FIRE PREVENTION DAY OCT. ..
President Asks Governors to Ask Fol
Observance. 4

Washington, Sept. 8.-President
Wilson Tuesday urged state COVER
nors to set Saturday, Oct. 8, as fire
prevention day and to require gen.
era1 observance by the public.
The need for bringing before the
people the serious and unhappy ef-
fects Of the unnecessary fire waste
and the need Of their effort In con-
serving resources Of America" was
said by the president in his procla-
nation to be especially urgent for
the following reasons:
1.-THE destruction by fire in the
United States involve an annual loss
of life\pf $4,000 men, women, and
children and over $3.50, 100000 in
buildings, foodstuffs and other crea-
ted resources.
"The need Of the civilized world
for American industries to replace
the ravages of,the great war is es-
pecially great at this time.
"The present serious shortage OF
homes and business structures makes
the destruction of buildings especial
| ly serious.
"a large percentage of the fires
causing the annual American fire
waste may be easily prevented by
| increased care and vigilence.'

According to statements made the

the Sangamon River bridge, eight
miles north of Springfield. by cutting
one Of the rails. After the passen-
gers had been killed two Of the gang
were to force the safes in the ex-
press and mail cars. One of the men
refused to participate in the crime
and sent a letter to the department
of justice at Chicago.
The well-laid plot shows that the
rails were to be cut, while the wires
which control the block signal sys-
tenn were not to be molested. so the
engineer of the oncoming train would
have no warning. Positions had
been assigned to each man to see
that all passengers who escaped
when the train went over the en-
bankment would be killed.
Five men were assigned to a po-
sition under the bridge with instruc-
tons to rush forward and open the
safe doors. Automobiles were to
have been used in carrying the gang
to the scene, and one member was
assigned to watch the cars which
were to have been stationed short
distance away.
It is said that two of the members
OF the gang transferred their prop
erty to their wives recently with a
view of disappearing after the at
fair.
