
ner in performing the now famous knee
joint grating operation at that hospital.
DR.. Vaughan said: ''Insinuations that
the patient at Georgetown University Hos
pital from whom the joint was cut did not
receive every care and attention during
his illness, and that every effort was not
made to cure him, and, Furthermore, the
statement that consent was not obtained
for the removal of the joint after death
were entirely false and without founda-
ton"
Further than this Dr. Vaughan would
not go. He said he would never have
made a statement concerning the case
had il not been for the fact that err
roneous reports concerning it were pub
lished.
Concerning the condition Of the patient.
George A. Kelly, upon whose leg the
joint taken from the leg of Hans Al
brecht, after the latters death. was graft
ed, DR.. Vaughan said that he was doing
well, but that any predictions for the
mans future condition made at this time
would be premature.

POLICE AS PROSECUTORS.
Horse Owners Want Cruelty to
Animals Law Changed.

delegation of the Horse Owners Mu-
tual Protective Association called on Maj
Sylvester and exhibited bill which they
stated is to be presented to Congress to
have the law relating to cruelty to ami
mails changed.
The horse owners desired to get the CON-
sent of Maj. Sylvester to having the law
changed so that the duty Of enforcing the
regulation could be placed in the hands
Of the police. The chief objection made
by the association is that officers and
members of the Humane Society push
cases in the Police Court with a great
deal more vigar than is necessary, be-
cause they say the fines go to the society.
The delegation left with the assurance
from Maj. Sylvester that he would in
vestigate the matter.
