MANY EMPLO DYES. OF FIRM
IN FIRE-FIGHTING BRIGADE
Hydraulic Press Company's Stable at
Arlington Junction Scene of Blaze.
Hay and Straw Burn.

Fire in the stable of the Hydraulic
Press Brick Company, near Arlington
Junction, Va, this morning burned much
Of the roof of the big structure and de-
stroyed a quantity Of hay and straw. 1t
was between and o'clock when Joseph
Freeman, one of the stable employees. dis
covered the fire on the second floor Of the
building and sounded an alarm.
More than go employees of the firm
formed a fire-fghting brigade and hurried
to the building With a good supply of
water on the premises the men were en-
abled to keep the flames fairly well in
check until the arrival of an automobile
fire apparatus from No. 16 engine COM
pany, and while many of them were fight
ing the fire others were saving hay and
straw from one end Of the structure.
1t is thought the fire resulted from
spontaneous combustion. 1t started in
part of the old building which is pro-
tected from the new addition by a fire
wall and metal doors, and in the new por-
ton of the building the men were able to
save what hay and straw was stored
there.
The building is 2GO feet long and 10 feet
wide, but only portion of it was ruined
by the flames. The loss. it is believed,
will amount to several thousand dollars.

Aviator Policemen Suggested.

The aviator policeman patrolling beat
in the air will be an addition to the
forces of metropolitan cities before many
years, according to Charles Sebastian.
chief of police of Los Angeles In his
paper on this subject, which he read to
the convention, Chief Sebastian declared
that air craft will become as useful to
the police of the future as they are to
the army today. He cited several incf-
dents which occurred in California con-
corning bandits who had escaped from
posses and were fleeing to safety across
deserts. Had aeroplanes been used to
trail them the robbers would have been
located in a short time. Mr.. Sebastian
said.
The plan to merge the organization with
other police organizations was not acted
upon yesterday.
To Pick Next Meeting Place Today.
The association expected to decide to-
day upon the 1915 meeting place Gin
cinnati. Los Angeles and Oakland. Cal,
were candidates for the next convention.
with most delegates favoring one or the
other Of the coast cities.
A parade of fire-fghting apparatus and
sightseeing trip around the city were
arranged for the entertainment of the
visitors in the afternoon. The election
of officers is to be held Friday.
