FIREMEN MEET
AT JAMESBURG
Consider Several Criticisms
Against the Department.

~Jamesburg, Feb f4.-The reg
uiar monthly meeting OF the local
fire department held at headquarters
Monday was a of the most inter
esting and largely attended In some
months. This latter fact was forci-
bly, demonstrated In the nomination
for the office of first assistant chief
of the department Harry Lakerson,
the present chief, was unanimously
chosen and the real contest or the
night was waged between Charles
Richards, Edward A~pplegate and
mated after a hot battle.
Much criticism vas heard con-
corning small attendance of fremen
at the fire of the Pownall Iron foun-
dry Saturday night that this matter
was given due prominence at Mon
day nights meeting of the depart
ment Members present who had
failed to respond to the alarm ex-
eused their absence with the plea
that they failed TO hear tn efire bell.
Chief Lakerson suggested that the
department appoint a committee to
see IL they could not recommend
some sort of alarm that could be
heard at least in the borough. Con-
dit M. Dawson, Harry Lakerson and
Elmer e. Diblfn were appointed to
bring the matter before the fire
committee of the council.
Now that the Public Service Gas
Company is about to lay their mains
through the town the suggestion was
offered that a pipe be erected on top
of the present sixty-five foot alarm
and connected with the gas main to
operate a siren whistle. Foreman
Charles Richards suggested the pur-
chase OF additional red and white
lanterns and rubber coats. Chief
Lakerson was made a committee of
one to place this matter before the
town fathers. Chief Lakerson also
reported his attempts to get council
to install some sort of an electric
fire alarm through the town 80 that
when an alarm is given the engineer
at the wafer works pumping station
would know the hremen were at
work, He said he laid this matter
| before the councfimen, but as yet
no action has been taken On Am
The fact that 1t took the depart
ment eighteen minutes to run a
QAEhd1A0 ia IT 4tttiC OfHN u AAai
mile and attach the hose to the plug
at Lower Jamesburg the afternoon
OF the fire In Monahan's laundry
also brought criticism on the slow
ness of the department. Albert
Rogers explained this by stating
that the men were told the fire was
out before the men reached the
blaze and they purposely took their
time.
Chief Iakerson advised the men
that when the opportunity presented
Itself for practice tbs men shoNfd
avail themselves OF the opportunity.
It was also suggested that the men
learn the location of the plugs By 8
personal tour OF the town. Al lack
OF knowledge OF their location was
shown also at the Pewnali fire. Ii
was suggested that q small map OF
the town be drawn and q copy given
to each member This Was not con-
sidered.

One day of freedom after two years
confinement in the penitentiary proved
too much for w. Z. Sweeney, who was
paroled yesterday morning, and last
night he was arrested, charged with
carrying concealed weapons and also

the city Jail and was today returned
to the penitentiary, where he will be
held a short time and then given an
other trial If he proves repentent.
Sweeney was sentenced to a term of
from six months to five years for rob-
bling box car at Standpoint, where he
and two others stole 6 barrels of
whiskey. The others implicated in the
crime were never caught, but Sweeney
was sent up. He was good prisoner
at the penitentiary, but yesterday after
a few drinks of whiskey, he became
noisy, purchased a revolver and box
of shells and shortly afterwards fell
into custody.

DOC SAVED A LIFE
Awakened NeighbOrs Who
Rescued Woman From Fire.
Early Morning Blaze at J. p.
Howe Home, 519 Lincoln.

In all probability the barking of. a
dog in the house of a neighbor saved
the life of Mrs. Girard. a nurse living
with the ]. P. Howe family at 519 Lin
coin street early this morning. The
dog. seeing the flames in the roof of
the Howe house, awakened the AtWeel
family at 511 Lincoln street. A. j.
AtweeH rushed to the burning house
and saw Mrs. Girard asleep in the
bedroom with the roof burning over
her head and plaster and burning en-
hers falling around her in the bed
room. She was rescued by neighbors
and taken from the house through the
bedroom window.
Mr.. and Mrs. Howe were out of the
city.
The fire starting from defective wir-
ing practically destroyed the Howe
home. Costly furniture and valuable
relics gathered by Mrs. Howe were
burned. The loss on the house will
be $500 and at least $500 on the fur
niture.
The fire spread to the two-story frame
dwelling owned and occupied by J. A
Fisher, at 523 Lincoln street. When
fire companies arrived the entire broad
side of the Fisher house was in flames
1t was extinguished before II had
spread to the interior. The damage to
