The Price We Pay.

The COMMITTEE on FuDilclty anu
Education of Chicago gives us the
following interesting summary and
comparisons:
Fire losses and the cost OF fire
prevention in the United States
amount annually to $4,000, 900, or
more than the total American pro-
duction of gold. silver, copper and
petroleum in a year.
1.-THE cost of fires each year is
one-half the cost of all the new
buildings erected in year.
1.-THE annual per capita fire waste
in the United States is s2.54; in
Europe 1913. Cause: the latter has
better construction, less careless
ness, increased responsibility.
Fires in the United States cost
over $500 a minute
New York City spends $4,000
900 year for fire extinguishment
and $4,000 a year for fire proven
ton.
Defective fues are responsible
for - per cent of all the fires.
''Fifteen hundred people are kill
ed and FIVE thousand are injured
annually as result of fire.
"The fires losses in the United
States in 1910 would pay the total
interest bearing debt of the country
In four years,
"They would build the Panama
canal in less than two years.
They exceed the total cost of the
army and navy of the United States
for one year.
They are greater than the an
nual expenditure for pensions. or
the annual cost of the United States
postal service
The fire losses in Illinois will
average more than s1,000.000 a
month. Gasoline caused 522 fires
in 1912 and twenty-nine people
met their death from gasoline ex-
plosions.
Defective fiues and chimneys
caused 1859 fires in this State last
year.

where they were arrested by Sheriff

the murder for which Willard Rich
ardson went TO the electric chair.
Enemies of young Turk and his
wealthy and influential father, j,
w. Turk, started rumor after rumor
afloat concerning the crime. Theory
after theory was advanced as to the
probable causes of the tragedy. At
the coroner.s inquest and the pre-.
Timinary hearing, the prosecution
made an effort to prove that an i'll
feeling existed between Atchison
and Turk but this proved to be
without foundation.
Saws She Was Ruined"
The real surprise of the prelimi-
nary trial came when Miss Cope
land swore that she had killed
Atchinson because he had ruined
her" She said that Atchison took
advantage of her one day while she
was in the bathroom and while
her aster, lAtchisln's wife, was
away from home. Asked why she
had not told Of the crime before
Miss Copeland said she did not wish
to cause any discord in her sister S
family until she had left the home
TIE first time Miss Copeland is
said to have mentioned the crime
of her brother-in-law was on the
eve Of the preliminary hearing
when she t67G Mrs. Turk, the moth

sion and make statements of a diff
ferent nature, is as yet unknown
and probably will not be brought
out until Miss Copeland takes the
stand. 1t is said that prosecuting
officers and those seeking the con.
fiction Of Turk have visited tbs
girl here several times.
Excitement Dies Down.
Since the preliminary trial, eX

Several weeks ago, Carlsl

DETAILS OF REPORT.
Excerpts Taken from House Findings
in Macdonald Case

The following excerpts of the report
of tho House elections committee in
the Macdonald case will bc of inter
est because they deal with phases of
the contest frequently discussed.
With reference To the claim that Mr..
Macdonald violated the publicity law
the report said:
In this ease it does not appear that
the failure Of contestant To comply
with the law was willrul OF ON account
of Interior purposes The money con-
tributCd was not an unreasonable
amount and was from u source that
was legitimate and the failure of con-
tcstauts to file an affidavit within
thirty days following iho election. as
is provided by law, when. as a matter
Of fact. no expenses had been incurred
subsequent 10 the affidavit flied oct.
-G,1912, cannot have been to avoid the
disclosure that such an affidavit
might reveal The delinquency of con-
| tcstaut lies solely in his failure to
comply with the law within the time
| required
The claim that MacDoualds name
was not legally placed ON the ballots
as the Progressive nominee was dis
posed OF 10y tho committee in the fol
lowing language;
we believe that if the conlcstcc or
any eleCtor i'm Tho district was dist
satisfied With the manner in which con
tcstant's name appeared upon the Oft
cial ballot such dissatisfaction should
have been oxcmplifiod prior To the
general November election; that il
would be exceedingly unfair and i'm
equitable To wait until after the voters
had made their choice between thu
candidates and if not then satisfac'
tory To urge objections. But we be-
licvc the nomination of Rogers VIII,
declined the Progressive nomination
and the formation of the congrcssiona
committee which named Macdonald il
Rogers stead, were regular and lcSa
under the provisions of the primar.
act.
The reference to Mr.. Young in TN
report is rs follows

OFFICIAL SCORERS
SHOULD BE PAID
Present System Should Be
Remedied Next Year

The Empire State league has done
we'll this first season, but several
things have been brought out that
when eliminated will make the league
huge success netx year. Plenty has
already been said about securing com
petent umpires, observing the salary
limit, etc. But the fans of Americas
and The Times Recorder have a sug-
gestion they want to get before the
public and the league officials.
Frequent kicks have been made all
during the season on the system of
scoring as practiced throughout the
entire circuit. It is claimed that Il
visiting team gets the short end of a
deal in every town of the circuit. This
is true to a considerable extent.
AS We see it, scoring at present is
at best a thankless job. The man wh1
attempts to keep errors and hits sepa-
rated from each other is rewarded
with a good "cussing out" whenever a
player disagrees with him. Eacl
scorer keeps the box score according
to his own ideas. The league officials
have sadly neglected this part of the
game.
A suggestion that we wish to make
is that an official scorer be appointed
in each town and that he be payed n
salary the same as an umpire. In the
Sally league the official scorer gets
$3.50 a game. If the scorer is paid,
then the president will have jurisdics
ton over his work. AS it Is IL he
raises a kick the scorer will say
Here's your old book take it and get
another man. I'm not getting a
thing for the work." and there 1t
ends. With a man who is paid for the
work holding down the job, the pres
ident can demand that he do satisfac-
tory work. Scorers can be told ex
actly what is what In the line OF
