1sa Hotel Fires in 90 Days.

According to records kept by Safety
Engineering. New York, 1872 hotels in
the United States and Canada were
burned during the first 90 days of 1914
January l to April 2, both inclusive.
Every 20 hours a human being was
killed or injured in hotel fire. Deaths
were as frequent as serious injuries.
Every 13 hours and 80 minutes, ac-
cording to the records of Safety En-
gineering, a hotel fire occurred. Guest
panics were recorded in almost every
case. Thousands of guests fled. Many
were killed or manned in the flights
from the 1872 flaming hotels.
Every night so to 100 hotel guests
were rudely awakened from their
insufficiently clad. they were compelled
to seek safety. in the rigors of wintry
weather.
Eighty per cent. of the 162 hotel
fires were in commercial hotels. The
remaining 20 per cent. were in resort
hotels, where men, women and chill
dren had sought rest and recreation.
On April >, the country was startled
by the news that six hotels had been
burned in a single eonfiagration in
St Augustine. Fla. Guests in the
hotel where the fire started were
awakened none too soon to escape
with safety.
In the 92-day period, the hotel COM
bustion was distributed as follows;
In the United States, 144 hotel fires.
In Canada, Is hotel fires.
Thirty per cent. of the fires in the
United States occurred in four states,
namely, New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Florida
The property values consumed in
the 162 hotel fires reached $4,50o.0oo
81, 100000 month. $4,000 a day.
The average less per fire was

know the Kennebec Journal has stood
up manfully in defense of all the
industries of Maine, for all the rights
and privileges affecting the farmer,
the manufacturer, and the laborer to
the best of its knowledge and ability.

A Scattering Mud gun Spiked.

The following letter, written by Hon.
w. B. Shelton of Lewiston. member
of the law firm of Newell & Shelton,
and former Bank Commissioner Of
Maine, explains itself. 1t was not adj
dressed to us but we copy, as many
who were not present have been misled
by absolutely false statements. and
equally bad misleading insinuations for
a cheap political purpose and from
cheap and wholly dishonorable inten-
ton:
To Editors of the Lewiston Journal:
In your issue of Friday evening, re-
porting the Republican State conven-
ton of Thursday, and its action on
the Roosevelt resolution, or amend
ment, offered by Mr.. Davies of Var
mouth, your report page - states
that the amendment was offered, gives
its language, and concludes so FAR as
this subject is concerned with these
words: Chairman Peters ruled that
the amendment was out of order and
could not be considered; that settled
the Roosevelt attitude of the party
leaders. The convention didn't get q
chance to say anything.
The first part of the quotation, that
Chairman Peters ruled that the
amendment was out of order and
could not be considered" purports to
be report of the disposition of the
resolution. The remainder of the
quotation is a comment on the chair
o,,fe, nd a in1nrpG-
sion, Intentionally or otherwise, that.
Mr.. Peters ruling made II impossible
for the convection to express itself
on the subject matter of the resolu-
ton Your editorial comment that the
chairman got ION The Parliamentary
Lid appears to be based on the same
impression. -
Your report goes just far enough to
permit such a charge, and stops. What
did happen was this; The chairman
ruled that the recommendation was
not in order as an amendment be-
cause it was not germane to any
plank in the platform which it sought
to amend. But he also said that it
would be in order as a separate res
olution. Mr.. Davies then asked if he
ruled ii out. Mr.. Peters again ex-
planned that ii was not in order as
an amendment to anything in the plat
form but that it would be considered
If desired as a separate resolution,
and asked Mr.. Davies if he wished to
offer il as such. The latter gentle
man said something to the effect that
he was satisfied to have 1t excluded
as an amendment to the platform, and
resumed his seat without asking for
action on his resolution, which he was
expressly given an opportunity to do,
an opportunity twice specifically ex-
planned, and open to every one in the
hall.
think you had two reporters at
the press table when this incident
occurred. They will both realize that
the report referred to does not state
the matter as it occurred, in that it
states only so much of it as would
suggest a conclusion different from
that which full account would war
rant.

1t is surprising to note with what
speed the cleanup and paint-up move

towns of any size between here and
Providence either have or are plan

is doubtful, though, whether they will
be able to devise better system than
that which Commr. of Public Works

The Printers Rule.

(By Roscoe Z. Haynes, in the National
Printer-Journalist)
The Printers Rule is a handy tool
Whatever the job may be;
From eating pie to pulling tacks,
Or ripping envelopes up the backs,
And even down to cleaning cracks,
It's the Printers Rule for me.
You can drive screw or cut off a
chew,
You can white. or pick. or dig.
You can spread your bread, or clean
fish,
Or scrape the side of a chatting dish,
Or do most anything man could wish
With this little 'jig-ama-rig
The familiar click of the rule and stick
Is music to my ears:
And though no longer It work at the
case
Since the limo" has joined the merry
race,
In my heart is reserved a tender place
For my friend of former years.
And on Judgment MORN when Gabriers
horn +tf-s
Sounds through the Promised Land,
The Printerman won't have to wait,
For I'm sure he will not hesitate
To try to open thekPearly Gate,
If he has his rule in hand.

The sardine. packing season opens
today and the factories at Eastpors
and other places are ready. Word
comes from points still further east,
down on the Nova Scotia coast, that
few advance schools of herring have
put in an appearance, which is good
news to the American packers. The
price of the fish now asked by the
Canadian fishermen, SIS per barrel, is
said to be too high and it is doubtful
if many are just now bought, but the
coming of the Ash into our waters
will soon send down the price and
work will be rushed. Enough of the
fish are on hand to warrant a refusal
by the packers of any fancy prices.
Last years pack has been practically
cleaned out.

best informed men in this section of

big and small. under those varying
conditions, has just returned from a
stay of several weeks at Nesowadne-
hunk lake and reports glowingly of
the way the big game is wintering
there. Mr.. McPheters thinks he has
never seen the deer in such fine condi-
ton at this season and the indications
are. from the number which he saw,
that the coming season will see Ne

horde of the four footed animals as
will make the resort prominently a
