in general for his statements reflect

Mayor Pagan had said that he
learned doctors were taking money

Fine of $40 for Locks
on Fire-Escape Doors
Too Small, Say Workers

NEW YORK, sep4> 27.-The inn
position of small fine of 500 on Max
Blanck one of the owners of the Tri-
angle Waist Company, has caused
much comment among social workers.
Blancks concern is the one which
figured in the factory fire of March,
1911, in which more than lao girls lost
their lives. He was fined yesterday
for having the doors of his new fac
tory, at 70 Fifth avenue, locked on
August last during working hours.
Chief Justice Russell imposed the
sentence on Blanck. The court de-
clared that, in view of the fact that
Blanck had expressed a determine
ton to abide by the law in the future,
he would be lenient.
When Miss Frances Perkins, secre-
tary of the committee on safety, heard
of Justice Russell's decision, she said:
THAT fine is absolutely ridiculous.
Is 500 enough to fine man who has
shown such contempt for human life
as to lock his factory doors after he
has one terrible experience in the loss
of life due to carelessness and utter
disregard of fire laws?
1T Is about time that Mr.. Blanck
showed disposition to abide by the
law hereafter but there's no cause for
leniency in his case.
"But this factory of Blanck's is not
the only one that should be investi-
gated. The committee on safety has
found others equally guilty of fasten-
ings doors in this way"
Miss Mary Drier, of the Woman's
Trade Union League, was equally en-
phatic in her expression of opinion in
regard to the fine imposed upon
Blanck.
HE should have had to pay the
largest fine possible" she said. ut
makes me shudder to think of a per-
son who is so criminally careless and
who has been SO little affected by the
Triangle disaster.
SIT is decisions like these of Justice
Russells that make the working
people feel that the courts are against
them Twenty dollars for such thing
is more than ridiculous.
The Woman's Trade Union mem
bers are now organizing committees
among workers to enforce the fire
laws. New laws are going into effect
in October which are all they should
be to protect the workers, but they
will be useless If unenforced."

New Shore Front Tax Method
Profitable to Hudson Cities

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 27.-As a re-
suit of the good work done recently
by the Hudson County Board of Tax
alton in discovering and applying a
uniform rule for assessing shore front
property from Hoboken to the Bergen
County line the municipalities in that
part of the county will be nearly
$4,000 richer this year than they were
year ago.
This means that the tax rate will
be lower than it was in 1912-1913. The
valuation of second class railroad
property in the municipalities affected
has been increased $1,S54,43 and from
this increase some $4,000 Will go into
the municipal treasures. The re-
naming $4,000 will come from in
creased local assessments on railroad
and other corporation property on the
shore front.

Women Faint as Rider Spills
at Collingswood Horse Show

cOLLINGSWOOD, Sept. H.-With
a clear sky the eighth annual West
Jersey Horse Show was opened
here yesterday. 1t will con-
tinue today. Many of the finest
horse specimens to be found in Penn
sylvania and New Jersey were en-
tered in the various events. Two &C
cidents. which might have proved Sc
rious. contributed the only thrills
to an otherwise placid affair.
The accident which attracted the
most attention nearly ended in the
serious injury of Joseph Cassen,
prominent horse breeder of Moores-
town. n. j. The professional Jockey
who was to ride a horse belonging to
Arthur ]. Fox, of Philadelphia,
failed to appear. To prevent the loss
of a prize by Mr.. Fox. Mr.. Cassen
leaped into the breach and offered
to nut the horses through their PAGES.
When negotiating one of the hurdles
the hind foot of the horse caught
in the rails and in an instant horse,
rider and rails were lying in heap
on the ground, directly in front or
the grandstand. Men leaped from
their seats and rushed to the as
sistance of the fallen equestrian. Sew
eral women tainted. When 1t was
found that Mr.. Cassen had mirac-
ulously escaped injury the different
events proceeded. The second ac-
cident occurred in the confusion Gre
ated by the arrival of the squad of
Philadelphia mounted police. TWO
horses attached to a heavy roller be-
came excited and dashed madly
across the field. The weight OF the
4Iar
were easily stopped.
Among the prominent persons hav-
ing boxes at the show were David
Baird, F. Wayland Ayres and Harry
HUMPHREYS, all of Camden; Miss
Anna b. Gilpin and Robert Biddle, of
Philadelphia, and Samuel P. Leeds,
of Riverton. N. j.

RETIRE THREE FIRE
CAPTAINS SOON
Harrison, Park and Van Houten
Leave Service Oct. His
tory of Their Work.

Captain Walter S. Harrison. who,
with Captains Robert H. Park and
Isaac Van Houten, was placed on the
retired list by the Board of Fire Com
missioners at its last meeting, has
served the city as a fireman for al
most thirty years. He is one of the
Few remaining of the old line vet
Grams whom the advance of time is
calling from active work. He was
born at Newmarket, this State, in
1s4s, and is therefore sixty-four years
of age.
Captain Harrison came to this city
at the age of eighteen and learned
the saw-making trade, which he
worked at until his entrance in the
Newark fire department in February,
1884. He was at first attached to No.
Engine COMPANY, a short time
later beng transferred to No. 4.
In 1898 he was promoted to the
rank Of lieutenant of No. 4, and
served In that capacity until 1901,
when he was elevated to a captaincy
and assigned to No. s engine, his first
love. In 1906 he was transferred to
No. IL Engine Company, where he
has been ever since. Captain Harri-
sons retirement takes effect Octo-
Der 1.
During his long years of service
Captain Harrison has never been
called upon to face a charge, he being
a stickler for duty and for compliance
with rules and orders issued by his
superiors.
In the Snyder fire of 1899 he was
buried under mass of debris for al
most five hours before he was finally
rescued, and sustained injuries which
kept him at the City Hospital for five
months.
Harrison had been ordered to enter
the building at point where danger
to himself was apparent. The floors
collapsed and he was precipitated into
the cellar, where he was pinned down
by heavy beams The flames were

kept from reaching the imperiled
man by almost superhuman efforts on
the part of his comrades. while James
N. Davis, now fire department car
penter, sawed Harrison's way to lib
erty. There was space but for one
man to work where Davis performed
the task of liberating the fireman.
Harrison's deed, though pronounced
as foolhardy, was a brave act. Eff
forts to ascertain who issued the
order failed, as Harrison would never
reveal the name.
At last Tuesdays meeting, when an
attempt was made by one commits
sioner to retain a captain in the servA
ice, the senior commissioner of the
board recited the Snyder case and
declared that if anyone was to be ex-
