To Ask County Commissioners
To Aid Fire Department..

Towns and villages in the immediate
vicinity of Frederick and of the coun
ty that are equipped with an ade-
quate water supply system, which
could be used by the fire companies
of Frederick in case of a big confia-
grafton will be asked to send a dele
cation to Frederick and appear be-
fore the county commissioners with
Frederick delegation composed of the
city officials and committees from the
various fire companies. This trip to
the county commissioners office will
be made next Tuesday morning at 10
O'Clock, when the county will be
asked for $4,000 annually for the sup
port of the Frederick fire companies
This was definitely decided upon
last evening when committees of two
fire companies, the United and Junior
companies, conferred with Mayor Fra
ley and the city council fire commit
tee, composed of Aldermen Grove, Alb
bolt and Phebus. The Independent
Hose company was not represented
although Alderman Phebus is a mem
Der of that company.
Mayor Fraley was instructed to
confer with the burgesSes of the var
lous towns of the county that have
adequate water supplies that can bt
used in fighting fires and arrange to
have committees appear in Frederick
next Tuesday morning with substan-
tial delegations. Unless the county
towns show interest in this movement
to establish protective fire associa-
ton the city fire apparatus can hard
ly be expected to respond to calls in
to the rural district 1t was brought
out last night at the meeting that the
city has paid out considerable money
to repair damages to Frederick's fire
equipment caused by runs in respond
ing to alarms of fire in the county.
The question of the alleged racing
of fire equipment to fires in Freder-
lex was discussed. 1t was claimed
that there is a rule among the driv-
ers of fire companies, and issued by
the directors of the companies, that
no equipment is to pass another en-
CINE while enroute to a fire unless the
engine breaks down and is unable to
run. I'm in favor of getting to the
fire as quickly as possible" said
President r. A. Bennett, of the United
company, providing the men do not
drive recklessly."
Some of the city officials claim that
in responding to Monday afternoons
fire that serious collision was avert
ed by narrow margin While they
desire the companies to get to the fire
as quickly as possible they frown on
racing.
The members of the delegation that
conferred with the fire company com
mittee of the board of aldermen last
night in the offices of the city reg
lister are: l. N. 10y, vice-president of
the Junior Fire Engine company; F
B. Sappington, treasurer, and G. Will
liam Shipley, Jr., foreman, all of the
Junior company; United Fire Engine
company, r. A. Bennett president
Charles Herbert and Edward Schell
directors.

Fire Near jefferson.

Three horses and six COWS, togeth-
err with all farming implements, feed,
harness, was burned last night when
the barn of William l.. Kemp, near
Jefferson, was completely destroyed by
fire. The loss will be near $4,000, ac-
cording to indirect reports received
from the vicinity of the fire this morn
ing at l o'clock
Mrs. Elmer Kemp, daughter-in-law
George w. Morningstar, about half q
of Mr.. Kemp walked to the home Of
mile distant, and asked that the com
munity be aroused. There is no tele-
phone in the Kemp home Quite large
crowd of farmers turned out for the
fire.
1t was Mr.. Kemp who discovered
the fire. She was aroused by the
bright light which shone in her bed
room. 1t was about 11.30 o'clock,
which time the fire was discovered
On going to the window Mrs. Kemp
saw the barn in mass of flames.
When the members of the family
had been aroused a rescue of the ami
mails in the barn was out of question.
Parts of the building had begun to fall
in.
1t was reported that although there
were several buildings in the immed-
late vicinity of the barn, that none
were burned.
No cause is given for the fire. Wheth-
er it was due to the presence of
tramp is not known. Mrs. Kemp re-
ported last night that the family was
mystified as to any possible cause of
the fire.

Negro Charged With Assault.

A certain element in the vicinity of
Lewistown and Creagerstown is arous-
ed over the alleged attempted assault
of Luther Russell, a negro, about 10
years of age, on Mrs. Cora Weddle,
near Lewistown, on Sunday Afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon there were rum
ors of an alleged Citizens" gathering
to nab the negro. This was nipped
in. the bud by the arrest of Russell
yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sher-
ifs James Jones and Charles Smith.
The warrant was sworn out by
Charles Weddle, husband of Mrs. Cora
Weddle. According to the officers the
negro protests his innocence.
According to the story told by the
officers Russell went into the Weddle
home on Sunday, Mrs. Weddle being
alone, and started flow of abusive
language. 1t is claimed that Russell
walked into the house, closed the
door and turned the key in the lock.
While the negro is alleged to have
been looking out of the window, Mrs.
Weddle ran from the room by an OPP
posite door, not noticed by Russell
The woman called to neighbors for
help. The cries for assistance alarm
ed the negro and he ran from the
house.
The negro made no attempt to es-
cape the officers or even leave the
county. When the officers appeared
in the vicinity of Lewistown yesterday
afternoon he was working in the sta
bles of Mr.. Shook, farmer of that
section. He made no resistance and
when told the charge, protested he
was innocent.

Burns Fatal to Aged woman.

After lingering for about four weeks
Mrs. Sprigg Ijams, blind and nearly so
years of age, died on Saturday about
noon from injuries received when she
was burned in one of the wards at
Montevue. The old lady was sitting
in the ward in her chair and according
to custom was smoking. Goals drop
ped from the pipe and ignited her
clothing Before the fire was discov-
cred the woman was enveloped in
flames.
Mr.. Ijams, in the ward at the time,
was burned about the hands in few
erish efforts to extinguish the flames
that were burning his wife He was
reported as doing nicely yesterday af-
ternoon and has virtually recovered
from the injuries.
1t was this incident that caused the
curtailment of smoking in the wards
in the institution. Superintendent Oh
in w. Rice placed a ban on smoking
either among inmates or, attendants in
the institution. Officials and workmen
may smoke in the office, but not while
on duty.
Mrs. Ijams was badly burned
about the face and hands. Her cloth
ing was virtually burned from her
body before the fire could be exiting
uished by the attendants and the in
mates. Although her injuries were
severe and her condition serious, hope
for complete recover was at one time
held r. Recently, however, change
for the worse -as noticed.
The funeral will take place today in
Frederick. Interment will be made in
Mt. Olivet cemetery.

F ROM
GIRL

Another of the series of bold
Tacoma burglaries occurred at
midnight when tall, slender
young thief, neatly dressed and
wearing tennis shoes, entered the
bedroom of Mr.. and Mrs. II. f.
Rowland, 1891 NJ ST., searched
the room while the occupants
slept, and stole SIS in cash from
Mr.. Rowland's trousers pockets.
The burglar was seen desoend-
ing the stairs, after he had
robbed the room. Miss Bessa
Rowland, awakened by a sharp
flash of light from the thief's
electric torch, went to her bed
room door just as the burglar
started his descent on the front
stairs.
What do you want here?" the
plucky girl demanded.
The burglar glanced about,
jerked his cap more tightly over
his face, and quickened his gait.
You get out of here quick"
ordered Miss Rowland. Then she
screamed for help. Her parents
awakened, but the burglar had
already fled.
In gaining entrance to the
Rowland home, the burglar
pried a screen from the pantry
window, carefully removed a
plate of butter and some glasses
of jelly from the sill, and then
climbed in. He escaped the same
way.
