Former Local Priests Greete Al Outing

Through Q happy coincidence yesterday the graduates of St Margarct's par0chial school and the altar boys had the occasion to greet their former pastor, Rev. Edward J.

CLOCCED CHIMNEY
 CAUSE OF ALARM
Block of Wood RespOn. sible for Scare in Cath-
 'erine Ave. Residence

The fire department answered 8 bell alarm from Box 154 this morning ,only to find that burning papers in . range in the two fam. fly house at 101-103 x. Catherine avenue once known as Wall avenue. had clogged up the chimney, al- lowing for smoke to permeate the entire building. The occupants of the house were MT. and Mrs. Her. man Pekrull, second floor, and Mfr. and Mrs. Michael Mclaughlin, on the first floor. They had become frightened when. they found the house full of smoke, and issued a cry of fire, which brought Acting Chife Thomas Cavanaugs, Acting Deputy Martin Campion, Engine companies 9 and 2, with Truck No. 3, and the chemical engine of En- zine 10 at fire heaquarters. Capt. Richard Sheehan commanded En. zine [ and Lieut.. John Crean was in charge of Truck 3, with Acting Lieut.. F. P. Griffin in charge of En- zine 3. Acting Lieut.. Patrick Lynch was in charge of the chem. ical negine.
 From an Investigation conducted by the fire officials 1t was found that the chimney was clogged with soot, and that the chimney door was missing. Tn addition a good sized block of wood was found in the chimney, and 1t had smoul- dered.
 Familiar Place
 The section where the fire oc- cured is part of what was gener- ally known in the old days as Wall avenue. It was up here that the O'Learys lived, one Billy, an old. time actor; the Careys lived next door, with the Higgins family just east. And at the extreme east lived Johnny and Billy Glynn. Their old well, which stood almost in the middle of the street, was a favorite stopping place to quench the thirst of all the kids" of that particular time. But there were more kids around today than when the Glynns lived there. The old Mee- han place, on the south side still stands, but none of that family now occupy 1t. old families have been Zone for these many years. The building at the corner of Wall street and Catherine avenue was once owned by the Farrels, and was a great place 1t was in the old days. Now 1t has about half a dozen families to two in the days we speak of.
 And just after apparatus had re- turned to fire headquarters, there was a hurried call for fire appara- tus to Cottage place, which moved Capt. Joe. Kelley and his big truck from headquarters. followed by the the bumper and the chemical en- zine.
 But when they arrived they found the alarm was for Pontiac sedan, 1884 type, marker number of K. F., 9s5, owned by Dean l.. Kaufman. The machine was dam aged little, If any. A short circuit caused the trouble.

On Pacific Flight

WASHINGTON. June 10. U.P) -
All passenger traffic across the Pa
clfic is unlikely ia the near future
because Of commerce department
regulations, Jesse M. Donaldson,
deputy second assistant postmaster
general. informed a congressional
committee.
1T is my understanding that the
department OF commerce does not
consider that any ahship in oper-
alton today could be licensed to
carry passengers across the Paci-
fic."
The plane flown in test flights,
Donaldson said was a passenger
snip that had been in service on
the South American line, but near
" all the passenger space was oc-
cupied ON the trial flight by enler-
gency gasoline tanks.
7 am quite sure that with the
loads these ships would have to
carry between San Francisco and
Hawaii they could never obtain
permission to carry passengers.
