INJURIES REVEAL
FIRE D|SCOVERER
Sidney CoIvin, Modest Mes
senger, Found Out by
Cut Fingers.

The alertness of a 16-year-old Postal
Telegraph messenger brought the first
apparatus laundering to the Rudolph
& West fire yesterday evening and un-
doubtedly prevented greater damage by
his quick discovery of the flames.
The youth, Sidney G.. Colvin Of 644
East Capitol street, was standing on
the sidewalk in front of the Union Bus
Terminal, at 1896 New York avenue,
when he saw tiny puff of smoke seep
through the casing Of window on one
of the upper floors Of the Rudolph 81
West Co. Building.
II watched for a moment, and an
other burst of smoke shot out and
fioated away. Then I ran as fast as I
could to the fire box at Thirteenth and
H streets and turned in the alarm, !"
the youngSter declared
IT started back toward the fire on
the run" he explained. Great clouds
of black smoke were pouring from Ru-
dolph & Vests, and soon the whole
street was full of fire engines and peo-
pie. Then policeman came and
chased me away.
ct wasn't going to tell anybody that
I turned in the alarm, but two other
messengers asked me where I cut my
hand and told them. They 'snitched'
to a policeman, and he came over and
told me to go to the George Washington
Hospital after taking my name" he
said.
The boy severely cut two fingers of
his right hand in beating out the glass
in the fire alarm box with his bare
fist. Staff physicians at George Wash
ington Hospital removed many tiny par
ticles of glass from his fingers and then
dressed the wounds.
Sucks, that's nothing!" the young
Ster scoffed when asked about his in
jurieS. "You see, SIR" he Said I'm q
member of the student patrol over at
Hine Junior High School, and it's part
Of our work to turn in fire alarms and
such stuff as that, just like reg'lar cops
would do

Eqnipment-AHtomobile Use Sidewalks.

Perhaps the most interested spectator
was "Al Smith," small but loud puppy
mascot of No. Engine Company. He
sat on top of the engine and barked
until he was hoarse as firemen scurried
about.
Water was knee deep in the rear of
the burning building for more than
half an hour, to the delight Of more
than a score of urchins who splashed
about in their efforts to aid firemen
after sneaking through police lines.
Newspapers were used as umbrellas
by spectators as the high wind carried
spray block or two away.
Seasoned newspaper reporters became
"jumpy" after witnessing the crash of
the ladder. Some one shouted "look
out" shortly after the ladder snapped
and half a dozen reporters keeled over
and ran for their very lives after the
manner of foot ball halfbacks. Some
one was merely moving an automobile
a hundred feet away.
At the peak Of the fire numerous
owners removed Gner cars from the
danger zone by driving along sidewalks
with police permission. The street was
too jammed with hose,
A small advertising light burned
throughout the fire in the show window
Of the blazing building.
The competition for pay-station
phones in the vicinity was terrific aS
late afternoon shoppers called friends
to tell them Of the fire.
After the Fourteenth street trolley
cars resumed service their motormen
found 1t difncult TO make more than
about 2 miles an hour because Of the
crowded street.
Photographers added to the confusion
by taking scores OF flashlight pictures.
And it was Friday the 18th.
Approximately is buses of the Grey
hound and Old Dominion lines, Sched-

Antitrust Laws

I recommend that the Congress
institute an inquiry into some
aspects of the economic working
of these laws. I do not favor re-
peal Of the Sherman Act. The
prevention of monOpOlies Is Of
most vital public importance.
Competition Is not only the basis
of protection to the consumer but
is the incentive to progress.
However, the Interpretation of
these laws by the courts, the
changes in business, especially in
the economic effects upon those
enterprises closely related to the
use of the natural resources Of
the country, make such an inquiry
advisable.
The producers of these materials
assert that certain unfortunate
results of waSteful and deStruc-
tive use Of these natural re-
sources together with a destruc-
tive competition which improver-
ishes both operator and worker
can not be remedied because Of
the prohibitive Interpretation of
the antitrust laws.
The well-known condition of
the bituminous coal industry is an
Illustration. The people have, a
vital interest in the conservation
of their natural resources; in the
prevention of wasteful practices,
in conditions Of destructive compe-
tition which may impoverish the
producer and the wage Garner and
they have an equal interest in
maintaining adequate competi.
ton.
I therefore suggest that an
inquiry be directed especially to
the effect Of the workings of the
antitrust laws In these particular
fields to determine IL these evils
can be remedied without sacrifice
Of the fundamental purpose of
these laws.
