INEFFICIENCY IN
FIRE FIGHTING
FORCE CHARGED
Laxity Brand Is Stamped on
Department After In
veStigation.
BIT DICK MILLER

Considerable portion Of 81, 064, 257
loss in three big fires here in ten
months probably was due to ineffi-
cheney of Indianapolis fire depart
ment.
This charge, cleaned from inves-
tigation of complaints that f1remen
several times were slow to answer
alarms, that they have violated de-
partmental rules, and displayed
general ineficiency at fires, is sup
ported by records of the depart
ment.
When the Central Wall Paper
Company, South Meridian street,
suffered fire March 30, 1929, loss
was estimated at $274,257; another
blaze damaged the u. S. Corrugated
Box Company plant $4,000, May 8,
1929: loss in a fire that swept the
American Foundry Company, 531
South Warman avenue, Jan. 25, this
year. probably will be fixed at be-
tween 100000 and s6OO,O0O
After each disaster charges we're
hurled by business men, underwrit-
ers' engineers and others familiar
with fire fighting duties, alleging
that the department was appalling
" inefficient in allowing these blazes
to get beyond control.
Whitewash Is Applied
Investigations said to have fol-
lowed these accusations apparently
brought nothing but vindication Of
f1remen-
So brazenly, 1t is said, was white
wash applied following one Of the
fires that department records we're
altered TO give f1remen the benefit
of five minutes, changing their per-
Torrance from one of extraordinary
hardness to fair efficiency.
Next week the safety board will
act on recommendations of Fire
Chief Harry Voshell and William B.
Griffith, Gamewel division super
intendent, to retire William G. Tai

Mckinney said another session
probably will be held Friday night
to hear opposition views.
Leading the objections OF the city
committee to the proposal is this
desire of the insult interests to obs

City officials already have stated
their absolute" opposition to this
and believe a period of fifteen or
twenty-five years would be sufl-

cation of the franchise might be
worked out, while others declared
the city's stand has made the mat

If the latter is the case, they
pointed out the company probably
would pass through the receivership
and stock owners would have to
foreclose and operate the system
without financial aid and physical
rehabilitation.

slider it a good omen that today

said. Il realize that there have been
revolutions in South America, or
changes of governments, which
startled the world, but they OBJ
viously were the result of unrest
caused by universal economic de-
preston, and no war resulted from
them.
There has been no war in South
America for fifty years. I have every
confidence that the Central and
South American countries are deeply

war talk is due to economic de-

Civilization Into Chaos,
Is Warning.

By United Press
OSLO. Norway, Dec. l0.-A warn
ing that western civilization might
disappear in universal chaos" if
involved in another World war was
given today by Frank B. Kellogg,
who received the 1929 Nobel peace
prize at a ceremony in Nobel hall.
Honored as one Of the outstand-
ing workers for pease, the former
secretary of state of the United
States and co-author Of the pact of
Paris expressed the hope of hu-
mainly for peace. He said he is
convinced that the nations sign
ing the peace pact would fulfill its
solemn pledge in absolute good
faith and ne did not see the pres
ent world unrest as presaging an
other war.
/ Public opinion, he said, eventual
ly would force abolition of war.
Il greatly regret so many peo-
pie, SO many of my own country
men, are predicting war and stat
ing Europe is preparing and arm
ing for conflict Kellogg said. Il
share the opinion of those of broad
er vision who see in the signs of
the times the hope of humanity for
peace.
Appreciates Honor
"Have we so soon forgotten the
four years of terrible carnage, for
gotten the millions of men who gave
their lives, who made the supreme
sacrifice? Their sacrifice should
inspire the pledge never again to
inflict humanity with such crime"
Kellogg called his receiving the
peace prize IAN honor I value more
than any other I ever have re-
ceived, not only on account of the
noble cause for which the prize was
Warded, but I feel that in honoring
me you honor my country and its
devotion to peace and higher civil
izatior.7

Strength at Opening.
Stocks began the day with a further
outburst of strength, as the short-cov-
ering movement which caused the vio-
lent upswing late yesterday was COM
pleted. Advances of to points were
common, with few cratic issues MAX
ing wider gains. The market soon
turned rather wishy-washy, however, as
speculation for the rise was largely held
in allegiance pending more definite test
ing of the price level, and in-andout
traders who bought at yesterdays low
levels took their profits. AS the mar
ket turned dull around midday, with the
ticker running we'll abreast Of trans

trend during the early afternoon.
however.
Credit conditions remained favorable,
with call loans renewing at 3l2 per
cent and the rate later dropping to 3.
Business news was for the most part
scarcely of a character to influence the
market. The further cut in copper
prices caused some liquidation of the
coppers during the morning, but losses
were moderate. Chain store sales re-
ports for April are largely favorable. but
comparisons are made difficult by the
later date of Easter. Cuts in steel wire
products by independents had been
fereshadowed last week. Reports from
California oil circles indicated that
some trouble is being experienced with
the curtailment program at Santa Fe
Springs. but settlement without re-
newed price cutting is expected.
Utilities in Advance.
The forward movement in the utili-
ties carried such issues as American
Power & Light. North American, Ameri-
can Water Works, Western Union,
Standard Gas and American Telephone
up nearly 10 points. Investment rails
joined the advance, such issues as
Southern Railway, Chesapeake &, Ohio,
New York Central. Delaware & Hudson,
Atchison and Union Pacific mounting 4
to 8 points. Such shares as Radio, u. S.
Steel and General Electric recorded
gains of a point or two after absorbing
