Hose is needed and the board took action last night.
 Commissioner Blair brought I'D the question of giving the cleo trioiars half day off on Saturdays. but it Uas the sense Of the meeting that the electricians do not mod It. Tho chairman asked Commissioner Blair if ho had talked the matter over with one of the eicctricians and Commissioner Blair replied that he had asked the assistant electrician if he worked every Saturday. The man replied that ho did and the commis- Sion"r said he replied that he should ha given Saturday afternoons off. Chairman kcevers stated that ha dii not approve of Commissioner Efair's action and said the man should have gone 10 the chief 1T he was disron- tented.

local factories, the employment of two new men to take care of the switchboard in central headauart- CTS and the employment Of nsw electrician were other recommenda- tons.
 Sits,a9s Fire Loss in Year
 The report Of Chief Noble con- talned tho information that there were 4So fire alarms sent in during the past fiscal year of the depsrt- ment, Of these, | were bell alarms. 4ll were still alarms and were false alarms. The total amount of damage done was s1ts.695.41, while the total amount Of property at risk reached sum Of s?,7Sa125.
 The chiefs report recommended the purchase of car for the use of the assistant chiefs and the in- Stallation of private alarm boxes in all schools and public institutions.
 Linn Is Fined
 The discipline committee. which investigated the case Of Lieutenant Frank Linn, who was absent from his station when an alarm of fire was turned in. recommended ina Of two days pay. This recommenda- ton was approved by the board.
 Commissioner Walter Blair asked Commission Mikelauskas, who acted as chairman of the discipline com mittee, If the two days pay tine was going to hold true in all cases no matter what the o1ense. He stated that he could not see any remedy 10 be brought about by flnng the men. He said the board should take other measures and expressed himself as being opposed 10 fines.
 Commissioner Mikelauskas said the case was the first one of it's kind and the committee was in- clinod 10 be lenient for that reason. Commissioner Blair recommended that Linn be allowed 10 go free with out a fine. Commissioner Mikelaus- kas retorted that if the man had been a private fireman, there might havo been other measurcs taken, but since he was and is an officer, he. should be given a warning that he will not forget.
 Chairman Keevers interposed 10 say that the committee had been too lenient with Linn if anything. He assured the members of the commission that a fine of two days pay will not be a standard fine and expressed the hope that If such an occurrence happens again, the man will be suspended or expelled from the department.

BRITAIN PLANNING
ROUNDUP OF REDS
Foreign Agitators to Be De-
ported-Native Disturbers
to Face Prosecution.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 23.-The per-
sistent outcry of a section of the
press and the public for stringent
measures against communists and
other red propagandists and agita-
tors. who allegedly long have been
stirring up unrest among the
British workers and trying to SOW a
mutinous spirit in the army and navy,
seems to have borne fruit and in
duced the government to take steps in
the direction demanded. The offend.
ers have been very numerous and 1t
is reported that a general roundup
of them will take place in a few days.
1t is said the government already
has decided to deport about 90 foreign
reds, allegedly involved in mischievous
propaganda.
The list of the agitators named in
the police records is a long one. 1t
is said that as an outgroWth OF sew
eral conferences between the home
office officials and the chiefs at Scot
land Yard orders have been given
for an energetic campaign to remove
the Offenders, many OF whom are
foreigners.
The police in the big provincial
cities have been called upon to CO.
operate with the Scotland Yard men.
The eyes of the police are to be TO-
cused on reds" of British nation
ality, who are asserted to be working
for pay in the interests of the boil
Sheviki
The assembling of the troops for
maneuverS is declared to have been
seized upon by the propagandists as
a favorable occasion for spreading
.subversive documents. The Sketch
says wagons laden With Seditious cir
culars and pamphlets left London yes
terday for the maneuver area. How
ever. they are being shadowed by
numerous detectives with orders TO
promptly arrest the distributors. If
foreigners, they will be deported i'm
mediately.
The Daily Mail says many detec-
tives have been enlisted as soldiers
to watch the reds and that a spe-
cial department has been established
at military headquarters at AiderShot
TO deal with the entire problem of
propaganda among the troops.
The newspapers making the fore
going statements do not mention any
members of the British Communist
party as being involved.

1.-THE moving pictures might be
successful for scientific purposes.
But for amusement, no.
"Oh, perhaps" Mr.. Stewart con-
coded, they will amuse the chill
dren when they are perfected. In
the last moving picture I saw they
had a funny fellow named Kaplan
or Chaplin or something like that.

mustache and a funny cane and
