FIRE DEFENSE
 NOT ADEQUATE
Chief Fancher Says Yale Field Apparatus Couldn't Handle
 Real Blaze
Especial from United Press.) )

New Haven, Nov 29-The entrance of the local fire department in the discussion of adequate protection for the Yale Field stands. today, put a serious complexion on the talk of dan ger of a holocaust at a big game. since the slight blaze under the stands at the last Yale-Harvard game. Chief R. R. Fancher said:
 "'The present fire protection at the field amounts to absolutely nothing If a fire got started and there was any wind you could never stop it. There might be a chance with long lines of hose all around the stands and a powerful pressure. but there is no chance as matters stand now.''
 All the talk since the blaze that sent 6 thrill through those who knew of its existence at the big game has emphasized anew the want of a steel and cement stadium. Alumni from all parts of the country have written to the football management that the stadium is bound to come and that unless 1t does come there may be a fire which will result in appalling loss of life and the destruction of the pres ent stands. The football management is still waiting for the first man to say ''here is $500. 900. On with the stadium"

WHY TRUSTS ARE FORMED.

The Governments brief in the Sugar Trust case alleges that tf1e late HI. O. Havemeyer received 10,0O0,00O of the common stock of the National Sugar Refining Company of New Jersey as a bonus for taking four independ- ent concerns into the combina- ton.
 This is precisely why trusts arc fOrmed-not to effect economy in management, not to promote industrial efficiency, not to avoid the evils of excessive competi- ton, not to reduce prices; but to enable the insiders to make mill lions out of the deal.
 This is precisely why the Gov ernment will never prevent trust promotion by bringing equity suits to dissolve the corporation or to have receivers appointed. The offense in every case is per- Sonal; the profits are personal and the guilt is personal.
 If a few trust promoters and trust managers were sent to jail under the criminal clause of the Sherman law, the law would soon be respected; but it will never be respected while the corporation is punished and the individual goes free.-New York World.

Parson Tucker Goes Wrong.

The Rev. W. 8. Tucker is sought by the
county of Henrico. He is wanted to an
swer a charge Of attempting to enter a
residence for burglary.
He was caught, with keys. in an effort
to enter home in which there were no
occupants. He was placed in jail to await
trial on the charge.
Americas Dudley, a colored member of
his flock, went on his bail bond for $500
in order that Tucker might keep his ap-
pointment to preach.
Tucker had a bottle half filled with gin
in his pockets and he carried a rabbit
foot. That did not prevent his going to
Jail. 1t did serve, however, to bring him
freedom.
Now the court insists that Dudley pro-
duce his man in court or make good his
bond of $500 for the appearance of the
erring parson. A reward has been offered
for the apprehension of Tucker. Dudley
will lose the savings of a lifetime If he
fails to locate his erstwhile pastor.

siderable notoriety here about a year
ago, is again seeking a liquor license.

fused to grant a license when it was
shown that the law had been violated and
that minors had been drinking In the
place.
Later it was shown that young girls
had been served with liquors in the raths-
keller. The proprietor was fined for
these violations and his license was re-
voked. He made application for a re-
newal last year. but without success.

Broken by many hard weeks of more
than slavery on a Chesapeake bay oys-
ter boat. Harry Kennedy. originally from
Chicago, told story at the municipal
lodging house yesterday which can
scarcely be equaled If the whole world
Of hard luck and misery is raked clean.
His story is that he was dragged
aboard an oyster boat while drunk,
shanghaied, fed bad food. made to work
harder than galley slave, kicked, beat
driven to desperation time and time
again. and finally set ashore without
money and with scarcely strength enough
to walk.
Kennedy in Bad Shape.
He came to Washington Thursday. He
was in such bad shape yesterday that
when he met a policeman on Pennsyl-
vania avenue he begged for help.
The policeman promptly took him to
the municipal lodging house. There he
could not get through with the chore of
saving wood.
Kennedy has led rowing life. He is
only twenty-five years old now, and has
had as good an experience on the plains,
cow punching, as any dime novel lover
could wish for.
His parents both died in Chicago five
years ago. He Immediately hit for the
long grass and tied up to a ranch out
fit"
He got to be a cowboy. but discarded
the real ranch for Buffalo Bills show. He
lassoed his way with the rest of the out
tit as far across country as Richmond.
He left the show there and worked at
odd jobs, drifting north to Baltimore.
There he stayed for a while.

"One night 1 went out along the

he was tong man until too late, though.
