That IL egitation carried on by
certain conservationists against the
Christmas tree has no leg to stand
on. Is the opinion OF Henry :.
Graves, chief forester of the United
States. The we'll meaning persons
behind the crusade point out TIT
each year between 100000 young ced-
ars. spruces. frs and pines are sac
rificed to give a few days pleasure
to the country.
THE cutting of Christmas trees Is
perfectly compatible with the well
fare of the forest" says Mr.. Graves.
I'm fact, when 1t Is done Intelligent
". 1t is an actual means Of improv-
ing the forest and a means of bring.
ing a legitimate revenue from it".

Talk of "Rotten" Work.

Speaking of the fire. Mr. Gauthier, the
owner of the building. said this morn
ing that he estimated the damage to the
building to be in the neighborhood of
$500, and to the furniture about ST.
900 dollars The entire roof of the
building was inexcusably destroyed
and the interior of the residence is
considerably damaged by water The
night was beautiful. There was not a
breath OF air string and th,. depart
inents were absolutely unhandicapped
by the elements.
Neighbors helped the occupants to
get out as much furniture as possible
Bridge residence nearby. A citizen is
said to have helped or showed the fire.

The scenes at the blaze We're such as
may be witnessed at any little town
where there is no organized fire de-
partment.
What Mr.. Gauthier Says.
When my attention was first called
to the fire said Mr. Gauthier this
morning. there were apparently only a
few shingles burning on the roof. 1 do
not know the cause some saying it
others said Il was due to the chimney.
! The alarm was turned in and / hurried
to the garret but the fire must have
been all on the outside at this time for

but ! was told that twenty-one minutes
elapsed from the time the departments
arrived until they had water on the
roof. | am satisfied that there was no
excuse for such a big loss. for only a
few shingles were burning by the time
the departments arrived. 1t was a poor
piece of work, that is all / have to say
No Excuses To BE offered.
1T was rotten, and there was no ex-
cuse for it,, said Mr. Blackmun this
morning in commenting on the conduct
of the fire department.
Scores of citizens, practically all the
| spectators to a man are equally strong
in their denunciations- One Webb
street man was downtown saw the start
of the blaze thought il was his own

Arrived Promptly.

Nobody questioned the promptness
with which the departments answered
the alarm, nor is any fault found with
the mechanical equipment that the city
has for fire fighting purposes 1t was
simply a lack of preparedness; the
need of better acquaintance with
hydrants. The Ruhstadt fire on the
same street about two years ago show
ed a similar situation, and it was near
ly IS disastrous. At that time much of
the cause of the trouble was laid to the
location of the fire hydrant The
hydrant stands on the inside sidewalk
line 16 feet from the curb, and in this
location it requires two sections of
engine hose. Since the Ruhstadt fire
the hydrant has been raised. but it still
stands in the same place whereas it
should have been moved to the curb. as
pointed out by THE TIMES two years
ago.
The entire loss is covered by insur-
ance. the Hammond Savings and Trust
company being the agent for the COM
pany. which had covered the house with
$500 while the J. s. Blackmun Co.
is the agent for a company which COW
cred the furniture with 1920 insur-
ance.

G. Gauthier, of Enterprise
Bed Co., Suffers $4,000
Loss When It Shouldn t
Have Been Over $1OO, at
Disastrous Blaze.

A disastrous fire on Christmas eve at
"a Webb street, in the home of c.
Gauthier, one of the officials of the En-
terprfse Bed company of Hammond. has
brought heaps of criticism upon the Of
ncers of the Hammond fire departments
particularly Nos and for amateur
ish work and lack OF discipline. Tax
payers were amazed at the bunglesome
efforts of the fremen. who. while work
ing life fiends to stop the blaze fell
all over themselves and acted like a lot
of volunteers.
From 500 to 700 Homewood specta-
tors who saw the fire in its various
stages, assert that the loss should not
have been above 500. whereas in fact,
1t Will amount to possibly more than
81 1000.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1912-12-26

The specific complaints against the
departments are that more than fifteen
minutes elapsed after their arrival be-
fore water was playd on the fire; that
there was an absolutely uncalled for
delay in making hose connections from
the engine to the water plug that the
department. failed to make a timely
application of the chemical; that the
water from one lead on top of the
building had to be temporarily shut
off just after ii had been turned on, be-
cause of a faulty nozzle; that the fire
men lacked discipline and that there
were not enough fire men on the Job
There was more water poured into the
street and yard than on the fire
