BETTER FIRE EQUIPMENT
OUTLYING DISTRICTS APPEAL
TO CHIEF WAGNER.
Motor Vehicles Would, in His Opin-
ion, Supply the Deficiency
in Part.

Need for motor-driven fire fighting ap-
paratus is shown in the request from two
outlying districts, Garfield and Cathedral
Heights, for better fire protection. In re-
porting TO the Commissioners Chief Wag-
ner says that the need for better fire pro-
lection in these sections is well known to
him, but with the facilities at hand and in
sight he has to give closest attention to
the more densely populated districts.
But If 1 had motor-driven vehicles"
said the chief. in talking to a Star re-
porter. Il could feel safe about these fires
in the outlying districts. 1t is a good
two miles from Garfield to the nearest
fire engine house. and We had to lend
that section a chemical engine and let
it organize an amateur fire department.
las an illustration of what motor
vehicle could do I recall that at a recent
fire one OF our companies had to run up
and down hill from Lanier to Chevy
Chase. 1t took 1t twenty-eight minutes,
nearly half an hour
Ruined Two Horses.
After that run we had to take two
horses away from that company and the
third We had to sell for s.. That run
simply ruined them. With motor-driven
apparatus the run could have been made
in seven minutes. I made the run in an
automobile in five minutes and fifty Sec
onds"
Of the two communities, Cathedral
Heights stands the better chance of get
ting more fire protection, according to
the chief. Owing to the several large
educational institutions in that section,
such as the Cathedral School for Girls,
the Washington School. American Uni
yersity and the immaculate Seminary,
the chief has had his eye on Cathedral
Heights and Is going to give it a larger
ladder an addition to the Tenleytown
chemical and hose outfit, Ii he can In
the next estimates he prepares he will
for that vicinity.
Meantime he has had Fire Marshal
Nicholson make quiet inspection of the
buildings belonging to the schools and
will make some recommendations as to
fire escapes very shortly.
Because. he says, fire protection
should begin at home.
Without Fire Plugs.
Out in Garfield, where a steam fire en-
CINE would be OF no use because that
useful little contrivance known as a fire
plug is missing, the chief says the hand
drawn two-wheel chemical engine which
he loaned to the volunteers over there
will quench any small fire or can hold
ii in check until the arrival of the large
horse-drawn chemical No ).
The citizens of Garfield set forth at
the recent meeting before the Commits
sioners that they are two miles from a
District fire engine company, and that
IL one had to reach them after Il thaw it
would probably sink up to the hub in
mud.

SUPREME COURT TO
PASS ON NEAR beer

Boise, July 27.- The quest on
of whether "near beer" can be sold
in ''dry" counties in Idaho will
soon be settled by the supreme
court. An early decision by the
court is anticipated on account of
the Importance of the issue in its
effect on property interests.
Hearing of evidence IN the mat
ter of the application of Jacob
Lockman for a writ of habeas cor
pus was gwen in the supreme court
Tuesday at the conclusion of which
the court took the matter under
advisement, and Lockman was re-
leased on his own recognizance.
The case in question IS in reality
test case to determine the merits
of the local option law, the petition
er Lockman, who is the proprietor
of the Crescent brewery at Nampa,
having been arrested on July 23 Oh
charge of selling intoxicating
liquors. A hearing was given in
the probate court of Canyon county
at Caldwell, which bound him over
to the district court in the sum of
$500. This bond Lockman re-
fused to deposit, and he was re-
manded to custody of the sheriff.
! The question before the court il
the Interpretation of section 81 OF
the session laws of 1909 which
reads: "Thel words Intoxicating
LIQUORS, as used III the act shall bt
deemed and constructed to include
spurious, vinous, malt and ferment
ed liquors, and all mixtures anc
preparations thereof, including bit.
ters and other drinks that may b.
used as a beverage and produce in
toxication.
The case cannot be compared
with similar cases that have beel
settled in other states where eithe
county option or statewide pro
: hlbition obtained, for the reason
!, according to the attorneys, tha
e the Idaho statute is different i
. essential features from the laws c
other states. The matter, there
J fore, has given rice to considerabl
y speculation on the part of attorney
l. and much interest attaches to th
Y coming decision of the suprem
% court.
