FIRE MARSHAL PROVISION
PLEASES INSURANCE MEN

Oklahoma City, April 5.-That the
creation of the office of state fire mar
shal by the last legislature will ma
terially reduce the fire losses Of Ok
lahoma. especially those of incendiary
origin, Is the belief of insurance men
generally, including C. T. ingalls,, man
ager of the Oklahoma inspection bu-
reau. The power aud duties of that
state official are such that he is ex-
pected to greatly improve insurance
conditions in the state and possibly
reduce the rates.
The powers of the marshal are to
inspect and investigate all fires of in
cendiary origin and those with ap-
pearances of criminal carelessness,
also to have general supervision power
over fire districts in cities, and to see
that the insurance and fire prevention
laws are enforced.
One of the his duties will be to see
that all buildings are kept in repair,
that no fire traps are used for indus
tries which employ a great number
of people and that such buildings as
theaters and public places have proper
exits and are properly constructed.
One of the most important duties,
which has particularly distinguished
the work of fire marshals in other
states, is the investigation of incen-
diary fires. About fifteen other states
have department of state fire mar
shal, and five others give the insurance
commissioner the authority of a fire
marshal In all of these the number
of incendiary fires has decreased
greatly since the creation Of the de-
partment. This is not accomplished
easily.
There are three classes of fire bugs,
that is, people who deliberately set
fire to buildings They include those
who burn for revenge. those who burn
for insurance money and those who
burn to satisfy diseased excitement,
the pyromaniac. And they. of all Grim
inals, are the hardest to convict, be-
cause they work without accomplices,
take away nothing, that will point to
them as guilty. have no tools which
give evidence, and II most cases can
arrange the starting of the blaze as
even to prove an alibi
But when all the suspicious circum-
stances surrounding fire are reported
to the fire marshal and he spends his
time investigating them circumstantial
evidence usually can be produced to
fix the guilt Another effect in re-
ducing the number of fires is the fact
of the existence of the department,
which tends to deter the criminal from
committing the act
In Ohio, there have been more con-
victions of fire bugs during the ten
years since the department of fire
marshal was established than during
the whole hundred years preceding
its creation Much the same thing is
true in other states that have the
state marshal The benefits of the

LOVE WILL OPPOSE ANY
RAILROAD AMENDMENT

Oklahoma City. Okla, April 3d.
Jack Love, chairman Of the CORPORA
tion commission, win resist the repeal
of article 9, section of the state con-
stitution relating to the construction
of railroads in this state.
This was the information made pub
lie Tuesday morning when Col. Love
stated that while personally against
the repeal, yet the corporation com
mission would express no opinion and
that any interest which might be taken
in the campaign would be personal
and individual action of the members.
He points out that he opposes the
repeal because he believes that If the
domestic roads should come under the
control of the foreign lines, they
would have the advantage of resist
ing the powers of the commission to,
obtain information relative to their
cost of construction, operating rev.
enues and expenses in the event that
the federal courts should reverse or
ders of the commission.
1t would further permit the trans
fer of personal injury suits to the fed
eral courts. Domestic pipe line COM
panies would also be absorbed by
foreign corporations, and open a chan
mel BY which Oklahoma gas would
probably be piped to other states. Ii

Washington, d. c., April 5.-Presi-
dent Taft today transmitted to con-
gress a message urging early action
on the reciprocity agreement with
Canada. He stated that he based this
message in Difference to popular senti-
ment and duty to the great masses of
the American people.
The message follows:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentarives:
/ transmitted to the Sixty-first con
gress on January rs last, the text OF
the reciprocity trade agreement which
had been negotiated under my direc.
ton by the secretary of state with
the representatives of the Dominion
of Canada.
This agreement was the consuma-
tion of earnest effort, extending over
a period of nearly year, on the part
of both governments to effect a trade
arrangement which, supplementing as
it did, the amicable settlement of var
ious questions of a diplomatic and
political character that had been
reached would mutually promote com.
merce and would strengthen the
friendly relations now existing.
The agreement in it's intent and in
the terms was purely economic and
commercial. While the general sub
ject was under discussion by the com.
missioners I felt assured that the sen.
timent of the people of the United
States was such that they would
weigh a measure which would result
in the increase of trade on both sides
of the boundary line, would open up
the reserve productive resources of
Canada to the great mass of our own
consumers on advantageous condi-
tions, and at the same time offer a
broader outlet for the excess product
of our farms and many or our indus
tries.
Details regarding a negotiation of
this kind necessarily could not be
made public while the conferences
were pending. When, however, the
full text of the agreement, accompany
ing correspondence and data explain
ing both its purpose and it's scope be-
came known to the people through the
message transmitted to congress, it
was Immediately apparent that the
ripened fruits of the careful labors of
the commissioners met with wide
spread approval. This approval has
been strengthened by further consid-
Grafton of the terms of the agreement
