ALARMED
BY SHOCK

Although efforts were made to keep

the blast that shook Gary at 1923

from an explosion in the open hearth

into ladle containing a large quantity
OF water.
sharp explosion followed this piece
OF carelessness. and it was only
miracle that several were not killed
and injured. Hundreds of employees in
the big steel works heard the explo-
sion, but as yet do not know the pro-
ducing cause.
The blast that resulted very violent
and for a few minutes the nervous

were cutting some more capers. No
great damage was done by the explo-
sion.

Ter and Emmett Cole went out to the
good roads meeting last night at Kur-

ported resolutions to the effect that
this is question for each voter to

ping OF services, contrary to the usual
custom of the churches. The second
meeting was planned last summer and
the date made public in the early fall.
1t was the desire of the pastors to
have no conflict in the dates of the
meetings, but when the first and third
meetings were planned the conflict
arose from combination of circum.
stances known to the pastors con.
cerned and over which they had no
control
rhe fact of the conflict was and is
regretted, but after consultation it was
agreed to proceed according to the
above schedule.
We beg all our people to take note
of these dates and to unite together

ing of our Heavenly Father upon the

FEWER FIRES IN 1911
Johnson Gives Credit to Press
and Rigorous Inspection.

Tho great publicity given by the newspa-
n.rs IN methods of fire prevention and the
scheme Of rigorous inspection Of hazardous
nrouises have caused decrease In New
York'a fires during the last six months at
the ratio of 2i52 year. according To the
semi-annual report which Commissioner
Johnson made to the Mayor yesterday
The number of fires in the first six
months OF 1911 was 7,sl2, or at rate OF
a a day. This ratio would have meant an
increase over 1910 Of 1919 fires. AZ matter
Of fact the number OF fires from July to
December 20 1911, was 6,l4o. or at the rate
of 80 a day. Commissioner Johnson arrived
at his total estimate for the period by add
ing at the rate 36 fires day Tor the remain
ing eleven days Of the year, making hSsS
fires for the year. actually seven less for
1911 than for 1910.
Tho Commissioner rencws his plea for a
bureau OF fire prevention. and says that the
large number of inspections OF hazardous
premises has been made by members OF
the uniformed force in the absence and
anticipation Of such a bureau. The fact
that New York, on the figures OF 1910, had
200 fires for every 10000 inhabitants. Lon
Ion 81. Paris "A, Berlin 81, St. Petersburg 70
and Vienna 80. indicates, the Commissioner
says the possibility Of better preventive
work. 20
The further fact that there is fire loss
of dollar for every dollar expended by
the city on the Fire Department seems to
the Commissioner condition that should
be remedied. and he suggests that the city
spend 100000 a year on fire prevention and
cut the fire loss In two

WOMEN'S CLUB ROW ENDED
The Congressional Settles Status
g.. of Lame Ducks"
[From The Trlbune Bureau. ]

Washington, Jan 3.-After session
which lasted practically all day the Con-
gressional Club, composed Of the wires and
women relatives Of members Of Congress,
adjusted all differences and reach har-
monious agreement on certain minor
amendments to Its constitution.
The proposal TO eliminate from active
participation in the affairs of the club the
wives of ex-Senators and ex- Representatives
was rejected. The proposed amendment
would not only have deprived the relatives
of 'Iame ducks" of "a voice in the man
agement of the club but would have ex-
cI,ded as well several life members. As
among these, and even among the former
class, there are some OF the most valued
members of the club. II was decided to drop
the entire proposition. Those amendments,
all of minor Importance, which were agreed
on to-day will be finally voted on Feb
ruary /. To-day's meeting was free from
animosity
The social programme OF the club OBJ
viously aroused much greater interest
among a majority of the members than the
proposed changes in the constitution. After
a protracted discussion a social programme
was unanimously adopted.
