the constitutionalist army, General
Corranza had flatly refused to give
guarantees for the safety Of the lives
and property of the adherents of the

LA FRANCE PUMPER
MAKES FINE SHOWING

The Manchester, Conn, Herald, of
June ., 1914, has the story following
concerning the trying out of a La
France automobile pumping engine at
that place. The engine was 100 horse
power and cost $500. The story is as
,ws:
The Ameriean-La France automobile
pump, which was ordered for Hose &
Ladder company No. 4 last October, ar
rived yesterday afternoon, coming out
from Hartford under its own power and
making the trip in 10 minutes. Ar
rangements had been made for test
and officials from the Hartford fir
department, who were interested in the
apparatus, came out to witness it,
About $3.50, just as the thunder storm
was getting ready to break, the appar-
atus was driven to the south side of
Gould S pond anu the test was started
One thousand feet of hose was run out
and with a / 1-S-inch nozzle stream
was thrown nearly across the pond,
which at that point is nearly 200 feet
wide. The test at the nozzle showed
the machine throwing $50 gallons
minute under 250-pound pressure at
the pump. While the demonstration
was going on, the storm broke and
those who remained to witness the per
Torrance got a ducking.
With two streams operating, 800 feet
of hose being used in each case, and
is and IA nOzzles, two powerful
streams were thrown over the pond.
The line with the / is nozzle attach
ment threw a stream entirely across
the pond. Later three streams were
used and the combined throwing power
registered 93S gallons under 1875 pounds
pressure. The company only guaranteed
to throw 700 gallons
After the apparatus was taken to
the old East school grounds and dou-
BILE hydrant connection was made with
the engine, using four-inch connections.
The water was at first run t1rough the
machine without use of the pump and
a pressure of 70 pounds was registered.
With the pump operating, 9S pounds at
the engine and 102 at the nozzle was
registered, 200 feet of hose being used
The streams thrown into the air carried
higher than the roof of the Watkins
building. Those who witnessed the
demonstration were Frank Cheney, Jr,
president of the South Manchester fire
district; E. L. G.. Hohenthal, treas.
urer; from Hartford, Horace B. Clark,
president of the Hartford fire board;
Chief John G. Morgan, Master Mechanic
@. A. Cutler, Commissioner John L. Ha.
vens of East Hartford, and G.. H. Bar
ton, superintendent of the East Side
district of West Hartford.
The contract price of the new engine
is $500. 1t is guaranteed to throw
700 gallons a minute and is propelled
and operated by a 100 horsepower six.
cylinder engine. 1t carries 1900 feet of
hose and is equipped with a 24-foot ex-
tension ladder, hand extinguishers,
crowbars, tools and lanterns. The ma
chine is designed to carry a chemical
tank, but as the district possesses two
this feature was discarded when the Or
der was given. Robert Smith, of the
Park garage, has been temporarily en-
gagged to operate it, and man from
the company will remain here until Mr..
Smith has mastered the machine.

PLAN TO ADVERTISE
THE LOGANBERRIES
Commercial Club Governors and Fruit
Growers and Shippers Discuss the
Berry and Light Demand for 1t.

Ways and means to extend the mar
ket for the willamette valley logan
berry product was the subject of an
all afternoon conference yesterday on
the part of the board of governors of
the Salem commercial club and repre-
sentatives of the IL. S. Gile company
and the Salem Fruit Union. The pur-
pose of the meeting was to hit upon
some plan of cooperation between the
growers and the promotion department
in order that the loganberries may be
extensively advertised and an accord
ingly increased market found.
1t was admitted that the growers here
needed wider market for the fruit
in order to continue to cultivate it sue
cessfully. The market at present is not
as strong as it might be and a campaign
of publicity is believed to be needed to
bring the value and desirability of the
fruit before the consuming public.
A plan proposed by II. S. Gile and
Mr.. Crawford, of the Fruit Union, was
discussed. The plan outlined was to
insert in magazines of national circula-
tion advertisements stating that sam
pies of loganberries could be secured by
application to the Salem commercial
club. The growers would be called up
on to furnish berries and backing while
the commercial club would do the cleri-
cal work, see that the advertisements
were inserted, attend to replies, etc.
This work of the commercial club would
be upon condition that the growers
coming into the scheme assist in every
way possible. This it is believed they
will do as they are the people primar-
lily benefited by a widening market.
The Gile company and the Fruit Union
have promised to prepare the small car
tons for distribution.

DON'T WANT TO STAY
SINCE THEY HAVE TO

London, Aug. 4.-Committees repre-
senting the stranded Americans in Lon
don were engaged today in consulting
hotel, railroad and steamship officials
relative to lost baggage and in endea
voring to arrange for the honoring Of
checks and notes.
Representatives Of various financial
houses in the city said steps were being
taken as rapidly as possible for meet
ing such obligations, and much encOur-
agement was felt at dispatches saying
the United States government was NOV
ing to relieve the situation. 1t was
agreed, however, that owing to their
inability to secure steamship accommo-
dations, thousands of Americans will
be compelled to remain in England for
some time.
Messages from Berlin and Paris said
similar efforts were being made in
both those places and that Americans
were being sent from France to Eng
land, as safer place, as rapidly as
possible.
