ILL-PAID PREACHERS.

According to a report made to

This statement sent out from

FIRE ALARMS NUMEROUS
Public School First With S27 IN Build
Ing Then Two Residences
Little Damage Done.


AS ID almost the invariabIe rule
when the first real cold chill Of
winter sets in--the day or night
when a fire is needed in every
abode in the community this self
same change brings with it a suc-
cession of fire alarms. 1t is not
always the fault Of defective hues
or too much fire. causing the roof
to blaze. The same tlues and same
roofs have generally stood more
fire and more sparks on innumera-
BILE occasions. and the fires well,
they just come more numerousIy
with the first real cool weather.
The first alarm of the week was
at the Public School Monday MORN
ing, when the SCOT burning out in
the big chimney used to heat the
whole building caught the roof, and
the alarm was turned in, and the
blaze was out with about $25 worth
Of damage. Supt. Of City Schools
B. i. Schumpert was at the negro
public school at the time, but ..just
felt it in his bones that the white
school was on fire when the alarm
was sounded and made double quick
time to the building, to render
whatever assistance was possible,
but the 1927 children present that
morning had been fire-driIled out
of the structure in a minute and a
half's time. not even knowing there
was a fire until they were outside.
The second alarm came about an
hour later Monday morning from
Mr.. L. q. Crosby's palatiaI home;
but only proved to be a lot of steam
emanating from the basement
where the heat for the dwelling is
made on the hot water system.
Yesterday morning at s came the
third call from Mr.. Edgar Green's
residence. the sparks catching the
shingles on the south side and burn-
ing small hole before the blaze
was extinguished. with a few dol
lars damage.

Tramps Back to Maine
After Futile Quest for
Job at National Capitol

His name, like that recorded in fl
nancia1 fame was Thomas Ryan, but
unlike the possessor of a similar title,
he was without money, though his
honor was yet intact. So he assured
Supt Fred johnson, of the Charities
Department. when he applied for as
sistance to his home in Portland, Me,
Monday He was of the clerical type,
plainly dressed and fawning in man
ner and was willing to demonstrate
that he was down and out. He had
but one arm, the other having been
lost in battle. And he was a we'll
known man in his community, having
been in politics in his native state for
many years. Yes, and he had the
backing of such ilIustrious senators as
Johnson and Gardner and Representa-
tive McGiIlicuddy, who would vouch
little preferment as the Doorkeeper
of the Senate or the House which he
was Justly entitled to through his ac-
tivities for his party. But, after he
had paid his way to Washington and
remained there a little longer than he
should have, he had his fare only as
far as Bridgeport and must needs ask
for transportation the rest of the dis
lance Yes, again he testified to his
honesty, but things at the capitol were
a little too premature at the present
time and he decided to return to his
home in Portland rather than remain
in Washington as requested by his in
fuential friends. Did he have any
letters of Identification from such men,
or would he permit telegraph despa tch-
es to the Chief Of Police at Portland?
NO! Too proud? Well, goodbye!
