WILSON PROcLAIMS
FIRE PREVENTION DAY
Requests General Observance on Oc-
tober Ninth
Especial to the Tribune)

NCROOAetA
Washington, Sept. 15-President
Wilson in a proclamation urges state
governors to set apart Saturday, Oc-
tober 8, as fire prevention day and to
request a general observance by the
public.
The need for bringing "Lefore the
people the serious and unhappy effects
of the present unnecessary fire waste
and the need of their individual and
collective effort in conserving the nat
ural and created sources of America"
was said by the president in his proc
lamation to be especially urgent for
the following reasons:
"The destruction by fire in the
United States involves an annual loss
of life of $4,000 men, women and chill
dren, and over $250,OOO,OOO in build
ings, foodstuffs and other created re-
sources.
"The need of the civilized world for
American products to replace the raw.
ages of the great war is especially
great at this time.
"The present serious shortage OF
homes and business structures makes
the daily destruction of buildings by
fire an especially serious matter.
"a large percentage of the fires
causing the annual American fire
waste may be easily prevented by in.
creased care and vigilance on the part
of citizens"

ADDITIONAL FACTS RELATING TO ATTACK
ON JOHNSON BY LONDON MEDICAL STUDENTS
"Pussyfoo' Was Ill When He Went the Essex Hall Meeting
Fought His Assalants Until He Realized That Was
Student Raging" Then Entered Into Spirit of It;
Almost Collapsed From Physical Exhaustion
Before He Was Dragged to the Street

The following story OF the rag
ging" of w. Z. Johnson by London
medical students on the evening of
November Is gives additional infor-
nation to that contained in a previ-
Gus story appearing in these columns.
American Issue is indebted to Mr..
Wilson Stuart, Evelyn Mary Highton,
Ida A. Green and DIR. George A.
Henry, eye-witnesses of the affair, for
these added facts from which it will
be seen that the Raging was more
serious than newspaper accounts in
dicated
Mr.. Johnson had been invited by
the Overseas Club, whose president,
Major Evelyn Wrench, distinguished
British citizen, is in profound sympa-
thy with the principles of Prohibition,
to address the club along with Mr..
Mitchell Banks, barrister and an OPP
poncnt of Prohibition. The meeting
was announced for 4:30 p. M, Novem-
Der IS, to be held in Essex Hall,
which hall is located few steps from
the Strand and is in the neighborhood
of Kings College.
Mr.. Johnson Attends Meeting Despite
Illness
Mr. Johnson is victim of serious
heart trouble, and at o'clock, just
a half-hour before he was to appear,
an associate found him lying on a
table in the stockroom at the Anti
Saloon League headquarters, 90 Fleet
Street, suffering from an acute attack
of the old disease. A colleague Of
fered to take his place on the pro-
gram at Essex Hail, but Mr.. Johnson
declined, saying that he thought he
could get through all right despite the
fact that he was scheduled to speak at
another meeting in London at 8
o'clock the same evening.
Attack of Mob Premeditated
Long before the hour for the meet
ing arrived large crowds began gath
ering around Essex Hall. None of
Mr.. Johnson's friends, however, sur
missed that any serious trouble was in
prospect. Mr.. Johnson, himself on
his way to the hall, innocently in
CURED the cause of the crowd and
was told that the students were wait
ing for "Pussyfoot." He asked them
If they knew him when they saw him
and they said they did not. In his
characteristic way he then gave a
minute description of "Pussyfoot,"
and went on into the hall unrecog-
nized.

that right is denied them, then this
country is false to its traditions.
What did we prohibit in America :
We did not prohibit alcohol as alco-
hol; we did not interfere with wine
in the sacrament; we did not interfere
with alcohol as medicine. All that
we did was to prohibit the business of
making good men and women drunk
for profit"
Mr.. Johnson got no further with
the address, and in making these few
remarks he was continually interrupt
ed with cat-calls, songs and shouts.
At this juncture someone inside the
hall went downstairs and, with the
assistance of the mob outside, tore
one of the iron gates from its hinges
and the surging mob swarmed into
the hall. They rushed Tor Johnson

Almost Collapses

He was rushed to the staircase and
here he was given few minutes res
pite from the struggle by his friends
surrounding hi mand holding the mob
back. At this point Mr.. Johnson be-
came convinced that the attack was
directed by students. The humor of
the situation appealed to him. He
ceased his resistance and entered
good naturally into the proceedings:
Eye-witnesses declare that he was al
most in state of collapse at this
point, not from fear but from physi-
cal exhaustion. The mob leaders
were told that Mr.. Johnson was suf-
fering from heart ailment and con-
tnuance of the struggle might result
fatally. They did not heed but rushed
him down the stairs, where on side
street they commandeered delivery
wagon and he was conveyed in this
wagon along the Strand and into the
quadrangle of Kings College.
"Christened" With Booze
He was carried up to the balcony
and requested to speak, but could not
be heard because of the din. Then
followed what the students termed

some whisky were cmptied over their
victim while the crowd shouted them

ugly cries of "the river" were heard.
Mr.. Wilson Stuart at this juncture
courageously challenged the consta-
bles to do their duty, whereupon the
students got Stuart into the cart and
he became a prisoner and received
some rough handling. Instead of res
cuing Mr.. Johnson, however, the po-
lice allowed the procession to be
reformed. Johnson was placed on a
stretcher and carried up the Strand,
past Convent Garden Market, through
Leicester Square, Picadilly Circus, up
Regent Street, across Oxford Circus
and then by a side street around to

DON'T SHED TEARS
WHEN LID GOES ON,
SAYS REALTY HEAD

Tears need not be shed over
a prospective slump in realty
values when the dry lid is actu-
ally screwed down on January
10 and several thousand saloons
quit dispensing soft drinks to
hard drinkers, according to
Mark Levy, president of the
Cook County Real Estate
Board. Smiles were conspicu-
Gus as Mr.. Levy commented on
the statement made by gloomy
vets that there will be a long
list of vacant stores around the
middle of next January.
"a dry United States has
been anticipated for FIVE years."
he said, "and saloon properties
gradually have been taken over
by other interests. The demand
for stores is too great to have
many former saloons standing
idle long.
There is a big demand by
chain stores, both national and
local, for space for new branch
es, and in many cases bonuses
are being paid for good saloon
corners. In fact, a good many
property owners are holding out
for a bonus.
There's no danger of any
scare. Other cities have gone
dry long before this and real
estate values are higher than
ever. So Chicago real estate
owners needn't have any fear of
there being slump in the real
estate market" -Chicago Trib-
une, Dec. Fl.
