AleXandria's reputation as q mu.

oughly vind;:ated. "From Olivet tc
Calvary" render cd by the choir OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, last evening was one Ct the
most delightful musical programs
ever heard in the city. A capacity
congregation attended.
Kenneth w. Ogden, director of
the choir. demonstrated that he can
successfully train 4 choir and pro-
duce a program with an cnviable re-
suit f,om solo to chorus. And it Is
perhaps only fair to say that the
faithful ana Dersistcnt work of Mrs.
George E. Warfeld, for many years
with the choir. was evident in its
splendid work last night.
The playing of Edgar Priest, or
ganist Of Washington Cathedral, w7s
perhaps. one Of the most delightful!
parts of the cvenings program. an'i
added materially to the splendid 81
feet throughout. MIR. Priest accom-
panied the entire oratorio and in adj
dition during the offertory rend-
cred Chopin's Funeral March" in
ilimitable style.
The soloists were Mrs. Harric
White, soprano; Kenneth w. Ogden,
tenor; and Wilmer j Waller, bari

With not only the Responsibility Of
leading the greatly augmented choir.
hut also some Of the most difficult
solo parts. which she handled with
characteristic ease.
Mr.. Ogden and Mr.. Waller shared
;,l,,nt equally the recitat.ij: which
were most beautiful but also difficult
and required unusual interpretations.
They are perhaps the ,nost popular
male voices in the city..and it was
rot difficult to discover the reason

Fire Apparatus and Private
Machines In Mad
Race
NO ONE KILLED
Citizens Loud in Their Denunciation
of Such Recklessness-M Mayor Takes
Action to Curb SpeederS.

Efforts today are being made it Is
understood TO ascertain the name
of the party guilty of turning. in Z
false alarm Of fire last night. The
alarm. accordin. 70 well founded re-
ports was received at one of the en-
eine houses, and did not come
through police headquarters as IS
supposed to be the custom.
The fire apparatus made a great
speed trip on King street and was
followed By many automobilists, all
speed regulations being thrcwn to
the winds.
King street at the time was
thronged with thousands Of persons,
many returning from church SER
vices and other affairs.
Men, women and children on the
sidewalks stood Spcl!bound at the
terrific speed made not only by the
fire apparatus but also by slany Of
the automobiles following in their
wake. The street at the time the
alarm was sounded was also filled
with automobil!Sts.
To begin with, one piece of ap-
paratus made a mad dash down King
street, it being explained that the
alarm was up to effect that the fire
was at the foot of King street.
However, the majority Of the appa-
ratus cut loose and went uptown.
The apparatus that had gone down
town then went up town following
the others.
After all had gone up town as far
as the 1000 block King, the engines
raced at breakneck speed down the
street. The engines went to the
foot of King street, followed by au-
tGmobiles in great fleets, all going
close to the limit.
Persons on the streets remarked
tna1 II any ll!IIS Hh' !'''' "'N''s'
with the engines Of any Of the tlre
apparatus or private automobiles.
several persons undoubtedly would
have been killed. That some were
not killed or injured last night, Is
regarded AS nothing short of miracH-
lous. t.. ~.
tEfforts to curb reckless driving OF
fire apparatus and private. -aat49mh7 4.lli
b:1es while going to fires were takS.n
this afternoon when Mayor Duncan
called together Fire Chief Ogden
and the members of the fire commit
tee Of city council:
They fixed upon reasonable
speed for fire apparatus and orders
went forth to the police to arrest
all persons who violate the speed
laws in going to fires.
Mayor Duncan said that these or
drrs will he carried out TO the latter,
otherwise those who violate them will
lose their jobs and it will be the duty
Of the police force to apprehend al
rrivate auto owners who exceed the
srccd limit while going to fires.

The fighting in EisIeben was en-
ceedingly stubborn. From windows

barricades hastily thrown Up at
crossings, the Communists resisted
the advance Of the police force, At
least seven police were killed and
40 wounded. Between so and DO ci-
viIians were killed, but the number
Of their wounded is not known. The
Reds early in the week had taken
hostages from among their fellow
citizens, then driven all Majority So

TRAFFIC ENDANGERED
BY PERIL0US SPOTS
IN CITY AND COUNTY

Richmond is getting as much bene-
fit from the road marking work done
by the Hoosier State Motor club as
any city in Indiana" said Fred Beth
ard, Wayne county director of the
club, Tuesday This is in spite of
the fact that this county has only 90
in the club out of 5000 auto owners
who are possible members. Probably
the state club has spent more IN
Wayne county than all the dues or
the members here amount to.
THE club has marked the National
road and the Ohio Indiana trails
through here, besides having danger
signs set wherever it was notified
danger spots existed.
Some danger spots here which Mr..
Bethard mentioned particularly are
the corner of West Fifth and Main
where the interurban tracks turn on
corner so short that one auto al
ready has had its tenders pinched,
and where the view around the cor
ner is INSTRUCTED by new building
| Just being erected; the corner of
Ninth and South A where the build
| ings also obstruct view of the other
street prevent sight of one street
from the other one. and the crossing
Of the Street car tracks on the Nat
ional road west. where the branch
turns off to Easthaven. Eighth and
| Main would II be a dangerous corner
but for traffic officer being stationed
there.
Another dangerous place is the
street crossing of the D. and w. inter
urban tracks on north Fort Wayne
avenue, but he stated that this could
not be bettered on account of the
narrow street.
| As an example of good corner, Mr..
| Bethard mentioned the corner of
| Ninth and Main, where large glass
| windows in all corner buildings allow
! a good view of approaching autos on
other streets.
| All danger spots in the county that
have been reported have been marked,
according to Mr.. Bethard. The signs
are furnished by the state club and
erected under his own direction. Also
danger signs for railroad crossings,
required by law to be set at 800 feet
from the crossings, are being erected
by the railroads, the signs being 1ur'
nished and maintained by the state
