SMALL DAMAGE
IN TWO CALLS FOR
FIREMEN TUESDAY

Two fires, which II given q short
time in which to gain headway
might have proved serious. occupied
the attention of the local firemen on
Tuesday. Prompt discovery and ef-
fective work on the part OF the nre
lighters however kept them down
with comparatively small loss at
either blaze.
The first call came from the house
at IA West Crescent street owned by
Charles Allard. This call which was
reported by telephone at $50 was
thought of sufficient moment to
ingly done. The apparatus was
quickly on the scene and the f1remen
found brisk blaze working up IN
the partition near q chimney.
The flames had started in the up
per story of the house. which was
occupied by Conrad Kennison and
had spread up along the partition 70
the roof. The dremen were Obliged
to cut a hole in the roof and to use
the lage chemical tank from the
truck, before they could quell the
flames. The damage was confined TO
the roof and to the room. In which
the flames originated.
The discovery of the IRE was
made by Mr.. Allard, VINO smelieo
smoke and investigated. He found
that one of the rooms occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Kennison was ablaze.
Mrs. Kennison was not at home at
the time and Mr.. Allard at once
turned in the alarm.
In fighting this blaze. Fred Libby,
one of the members of the crew OF
Hose No. 2, injured his foot while
using an axe on the roof. He was
using the hook end of one Of the fire
axes when it glanced and cut
through his shoe, cutting of the top
Of the second toe Of one foot. The
injury was not regarded as serious,
although painful. He was attended
by q physician.
At AIS Tuesday afternoon, the de-
partment was called to the house at
Is Gage street place owned by Peter
Gonella, the upper story Of which Is
occupied by Charles Simmons. Here
in the kitchen an oil stove had ex-
ploded. The firemen by dint OF hard
work with the chemical were able to
confine the flames to the room In

Favor Philadelphia
| AS 1926 Convention
lCitY American Legion

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 6.-(By The
Associated Press).-The American
Legion put aside business OF its
seventh annual convention here to-
day to listen to an address by Presl-
dent Calvin Coolidge and to pass In
review before him in q four mile
long, colorful spectacle, the Legion's
annual parade.
With the departure of the chief ex-
ecutive at dusk this evening, form
alties and festivities also took their
departure and the Legionnaires
plunged unto serious consideration
of several paramount problems con-
fronting them.
One point seemed to have been
taken care of today when the place
and time committee announced II
unanimously would recommend
philadelphia for the 1925 conven-
ton, with the time to be announced
later by the Legion executive COM
mittee. Philadelphia has waged q
hard fight for the next gathering,
wanting it along with the sesquicen-
tennial celebration.
Hotel Hobbies and state delegation
headquarters throbbed tonight with
gossip concerning Colonel William
Mitchell, the army critic of the ma
tons air service and selection or the
next nationaf commander.
There seemed to be determine
ton in some quarters to prevent the
Mitchell matter from getting to the
floor of the convention, and in an
other quarter a determination equal
Nv as strong to have the American
Legion boldly assert that it unquali-
fedly upholds Colonel Mitchell.
The subcommittee Of five of the
aeronautical committee appointed to
adopt recommendations to the whole
committee will make its reports ear
ly tomorrow morning before the
committee session opens.
Tonight 1t was indicated that the
committee would be asked to adopt
a resolution calling for separate air
service department.. plan similar
to that advanced by Colonel Mitchell.
It was understood, however. that tine
proposed resolution would not delve
into personalities.
At least half the states were not
represented III lnC oOhOA
autical committee meeting and no
definite idea of the attitude. tomor-
rows early morning meeting will
adopt could be ascertained tonight.
There was strong indication, how
ever that regardless of its action, the
name of Colonel Mitchell and de-
mand for official commentator for
him would be spoken from the con-
vention floor.
Virtually all of tomorrow's ses-
sion will be given over to addresses
by prominent army and navy men
and civilians including John Barton
Payne. chairman of the American
Red Cross; Major General John A.
Lejeune. Commandant OF the marine
corps: Francis P. Matthews. Knights
of Columbus: Admiral Robert +.
