One of the best suggestions for acquiring better preparedness to fight fires is that of a fire-drill by the members at least once week as contained in letter of recom- mendations from Chief Mike Pu- sich to the Douglas Volunteer Fire Department presented at the regu- lar meeting last night. He explained the need for the firemen to become familiar with the hydrants. siamese couplings, and hose handling. He reported that a hose rack had been constructed on the truck and was equipped with 200 feet of the new |11a inch hose: also that few of the hydrants would drain them selves, and the rest would have to be pumped out. He warned against anyone taking the fire ladders from the hall without permission and stated another inspection against fire hazards here was planned by himself with Chief Mulvihill of Ju- neau assisting.
 The committee on the recent dance reported a total of $l07 cleared to be applied on the pur- chase of new fire truck: also do- nations of $50 had been received for the same purpose.
 The proposal to change the order of meetings from two to one a month was given second discussion and passed to the next meeting for final consideration before action is taken
 Under good of the order, former chief L. w. Kilburn gave a resume. of his recent trip east, telling of the various places he visited and things he saw.

would "put him next to some
real money"
Melvin denied all connection

Former Defense Detective
Predicts Reprieve.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Defense
counsel of Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann has in its possession new evil
dence completely shattering the case
on which the German carpenter was
convicted of the kidnapping ano
murder of the Lindbergh baby, Har-
old c. Keyes. former chief of the
defense investigation staff, said to-
day.
He predicted that Gov. Harold 6
Hoffman would sign reprieve.
"The facts in the possession OF
Gov. Hoffman are SUCH" he said
that do not see how he could dc
otherwise"
Asked why this supposed evidence
had not been produced in the va
rious court hearings, the investiga-
tor said:
Il believe it will be produced at
the proper time. OF course there is
still much to be done to reconstruct
the crime and rid the picture of the
distortions created by the New Jer-
Sey State Police.
i would not say now that Haupt-
mann can be shown to have been
innocent of extortion, but I am abb
solutely certain that he had moth
ing to do with the kidnapping and
death of that baby"

old story of the death Of loved
ones, brooding and Sespon-

Kitty, lion cub presented to
Chief Carl Brooks by Clyde

er playmate, Pal. Pal died and
Kitty developed a case of sulks.
Later she transferred her af-
fections to Nell, a spotted
coach dog. Last week Nell died

lice brought one dog after an
other. But Kitty would not
accept them.
Tuesday night the boys tied
a rope around Kitty's neck and
fastened it to a bench. Kitty
walked around the bench UNI
til the rope was taut. then lay
down until she strangled.
Her death was discovered just
as Beatty had sent word that
he was coming to Detroit with
Kitty's mother, Cleopatra, and
that he believed reunion
would fix everything up.
