FIRE DEPAR TMENT
HAS RECORD YEAR:
ANSWERS 1853 CALLS
THREE ALARMS IN PAST TWEEN
TY-FouR HOURS BOOST TOTAL
ABOVE 1921 MARK -- SPARKS
IGNITE ROOFS.

Three more calls last might and
this morning sent the total OF fires
during the past year to 1853, a new
record for the Ottawa department
Last year, while the fire loss was
heavier, the number OF calls for the
entire year only amounted to l47. 1t
is expected that the total with sew
eral days to go will be raised to IT'S.
Even with the increased number of
fires during the past year and a de-
crease in loss. the department looks
to next year with a certainty of an
other big decrease in fire loss due to
the new equipment that will make
nem more efficient and able TO han
= the fires more quickly.
The year. which is now drawing tn
a close, has been fortunate in having
no big fires and even if there is Il
big threatening conflagration next
) ear with additional hose and the
New powerful pumping outfit and
hook and ladder rig the department
is expected to be able to handle it
and cut the hazard.
The first call that started boosting
the total was received at 1920 last
ght when the firemen were called
40 the Walter K. Lincoln home on
Greene street. in Eastwood. Sparks
rom the chimney frightened pass
ersbys with the result that the new
hook and ladder outfit was called up
On to make its first run into East OF
tawa across the Fox river bridge.
A few hours later at 11:40 the de-
partment was again called across the
temporary bridge to eXtinguish a
small roof fire caused by sparks from
the chimney at the Mrs. May and
Miss Green home, 500 East Main St
The damage was nominal.
At 1880 this morning the depart
ment made its third run when 1t was
called to the Mrs. Catherine Tully
residence, 1919 Post street Sparks
from the chimney ignited the roof
and caused a damage of about $40.
The new American La France truck
which is scheduled to arrive today
has not be heard from. II was ex-
pected to get here this morning but
the bill of lading has not yet arrived.
Fire Chief Bossenin stated that he
felt sure the new truck would be here
before New Years Day and that it
would be rarin' to go when the bells
ring out old 1922 and in 1923.

c. OF c. STARTS ITS
CAMPAIGN F D R A
STATE POLICE FORCE
COMMITTEE HOLDS FIRST MEET
ING TO ARRANGE PLANS FOR
GETTING LEGISLATION FAVOR.
ABLE TO THEIR PROJECT.

The special committee OF the
Chamber of Commerce appointed to
work for adoption of the state police
bill held its first meeting yesterday
afternoon 10 outline a plan OF opera
ton.
The committee is headed by r. G.
Jordan, the other fifteen members
are: l.. NJ. Bayne. J. B. Bassett, II.
Ward Conde, w ID. Duncan, Oscar
Haeberle, l.. NJ Harvey, Lester Maier-
hofer. G. G. McEvoy, T. j. OMeara,
William Mulholland, Jason f. Rich.
ardson Jr,, AL F.. Schoch, Frank San.
ders, Henry A. Schmidt and Charles
P. Taylor.
During the past year. the Illinois
chamber bas urged the creation of g
state police force. which has been
made necessary by the construction
OF thousands of miles of improved
highways and by high power motor
transportation which enables thugs
and highwaymen from the cities to
prey upon suburban and rural resi-.
dents and industries. They have had
the unqualified cooperation Of the
Illinois bankers, numerous farm
bureaus and civic organizations, who
have joined forces to advocate the
establishment of state police during
the forthcoming session of the gener-
al assembly.
The local committee believes it
important to acquaint the public with
the purpose Of rural police and secure
their support of the movement, and
working to this end, every effort will
be made to furnish literature to those
desiring it and meetings will be held
throughout the county for the pur-
pose of mOlding public opinion in IA
vor of this proposed legislation.
The recent murder that was com
mitted in this locality should be suf.
ficient evidence that greater protec.
ton should be given the people who
live in the rural districts and travel
the country highways. 1t has been
the experience Of other nations and
states that as their transportation
systems including hard roads, are
more eXacting regulations
and precautions have to be taken to
provide protection Illinois ranks
third in the United States for the
number of her citizens and is badly
in need of a state police force; New
York and Pennsylvania, the two most
densely populated states, have had
such a system in operation for Sev-
eral years.

Governor ]. A. o. Preus, in his key
note speech here, called attention to
the fact that last year and this year,
for the first time in Minnesota's his

stated, "tax rates have almost reached

united program of economy extending
from the school district, township,

government itself. e, So. =,
Governor Preus said in part:
Last year, for the first time in the
history of the State Of Minnesota, the

"This year, for the second time
In the history Of the state, the peo-
pie will pay no direct tax for the

the fact that the occupation tax

Mr.. Preus stated that this achieve.

state platform, which pledges the
party to "the greatest retrenchment

So important does he consider the

Minneapolis, Oct. 18.--Belief that
she had killed a man who had attempt
ed to attack her was responsible for
the disappearance of Lorraine
Schneider, 23-year-old- Avon school
teacher, who dropped out Of sight here
last March, according to statement
given Minneapolis detectives today by
her sister, Emily Schneider. 49,.
The attack, according to the miss
ing girls sister, occurred in Lor-
raine's room at a hotel here, and in
the struggle that followed she struck
the man over the head with a vase
and fled in terror when he fell to the
floor apparently ifeless.
Stealing from the hotel she hur-
ried to the Great Northern station.
She. took the first train out of Mime
apois-it happened to be a train to
Denver, according to the story.
For days after she found retreat in
"a convent in Denver, using the name
ethel Carrew." She lived in terror
going over again and again in her
imagination that scene in the room at
the Andrews hotel.
Eventually newspaper stories of her
disappearance came to her attention.
There was no mention of the man.
She knew then that she had not killed
him.
But her relief was soon swallowed
up in horror at the newspaper public
ity. that followed her disappearance.
She was frightened and ashamed, her
sister says. She dared not return
home.
Struggling along to make ends
meet, she lived on in Denver, working
as cashier in motion picture thea
ire. Last August, she wrote her FAM
lily and her sister, Emily went to Den
yer.
Lorraine is not in Denver now, her
sister says. She is living "some-
where in the South" and she will come
home "when all this newspaper motor
iety has died down."
"After the struggle in the room at
the Andrews hotel my sister was
crazy with fright" Miss Schneider
said. "Her one thought was to get
away so far that nobody would ever
find her.
"She went down to the Great North
ern station and bought a ticket to
Denver. She went first to st. Rose
convent in Denver and stayed there
several days, living in constant feal
of detectives.
"Then stories began to appear in
the Denver papers about her disap
|pearance. There was no mention OF
the man. She realized then thai
she couldn't have killed him but af.
ter all the newspapers notoriey-wel
you can't blame her for not wanting
to come home can you?"
"She left the convent and went te
the Agile hotel in Denver. Her mon.
ey was giving out then and she knew
she must find something to do right
away. ,... -.
"She read in a newspaper that they
were giving a teachers examination
at Greedy near Denver. She went out
there, but when she found out that
she would have to give her right
name, she was afraid. So she went
back to Denver, registered again al
the Argyle hotel as Ethel Carrew ano
finally got a job as cashier in a mo-
ton picture theatre. ...~
