due to low salaries; Frank J. Wag-
ner, fre chief today submitted his
annual report for the fiscal year
ending Jnns 30, 1919, to the District
Commissioners.
Chief Wagner's report states that
there were liza box IRE alarms re-
.ceived during last year. showing an
Increase Of 436 over the preceding
fiscal year. The local alarms number
ed lii, an increase Of 154 over tha
preceding year. There were 2o2 Eatso
alarms, 1S2 more than the year be-
fore.
The increased number of falss
alarms was due largely to children,
Chief Wagner says. In several in
stances. the report says, the depart
ment took action in Juvenile Court
against children turning IN alarms.
Three arrests were made during the
year on incendlary charges.
The total estimated loss for tha
year was 1857 f32, with insurance of
$1g.11S,522. This is an increase %
S6T2,681 over the loss for the preced-
ing year.
In my opinion Chief wagner SAYS
the increase In the number OF alarms
received, with the consequent increase
OF loss, was almost entirely due 20 the
influx Of war workers. with a eonso-
quent overcroWding OF All dWelllngls
and to the fact that scarcity of labor
rendered Il difficult for mercantile ega
tablishments TO be kept free from

Only twenty fires requiring the
sounding OF additional alarms were
received. and i've single alarm lFes,

occurred. The total loss for these
fires was ST62,12O.
Work OF fire prevention was cen
tinued during the year and the Fo-
suits were gratifying, the chief says.

trueless Of the story is due to the
fact that the authors Of the play are
both Irish gentlemen Of culture and

The production from the mechanical
side has been taken care OF with the
reckless extravaganza that charac-

all been taken care Of by the master
hand OF Belasco himselg, as the com

St. Louis, April 17.-The future greatness of the United States de- bends on the coordination of inland waterways, the railroads and the merchant marine, according to speak CTS who today addressed delegates of the Mississippi Valley Waterways association in annual convention here.
 United States Senator Kenneth D. McKellar, of Tennessee, declared the Mississippi valley held the greatest possibility of development in the country because of the Mississippi and it's tributaries.
 "We now have the opportunity of our 1ives," Senator McKellar declar- ed, ''to build up inland waterways, shipping and coordinate it with ocean going shipping and the railroads while government control still exists.
 "We should make no mistake in losing this opportunity to seek for eign trade. England will, no doubt, attempt to hold the supremacy of the seas and France will attempt to run second, but by taking proper advan- tage of these opportunities, America can rise from poor third to a posi-

JAPANESE SEARCH AMERICAN HOMES
 IN PYENG YANG
Revolutionists And Presses Taken From House Of
 Rev. Mowry.
(By The Associated Press)

Seul, Saturday Apr. 12.-The houses Of seven American missionaries at Pyeng Yang, in northern Korea were searched by the Japanese at the time of the arrest early this week of the Rev. Eli M. Mowry, a Presbyterian missionary, according to official ad- vices.
 The official report says the Japan ese authorities obtained knowledge that Koreans engaged in editing and circulating news of the independence movement were hiding in Rev. Mow- rvs residence and were issuing news papers and circulars from the house. More than forty policemen were sta tioned around the house during the search to prevent the escape of the suspects. Eleven Koreans, including girl were arrested, it is said, and three copying presses and documents relating to the independence move ment were seized Six of those ar rested were found guilty and sent to prison. The others were freed.
 Charge Rev. Mwry..
 Rev. MOwry. the report adds, is charged with harboring persons ac, lively engaged ill propaganda instead of permitting the use of his promises for printing propaganda as at first reported.
 Commenting on Rev. Mowry's ar rest, the newspapers of Seul charge that the conduct of some missionaries in Pyeng Yang and Sven Chyun, northwest of Pyeng Yang, had been anything but discret and claim that notwithstanding their professions of neutrality, some of the missionaries have given the impression by their actions that they encourage the Ko- rean agitatOrs. The newspapers ex- press that belief that the missionary body in Korea as whole is not anti Japanese and is not inclined to en- courage the Koreans but they fear the Pyeng Yang incident will give the Linguistic newspapers of Japan fresh material for further attacks on forI eign missionaries.
