MAN OVERCOME BY SMOKE

Seven horses and valuable bulldog
were burned to death during fire
early today at the coal yard of Frank
Prcnt2el, Taney street, near Lombard.
The flames. which were discovered by
PHtrolman Dorsey. of the Twelfth and
Pine streets station. threatened to com
municate to nearby coal sheds until the
arrival of three fire companies. The
ncighing of the imprisoned horses could
bc distinctly heard by ncighbors. Dor
sey and three men attempted to break
down tho door of the burning stable and
release the animals, but the dense vol
ume of smoke drove them back.
In their attempt TO rescue the horses
one of the men was overcome and re-
moved to nearby home. The firemen
fought the fire at the south end of the
building. where most of the horses were
stabbed, but here they were again
baffled by the thick clouds of smoke,
and were forced to beat hasty re
treat from the structure.

CRITICISM IS SHOCK
TO BAPTIST DEACONS
Each Wonders if Pastor Who
Proposed Firing" Them
Thought OF Him

Baptist deacons are wondering to-
day which of them were in the mind
of the Rev. DR.. +. A. Agar, of New
York, when he recommended that in
competent deacons be fired" during
nm address yesterday at the meeting
of the North Philadelphia Baptist As
sociation in the First Church, Ger
mantown. 1t was the closing session
of the annual gathering. When DR..
Agar spoke of firing deacons, one
of the listening pastors asked:
Glow are we TO accomplish it?'
Fire 'em," was the terse reply. ooh
7 don't mean that YOU are to fire then
ont of the church. But fire them out OF
their jobs as deacons.
cit will be rather difficult, since dea
cons hold most of the important posi-
,ious in the church, said minister in
the audience.
THAT is true" resumed Doctor
Agar. IF I had my way every deacon
would he elected for three years. Then
retire him for a year or two;.. This
business Of giving dcacons n life job
is mistake. 1T creates inefhciency in
the church.
"In most Of our churches we have
an inefficient business administration
because the offceholding group have life
Jobs. and the jobs are largely self per
petuating. We must change all that.
The New York clergyman cited the
case of another Baptist church where
the deacons presented their pastor with
an automobile, or, as they called it, a
''tin lizzie"
Listen, friends" he shouted.
Don't call Ford tin lizzie. The
war has gloriticd that machine. ! asked
those dcacons if they knew that the up
keep of the automobile would cost the
rastor $3.50 year. Did you add $3.50
TO his salary l asked. They had not
thought of that.
"The reason we are having trouble
with our finances today is because We
have trained five generations of Baptists
on wrong financial basis. We must
raise money by encouraging a spirit of
prayerful giving.

Face NEW ATTACK.
PatroImen's Association, In
censed Over Boards Action,
Plans Move to Gust Men
MEMBERS DENY UNI0NISM

PatroImen Of Philadelphia are In
kcnsed at the action Of Director Wilson,
of the Department OF Public Safety,
in restoring to active duty In their
ranks the four men who recently COM
pleted prison terms for criminal mis-
demeanor.
This sentiment was emphatically
voiced last night at a meeting OF the
Patrolmen's Benevolent and Protective
Association in meeting at their head
quarters, 122 South Thirteenth street.
The purpose of the assemblage was TO
discuss this issue.
The members of the association were
exasperated when they learned thaC
their protest to the Civil Service Oom-
mission, asking the removal OF the ex-
convicts from the force, could not be
recognized because of a "loophole IN
the new city police bill, which went
into effect last July %. Their eNecu-
five committee now has gone before the
commission to demand that the men
be taken from the force under the un-
repealed law of 1885.
This law states that man convicted
of a crime and not pardoned is incIigi-
BILE for the police force. The present
city law as embodied in the new CHAR
ter provided that charges against po-
liceman can only be preferred by a su-
perior officer or a taxpayer For
this reason the civil service board has
refused to recognize their compliant
To meet this situation It is thought
that the association will choose one OF
their number who Is property owning
taxpayer and have him enter proteS,
as an individual, with the backing OF
the entire police force Of the city who
are anxious to remove from their de-
partment the stigma of having the eG-
convicts retained on their rolls.
"We will prosecute this business &c
the end" said Harry NJ. Dickerson
financial secretary of the organization
yoicing the sentiments of the associa
sion at the close of the meeting, "ant
we are determined to get rid of these
stool pigeons Of the bosses. We would

members of the association. but they

The four patrolmen who have caused
the storm are Sherman Fl. Clark, Ed

John Weaver, all now on duty in the
Sixth district. Nearly three years ago
they were convicted of brutally assault
