POLICE HUNTING
FAKE ALARMISTS
Two Fake Calls Sent in to the
Fire Department Last Night
Shortly After Rain.
APPARENTLY WAS A "JOKE'
No Signs of Blaze at Either Place
When Wagons Arrived There
After Runs.

Two false alarms coming from
two boxes located close to each other
were received last night by the fire
department and today as a result
the police are working to find the
perpetrators OF the acts which may
iook like a kidding" proposition
from one standpoint but certainly
have a serious aspect from all other
views. Chief of the department,
George Newberry, suspected when
the first alarm was turned in and it
was learned that there was no fire,
that someone was trying to pull of
a joke. He was certain of that fact
when the second false alarm was
turned in an hour later.
IS DANGEROUS PROCEEDING.
The first call came from Box No
81 at Twenty-Sixth street and Fifth
avenue and the second call came
from Box No SO at Twenty-seventh
street and Seventh avenue. The
first was at 1890 and the second at
11:4O. Not only does the turning
in of false alarm purposely. jeopar-
die the property of citizens of Rock
IshSnd, but it necessitates consid-
cradle unnecessary work. Then. too,
there is always the possibility of an
accident when the fire department

Should the police apprehend the
culprits. the law will be enforced to
the limit and the fine placed on
them will be the maximum provided.
