pany, one of the men imprisoned in the
burning building of the five and ten
cent store, near 18th and d streets
northwest, a year ago, whose applica-

adversely, is attracting more than an
ordinary amount of attention in the
department.
1t is the sincere wish Of every mem
Schwerdtfeger be given pension.
Friends of the firemen think that one

board is sufficient to show that his

''he should be pensioned for his expe-
rience at the 9TH street fire"
There are some officials of the de-
partnnent who think this city is in need
of u law governing fires in chimneys.
During the twelve months covered by
the last annual report of Chief Wag-
ner III calls were received for CHM
ney fires.
And had this city had the benefit of
such law as is in force in New York, ="
said n member of the department., the
city would have collected $1,170."
In New York city, it is stated, a fine
Of SO is asse essed in all cases In which
dirty chfmneys cause fires. There is a
regulation requiring the cleaning of
chimneys in this city, and. it is stated.
there probably will be a rigid enforce
ment of its provisions this year.
During the past year the department
responded to several calls received
from other jurisdictions. They did
some effective work. saving much
property from destruction and extin-
gushing fires in time to save some Of
the buildings in which the fires orig
mated.
"And only in one instance was the
department rewarded with a cash do
nation remarked a fireman. "and
that was $50. The money was applied
to the pension fund"
In another instance members of one
company were remembered during the
Christmas holidays with cigars and
fruit.
Members of the department have
found some queer hiding places for
money during some Of their visits to
fires.
Its bad enough for man to hide
his money in his home and have it
stolen" said a member of the depart
ment, but when he hides it and it is
destroyed by fire, it's worse. The man
who is robbed has chance to get some
of his money back, but when it goes
up in smoke it's all off,
Only a few days ago firemen visited
house and were told of the destruc-
tion of nearly 500. Part of it was
secreted in an urn that ornamented the
top of a stove and the other part was
in closet.
''The fire started in the closet" said a
member of the department, reached
the stove and destroyed all the money"
