Always Has and VIII Fail.

GOVERNMENT ownership of ~arious big bust.
u ness interests has been given consideration
from time to time and urged by Iersons who be-
lieve it would be a good thing. They fail, however,
to take into acrount a few very Fundamental phases
of. business progress. They forget that business
which has lent itself to the expansion of the coun-
try has been the result of individual initiative.
If at the beginning of the business development
of the country government ownership had been es-
tablished of utilities, there might have been some
degree of success, but that is more than doubtful.
To introduce government ownership when certain
concerns have been expanded to their present
great size would be followed by positive detriment
to those concerns.
Take the railroads as an example. Competition,
the greatest stimulative factor in business, has
built them up to a point where the railroad facil-
titles in the United States are second to none il
the world. If there had not been keen competition
between the different railroads during the years
in which railroad development has been going for.

highly developed as they are.
Ownership and operation of business enterprises
seem to be incompatible with the purpose of gov.
eminent. The states chief function is to govern
and To protect its citizens and to control business
where it encroaches on the rights OF the individual.
but it should end there and allow the operation
TO stay in the hands of the people whose business it
is to run private business.

SOUGHT HERE FOR DAYS

A chase across the continent for
William B. Cheesebrough, fugitive
from justice from California, ended
yesterday when he was already down
the bay on his way to Europe. De-
tectives Hooks and Callahan of Police
Headquarters. searching the steam
ship Majestic of the White Star Line
at her pier, found the man they wanted
hiding in one Of the staterooms on B
deck.
VIXEN Hooks and Callahan brought
him out on deck they were confronted
by another problem-how to get
Cheesebrough back to New York, for
the Majestic meantime had left the
pier and headed for sea. Tie big ship
was picking up speed. and both de-
tectives and prisoner. to all appear
ances, We're on their way abroad.
They sent wireless message to Po-
| lice Headquarters, which in turn wire
lessed to the police tug John f. Hylan.
The Hylan started out valiantly in pur-
suit of the Majestic, but 1t was not until
|
Scotland Lightship that the police boat
caught up with her and the detectives
and their prisoner were taken off.
Long Search on steamer.
Cheesebrough, according to informa-
ton received from the California au-
| thorites, Is wanted In that State both
for grand larceny and abandonment.
Hooks and Callahan. assigned to find
him, heard he was going to sail on the
| Majestic. They boarded the ship long
before she was due to sail. bur because
| of the ships size and the innumerable
hiding places, 1t took a long time to
! find him.
Both detectives said they were aided
in every possible way by the commander
of the Majestic, who assigned members
Of his crew to work with them In going
over the vessel.
Cheesebrough admitted his identity
when discovered in the stateroom. but
denied that he had committed any
crimes In the Western State for which
he was wanted.
AS the detectives had no warrant for
his arrest he at first refused to permit
them to take him off the ship, asserting
that such was his constitutional right.
He was persuaded however, in the end
and went peaceably with Callahan and
Hooks when the pilot boat hove along
side.
Hylan Gets Party at Last.
BY this time the Hylan had caught
up with the pilot vessel, took the detec-
tives and prisoner off and landed them
at the Battery.
According TO the police. Cheesebrough
lives in Taft, a small town in southern
California some distance from Los
Angeles They say the California police
informed them that he left San Fran
cisco on June 8 and has been in hiding
In this city for several days,
Cheesebrough will be held to await

DANGER Of FIRES.

splendid Step in Direction Of
Is Prevention, Waterworks
Delegates Told
SESSIONS IN BELLEVUE

,Philadelphia's recent Clean. Up Week
was splendid step in the direction
Of more efficient fire prevention, Frank
y. Jordan told the members of the
American Waterworks Association to.
day at the Bellevue. .Stratford.
Mr.. Jordan is secretary Of the In
dianapolis Water Company. and lead.
er In fire prevention in that city. He
discussed fire prevention in relation to
the water supply.
The meeting, attended by about 400
delegates. was part OF convention
which began Yesterday and will con.
tinue until Friday.
Mr.. Jordan said there should be In
tensive educational campaigns. 70 be
followed by stringent laws Furnishing
people responsible for fires.
Americas fire loss he said. has
reached the proportions Of n national
calamity and We are becoming a Grim
inally careless people. This business Of
burning four or FIVE hundred million
dollars worth Of property every year
has ceased 10 be matter of small
concern.
''During the World War we printed
picture after picture depicting the
Surned and damaged forests of France.
In 1021 American forests burned were
III
total acreage destroyed or damaged in
France. and 20 per cent of all our 1927
forest fires could have been prevented.
Another speaker at the morning ses-
sion was George w. Fuller. who gave
talk. illustrated with lantern slides. on
''Philadelphia' Water Supply. Pres
ent and Proposed. He showed slides
Of the present pumping stations and fl
tration beds, and illustrated with
drawings of the extensions which would
be needed to put the city's water sup.
ply on firm footing.
At the same time Mr.. Fuller spoke
the Bureau OF Municipal Research
made public snccial report on the
city's water problems.
In the report the bureau points out
that the subject of water supply was
studied in 1920. but no step made TO
follow out the engineers report The
report. accordin. to the statement Of
the bureau. apparently has been
pigeon holed. and City Council seems
to evince no interest in the solution of
this vexing problem.
Extensive improvements TO the
water supply facilities initiated before
the engineers report of 1920 was made
have in the meantime overcome some
Of the deficiencies enumerated in this
report--a fact which may possibly have
created an impression that the recon-
mendations Of the engineers were ap.
proved and carried out.
''As a matter Of fact the funds avail
able for strengthening the existing plant
are now nearly exhausted, and certain
defects remaining cannot be remedied
without further appropriations, nor can
any new projects. such as the extension
.,e NAa ~. Ea o~th CT
tion. be undertaken
Attention Is called In the report to
the fact that Council has never consid-
cred the question Of bringing the city 8
water supply for filtration from some
outside point. The Council should
feel a responsibility toward the engi-
neers' report OF 1920" says the bureau,
analogous to that OF the board Of d.
rsctoes Of n private corporation.
