New York, Oct. 1O.-The "per-
nicious practice" of certain banks en-
gaging in the fire insurance business
amounts almost to national scandal,
Fire Chief John Kenlon of New York,
told the international Fire Prevention

Contending that the action Of banks
making loans on merchandise by ac-
cepting fire insurance policies as col
lateral, frequently drive the borrower
to burn his stock in order 10 pay off
the loan, the veteran fire-fighter as
serted.
"All the millions spent on corrective
fire prevention orders, the enormous
amount expended for salaries of fire
prevention engineers and inspectors,
have been reduced TO point prac-
tically nil, because Of the growth of
arson, fostered by over-insurance and
wildcat, pernicious banking.
1T is time to call halt" Kenlon
said.

Mrs. Pinchot Accused of
Campaigning to Make Her
Husband President.
BY DAVID FERNSLER.

Il
| Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
Harrisburg, Pa, March 17.--"Mrs.
Clifford Pinchot, advocate of women
prohibition enforcement ard wife OF
the governor Of Pennsylvania. has
begun Il campaign to make her bus-
band president of.the Unitc1 States.
Such are the charges of Organiza-
| ton women who were getting along
beautiful in Pennsylvania politics,
working with the bosses, until Mrs.
Pinchot organized the State Council
of Republican Women.
Mrs. Pinchot denies the charge.
Let me disabuse your mind once
and for all about any possible later
ambitions of Mr.. Pichot," she wrote
one accuser. "He has said so many
times that after he was through being
governor, he was going fishing, it
seems to me everyone must have
heard Of it by now"
To all of this the governor sub
scribes a most hearty "aye."
There are organizations of women
voters aplenty in the keystone state.
There is League of Women Voters,
a Women's Republican Club, the Re
publican Women of Pennsylvania, and
now since Mrs. Pinchot's advent, a
Council of Republican Women. And
the Council of Republican Women is
accused of having caused all the trou-
BILE. The League of Women Voters and
the Republican women of Pennsyl-
vania held aloof from the organization
ofS"council" to which they were in
vited to send delegates. Not so the
Women's Republican Club.
Ware Directs Tub.
The club is headed BY Mrs. Archi-
bald Harmon, Philadelphia. 1t is an
organization of, for and by the ma
chine. Its mentor is State Senator
5. Ware, Philadelphia. He resigned
from Congress recently to take the
place made vacant in the state senate
by the death of his brother who di-
rected the Republican organization in
Philadelphia. The club might be call I'd
dangerous organization-in one
sense of the word-because the women
say they vote as they are ir--cucted.
incidentally. it was Senator Ware who
opposed drastic and seizure clause in
the Pinchot enforcement measure
which did not pass the state senate
until the teeth had been drawn from
that clause.
Mrs. Harmon had difficulty in Sc
curing an invitation to attend the
formation of the council. She con-
fesses she had to ask the state chair
man and the assistant chairman. a
woman, to intercede. A belated invita-
ton reached her at midnight by spe-
cial delivery. Mrs. Harmon was as
sured the oversight was not inten-
tional. But the council is directed by
board of directors. Mrs. Harmon
was not elected to the board.
Now she charges the council is a
ladies aid society in the Pinchot adj
ministration. With allegation of states
and political machines and of an at
tempt to corral delegates to the next
national convention, Mrs. Harmon in
sists she has been insulted and like
wise her organization. at was all
