MAYOR REFUTES
ABERDEEN STORY
DECLARES THAT FIRE ALARM
SYSTEM WAS NOT TESTED IN
GALE THEATER BLAZE.

Responsibility for the loss in the
Gale theater fire last Friday morn-
ing in no measure rests upon the
city's alarm system, declared Mayor
A.. e. Hitchcock today, in regard to
the news item p%urporting TO come
from Mitchell, which appeared in
the Aberdeen American on Saturday.
"The inspiration for the story is
very easy to detect" said the mayor.
In the first place, the new fire sig
nal system could not possibly be held
responsible for the damage, because
no attempt whatever was made to use
it: The statement that it was fully
20 minutes before the alarm could be
turned in oyer the system, is likewise
untrue. The system was used only in
turning in the alarm from the fire
station to the waterworks,. and the
whistle was blown almost instantly
there.
"Investigation of the facts in the
case has disclosed that ID. J. Noble
twice called UP central by telephone
and informed her of the fire in the
theatre building. On both occasions
he was told that the fire was out. The
third time, after he had noticed the
smoke pouring out the building, he
insisted that the alarm be given to
the fire station and then the water
works whistle blew almost before he
had time to hang up the telephone re-
ceiver.
Henry Snow, the driver at the fire
station, was in the station at the time
of the alarm and for a considerable
period before. AT the first ring of
the bell, he responded and instantly
notified the waterworks, at that time
using the city's fire alarm system. So
ii there is blame to be attached to
anything, it car hardly be taxed to
the fire alarm system.
"The fire alarm system was rUt in
by the city only as a protection in
case the Dakota Central withdrew its
system from the city. There is a
telephone at the fire station and also
at the waterworks pumping station,
connecting with the Dakota Central
system. Any delay which occurred in
turning in the alarm was in the de
feet of the management of the Dako-
TIA Central telephone system.
When the fire in the Gale theatc1
was first discovered it had made such
Roadway that no fire department.
though on the ground instantly
could have prevented the destruction
of the interior of the building"
Part of the story in the American
follows:
1.-The new fire alarm signal system
installed by Mayor Hitchcock wher
he threw out the old Dakota Contra
telephone company's signal which
mad always proven satisfactory, il
held as responsible for the beay,
damake. 1t was fully 90 minutes
before an alarm could be turned in
over h system, and then after tbs
department had arrived it was a,
equal length of time before water
could be obtained"
