lessness During Christmas HOLIDAYS.

Insurance Commissioners f. II. Nc
Master has addressed circular let
ter to all the cities and towns of the
state urging them to take care during
the Christmas season that all precau-
tions against fire be used. He urges
that the merchants and house keepers

follows:
Columbia, S. c.,
December IA, 1911
Chief Ct Fire Department,
Laurcns, S. G.
Dear Sir:
if you will refer TO the papers or last
December, YOU will be struck by the
great number of fires, which occurred
from about December 18th to Decem-
ber 3lst. This is the usual occurance
for this season of the year.
Therefore, this is to ask YOU most
earnestly to have made an inspection
OF all premises in your town, so that
waste recommendations, which might
be set fire by careless handling of fire.
be removed.
| most respectfully urge that due
precautions be taken to eliminate the
use of fire works during the Christmas
holidays.
After the strain of business Incl
dent to Christmas trade there seems
to be letting down among the peo-
pie, and greater number of fires oc-
cur from neglect than usual
Your cooperation is respectfully
asked to the end that fire waste may
be reduced, and that fire insurance
may be ultimately made less.

tanned a silver watch and gofd fob
which he lost several days ago. The
watch was particularly desired be-

the STAR today and stated that
she read the "ad' and was desirous
of having the watch restored to it's
owner. A reward which was Of
fered by Mr.. Taylor was refused
by the woman, and she would only
accept the small amount of car
fare which she had expended.
Mrs. Burnell said: II am glad to
be able to return the watch, because

boy was all in the world to Mr..
Taylor. Mr. Taylor called at the
STAR office later and said:
II shall never forget the STAR
for the great favor it has done me
in securing the return of the watch.
The value was nothing compared
to the picture of the little lad which
was pasted on the inside. You have
proved to me the value of your

CAR VICTIM
CHICAGOAN
Does Not Know How He Arrived
in NeWark-Has Bank
Book.

The condition of Charles Dougherty,
56 years old, who was taken to the
City Hospital after being run down by
a Plank road trolley car, is today still
serious. 1t was learned that the man
came from Chicago several weeks ago,
where he was engaged in business. He
gained consciousness long enough to-
day to declare that he did not know
how he got to Newark. A handbook
of the Illinois Trust Company was
found in his possession and showed
that he had made a deposit of 500 on
November 29 1t also gave his address
as 3400 Prairie avenue.
The diagnosis at the City Hospital
Shows that Dougherty was suffering
from a fractured skull How he met
with the accident is an enigma The
crew of the work car plead ignorance
as to how the accident occurred. The
motorman of the car was Alfred Jones,
of SIS South Fourteenth street, and the
conductor, Angus Conklin, of 7S3 Ber-
gen street.
Tt is believed that the man came out
of the freight yard near the spot where
he was struck
Dougherty had been acting strangely
since coming to this city. Two nights
ago he was housed in the Kearny police
station He was taken there by a
patrolman, who found him near the
Hackensack bridge on the turnpike
road
