SEEK TO GUST THE
FIRE COMMISSION
H0stIers Allege Increase of Pay
Was Wrongfnlly Withheld
From Them
Members of the Board in Con-
ley's Court to Defend Their
Positions

The petition of Elmer Hoyt. formerly
a hostler in the employ of the fire de-
partment. to oust the fire commission
ers from office was heard by Judge
Conley yesterday. Hoyt claims the
board wrongfully discharged him in
May last without trial. The defense
TO this charge, as stared by Assistant
City Attorneys George Lun and ]. -
English, was that Huyt was but tenn
porary employe of the department and
not entitled to a trial
second count accused the commits
sioners of having refused to raise the
pay of the hostlers from $S5 a month
to 500 month in accordance with the
terms of charter amendment adopted
in 1907.
AS defense to this charge the attor-
neys for the city Introduced evidence
that the hostlers originally were paid
500 month, that remuneration having
been fixed by the charter. but that in
July, 1905, at the request of the hostlers
themselves, their position was changed
to that of stablemen, with a salary of
SIS, and later SIS. When the charter
raised the pay of hostlers to s100 the
commissioners took the position that
there were no ''hostlers" in the depart
ment, but only "stablemep" and re-
fused to give them the increase In
March of this year, however, City At
torney- Long decided the men were
hostlers, and the higher remuneration
has since been paid
Hoyt, who is represented by Attor-
ney Daniel O'Connell, is suing for
writ of mandate to compel the board
to reinstate him and pay him the differ
ence between SIS and 500 a month
from the date of the charter amend
ment. The city takes the position that
Hoyt and the other hostlers were
wrongfully paid SIS and sS5 a month
before the charter amendment, and
therefore are not entitled to the extra
SIS month held out from them since
the amendment until last March The
entire matter has been submitted to
Judge Conley on briefs.

REALTY MEN URGE AID IN

Two propositions of interest to real
estate men were acted upon by the Sa n
Francisco real estate board yesterday.
The first of these was to enlist, if pos
sible, all the leading owners of local
real estate in the effort to raise $165. 900
to buy the site at Van Ness avenue and
Bay street for a nationaI guard armory,
on which structure to cost S450,000
viii be erected, conditional upon the
purchase of the lot by the citizens. No
time was lost in adopting a resolution
to invite property owners to cooperate
with the board in this work
The second proposition was in rela-
tfon to the appearance to be made in
behalf of q fair assessment of San
Francisco realty and other property.

also the National Fire Protection as
sociation, and more recently the Ma
tional Credit Mems association have
agitated the subject.
Public Realizes Need at Last.
1T is believed that the significance
of the facts thus disseminated Is
gradually impressing itself upon mt-
nicipaI authorities. State leglsla-
lures. and the general public. The In
surance publications and the daily
press have recently been active in thet
direction, and leading magazines have
produced readable articles tending to
a better understanding of the subject
from an economical point OF view.
The necessity for remedial measures
is more generally recognized than ever
before.
Evidence of this is seen in the
number of state fire prevention assocl-
ations which have been formed, whose
objects are to secure safe building
laws and other protective legislation
calculated to conserve property. In
some states, conventions of fire COM
missioners of several cities nave
been held with like objects in view.
The fire chiefs, both in their nauonai,
and state conventions, have shown
themselves alive to the Importance OF
cooperating to the same end. In
twenty states provision is now made
for the investigation of causes OF fire
through state fire marshals or other
officials with power to eXan3ne. under
oath, enter premises, and MAKE ar
rests where crime is suspected. An
other movement has been inaugurated
in the state of Ohio under the so-called
Reed law, passed in April, 1908, which
requires that in every public, private,
or parochial school thirty minutes in
each month shall be devoted during
school hours to the instruction of pu-
pills between the ages of six and four
teen years in drills and means to
avoid fire dangers
About fifty representatives OF as
many fire and marine insurance COM
panies were present at the meeting,
which was the forty-third.

our undemocratic Capital.

Clinton Rogers Woodruff in Atlsa-
tic. -Washington, the capital city OF
our nation, instead of affording, as
it should, the most striking model OF
self-government in the whole country,
is as a matter of fact most horrible
example of 'ust the reverse. The city
has a fair measure of good govern
ment, but it is not democratic good
government 1t is imposed upon the
city 1t does not come as the self
conscious deliberate effort of the
people who are affected. Congress
governs the city absolutely, and the
people have nothing to say about the
personnel Of their governors or the
form of their government. The presi-
dent, by and with the advice of the
senate, determines one, and congress
che other. w never hear of charter
reform in Washington, except when,
congress or the president starts the
discussion; and this ex-President'
Roosevelt has done, appointing not
a charter convention of residents, but
an expert from New York in the per
son Of James Bronson Reynolds.
There are few better equipped men
for the task, but the recommendation
are his, not those of the people whose
interests are involved.

Here is an additional annual cost
lions beyond the direct cost. Besides
this should be considered the losses
resulting from business interruption
following fires, which cannot be esti-
mated even approximately, and the
cost to states and municipalities from
the plotting out of taxable values
over a quarter of a billion of dol
lars, $269,200s412, is the average an
nual fire loss in the United States for
the last five years,t the total for that
period having been $1,346,002, 059.
This means the destruction of nearly
three-quarters of a million, $737 ,535,
for each day of the five years. 1t is
true that within that time occurred
two unusual CONGREGATIONS, but taking
the last two years by themselves,
there was a loss of $215,0S4,709 in
1907, and $217,S85,S5O in 1908, indi.
eating that the annual destruction of
values is likely to continue above the
two hundred million mark
For the first three months of this
year, it amounted to nearly flfty-three
millions, giving no promise of i'm
provement. These figures do not in
clude the loss from the burning of for
ests, nor do they take into account the
indirect loss of fires, such as the ex-
pense to the public of maintaining fire
departments and water works. which

it had for years persistently pointed
to the seriousness of the situation.
During the past year your president

Yes, know the word, and no one

Give it to me, and let me try and

back to her.
She took it and shifted the teeth
to and fro.
"Oh, / can't make any sense of it!

murmured Mrs. Dalton.

They all laughed, as in duty bound

smile, the marquis put the key in the
lock.

Lucille treated the whole matter As
an amusing incident, with no serious
meaning; but in the aftertime every
word that was spoken came back tc
her with the vividness of lightning.

The marquis accompanied, escort
ed them as far as the entrance of the
Court, but would not accept Lucille's
invitation to go and get some tea. He
vas too wise to force his advantage
or 70 make the running too quickly.
He had done well that day, had got
her forgiveness, and had actually en-
ticed her within his house He
would be satisfied for the present.
But before the six months were past
he would have her in his graspi And
SO he betook himself to the lonely
hail, leaving the ladies to talk over
their visit. Marie Werner declared
that she had not enjoyed herself so
much in her life and that she should
never forget the plate in that myster-
ioUs closet if she lived to be hum
dred.
Lucille had scarcely reached the
corridor on her way to her own
rooms, when Susie ran up after her.

and as l have been exercising the

noon than it would be at any other
time, I suppose had better 60" said
Lucille. with effected indifference.
She went up to her room and sum-
moned Susie, and with her assistance
got into her habit. She was glad
that the quadrangle was at the back
of the house, and that she could
reach it unseen by Marie or Mrs. Dali
ton, and she went down the second
staircase quite gingerly for fear OF
meeting either of them
AT the bottom of the steps she saw
the tall, stalwart figure, standing be-
side the horses. and, strange to say
why, she could not have told-her
courage came back to her, and she
walked towards him as if she had
been in the habit of riding in the Row
every day since she was fourteen.
He looked up, and light crossed
ais face swiftly at sight OF her, ana
with the bride Of his horse siung
over his left arm he held her stirruo.
But. how am I to get I'D there"
she demanded. pointing to the stir
