FIRES TAKE YEARLY TOLL OVER 15,OOO
 LIVES IN AMERICA
Statistics Show Most of Per. sons Burned to Death Are Women and
 Children
Bv Asxoclated prexs

New York. January 9-F'ires in the United States take an annual toll of more than 15,coO lives and cause a property loss of approximately s250 00o,0 GOO, accord ing to statistics read at the opening here today of conference between repre- sentatives of the Fire Marshals' Associa- ton of North America and the National Board of Fire Underwriters.
 These statistics, compiled from reports of marshals from various states, were presented by Col. James R Young, insur- ance commissioner and fire marshal of North Carolina. He added that most Of the persons killed or burned to death were women and children
 T. Alfred Fleming of Columbus, Ohio, president of the Fire Marshals' association reported that more than 93 per cent of the fire prevention orders issued by states had been obeyed. He asserted that more had been accomplished in the last two years towards reducing fire waste than in the 10 preceding years.
 PRESS FINEST ASSET
 Forming newspaper reporters machine guns and editors ''heavy artillery" in the fight against fire, he continued:
 ne IlileSC asset TOT lire marshal is friendly press. Newspapers are most eager to give facts if related to real conditions Just as in the recent con- flict where the rapid fire of the machine guns accountel for a great percentage of the casualties, so daily attacks in the newspapers against careless fires strike the bulls eye of public attention.
 Newspaper men are sharp They are also loyal. We should do everything in our power to cultivate their friend ship and command their respect. They know whether or not we are four flush ing or whether we are playing on the square.
 Public sentiment is moulded in print CTS ink. Therefore the more said in the papers about carelessness and it's cure, the easier it is to convince the public that something must be done at once to stop our needless and enormous fire waste.'
 MT. Fleming urged the appointment of a director of publicity and education by the underwriters. Such a man, heNsaid, should be an earnest student of fire pre- vention and protection and possessed of "a proper sense of news values"

RAILROADS. ATTITUDE

The railroads, attitude, as expla by MT. Cuyler, who is director of the Pennsylvania railroad, is that the regu- latory powers given the secretary of transportation, and the interstate com rierce commission, would be sufficient to protect the public against unjust rates or inadequate service and that railroad men, by long experience, are best quail fled to propose rates originally. Sev- eral senators expressed belief that this issue would be among the foremost in drafting of legislation.
 MT. Cuyler argued that the advantage of having one man as the principal gov ernmental supervising agency is that he would act more quickly than commis- sion in approving or disapproving rates proposed by railroads and would ex pedite general matters of railway admin istration.
 Members of the interstate commerce commission will testify further tomor- row. Later the committee plans to hear Alfred P. Thom, general counsel of the association of railway executives; Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the Southern Pacific, and other railroad officials.

THREE PLANS FOR
 ROAD LEGISLATION
 BEFORE CONGRESS
Shippers and State Railroad Commissions Have Not Yet Presented Views
 to Committee
ABy Associated Prsss

Washington, January 9. Three well defined proposals for legislation dealing with railroads now are before Con- gress. Railroad executives today presented to the Senate interstate commerce commits sion their plan, calling for private own ership and operation. under regulation of secretary of transportation-a new cab inet officer-with statutory guarantee of adequate earnings. rates to be proposed by the roads and subject to review by the secretary of transportation and in terstate commerce commission and with the cabinet officer to supervise the pool ing of equipment, common use of ter minals rerouting of traffic, mergers, con struction of new lines and issuance of securities.
 Previously the interstate commerce com mission had suggested policy of private ownership and operation under govern ment regulation.
 continuation of government control for five years and as an alternative early relinquishment of the roads from federal management
 Shippers and representatives of state railroad commissions are the two prn- cipal groups which have not yet pre- seDted their views to the Senate com mittee
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-01-10
FEARS POLITICS

Among the objections expressed by sem ators today to the railroads plan, out lined by T. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the association of railway executives, was that if government supervision were vested principally in secretary of trans portation, politics might play a large part in railway policies and there might be no constant policy.
 These questions were raised by Sena- tors Cummins of Iowa and Smith of South Carolina.
 Another objection was that if the rail- reads are guaranteed by law an adequate return. they should not also have power to determine rates, even though these rates were subject to veto by the sec retary of transportation and modified tion by the interstate commerce com mission. Senator Underwood of Alabama suggested the government should have the authority to dictate details of the rate structure.

WOULD ABOLISH
REGISTRATION
IN THE COUNTRY

Snohomish County officials have
made a move to abolish registra-
tion outside incorporated towns and
have sent letters to Olympia advo-
eating such action. The letter says.
1T is almost impossible for the
Board Of County commissioners to
find reliable persons to act as reg
istration officers, either because
they do not care to bother with it.
or because 1t breeds ill-feeling. As
YOU know, registration time comes
during harvest time and men are
busy about their own affairs and
neglect their registration duties.
Auditor Lee says:
There are 70 precincts outside OF
towns and cities, and the saving in
registration expense would be large.
but the greatest saving would be
in the time of ranchers. Besides
this, abolition of registration would
give them more inducement to vote.
Besides Mr.. Lee. the letter was
signed by Commissioner J. L. Boyle.
c. H Quasi. and J. c. Falconer and
by Prosecuting Attorney Thomas A.
Stiger.
