my home. a block away, and some
what higher, 1 saw the gathering Of
the companies that responded after
1 had been awakened by the alarm.
ITO have false alarms like this sent
in is to decrease the value of the pro-
lection for which we pay. Moreover,
the anxiety and suspense created
among the nearby residents by a base
less alarm justify the resentment one
must feel at this sort of contemplate
mischief. II is for this reason that
the Bellevue Park Association, the
live organization of Bellevue Park
residents. guarantees reward or s25
for the arrest and conviction of the
person guilty in this instance, and
think that we would make conditions
distinctly interesting for the vicious
rascal whom we might actually catch
at this dangerous pastime.
I suggest that other citizens take
similar action, and inasmuch as each
such false alarm costs the city a def
mite sum in material and wear and
tear, 10 say notnlng or the wrong done
TO the firemen who serve for nothing,
it would seem quite proper TO pro-
pose that the cost of several false
alarms be Jumped into a reward Of
fered for the arrest and conviction OF
these dangerous criminals"
Two auto chemical trucks were put
out Of service because of accidents
which occurred while answering false
alarms. Following is a list of boxes
pulled during the month and their
locations: No. 121, Eighteenth and
Market streets: 81, Front and Reels
Lane; PA, Fourteenth and State; 221,
Fourth and Market; 4S. Twenty-first
and Chestnut; 81, Second and Harris
streets.
Three Alarms This Week
Three of these alarms were sent in
this week. The first one from Box
221 resulted in an accident to the
truck which will be out of
service for several more days The
other two were sent in last night
Firemen throughout the city in COM
menting on the calls criticised their
frequency and protested against be-
ing called out at midnight when their
services are not needed.
According to city ordinance, the
penalty upon conviction for sending in
false alarms is a fine of from one to
one hundred dollars, or six months in
Jail. or both. at the discretion of the
committing alderman or the Mayor.

the Hoosier capital before night
The president will speak to poll
ticians, business men and farmers
assembled in indianapolis during
the day, and democratic leaders are
looking for some good campaign ma
terial as result OF the visit.
Before leaving the summer White
House at Long Branch the president
disposed of all immediate questions
arising out of the spectacular ap-
pearance and activity of the German
submarine U-53 off the eastern
coast. 1t was learned that care
full inquiry will be made by this gov
ernment through regular diplomatic
channels to ascertain whether Ger
many intends to continue on this

Wilson a rip roaring welcome when
he arrived here at 1i.35 to spend
the day.
The absence of brass bands and
red fire such as heralded the visit
of Judge Hughes some nights ago
was noted. but the president was
given a firm hand shake from the
.'old guard" The democratic lead
ers did not intend to let their re-
publican adversariess outdo them on
