Quarrel With Colombo Giacomo
Baccardo Over War Question.

Leon Graux. native of France,
and Colombo Giacomo Eaccardo, an
Italian, the former twenty-five and
the latter forty-five years old, last
night became involved in a discus
sion about the war. both representing
the allies, and a pair of scissors al
legged to have been used by Baccardo,
inflicted a stab wound in Graux's
body. The wounded man was taken
to Emergency Hospital. where sur
geons said his. condition was not
critical.
Detective Scrivener, on duty at po-
lice headquarters. received a tele-
phone message from Graux, who was
in Baccardo's home, at 111J 18th
street, telling of the stabbing and
saying he was too weak to discuss
the affair. Accompanied by Detectives
Mullen and Beckley, Scrivener went
to the nth street house.
Baccardo was arrested later in the

tectiyes learned from the wounded
man and prisoner that the war dis

and threw him to the floor. 1t is said
that the latter had the scissors in
his hand when he was grabbed and
that he held them while the strug-
gle was in progress. The case will

Talk on Privatiion,.. :.

Are claims of sacrifice all fbs !?
l see around me men and danes
who have. much fat upon their
ribs, and costly rags upon their
frames. Their. silks and feathers
still they flaunt, and wear fine
lids upon their domes, and talk
of how the wolf of. want is howl
ing by their humble homes. We
eat as much as in the times when
peace was here, with all its
charms, before the Prussian's
beastly crimes led Uncle Sam to
take up arms. And when we've
slowed away a steak, and packed
some pie and pudding down, we
think we've made some tyrant
quake because the bread we ate
was brown. The clothes we wear,
it seems to me, are just as gaudy
as they were before our boys
went DER the sea to fill the air
with German fur. We're just as
keen to blow the mon as though
we hadn't any foes; we take in
every brand of fun from prize
fights down to movie shows. We
talk as though our souls were
set on putting Wilhelm on a
crutch, but have you seen a fel-
low yet who looks as though
he'd suffered much? Well talk
OF sacrifice, no doubt, until the
morn of peace has dawned; and
meanwhile every loyal scout
should miss no chance to buy a
bond. WALT MASON.

threatening a serious Gripping of the
service in the protection of life and
property. Chief Wagner asks a gen.
eral readjustment of salaries to cor
recognition Of the services OF meri-
torious members Of the department.
The report shows total estimated
fire loss for the fiscal year of 1924, ,752,
-on which there was insurance of $10.-
277,3S0. This is IN increase Of $S9,-
year.
The fre-prevehtion section of the de-
partment, under the direction of the fire
marshal. the report says, was not able
to do any great amount of work during
the year because its small personnel
could not cover the field. An increase
in the number of men for this service
is asked.
Appreciation is expressed by Chief
Wagner that the District appropriation
bill for the current fiscal year carried
provision for the installation Of the
double platoon system, which has not
been put in operation because of lack
of man power. It is hoped detail Of
soldiers will be made by the War De-
partment, similar to assignments made
to the police department, to put this
service in operation.
There were 1885 alarms during the
year, 110 of them false. Most Of the
false alarms were the work Of children.
There were two convictions for this Of
fense. Eight fires were Of suspicious
origin and nine Of incendiary origin.
Only one arrest was made in these
cases.
Progress is being made, the report
says, in the motorization Of the fire
apparatus, and few Of the old horse
drawn machines and engines are now
in service. This improvement not only
adds to the efficiency Of the department.

Washington. as well as the rest Of the

the sun sets. This will be a disad-
vantage to citizens who love to

half hour or SO after getting home.
There was some dissent yesterday
morning from the plan adopted by the
railroad administration when it was
found that trains were to be held an

schedule. Passengers, however, were
not slow to adapt themselves to the
