FIRE WASTE.
Rv Frederic I Haakin

The first national fire waste congress
ever held in this country now Is In ses-
sion in Philadelphia as feature OF the
annual convention Of the American Fire
Protective Association. This congress
was especially invited by the city om-
Gals OF Philadelphia, and its members
include officials OF the national govern
ment. state and municipal representa-
tives. fire engineers, insurance men ana
representatives of nearly all the great
trades. business and civic organizations.
Every condition in any way bearing upon
the causes OF the enormous fire losses
suffered in this country Is being consid-
cred.
The annual fire waste in the United
States approximates $3.50, 10000 which is
equivalent to an annual tax of over $2.oo
for every man, woman and child In the
country. This is fully ten times as much
as the average loss throughout the diner
ent countries OF Europe. This includes
only the annual waste from the loss oil
buildings and their contents According
to q recent bulletin issued by the geoiogi-
cal survey, the total cost of fires, excluo-
ing forest fires and marine losses. but IN
Guiding the excess cost for protecuon
due to faulty construction and excess
premiums for insurance. amounts IN one
year to considerably over $4U0OVU,Vu
This amounts to a greater tax upon the
people than the total estimated value
of the gold, silver. copper and petroleum
products for year. 1t would more tnan
pay for the Panama canal. Yet 1t is alb
soiutely lost. giving no benefit to any
one.

It was thought by the father. that the
couple boarded the $50 train and came
here but not the slightest trace OF them
was found Mr.. ,Bedout told the police
that Russell is about thirty years old,
He does not think that Russell was tax
ing his daughter away to assist her IN
marrying a young man who some time
ago left Richmind to go west.
Descriptions of the couple were fur-
nished to the police and they were tele-
phoned to the several stations The
Young man is described as being tall and
slender. He has smooth face and me-
dunn complexion. and wore, a, dark suit

POLICE HUNT FOR COUPLE
SAID TO HAVE EL0PED
Father Comes From Richmond to
Assist in Search for
Daughter.

A oag-distance telephone message re-
ceived at police headquarters from Rich
nlond, Va, yesterday afternoon told Of
the alleged lelopesnent of Miss Louise
Bedout and c. p. Russell.
They had tickets for Washington and
left here on the $50 train" the police
were told. The conductor on that train
denied to the police that the alleged
.slopemrs were among his passengers.
Edward .Bedout. father Of the girl,
reached here last night about s o'clock
and participated in the search that the
police had started for the couple. The
father is an electrical engineer In the
employ of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
road Company. and resides in Rich
mond.
In conversation with police officials
here Bedout said that his daughter
had received the attention of young
man in Richmond. and the latter wanted
TO marry her. He and his wife objected
On account of the daughters youth. he
stated. and the young man went west.
He stated that he did not know Rus
sell. He was advised Of his daughter
absence yesterday afternoon when his
wife telephoned him at the Office. and he
hurried to the railroad station, where ne
was told that Louise had been seen with
a man. and that the latter had purchased
two tickets for Washington.

The fire insurance of the United States
costs upon an average about l per cent,
OF the policy value, or one dollar per hun
dred, with nearly three dollars per capita
annual fire waste. In Europe insurance
costs on the average one-tenth OF l per
cent of the policy value, or ten cents per
hundred with thirty cents per capita
annual ERE waste. It is an invariable
rule that as fire waste diminiehes the
cost of insurance falls proportionately.
Insurance is sort of a tax which dis
tributes the fire waste of the country over
it's population About half OF the insur-
anCe premiums cOtleCt0Q' are 'IctuIuou "
the insured for fire losses. The remain-
ing half goes to meet the expenses and
yield the profits of the insurance COM
panies. Every great confiagration in
creases the total waste bill and thus auto
'matically raises insurance rates through
out the national boundaries.
In the continuous quest for means OF
checking the increased cost of living IT
seems surprising that SO little consioera-
tion has been. given to the lesSening or
the great fire waste of the nation Every
inhabitant of the country contributes
toward paying this. Increased insurance
rates bring about higher rents. higher
prices for food and clothing. and through
them higher rates upon credits and in
terests upon loans. No one is exempt.
The poorest workman with the largest
family, through these channels, contrib
utes each year not only three dollars for
himself and his wife but also for each OF
his children, and for this contribution he
receives no return.
