CHIEF THOMPSON
TESTS NEW PUMPS
Head of City Fire Department Is
Satisfied That the Booster
Pumps Are o. X.
STREAM IS THROWN
OVER STATE CAPITOL
Mayor Lucas and Commissioner
Best Also Witness Prelimins
ary Test.

Chief Harry Thompson OF the city
fire department is satisfied that the
capital city has more than ample fire
protection now that the two new
booster pumps are installed and ready
for operation at all times.
A preliminary test was given this
pumps yesterday by Chief Thompson
to satisfy himself that they would do
the work, and he was more than
pleased with the results. Mayor A.
w. Lucas and r. IL. Best, city commits
siOner, were also present and witness
ed the test.
The city fire hose was attached to
the hydrant near the Auditorium, and
a stream was easily thrown over the
top of the flagstaff on the building. A
pressure of l10 pounds was maintain
ed at the hydrant during the test, and
pressure Of 1O5 lbs. at the nozzle.
A pressure of 125 pounds was main
tanned at the city booster pump, which
is Il greater pressure than will ever
be required.
The pump at the state capital was
also tested and was found equally sat
isfactory. A stream was thrown over
the roof of the building.
The test yesterday proved that the
booster pumps will give Bismarck
better protection against fire than any
city in the state can boast of. Chief
Thompson and all who witnessed the
tests we're more than pleased at the
results,

SUBMITS REPORT
TO COMMITTEE
Not Known What WOnld Be
Necessary IT, Replace U S.
as Second in Sea Power.

Washington, May 3.-Secretary
Daniels today transmitted to Repre-
sentative Butler of Pennsylvania,
ranking republican member OF the
house naval committee, report OF
the general board of the navy, show
ing that because of the lack of infor-
nation regarding additions to Europe
an navies since the war began it is
impossible to state what building and
personnel program would be neces-
sary to re-establish the United States
in second place among the worlds
sea powers.
Mr.. Butler recently asked that he
be furnished with such statement.
The board included in its report a
survey Of the fleets of the principal
powers as they stood on July l, 1914,
most of the information which was
given By Rear Admiral E'enson in his
testimony before the naval commit.
tee. Representative Butler specified
that the progress he wished outlined
was one that would put the navy in
second place in three years. The re-
port says that, according to its best
information the country is now equip
ped to begin building simultaneously
within six months, five dreadnaughts,
five battle cruisers, nine scout cruis.
ers % destroyers and an unlimited
number of submarines.
Mr.. Butler asked for statements al
so as to when the American navy
dropped from second place.
The board replied that there were
several standards of determining ma
val strength.
"The United States lost second po
sition," the report adds, because il
did not build ships and provide per
sonnel to meet the well known build
ing program Of the nation now sec
ond in naval strength" and refers to
the German laws of 1888 and 1900.

MANY PETITION
S|CN[RS WANT
NAMES REMOVED
Requests Come in to Secretary o1
State From Various Parts
of State.
SIGNERS ARE URGED
TO WITHDRAW NAMES

That q number Of voters who
signed the petitions to have the state
capital moved to New Rockford are
regrettng their ill.adyised move is
evidenced by the number OF requests
being received at the Office Of the sec
retary of state to have their names
stricken from the petitions
During the past week any number
of letters have been received from
various parts Of the state from vOt-
ers who signed the petitions. 1t is
evident that number of the signers
did not realize what they were doing
when they attached their names to a
petition to have the capital moved.
Many of them realize now what it
will mean to the taxpayers OF the
state and are more than anxious to
back down on the proposition. The
glib tOngued solicitors who were paid
for securing signatures to the New
Rockford petitions. talked hundreds
of voters into signing, and in num-
Der of instances misrepresented facts
to them.
II is not too late yet to have your
name taken Off the list, if you were
a signer, and voters in all parts Of
the state are urged to communicate
with the secretary of state and re-
quest that he strike their names off
the petitions. A request by letter or
postal card bearing the signature Of
the signer, sent to the secretary OF
state, will be sufficient and voters
are urged to do this at once, as they
have only a few more days.

A. w. Lucas and DR.. Tracy an
nounced yesterday that they will build
a two or three-story fireproof struc-

the second and third floors will be
used for Offices. The building will be
strictly modern throughout.
With the 100000 hotel, the federal
building, the Hughes Electric building,

It has been announced that the new
hotel will be called the Van Horn in
stead of the Dakota, as originally

fighting that has been progress for
several days, but with no important
