TWO FIREMEEI DIE
I'M BROOKLYN FIRE
Meet Death When Walls of Historic
Old Hall Collapsed Early
This Morning.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)


New. York, N. 1.-TWO firemen were
killed when the roof and one wall of
New Plaza hall, located at Grand
Havermore street in Brooklyn crashed
during a spectacular fire last night,
according to a casualty list compiled
by the police today. Forty seven
men, mostly firemen, were injured.
First reports had put the number of
dead at, ten.
Raymond Farrell and James Sulli-
van, both members of the same engine
company were killed. II
Many firemen were caught in the
ruins and for hours rescue parties
worked frantically in the debris,
hampered by intense heat.
The dead were buried beneath
debris which crushed them in the
collapse that came just as the fire was
believed to have been under control.
The hall, a landmark of Williams
burg for half century, had been the
scene Of many political battles and
at one time had been Masonic hall.
Lately it had been used for dances
and lodge meetings.

The paper money of Europe, ex-

paper currency today exceeds TO-
600, 900, 100000, now aggregates ap-
proximately 100000, 100000, at
the pre-war valuation of the
respective currencies, as against
about 500, 100000 one year
ago and S5,000,000,000 in the
year preceding the war. Over one
half of the countries of Europe
have decreased their paper cur
rency during the last year, but
the other half go on increasing at
a rapid rate.
What do these various paper
currencies of Europe look like, and
what do they promise on their face
to the individual who accepts them
for his labor or merchandise?
"A very large proportion of the
currencies are issued by the great
"banks of issue" of the respective
countries, such as the Bank Of
France, the Imperial Bank of Ger
many, the Polish National Bank,
the Austrian Bank, and the Bank
of England, though a very eonsid-

rency of Great Britain is, as shown
below, issued directly by the Gov
eminent.

the seven bandits who early Sunday
morning held up patrons of the Allen
dale Inn here and in making their
escape shot and killed Patrolman Os-
car Reinhardt of Monroe, Michigan,
today led to a group of small islands
in Lake Erie off the main land near
Monroe. The seventh member of the
band, Herman Sakoliss, arrested three
miles south of Monroe, several hours
after the holdup, confessed last night,
according to the authorities that the
robbery of the inn had been planned

men today had formed ring around
the islands near Monroe after blood
hounds aiding deputy sheriffs and
members of the Michigan National

waters edge.

Nv. KENOSHA FAIR
PLANS ANNOUNCED
West Kenosha Fair in Sep
TENDER Promises to be
Biggest Yet.
EXHIBITS THREE DAYS


The board of directors of the West
Kenosha fair is putting forth every
effort to make the coming fair which
is to be held at Wilmot, Wis, on Sep
TENDER 20, 81, and % the biggest and
best . event u the history of southern
Plans are already under way for
two giant parades, one by the schools
of the county to be held the first day
of the fair, and the other by business
men and others of the community the
second day. One feature of the sec
ond days parade will be comic di-
vision. The. committees for the pa
rade have already been selected, and
have already begun work. Approx
mately twice as much money will be
offered this year in the form of cash
prizes for floats taking prizes at the
fair.
$4,000 in Premiums.
The premium list for the big event
has been revised, and over five hun
dred dollars has been added to the
premium fund This brings the pre-
MUM money to be given away to con-
siderably over $4,000 Among the diff
ferent divisions to receive a consid-
cradle boost are the womans depart
ment, poultry division, and club work.
1t was felt that these divisions did
not receive due attention last year,
and consequently they received con-
siderable attention at the last meet
ing.
One Of the biggest auto shows in
the history of southern Wisconsin will
be held during the fair. The auto ex-
hibitors who exhibited last year have
promised to do so again, and many
more have already sent in their res
ervations.
The entertainment committee Is
busy getting line on proper amuse-
3ments for the occasion. Big free at
fractions will be put--on each after
noon and evening of the fair. The
annual baby show which attracted Sc
much attention will again receive due
consideration Prizes will be given tc
babies competing.
The ladies Of the West. kenosha
community have again pledged to serve
dinners each day of the fair and they
need no recommendations.

Condition on Seventy-fye
Farms Visited Found to
be Good.
PLAN NEW ORDINANCE
To Publish the Names Of
Farmers Who Do Not
Improve Conditions.

investigations of the conditions I'M
der which Kenoshas milk supply IS
being produced is being made by Or.
c. j. Morgan, city veterinarian, and
the city health department, preparatory
to the drafting of a new milk ordln-
ance.
Since DIR. Morgan began the lnspec-
ton of farms two weeks ago, 9ol
milch cows have been inspected, OF
which number 331 have been given the
tuberculine test These tests are made
free of charge by the state at the
request of the owners of the cows,
with the provision that if the cows
show faint they will be condemned.
Conditions Good.
The conditions on the majority of
farms have been found to be good.
However out of the rs farms which
have been inspected there will be ten
who will be refused permits to sell
milk for city distribution unless they
improve their dairy conditions, DR..
Morgan said.
In order to sell raw milk it is nee
essary that they pass the inspection
with a score of 35 percent, while to
ship to a pasteurizing plant they must
get above so percent. Judgment is
passed on the score card provided
Jointly by the United States and Wis
consin bureaus Of agriculture.
The cards which allow 40 percent
for equipment and 60 percent for
methods, are based largely upon sani-
tary conditions and cleanliness. On
equipment, health of the cows, food
and water, count percent, stable con-
ditions. Is percent, utensils, 9; milk
rooms, s. On methods the cleanliness
of the cows counts percent stables
49, milk room 8; utensils and milk
ing II; while the handling of the milk
counts 16 percent.
Poorest Conditions on Rented Farms.
The most unsanitary conditions have
been found to prevail on rented farms.
The reason assigned for this is that
the owners of the places refuse to lay
out any money to recondition the
places, while the men who are oper-
ating them are too hard pressed for
funds to be able to afford the i'm
provements The lowest score which
has been given was 81 while the high
est was 80.
The inspections are being made at
milking time in the morning and
evening, in order that the methods
of handling the milk and the general
conditions NAV be observed.
One Third Inspected.
About one third of the farms have
been inspected so far. When the in
vestigation is complete the new or
dinance will be drawn M and q sec
ond inspection made to see if the
suggestions made for Improvement
have been put into effect The new
ordinance, it is thought, will be ready
for enforcement by October l.
With the passage of the new ordin-
ance, the farmers will be allowed to
work on their old permits until the
second inspection is made
When the inspection is completed,
names of farmers who have failed to
meet the necessary requirements will
be published, it was announced.

notes which are of so little value
they are printed in sheets.
The paper currencies of Europe,
in size and shape, differ materially
from those to which we of the
United States are accustomed, the
notes being much broader and
shorter. They are in most cases
printed upon a fairly good quality
of paper, from plates representing
a fairly high type of the engrav-
ers' art, and, in most cases, in
attractive and striking colors. In
certain cases the phraseology ap-
pearing on their face is printed in
several languages, especially those
in which the population of the
country issuing them includes sew
eral distinct races or languages.
In most cases the phraseology
as to the class of currency in which
the notes are to be redeemed is not
specific, though in a few instances
the term metallic money" is used
and in a very limited number of
countries the term "gold" is used.
