FIRELOSS FOR
YEAR TO SHOW
BIG DECREASE
indianapolis Fire Loss Ap-
prOximately 100000 Less
Than in 1920.

Loss from fires in indianapolis in 1921
will show a decrease Of approximately
100000 or from 0 to 10 per cent under
the loss in 1920, according to reports
made by Frank c. Jordan. chairman Of
the fire prevention committee of the
Chamber Of Commerce and Jacob Fl. Hill
kene, chief of the division of fire preven-
ton Of the Indianapolis fire department
at a luncheon Of seventy-fve representa-
tives Of organizations and sections Of
the CITY at the chamber today This
the officials. declared. is directly the re-
sult Of the city-wide fire prevention cru
sade conducted since April L The re-
potts were received with great enthusi-
asm by those at the luncheon.
Beside reporting the big reduction in
fire losses Mr.. Jordan unfOlded plans
for the future. including an effort TO OBJ
tain State legislation holding persons who
have preventable fires responsible for
the cost Of the fire departments work in
extinguishing them.
SAVING EFFECTED
BY SMALL OUTLAY.
The $4,000 saving will have been ef-
fected through the fact that there Will
have been about 400 less fires this year
than last. Mr.. HIkene reported. The cam
paign which has made this possible has
cost S2,637.0S to date. The city council,
at the outset, appropriated $500 for the
work The council, Mr.. Jordan said, has
promised to appropriate money to cover
the deficit.
The decrease of 100000 in fire loss un-
der the figure for 1920 on an expenditure
OF S2637.0S does not represent the entire
saving made by the campaign, Mr.. Hill
kene pointed out. For ten years the an
muaI number Of fires and loss therefrom
has been mounting. In 1910 there were
1.EoO fires and in 1920. 3,465. This ratio
OF increase. the fire prevention workers
said they believe, would have been con
tinued this year II the campaign had not
cut Il down. Mr.. Jordan said he be
lieved the number Of fires this year would
have been around 1900 had it not been
for the campaign. The total will not
run much over 5000, he believed. In 1920
there ware 10.7 fires for each 1000 of

Unclad Bathers Fell
Life Savers With Rocks
Women at Cuardsmen's Party
Give First Aid TO Five Men

Ignoring the fact that United States
Volunteer Life Saving Station 3 was
giving party at its quarters across
the river, dozen or more youths went
in swimming last evening on the Bronx
Sside of the Harlem River, near Wash
Sngton Bridge, without going through
the formality Of putting on bathing
suits.
The life savers protested and the
bathers responded by gathering stones
and brickbats, which they flung at the
DIRECTORS. The latter tried to reply in
kind, but ammunition was scarce on
their side Of the river and four of
them were knocked senseless before
some of the women at the party called
the police by telephone.
When the police arrived they found
the bathers gone and five men
stretched ont beside the river receiv-
ing first aid from women. The fifth
victim, Frank Dooley, of 1889 Under
cliff Avenue, the Bronx, was watching
the fray when ne was hit.
The injured life savers are Joseph
Fink, of 435 East Fifteenth Street;
Albert Schnell, of 227 East Ninety
fifth Street, captain Of the station;
Harry O'Brien, Of 2S3 Avenue A and
jeremiah Coffey, of 25 South Street.
All five men were taken to Fordham
Hospital.

Virtually Every Tenant Farmer

VIGO, Spain, July q. Agitation
among the Galcians against the pay
ment of immortal dues for the occupa-
ton of agricultural lands is becoming
more acute. Virtually every tenant
farmer has refused to pay and num-
bers of them have been brought before
the courts.
Some lords of the manor fear to take
action against their refractory tenants,
as they believe such steps would cause
violence. Some 5000 agriculturists, in
the course of meeting last night,
adopted resolutions demanding that the
government introduce Immediately a
