On the contrary at no period OF

seemed to combine to compel

they dealt blow TO the navy by adopt

offered by Representative Burnett Of
Alabama, and was adopted by large
ma ajority.
Tht Burnett amendment was carried
by the same vote as the Fitzgerald reso-
luton, 9S to IS. All the leaders of the
House, including Champ Clark. Oscar
Underwood and Representatives Burle-
son. James and Sulzer. voted for the
amendment
AS soon as the result Of the vote pro-

UNION JACK ON PALMYRA

Great Britain intended to take posses

group Of fifty islets). lying about six
hundred miles southwest Of Hawaii and
almost in a direct line between Australia
and the Panama Canal. resulted in the
subject being made a matter of inquiry
unofficially at the State Department to-
day. Officials professed ignorance Of
any issue being raised as TO the owner
ship of the island, but admitted that the
title was vague.
Palmyra Island was discovered in 1882
by an American shpmaster, was pro
claimed part of the Kingdom of Hawaii
in 1889 and was annexed by Great Brit
ain in 1889. The question at issue IS
whether the British annexation can

LOCOMOTIVES
FIGHT FIRES
Pennsylvania Railroad Equip
612 Engines Accordingly.

Steam railway locomotives as fire
fl fighters have proved so eficacious
on the Pennsylvania railroad that
that company has equipped 6l2 en-
gines with special apparatus for use
In case of fire. This fact came Out
today in a notice issued by the
company.
The special fire fighting apparatus
consists Of pumps and hose attached
to switching engines regularly used
in switching cars. The crews OF
these engines are systematically
trained as fire fighters to put out
promptly any fires that might oc-
cur in the hundreds of cars out OF
reach of city fire departments.
The yards are divided into dis
tricts, numbered as are fire alarm
boxes in cities. When a fire is dis
covered the nearest switch tower is
notified and alarm whistles are
blown throughout the yard limits.
By a coSs4of signals, engineers OF
locomot4 es within the yard can tell
from the whistles just where the
fire is.
Each engine is ~uncoupled from
its draft of cars as Don as the lat
ter can be placed where they will
not obstruct main tracks. Yard
masters and train directors give ne
cessary orders to provide a clear
track to the scene of the fire. AL
most before the locomotives are I'M
coupled, signals are set indicating
the routes by which to reach the
fire, and by the time they arrive the
crews have pumps numbered ready
to work and hose ready to unreel.
In the fire organization the assist
ant yardmaSter acts as chief and
gives general directions both in fire
fighting and in drills. The conduct
or of each train crew acts as fore
man Of that crew, the iagman looks
after unreeling and connecting the
hose and the two brakemen act as
nozzlemen and direct the stream.
At a fire which occurred near the
gas tank under a passenger car, the
first engine was coupled up ready to
act within two minutes after the
alarm was sounded, while within
seven minutes nine engines were on
the scene.
The locomotives equipped for fire.
fighting service are divided as fol-
lows on the lines east of Pittsburgh
and Erie: New Jersey Division, ZIG;
Eastern Pennsylvania Division, 40;
Western Pennsylvania Division, 1871;
Northern Division, IT; Erie Division
and Northern Central Railway, 35;
Philadelphia, Baltimore & Washing
ton railroad, 80; and Philadelphia
Terminal Division, 10.
Indicative of the effectiveness of
locomotives as fire engines Is the fact
that in the past four years 1853 fires
on Pennsylvania railroad property
have been extinguished by them.

SCHOLARSHIPS
ARE AWARDED
Frank Thomson Prizes for
Employees of P. R. R.

The annual award of the two
Frank Thomson Scholarships will be
made today. Herbert Ridgway OF
Camden, New Jersey, and Edward
Mckinley French of Cleveland, Ohio,
were the successful candidates on the
lines EAST and west of Pittsburgh,
respectively, having received the
highest averages in a competitive
examination which was open to the
sons of all employees of the Pennsyl-
ania Railroad System. At present
there are eight holders of these
scholarships, which amount to $500
annually. This is the number main
tanned out of a fund endowed in
the sum of $4,000 by the children
of the late Frank Thomson, former
president of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, as a memorial to
their father.
Herbert Ridgway is the son of M.
B. Ridgway, a passenger conductor
on the West Jersey and Seashore
railroad. He Is twenty years of age,
and is at present attending Cornell
University, where he expects to con-
tinue his studies.
Edward Mckinley French is the
son of H. A. French, deceased, form
erly division freight agent of the
Marietta Division of the Pennsy1va-
ing the Case School of Applied Sci
ence of Cleveland, Ohio, where he
expects to continue his studies.
The Frank Thomson Scholarship
Fund was established In 1907. It
was designed to afford to sons of liv-
ing and deceased employees on all the
lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad
System, an opportunity for a techni-
cal education. While the scholar
ships are awarded on competitive ex-
animation, the winners must qualify
for admission to one of the technical
schools approved by the company,
before receiving certificates emitting
them to draw upon the scholarship
fund.
Last year the successful candidates
were Robert Francis Holman Of
Fort Wayne, Indiana, who is now a
student at Stevens University and
John James Caldwell of Greensburg,
Penn, who is at present attending
the University of Pennsylvania. In
lSIo, gorge r. WOl1e OF fOung-
wood, Penn, and M. Roy Strong Of
Cleveland, Ohio. were awarded the
scholarships. Benjamin M. Snyder,
Jr., of Elmira, New York, and Wal

We're the successful candidates in
1909.
