Autos Damage Park Roads.

NEW YORK, December 3O.AThe dam
age caused to the roads in Central Park
by the ever-increasing automobile traffic
will necessitate an expenditure by the
city of nearly $4,000 during the next
five years, according to the report OF the
park commissioner to the board of es-
innate. 1t is the opinion of the COM
missioner that the material now used
for paving the roads will never be able
to Withstand the onslaught of the heavy
touring cars. All the park roads. he de-
clares must be rebuilt with material
which will Withstand the use of chains
as well as other phases Of heavy usage

Altogether it was a fine miX-up. How

The plumbers pulled down a curtain to
cut off twO-blOck view Of their gas

FIRE THAT WASN'T FIRE;
ENGINES IN WILD CHASE
Gas Jet Flame Mistaken for
Blaze in Western High
School.

Some. carpenters working on the first
floor OF the Western High School this
morning were rudely awakened from
their mechanical labors by large COM
pany Of roughly clad firemen. who burst
in without sending up their visiting cards
and demanded to know just where the
fire was.
The carpenters said they would be
dinged if they knew, and intimated that
the frenen were q collection of indi-
vidual NUTS.
There was not time to banter words.
so the firemen went OH upstairs and
found some plumbers. All the plumbers
knew about a fire in the building was tho
fire al the end of a blpwpipe which they
were using in their work.
More Firemen Arrive.
Meantime more firemen came, and large
crowds of excited Georgetown citizens
and hordes of Georgetown children ran
down the historic streets as if their
lives depended on beating the fire ap-
paratus to it's goal.
Capt. Harper. who commands truck ),
Just south of and diagonally across from
the Western High School, was out In the
back yard tending to his three beehives,
wondering if the bees were sufficiently
supplied with honey for the winter, and
suggesting some one go get a few bottles
when he heard the automatic alarm
strike one-two-seven-eight. That called
out No. engine company, three-quarters
of a mile away, and had been sent in ON
Il local alarm.
Capt. Harper Waited.
Capt. Harper stood out In front of his
house and waited. Along came No en-
CINE, with horses putting after a stiff I'D
hill run.
Hey" shouted Capt Harper, where's
the fire?'
Western High School," yelled the
driver.
Gee, that's funny" thought Capt. Har-
per, SO he got his own company out and
ran to the school, which. as has been
shown. was only across the street, dag
onally.
Chief Wagner was at Dupont Circle in
his red notwithstanding fire automo-
bile. foreman told him that IAN en-
CINE had gone by on a second alarm for
the Western High School," The chief
had with him Ralph Pratt, Commissioner
Johnstons private secretary. and a Star
reporter
Beat it, the chief directed Moxley,
the death daring, speed smashing expo
nent of how to get to a fire in an automo-
bile. And Moxley beat it!
In Wild Chase
Ralph Pratt rang the big gong and
Monkey turned on the ratchetty horn,
soaring people, horses, dogs and wagons
all along street. The tears ran out of
everybOdys eyes. and the wind whistled
like it whistles through the shrouds of q
schooner in a storm at sea. 1t was sixty
miles an hour, even around turns, with
out Slack-up or a skid. = -
When the chief got to the Western High
School the engines were going home.
Capt. Harper's crew was in the truck
house already scrubbing down the truck
tale. 1t seems that some one had seen
the aforesaid plumbers gas jet burning
from a distance of two blocks. The per-
son. actuated entirely by good motives,
called up Main 5000, fire headquarters
telephone number.
