IS JOKE ON FREMEA
Weccacoe and Reliance Com
panies Called Out on Big

JOURNAL
CALLS ladies OFF

Apparently the work OF a Joker, the
champion monkey run OF the local
fire department was made today, when
members OF the entire department, as
we'll es citizens in general, and the
WeccacOe and Reliance Fire CompaE
les in particular we're exc ted over the
news that Baltimore, Md, which was
visited by a serious fire some years
ago, was again being ravaged by
flames. AS a result telephones in the
pol CO station, newspaper offices and
fire engine headquarters we're busy
for several hours informing callers
that the fire call was a hoax"
The "call for help" was received
here shortly after 9.15 o'clock this
morning by Allen H. Lockard, chauf-
feur for the Brandywine Fire Com
pany. The call was made over the
lines OF the Diamond State Telephone
Company, the operator saying that
Baltimore desired to talk with the
fire chief. Mr.. Lockard took the
phone and a mans voice on the wire
said: 1--WE have a serious fire raging
here and want help" Mr.. Lockard
informed him that Fire Chief Golden
was not at the engine house. where
upon the man making the call said:
Tell your chief to call us up at our
expense" Two other calls for help
were received by the Brandywine
Company within fifteen minutes.
Lockard at once got into communica-
ton with Chief Golden at the Union
Company house and the Weccacoe
and Reliance Fire Companies we're
ordered to hold themselves IN readi-
ness for service in Baltimore. The
fireuen connected wsth these two com
pa'es loaded up their fire engines and
combination wagons and proceeded to
the freight yards Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company.
Chief Golden then called Baltimore
and was notified that there was no
ire there. Officials OF the Diamond
State Telephone Company at once
started an investigation. This showed
that the call from Baltimore for help
had been made from a pay station in
Baltimore. Efforts are being made by
the Baltimore authorities 10 appre-
hend the person who sent I'm the call.
When word was received here that
Baltimore was burning again, inquiry
was made by THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL over the United Press leased
wires. Baltimore replied that a joke
had been perpetrated on Wilmington
This information, the first official
news, was sent direct to Chief Golden
who was at the Washington fire house
at the time awaiting information from
Baltimore. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company official said no fire had
broken out in Baltimore and that no
provision had been made for the local
firemen to be moved over their Ines.
with this information at hand, Chief
Golden ordered the Reliance and Wee
cacoe fremen to return to their quar-
ters.
