DEMONSTRATION GIVEN
 OF NEW FIRE ESCAPE Bremen Descend from Top Floor of Shannon BaiIdine. Quickly and Safely.

On the Main street side of the Shannon huildihgson Thursday after noon about 4 o'clock, Chief Howard L. Stanton of the fire department gave a demonstration for the public benefit of a new form of fire escape, the Davy. which is easily portable and can be attached in minute or two to a window sill ready for use This kind of fire escape can be carried on the truck. and be used much more eff Actively, it is expected, than any other form of portable fire escape.
 Having been trying it at the head quarters building previously, Chief Stanton took several of the men of the department to the Shannon build ing for the public test. The apparatus consists of a small steel cable operat- ing through a friction device, which tain speed, no matter how great the weight it carries. It lowers at the rate of five feet per second
 A big crowd was attracted to watch the demonstration. David Fitzgerald, James Scullion and Charles H. Culver were the fireInen who showed how the apparatus worked, demonstrating how quickly they could be saved from the fifth story of the Shannon building. The fire eseape was hitched to the window sill there and Fireman F.tz- gerald and Scullion in turn climbed out on tHe WlnOOW SlH. Hdl1HS HTSt put the wide end of the rope under their arms. Fireman Fitzgerald was first to swing clear of the building and come to the ground. The cable is double ended so that while he was coming down the other end was go- ing up with it's loop ready for Fire man Scullion. He also made the de- scent in safety, the apparatus work ing smoothly. After one or two more trials with the two men as the prin- cipa1s, it was next shown how a fire man could easily swing down in front of window. pull a person out there and slide on in safety to the ground with the double load. Fireman F'itz- gerald slid out of the fifth story win dow, landed on the sill at the fourth story, where he picked up Fireman Culver and the two slid to the ground together without the machine show ing any greater speed of descent through the extra weight.
 The test was satisfactorily carried out and Chief Stanton may decide to equip a truck with one of these. He says the escape was demonstrated at the Syracuse convention as especially applicable to hotels, but Chief Stan ton sees how it's use could be extend- ed as an adjunct to the regular de- partment. It could be fitted to the window sill. the edge of roof, or to the top rung of ladder, enabling the freren to send people down at double the rate they could carry them down With man on the window sill to pass the people out. they could be got to the ground at the rate of one per minute.
