seven open, unprotected trucks
whistled through the night. At
West and GHOSTS they learned
there was no fire.
In the snow they saw the prints
Of mans foot. He had stepped
from an auto-probably closed and
warm-three plops in the snow,
pulled the box ana stepped back
into his car
Naturally he was not around. If
there had been a crash of the
trucks on the icy streets, he would
not have seen it. He apparently
didn't even love a parade-he didn't
stay to see it.
But if he had stayed. there were

there had been a crash of the
trucks on the icy streets, he would
not have seen it. He apparently
didn't even love a parade-he didn t
stay to see it.
But if he had stayed. there were
so sputtering firemen there aching

Another PhOney Alarm.
Well this particular company re-
turned TO its house and, bang
there was another call-to Capitol
av and Ohio-st. Out into the cold
again they went. and learned this,
too, was a phony.
Again there were the footprints
of a man who had momentarily
descended from an auto, minced
over to the box, pulled it. returned
and departed.
The general suspicion was that it
was the same man who had done
them both. Again he was not in
sight. No one has the slightest
idea why he did it. unless it would
be psychologist and no one
talked to a psychologist about it.
Just Hide and Seek!
Least of all has Capt Shank of
Company Is any idea. Capt Shank
hasn't even ever talked to a false
alarm box puller The best way, he
says, to call the fire department,
anyway, is to phone. But if you
really must pull box, when there S
a real fire, don't lose your head by
Immediately running back to the
scene of the fire. That's just so
much hide and go seek.
More than once firemen had an
Swered a box alarm. decided it was
false when no one and no fire APP
peared to be around, and then had
to return TO a much worse fire.
Whoever pulled the box hadn t
stayed around to point out the fire
which might have been several
blocks away-to the firemen.
Children know more about cor
rectly turning in a fire alarm than
any one else, he says. They also
know more about fire prevention.
AS for the cold wave-Company
Is answered between 18 and 20
alarms in sub-zero and near zero
weather. After each run. fire or
false. they have to clean the
equipment which takes 30 minutes
if everybody works.
Nobody ever has thought of tax
ing fingerprints off the box when a
false alarm is turned in, or at least
Capt. Shank doesn't know who it
would have been.
They go only about 80 miles an
hour when streets are like this.
And by the way Lieut.. John Doyle
who on Friday, Dec. IS, lost boot
from truck Is from Engine House
13, found his boot again.
A Western Union messenger, see
ing the story of Mr.. Doyle's pre-
dicament in The Times, called him
yesterday and said he had found
it. Mr. Doyle went to get it.

The ship remained stationary, no
sign OF the pilot was seen
In growing alarm. ambulance and
rescue parties raced toward the
plane And there they found
the pilot unconscious with a. slight
cash in his head A cash of water
and he came to . and then told
his amazing tale.
It seems that the vibrations and
pulsationS which ran through the
ship during the beginning Of a dive
at about $50 miles an hour had
worked loose the damaged clasp Of
the cockpit cover. The wind had
whipped the cover off the cockpit
and it struck the pilot as it was
swept back over the fuselage,
The story had to be pieced to-
gether because the pilot claimed he
knew nothing of flying that ship up
side down or even of making a land
ing. His last recollection was of
watching the airspeed meter around
$50 miles an hour. There was
lldSH Oh AgnI ana something struck
him on the head-and the next
thing he remembered was the res
cuers bending over him, dashing
water on his face
This is real story of mind over
matter-of the subconscious air
mind controlling an airplane after
the real control tower-the pilot S
brain-had gone out of commission
1t may be hard to believe-but it's
true.

LAWMAKERS HOPE

Fish Predicts Ambassador
Will Be Questioned on
Mexican Situation.

The reaction to church.state trou-
bles in Mexico took q new turn today
when Representative Fish, Republican,
OF New York, predicted the House
Foreign Affairs Committee would ask
Josephus Daniels, American Ambas-
sador. to give his views on conditions
below the Rio Grande.
Ambassador Daniels Is now in this
country. Charging religious persecu-
ton, several legislators have sought
action in Congress. Senator Borah,
Republican, of Idaho. has introduced
q resolution asking that the Senate
protest and condemn the campaign
of the Mexican government against
the profession and practice OF reli-
gious beliefs by our nationals now
domiciled in Mexico" and that q Sen
ate committee conduct hearings.
Wants Economic Views.
Fish. ranking Republican on the
Foreign Affairs Committee, said it
expects to invite Ambassador Daniels
to appear and give his views on the
Mexican situation, economic, social
and therwise as we'll as religious. 1t
Is highly desirable that he tell us Of
conditions"
Fish is the author Of q resolution
that the President "uSe his good
offies with the Mexian government
and with other nations to permit the
fullest freedom of religious Worship"
Representative Higgins. Democrat,
of Massachusetts,, who introduced a
similar resolution. said "it would be
very acceptable If Mr.. Daniels could
give his description Of religious condi-
tions in Mexico to the President I.
personally. would like very much to
talk to him."
Borah Seeks More Support.
Borah said today: Il imagine he

tion. am not pressing it at the
moment because Of a delicate s.tua-
