FAVOR PLAN FOR
FIRE PROTECTION
Long Beach Council Votes Ap-
provaI of High Pressure
Water System

LONG BEACH, Oct. S.-The city
council last night voted its approval
of the fire commissions recommended
tion that a high pressure water system
be established and the improvement
probably will be established in a short
time. AS proposed, the plant would
be located on a corner of the city
wharf property, and would be built
and the system installed at a cost of
$113, ,0S0.8S. 1t would resemble the
Oakland system, which is spoken of
highly.
The mains would be of fourteen-inch
cast iron. There would be eight hy-
drants. with three openings each, on
every block. The district proposed to
be protected by the new system lies
between American and Pacific avenues
on the south and Fifth street on the
north, with the additional territory ly
ing west Of Pacific and east of Chest
nut avenue, south Of Second street. This
takes In the business district. The
system could be extended to the man
ufacturing district also. The plans
have been approved already by the
board of fire underwriters. The fire
commission favors gas as the means
of furnishing power for the plant
The commissions action in formu-
latlng this report followed quickly
after the fire last Wednesday morning,
when the Pacific garage was de-
stroyed. This fire demonstrated the
necessity of more water pressure. The
report submitted to the council stated
that at the garage fire pressure OF
only twenty-seven pounds to the
square inch was obtainable from the
hydrants The proposed high pressure
system would insure a pressure of 200
pounds. The report also stated. I'VE
believe the high pressure system will
save the property owners from Is to 20
per cent of their insurance each year"

FRENCH ARMY BANISHES
LEATHER KNAPSACKS

PARIS, Oct. s.-The knapsack of
black leather mounted on a wooden
frame which the French infantry SOL
dier has carried hitherto, has been sup
pressed by order of Gen. Brun, minis
ter of war.
It is to be replaced by a new kind
Of knapsack made of brown sacking,
and will be carried much lower than
the old one, in the method adopted by
tourists in Switzerland. The old-fash-
toned knapsack was heavy and cost
So. The new one is light, and Will
only cost about $1.76.
One of the principal reasons for the
suppression of the old knapsack is
the impossibility for soldiers wearing
1t to have perfect freedom of move
ment, and, above all, to shoot in a
reclining position.
The new knapsacks will have no
stiff framework and will have supple
straps. They will not look as smart
on parade as the old ones, but they
will be a great deal more practical
and of lust as much use.

HISTORIC BUILDING
IS DAMAGED BY FIRE
Wilson School Saved from De-
struction by Blaze of Un-
explained Origin

PASADENA, Oct. 9.-The historic
Wilson school building at Marengo ave-
nue. and Walnut street was consider
ably damaged last evening by fire or
unexplained origin, and 1t is said the
quick work of the fire department Is
all that saved the structure, which has
often been referred to as fire trap.
It is thought the fire started in two
places in the basement under the en-
trance to the building. When the blaze
was extinguished a box of smolderlng
rags was found in one corner and a
box of decorating moss was stu smoK-
ing in the opposite corner The sup
position Is that the fire had its origin
in these boxes.
The damage was confined to what Is
known as the tower, which forms the
entrance to the building and extends
upward to the roof. Secretary Felker
of the board of education stated last
night that school will open Monday
morning as usual.
The Wilson school building is one or
the oldest in the city, having been con-
structed in 1887. 1t was named after
V. D. Wilson, a pioneer of Pasadena
who thirty-three years ago donated 10
the San Pasqual school district the
first school site in this city. 1t was
located In what is now the business
center of Pasadena, and when the site
was sold the proceeds were used 10
purchase the present Wilson site anu
construct the building.
The same building had a close call
shortly before school opened this fall
when fire from a painters torch caught
on the roof near the tower.
Members of the board of education
last night would make no statement as
to the peculiar conditions surrounding
Yesterdays fire. but number OF cltI-
1ens claim TO "smeIl" incendiarism ow-
ing tn the fact the Roosevelt school was
almost destroyed a month ago by a
blaze of unknown origin. and fire has
been discovered in other school build
ings from time to time during vaca-
tion periods, with no explanation OF

FIRE DESTROYS WAREHOUSE,
FARM TOOLS, HAY, 5 HORSES
Smoke flinders Firemen in Fight
Against Flames

REDLANDS, Oct. S.-Fire broke out
in the warehouse of the Cope CONNER
cial company today at noon, destroying
the building with It's contents, which
consisted of 300 tons of hay and straw
and farming implements. Five horses
were burned to death, despite an effort
to save them. The company is unable
to place an estimate on the loss at the
present time.
The smoke from the burning hay
hindered the firemen in their work, and
1t was with the greatest difficulty that
the flames were checked. The freight
depot of the Santa Fe, directly across
the railroad tracks from the warehouse,
was not damaged by the fire.
