Questions Duncan's Logic _ on Extra Sprinkler Charge

[Richmond Evening Item] The apparent determination of the public service commission of Indiana to impose a •‘readineas-to-serve” charge on the sprinkling systems installed in Richmond factories and business houses Is as surprising as it la mystifying. If the commission decides, as Chairman Duncan hsa Indicated that it will do. to Impose this charge, we fear that Its efficiency will be considered destroyed, as such an act will be a great obstruction in the path of constructive progress. The public service commission, aa we understand it, was created for the warsuch justify a reasonable return on the company’s investment, as determined by the physical value of It* "used and useful property.” Plainly, the installation- of a sprinkler system minimises the danger of fire, and aa such a preventative,, it possesses an aconomlo value to the community. In no sense does it involve an expenditure by the Richmond city water works, as the entire cost is borne by the property owner. Judge Duncan evidently feels that the disastrous results of a conflagration are not to be compared with the disaster resulting from a small deficiency in the company’s revenue, of which, after all. there la a question of doubt whether it would exist under normal conditions. H The point, as we see it. that should be Impressed not only upon the commission

[Special to The Indianapolis News] RICHMOND, Ind., May 29.—Gilbert H. Hendren, head of the state board of accounts, whose ire was aroused by the criticism of the Richmond Item in'regard to his ruling as to the pay of teachers in the publle schools on Memorial day, and who issued a statement in reply to the criticism, is still the target for the Item's editorial writer. In his statement to the Item a few days ago, Mr. Hendren said, among other things: “It is right and proper for teachers as well as all other citizens to be patriotic, but teachers and others ought not to be patHotic at the public expense.” Reply of the Item. The Item replies to this specific plea with the following: "Since Mr. Hendren Includes ‘others’ as well as teachers who should not be patriotic at the public expense, perhaps he will be good enough to tell us whether he deducts one day’s pay from his own warrant at the end of the month for any day he observes in a pa-

triotic manner.

"Also, while we are on the subject of strict accounting of public funds, Mr. Hendren might inform us whether he deducts from his salary for those days when he is out campaigning over the state in the interest of various candidates. "Of course Mr. Hendren will plead that the teacher Is on a per diem basis, and that other officers are not. That ds a mere technicality. If one person in the public service is required to give a strict accounting of each day’s work, then all should be, whether they are on a per diem basis or not. On Dangerous Ground. ‘Mr. Hendren undoubtedly is a dandy little accountant, but when he butts in on Memorial day observance he Is treading on dangerous ground- The public is in no mood to tolerate such hair-splitting legal interpretations as Mr. Hendren laid down in the Richmond school case?’ Despite the ruling of the state board of accounts to the effect that the schools can not obaerve the holiday legally unless the teachers' pay Is deducted, the usual observance will be held tomorrow in Richmond. The schools will hold a morning session, but will close in the afternoon. This, it is understood, will constitute a "day” and the teachers will not lose their pay. Practically all of the flowers that will be used by the Grand Army and kindred organizations in decorating the graves of soldiers tomorrow will be provided by the school children, who will take their contributions to the various school buildings in the morning, where they will be collected and taken to the cemeteries.

but upon Governor Ralston, himself, is that the Richmond City Water Works Company has no claim to one dollar in the physical values that make up the various sprinkling systems in Richmond. And, apart from being paid for the water that might be used by such systems, the company has no claim to a revenue from such sources. Furthermore, the officers of the company, themselves, admit that this is the case and agree that their cor poratlon has no right to a readlness-to-serve sprinkler charge. If we ate ^gorrectly informed the city of Richmond already pays between 116,000 and $17,000 annually for hydrant rental, which is a readiness-to-serve charge for such fire protection as the city might reasonably be required to provide; and any additional charge over and ahpve this amount for fire protection, when such “protection" cost is reduced by the Installation of fire “prevention” devices, such as sprinkler systems, Is nothing short of exercising a legal right to commit a dishonest act. . yj. Instead of Increasing Are protection revenue, because of such fire prevention devices, the protection cost should be reduced. The prevention minimizes the necessity for protection, but on the basis of the commission’s expected ruling, if some device should be invented that would entirely eliminate fires the cost of fire protection should be Increased proportionately. Where is the logic? If the commission rules that the water works company Is entitled to a revenue on another man’s investment, which is what a "readiness-to-service” charge in this case amounts to, the city should appeal immediately. We believe that no Jury would permit such an unjust charge to stand. “ There is Just as much justice in the commission ruling that the water works company is entitled to a readlness-to-service charge on every pail and dishp&n we keep in our kitchen, on the hypothesis that we would use them to put out a fire If one occurred in our fiat, as there la In ths plan to penalize those of our citizens who have Installed sprinkler sys-

- Duncan’s Salem Fire Remarks.!

To tho Editor of Tho News:

Sir—In the report of the hearing on the petition of the Richmond Water Company asking that a rate be established for automatic sprinkler systems in business houses and manufacturing plants, your publication In its issue of May 20 quotes Thomas Duncan, chairman of the public utilities commission, Indianapolis,

as follows:

"Don’t you know that at the Salem fire a sprinkler system broke down and put the waterworks out of business, and that the city of Salem was then destroyed?” Mr. Duncan has been misinformed as to what transpired at Salem. The fire there started in a highly combustible baUding of considerable size which was not equipped with automatic sprinklers. The hydrant near the building, to which

the first fire engine respond!i alarm was connected, had

doned so quickly that it could not be shut off. when the fire wrecked the building more water was wasted through broken service connections, which were of large size, as the building was occu-

pied as a tannery

The sprinkler system, which Mr. Duncan says broke down and put the water works out of business, would not have broken down had there been sufficient water pressure to make effective the operation of the system, but the breaking down of this system did not put the water works out of business. Moreover, if the building in which the Salem fire started had been equipped with automatic sprinklers, there would not have been any Salem conflagration to talk about You can veryify this statement by consulting the report on the fire issued by the National Fir© Protection Association, Boston.

It is expected that hundreds of suffraists from Indiana will take part in the big parade and in the organizing of the Woman’s party, which will take place at the time of the Republican convention. Indiana women are asked to otify Mrs Edwards, this week, whether they will attend and take part in tho parade.

More than fifteen clubs and industrial organizat. ms have arranged for special tables at the “Industrial preparedness" banquet at the Claypool hotel tonight, j These special accommodations have been provided because of the large representation xvhich has come from these clubs and factories. The dinner is being given under the auspices of the Society of Automobile Engineers, and Howard E. Coffin, chairman of the industrial preparedness committee of the naval consulting board, will be the chief speaker. Among the clubs and civic organizations that have made table reservations are the University Club, Columbia Club, German House, Chamber of Commerce, Transportation Club and Metal Trades Association. Among the large business houses of the city which have arranged for special tables are the Cole Motor Car Company’, Eli Lilly Company, Link Belt Company’, National Motor Vehicle Company, Nordyke & Marmon Company’, Premier Corporation, Prest-O-Lite Company, Diamond Chain Company, Weidely Motor Company and the Pathfinder Company.

Not only among automobile engineers but among business and professional men In i general, there seems to be a very urgent desire for preparedness. It is simply a precautionary measure for the industries to be so 'catalogued that they can be called on quickly in case of need. Mr. Coffin, W’ho will speak tonight, is thoroughly versed in this subject and has been very active in the work of the committee. We feel that he will have a very interesting message to deliver and any one interested is invited to attend."

Sir—the citizens or Indianapolis were informed by the morning press that the “city presents Kahn home to state.” It states further that the park board voted to give the Kahn home to the state of Indiana for a Governor's mansion.

GATHERING QUATE

IN CHICAGO FOR ADEPREPAREDNESS.

CENTRAL BODY IS PROPOSED

CHICAGO, May 29.—Loyalty of Germans to the United States was declared yesterday at a representative gathering of Germans from all over the country. A “creed” was submitted by the GermanAmerican Newspaper Publishers’ Association in which it was asserted that Germans “might, be hyphenated Americans, but their Americanism is unhyphenated.” The “creed” presented at the meeting was to be acted on at another meeting to be held today. Some of the things which the creed advocated were: An adequate preparedness, based on patriotism; American ships for foreign commerce; maintenance of the Panama canal free to American ships; insistence by America on the freedom of the seas. The meeting was presided over by J. Bfl Meyer, Philadelphia manufacturer, and the majority of the representatives in attendance are here to attend the Republican convention. It is the intention to form in Chicago a central body, which shall keep In touch with all German-American organizations in the country with a view to guiding them in matters of national political importance and on other questions in which they ^re interested.

park district.

For years, in practically every general assembly, attempts have been made to purchase a Governor’s mansion, but the proposition has been repeatedly voted down by the state's representatives. The state should have a Governor's residence, but if the state's representatives will not buy it why should the north park district buy it for the state? The state of Indiana is rich and able to pay, and it Is certainly unjust to foist its purchase on j to the north park district, j Another thought that occurs to the average man is, if the property is suitable and can be used for residence purposes why was Mr. Kahn deprived of his beautiful home? The park board certainly had no right to appropriate Mr. Kahn's home unless it was required for park purposes. However, if it was believed at the time it was taken that it was needed for park purposes, and it is now ascertained that K is not required for that purpose it certainly has a value, and what right or authority has the park board to give

it away?

Already the public is protesting that the park system is for the benefit of the automobile owners, and if the park board proposes to add Governors’ mansions to the park district assessments it is certainly time to enter a protest. As one who believes that the state should have a Governor’s mansion, and the city a park system. I desire to protest against giving a $65,000 residence to a state that will not buy, and compel a park district to pay for it. May 26. THOMAS A. DAILY.

ie war. Since tnen vague reports oi his activities in Germany have been all that have reached the Irish public, in sptie of the fact that he was in touch with the leaders of the recent rebellion. As an element in Irish politics. Casement had no existence. The Importance attached to his connection with the Sinn Fein revolt, both in England and abroad, is not understood

in this country.

Casement “entirely unknown in the capital of Ireland.” Was there ever a mor© absurd falsehood? He presided at the oiganization of the Irish volunteers in Dublin, November 23, 1913, and was chairman of a committee of Dublin men appointed to call on Asquith and protest

against the abandonment of

as a port of call by the Trans-Atlant liners. He has been foremost in the Gaelic League for many years, giving it great attention even when abroad. He was sent all the way from Ireland to America to address the national convention of the A. O. H. of America, at Nor- !

folk. Va.. in July, 1914.

And such a man, according to the censor is “entirely unknown” and "there is no interest in his trial." This dispatch is typical of what we are getting from our intelligent P’nglish friends who think they can fool all the American people all

the time.

In the interest of truth and fair play. I hope The News will publish this The News and other papers are, of course, at

Roger Casement and Dublin. To the Editor of The News: Sir—Of course, every one knows that the American newspapers are absolutely at the mercy of the English censor in the matter of getting news of the actual happenings on the other side, particularly in Ireland. Nothing inimical to the interests of Great Britain is permitted to pass the censor and that official has in London and Dublin a staff of editors, one of whom is T. P. O’Connor, whose duty it is to color the news to suit English purposes. Of all the items I have seen that gave evidence of deliberate “doctoring" to mislead th© public in this country the following item which you carried Friday caps the climax:

WOMAN GAINS STRENGTH AS TIQED FEELING GOES

Mrs. A. Trosky, a well known Indianapolis woman who lives at 1122 Sterling street, told, recently, how a tired and draggy feeling that had bothered her for some time, disappeared after she started using Tanlac, the new medicine. Mrs. Trosky said: "My system was in a general rundown condition. I didn't sleep well and when Fd get up in mornings I wouldn’t feel rested. I was very nervous. Even the least noise would startle me. My appetite was poor. ‘‘I saw in the newspapers the accounts of Tanlac’s help for people who live right here in Indianapolis, and I decided to try the new medicinei My sleep is more peaceful and riatful

since I began taking Tanlac and I feel stronger. I’m not nearly so nervous.

My appetite is improved.

“Tanlac has done me a lot of good and, therefore, I reeonvmend it.” Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is especially beneficial for stomach, liver and kidney trouble, catarrhal complaints, rheumatism, nervousness, loss of appetite and the like and is a fine blood purifier and system clearser. Tanlac is now being introduced in Indianapolis at the Washington and Pennsylvania streets store of Henry J. Huder, where the new preparation is being explained to the public. It also may be obtained in Indianapolis at Huder’s Michigan and Illmms

streets store.—Advertisement.
