tremendously inadequate" and a

tion Association. The association is

the Hotel Statler with nearly 1000
of the 1854 members present.
Links Depressions to Losses.
"There is a direct relationship be-
tween business slumps and fire
losses"
I'VE definitely need to know what
causes the few who commit arson to
take that way out We are now
locking the barn door after the
horse is stolen-giving punishment
for arson after it is committed. If
we know more about its causes we
could do more prevention work"
z. A. Wakefield, general manager
Of the Fire Underwriters Investiga-
ton Bureau of Canada, also urged
more thorough investigations Of the
causes of fires
George w. Clough. fire marshal
of Nassau County. N. Y. was elected
chairman of the fire marshal's
section.

At a general session Of the associ-
alton, w. E. Reynolds. public build
ings administrator, and Executive
Committee chairman of the Presi-
dents Conference on Fire Preven-
ton, reported on the work done by

the place of Maj. Gen. Philip B.
Fleming, public works administrator
and general chairman OF the con-
ference, whose illness prevented him

Mr.. Reynolds said the confer
ence's full report would be in the

Last night Earl o. Shreve, presi-

Harris, Of Arkansas definitely
will be behind the plate. He's
the bravest man on the squad

owns a catcher's mitt."
Richards said the Democratic
roster still is not complete and
that he will welcome any candi-
dates.
Particularly Northerners," he
added. They stand the cool
breezes in the outfleld better than
us Southerners. We seem to do
better in the infield, where things
are hotter
Richards denied he had chosen
practice field south OF the
Potomac River to placate his
Dixie players.
"It just happened to be good
field and the most convenient
for us" he explained. I'VE
could have worked out with the
Republicans at Eastern High
School, but we don't want to
show them anything. Let them
find out for themselves how the

American League has agreed to

fore the game, which will be

The District group this year
raised more than $4,000 through

In taking its action, the national
group said it was not passing on
the merits of charges made against
the society, its officers or personnel
or the accuracy of publicity arising
from these charges. Nevertheless,
1t said it felt the reorganization
was necessary so that the ef-

Grocer Sues for $4,000
On False Arrest Charqe

James o. Terreri, grocer Of 1877
C street NE, wants District Court
to award him $4,000 damages
against the Prudential Life Insur-
ance Co.. 261 Constitution avenue
NV. and two of its Washington
officials.
Mr.. Terreri, through Attorney
John Webster, filed a suit yester-
day in District Court. He named
as defendants the company, R. c.
Morrow, district manager. and Will
liam J. Pearson, 320 Eighteenth
pl. NE. one of its agents.
The court was told in the suit
that, on February IT, Mr. Pearson
sold MI. Terreri life insurance
policy on the life of his newborn
son, now 2 months old. But the
grocer declared that instead of the
policy being for $1,000, as he UNDER
stood, it was only for 5000 to begin
with, growing larger as the boy grew
older.
When Mr.. Pearson became argu-
mentative, Mr.. Terreri ordered him
out of the store, the suit says. He
refused to go and instead hit the
grocer, it is charged. Then the
agent swore out a warrant charg-
ing the grocer with assault, accord
ing to Mr.. Terreri. The upshot was
Mr.. Terreri got a directed verdict of
acquittal in Municipal Court, the
suit recited.
