New York Makes Campaign
Against Fires and Reduces
the Number.
TUESDAY BUSIEST
DAY. FOR FIREMEN

EW YORK, Oct 4.-That fire pre-
N vention through wholesale ar
i rests is a pronounced success L.
evidenced by the record of GothAm's
new prevention bureau. Upon its es-
tablishment n inspectors were put on
the job and they made 132.eo1 inspec-
tions. Resulting therefrom were 81
arrests and 40 convictions One OF
these firebugs, professionally known
as "Izzy the Painter" confessed to
starting 800 fires.
Marked Reduction shown
During the first six months Of 1913
there were 6605 fires in New York and
fire losses aggregating S3,530.S15; as
against 8445 fires and S5,S19,OO OF
losses for the corresponding period of
1912. showing a reduction in fires OF
1856 and in losses of $2,23S,6S6.
In this prevention bureau has oeen
worked up from complete card records
of every fire a system OF maps ana
charts that are most comprehensive
and valuable and furnish some curious
and interesting fire figures.
Tuesday FavOrite Day For Fires
It appears as a regular thing that
more fires take place on Tuesday than
on any other day. January is the
month of most fires. and September
takes last place. The taVorlte IRE

Interstate Commerce Com

ASKS CONGRESS TO
AID IN PREVENTION
d. Freaerse }. Hasskin.

ASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct A.
M Most railroad wrecks through
w out the country have been
caused BY the carelessness or thought
lessness of employees. according to the
findings of the Interstate Commerce
commission
II congress makes the appropria-
ton of $4,000 requested by the Inter
state Commerce commission for the
further Investigation Of systems OF
train control, that body is prepared to
take nm the work of wreck prevention
where the block signal and train con-
troll board left off in 1911.
Hundreds Killed Daily.
That much remains to be done IN the
elimination of accidents in railroau
operation is disclosed by the fact tnat
the average number Of people oalIy
killed and injured in the United States
in the operation of its railroads ranges
around 500 Each year the number OF
people killed is large enough 10 pop

employees. Out of a total of 1sO,OOO
killed and Injured, $4,000 were en-
pIoyed by the railroads. Under the
law Of averages IA people are killed
every day while trespassing on rail-
road property.
Accidents ARE Recorded
The Interstate Commerce commits
sion keeps a careful check upon acci-
dents occurring in railroad operation,
and has been empowered by congress
to work in many directions for the
protection of those who operate. and
those who ride on the railroads.
One of the great causes of accidents
in the past was the use OF unsafe
couplers. The commission has pre-
scribed a number of safety appll-
ances for cars. but, up to the present
time, only a small percentage OF the
cars of the country have been equip
ped with these devices, and it is feared
the railroad companies, they will not
complete the work of properly equip
ping their cars under the time limit
set, which is July l. 1916.
Many Cars Defective.
In many cases cars with defective
safety appliances are permitted to
leave terminals or repair points,
when but very slight repairs are
needed to place them in proper condi-
ton Some of the railroads have fought
the efforts of the Interstate Commerce
commission inspectors to make them
comply with the law, but the courts
have held that it is not incumbent
upon the inspectors to notify a rail-
road when equipment is deficient. The
law requires that each car shall be
equipped with proper couplings and
air brakes, and that these must be
kept in working order.
Men Not OVerTvOrlxed.

serious railroad accidents occur, is that

DUCHESS WEARIES

Queen ef England Has Gloves Cleaned

Tordon Eng. Oct. 4.-The Duchess

very robust woman and dislikes, be

from her family. The trouble comes
in because she is too polite 10 say she
is tired. and certainly the circum-
stances make ii peculiarly difficult Tor
her to do so.
The queen thinks the world Of the
duchess. her ideas Of domesticity, and
the fitness Of things, appealing con-
siderably 10 her majesty Conservative

this splendid of her mistress Of the

It will astound many society leader
to learn that the queen has her gloves
cleaned Like her mother, the late
Duchess of Teck. she has great
weakness for white kid gloves-indeed
she rarely wears any others. She uses
them sometimes three times before
they go to the cleaners, and twice
afterwards. This, it seems, would be
a revelation to her late popular moth
er, who, by all accounts, never dreamed
of wearing a pair of gloves more than
once, and used to allow herself in the
season in London three pairs on an
average day. This made queen Vic
toria furious. Indeed, Mary, I con-
slider your extravaganza in gloves dis

her relative. ''EvenI, queen of Eng

foolish. You know perfectly well that
