Fire Fighting in Peking Is More
Ludicrous than Effective
Brilliant Uniforms, Waving
Banners and Noisy Gongs
Unite in Distracting
Attention from
the Blaze.

From the Special Correspondent OF The Tribune
in Peking
Picking. Dec. 15.-Putting out fires Is ir
any country an important municipal ques-
ton and one attended always with consd-
cradle excitement aud uproar. but in China,
at least in Peklng the quenching Of flames
is accompanied by pandemonium and inde-
scribable agitation on the part of the popu-
lation and fire fighters. and is from West
ern point Of view perfectly ludicrous, as
well as ineffective.
There was recently fire here in the
yamen. or office. of the Board Of Ccre-
monies The FIRE came at a time when
Pekins was very much on edge, when a
revolutionary outbreak was momentarily OK
pected. and as revolutionary outbreaks arc
usually announced cr instituted by the out
break Of fires in official buildings, this fire
had particular significance and was attend
ed by more agitation than usual II was
probably accidental but at the time no one
IN Pekng thought -, and that night mighty
few people slept sondly.
PekifS depends OF hand pumps to throw
the water on FIRE They arc much the same
as the pumps which are used in many
small towns in America, although in dress
and action the Chinese fireman is far more
picturesque than any red-shirted volunteer
any American village ever saw When the
alarm FOR fire is sounded the various com
panies turn out with their pumps, which arc
on wheels. and rush off 10 their destina-
tion. Each company has its own uniform
and its own attendants.
Preceding the wildly excited, msdly dash
ing fire fighters, all dressed alike in company
uniforms. with their loose hung blouses Gov
cred with Chinese characters to show
whence they came, ere a number of runners
beating great gongs or carrying banners.
The gongs are supposed to drive away the
fire spirits The banners bear the name Of
the company 'of fremen.
The pumps vary somewhat in size Some !
times only half dozen men operate the /
affair, pushing and pulling the great lever !

Owing to the crowded condition OF u
criminal calendar of the Westchester
County Court there is talk of having a bill
introduced in the Legislature providing for
an additional county judge. William z.
Platt Is the county Judge, and he is Kept
busy month after month trying civil and
criminal cases, and yet there is still a
large number of prisoners in the county
Jail TO have hearings.
In order to help clear up the congested
calendar Justice Tompkins has agreed 20
hold criminal trials beginning January y
and continuing until District Attorney
Winslow has disposed Of a number OF cases
one murder trial and another case of at
tempted murder.
Now that the year 1911 is at an end Dis
trict Attorney Winslow and his staff OF
assistants have found that they have
handled more than thousand criminal
cases during the last year There has been
a continuous grand jury sitting throughout
the year. with the exception Of the months
Of July and August
During December Justice Tompkns tried
ten murder cases. all of which resulted In
convictions except one man, who was ac-
quilted.
