UNDERWRITERS CENSURE FIRE DEPARTMENT (Continued From Pa ye One.) illation, use of standpipes and sprinklers and operation of pumpers. The recently inaugurated company drills, under a trained drill master, -will improve conditions, but effective fire service can not bo expected unless regular and systematic drills are held at a properly equipped tower, with special c mrses for new men and for officers.” (Since the report was prepared erection of a fire tower has been started at fire headquarters.) “Third, the undermanning of companies in high value districts, where practically all engine and ladder companies are deficient in strength in the daytime and three men short at night, from a minimum believed necessary for efficient fire duty. The effectiveness of motor equipment. with its greater range of operation, more carrying capacity, and greater ease of operation, makes it possible to eliminate some of the existing companies, which are unnecessarily closely grouped, and to better man the others without an Increase in total maintenance cost. “In some other minor features fbe department is subject to crieicism; the running card is in need of revision; increase in repair shop facilities is desirable, and some stations are in need of rearrangement and repair. STMBEK OF COMPANIES AMTI-E. “The total number of companies is ample, and all sections except the extreme northern part of the city have companies within reasonable running distance; chemical service has been much Improved. The general condition or equipment is good, as most of it is new and well selected for the serv'ce. The amount of hose is sufficient api the recent purchase of three-inch hose is along the right lines. Minor equipment is fair complete and heavy and special stream appliances are generally sufficient. Very creditable results are being accomplished In Sre prevention.” In a section of the report upon tae subject of “operation,” is the following passage: "Observations made during this Inspection Indicated that there was too much familiarity between officers and men. proper deference was not shown to superior officers, discipline was slack tn many houses and men and stations generally presented an untidy appearance.” One passage under “operations" refers to the order issued after the disastrous neighborhood fire in New Jersey •treet and Central avenue near Twelfth street. Failure to connect pumpers in time caused a delay In getting the proper amount of water on the fire, the board of safety learned after Investigation. The i board announced that It had found a remedy for this and ordered that thereafter the first pumper to a fire should stop at a hydrant and get ready to throw water no matter how small the fire looked. FIND ORDER NOT FULLY ENFORCED. The report of the underwriters’ engineers shows that despite the great publicity given to the order at the time It was issued It has not been completely enforced. The passage bearing upon this Is as follows: “The latest orders are for the first due company to lay a line from the hydrant to the fire and get ready to connect the , pump If hydrant pressure Is not sufS- j dent; since hydrant hose gates are not '■ carried this necessitates shutting down ; the hydrant: following companies con- i nect their engines and prepare to operates At a number of alarms attended, j it was noted that all companies collected Immediately In front of the scene oi the fire, no Stj-lnch hose was laid and no engine had stopped at a hydrant.” The underwriters' engineers believe the reliance placed upon pressure maintained by the Indianapolis Water Company to be an inefficient practice at best, the report indicates. It says: “Though all companies are now equipped with steamers or automobile pumpers, little nse is made of them, the department still relying on hose lines direct from hydrants and upon the ware company raising pressure; during 11*20 there were 3,150 alarms, an average of 8.3 per day. Now that the department has sufficient number of engines in service, there should be no necessity for raising pressures, and In a city the size of Indianapolis the Increase In consumption rate and the liability of failure of the mains at a critical time, constitute good arguments against this practice. Experience In this city is that the fire department can respond and connect the pumpers and have sufficient pres *ure for effective streams In less time than the water company can raise pressure. Upon completion of a thorough training of crews, and after a sufficient period, during which pumpers are used, the practice of raising pressure for fires could le discontinued.” The report says that while companies have orders to use stiff suction hose in the congested district and soft suctions elsewhere at a second alarm fire In the congested district three engines were noted using two and one-half-inch soft ■notion hose. HOSE ROLLERS NOT PROVIDED. “Hose lines usually are carried up •tairway6 in two and three story buildings, and raised to higher stairways and the roof by a rope: hose rollers have not been provided,” continues the report. “Steps are* taken to ventilate after hose lines are made ready, but the importance of ventilation is not fully understood. Few smoke protectors are provided and these have only been used when ammonia gas Is present.” The fact that the high officials of the department are changed every time anew mayor Is elected Is cited in the report. It also sets out that at the time the investigation was made there were five officers and seventeen privates over 62 years of age and a total of 2 per cent of the force over 50. Addition of 214 men to the force through the installation of the two platoon system means that over onethird of the force Is Inexperienced, the report states. This condition has materially affected the efficiency of the department. “Some steps are being token to remedy this through the introduction of drills and training at the various fire stations, bnt there Is no drill tower and no provisions have been made for Intensive training.” Pumper drivers have been given Instruction In the operation of the pumps by the master mechanic, but not to full capacity, the engineers found while “no Instruction has been given In the raising of ladders and It was found that there Is no uniform practice in handling ladders. TRAINING, TEAM WORK LACKING. “During this inspection companies were run out and engine companies ordered to couple engines to hydrants aDd raise pressure to 100 pounds, and ladder companies to raise their longest ladder.” The report says the best time made by an engine company was one minute and sixteen seconds; the best time by an aerial company, two minutes and forty-five seconds and by a service ladder truck company, one minute and twenty-four seconds. “In a few cases motors were stalled and men were unfamiliar with their operation.” the report continues. “In general, the men showed a lack of training and knowledge of their equipment and team work of companies was lacking There was no uniform method of raising ground extension ladders. "In all cases In connecting pumper to hydrant the two and one-half-inch soft ■action was used; in a number of inrtances they collapsed when the pump was started, which delayed somewhat the raising of pressure. This would not kaje happened with stiff suction. The

soft suction Is connected to one side of the pump and in a few instances it was necessary to turn the apparatus.” Complete motorization of the department gives distribution such that, “only in the northern part of the city, where no engines are nearer than three miles and no chemical or ladder truck is within four miles, is an increase in protection necessary.” the engineers state. “But there are more companies than are needed in gome sections and, by moving a number of companies and redistributing apparatus, ample protection would be provided for all parts cf the city. Stations 1,6, 7, 13 and 31 are within 3,200 feet of each other; Stations 2,5, 8 and 22 are within 4,700 feet of Station 16; and Stations 3, 4. 26 and 30 are within one mile of Station 17; the closing of Stations 6, 16, 17 and 31. and distributing the men among other companies wonld not detract from the general protection, bnt wonld improve it by increasing strength of remaining companies. CONCENTRATION NOT JUSTIFIED. “Three of the four aerial ladder trucks are located south of the congested value district and within 3,600 feet of each other. Conditions do not warrant the concentration of so mnch important apparatus within such a small area, at tne expense of other parts of tie city. “In a number of instances .adder companies are located in adjoining houses; ordinarily a ladder company in each alternate house will provide ample ladder service.” Upon the proposal to establish an engine and ladder company at Central avenue and Fifty-Second street the report comments: “this Is a little close to existing companies; a location farther north would be better and would provide protection to Broad Hippie, when it becomes a part of the city, or at present under a mutual aid agreement.” Speaking of a test of equipment, both new and old, made by the engineers, the report says that in general the engines ran well but one engine could not be kept going at capacity because of defective spark plugs and a gasket on the automatic relief valve of Engine 28 blew out during the high pressure test. “It was necessary to make adjustments in practically all engines before proceeding with the test, such as tightening or changing the fan belt, adjusting the carburetor, tightening down the cylinder blocks, or changing circulating water pipe and one suction coupling was defective. The operators received instructions from the master mechanic or representative of the manufacturers, and when left to run the engines themselves showed a general lack of training in heavy running.” The engineers found minor equipment fairly uniform in amount hut deficient in many pieces usually considered necessary. They also found that new hose is not tested, the department waiting until the annual tests of all hose. SIXTEEN COMPANIES HAVE FILL ALLOTMENT.

“The total amount of and 2inch hose on hand allows an average of 2,020 feet per company, but only ten companies have a full allotment of 2,000 feet and eleven companies carry only 800 or 000 feet; five companies in and near the congested value district carry 200 feet of 3-incli hose, all purchased this year. Hose is dried In short towers and usually rolled and piled In rear of station. It was noted that much of the hose used during the various tests showed considerable wear and that It was needlessly run over by apparatus; at one house hose was stretched across the driveway for drying. The fire department repair shop in the rear of Engine House No. 30 was found too small by the engineers. Some tire stations were discovered to have defective wiring. An excess number of companies were found responding to practically alt alarms. “This was formerly necessary to secure an adequate numoer of men to handle even an ordinary fire,” says tne report. “With the present manning and automobile apparatus this is seldom necessary. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS. Nineteen specific recommendations for improvements are made In the report. Six designated as the most important and recommended for early adoption are as follows: "That the chief and other officers he appointed for indefinite terms, after suitable examination for fitness and subject to removal only for cause after public trial. “That present company strength be reassigned so that companies In high value districts will have six men minimum and other companies fonr men. “That a suitable drill tower and necessary equipment be provided. “That department schools include provisions as follows: “A. For training and drilling of all new members; instructions to be given In the use of all tools and appliances used by the department, In life saving and in first aid; drills to Include the use of pompier and extension ladders, quick handling and raising of hose, operation of hydrants, valves and streams from deluge sets, water tower, turrets, ladder pipes and special nozzles. “B. An officers' fire college, for the instruction of all officers and candidates for promotion to officers, in standard methods and uniform practice in fire fighting, and that they be required to learn the State laws, city ordinances and regulations permitting to the department, to buildings and to fire protection and prevention. “C.

SECRET SESSION IS DE VALERA VICTORY. The decision to make today’s session secret was a tacit victory for De Valera. An open session will be held tomorrow. The motion for a secret session was made by Dr. White. Eamonn De Valera sprang from his seat and seconded It. Collins then got the floor and made a fiery speech. “Some have called me a traitor,” shouted the republican comtnander. “I want to clear myself publicly. I demand an open session. I have nothing to conceal. I signed the agreement upon the understanding that all were to recommend its acceptance.” Before the session was called to order, De Valera was asked for a statement on his differences with the Irish peace delegates. “At two meetings of the Dail Eireann when the delegates were present, I have clarified my point of view,” said the Sion Fein leader. “The assembly sent the delegates to London expecting they would have an opportunity to criticise and review the results of the conference. Certain alterations were made in the form of the treaty without cabinet sanction.”

PREMIER ASKS RATIFICATION OF IRISH PACT (Centinned From Page One.) navy. The government felt it would be better for Ireland and England If defense of these Islands was left to the British navy.” The Premier was given a tremendous ovution when he arose to speak.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14,1921.

SUSPENSION OF RULES PUTS PLAN ON WAY (Continued From Fago One.) to prevent It from breaking loose. As soon a8 the Governor had delivered his .message, Instead of going on with the regular order of business which would have been the introduction of bills, the upper house adjourned until 2 o’clock. The motion was made by Senator William E. English of Indianapolis. The adjournment was taken for the obvious purpose of preventing any attempt to introduce bills. It was indicated that despite the time set for convening, the Senate would recess until the reformatory bill is ready to be acted on. in this way action unfavorable to the administration was made difficult. SMITH NAMED SPEAKER BY VOTE OF 82 TO 10. Both Houes were called to order shortly after 10 o’clock. Immediately after the opening of the House Claude A. Smith of Princeton was named Speaker by a vote of 82 to 10. The ten dissenting votes were cast by the Democratic minority for R. U. Barker of Posey County, Democratic floor leader. The Senate was called to order at 10:25 o’clock by Lieutenant Governor Emmett F. Branch. The invocation was delivered by the Rev. George H. Savary, pastor of the First Congregational Church. A roll call showed a quorum present. Senator Maurice Douglass of Flat Rock, a Democratic member of the public service commission, was in his seat, although he : had not resigned as a member of the commission to take his place in the Assembly. A resolution on the death of John F. McClure, late Speaker of the House of Representatives, was presented by Sen- j ator John Alldredge of Anderson and unanimously adopted. Senator Oscar Ratts of Paoll presented a resolution providing that the rules of the last session shall apply to this session and it was adopted.

OFFICIALS AND COMMITTEES NAMED. Senators Andrew 11. Beardsley, Oliver E. Dunn and James H. Humphries were appointed to notify the Governor that j the Senate was in session. Senators Clem Richards, 'William E. English and j Joseph Henley were named to notify the ! House. Senators Roscoe Iviper, Will | Brown and Joseph M. Cravens were ap- j pointed to escort the Governor to the 1 Joint session of the House and Senate. William Lowden was named assistant | secretary of the Senate and It was announced that he would serve without pay. j Zell Swain is serving as secretary of the ! Senate without pay. The regular business was postponed until after the Governor had delivered his message. The two houses went into Joint session and the Governor started j talking at about 11 o’clock. In the House Mr. Smith was nominated j by Representative R. K. Bedgood of Tip- J peeanoe and Warren Counties, and was | seconded by Representative Omar New- i mnn of Marlon County. Mr. Barker was j nominated by Representative Thurman A. I Gottsehalk of Berne. Justiee Louis B. Ewbank of the Supreme Court adtnlnis- ! tereil the oath to Mr. Smith following his | election. Committees were appointed to wait on 1 the Governor and the Senate and notify j them that the House was In session. GOVERNOR’S V ETU OF BILLS UPHELD. Two House bills passed at the last regular session and vetoed by the Governor were returned to the House. They are House bills 111 and 217. The former per- i mils the trustees of the State Soldiers j Horae to expend funds of deceased sol- j diers to beautiful the home cemetery. The j other hill provides for the enlargement of j school districts in townships having pop- ; nlatlons of more than 1,800 and less than I 1,900 and fixing the salaries of trustees. | The Governor’s veto of the first bill was tipehld by a vote of 91 to 0. The j veto of the second bill was upheld by th° same vote. ABRAMS ( lIC UN TO HEAD JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. Representative Henry Abrams of \ Marion County was elected president of i Judiciary B committee to succeed Rep- I resentative Chester Davies of Jay County. J who is now attorney for the State fire j marshal’s office Representative John M.

Barker to Mr. Davis and Repre- j senfatlve Ray V. Gibbons of Anderson, both of whom are employed by the State, \ being paid mileage for coming to the, session. The objection was overruled by the adoption of the report of the com- j inlftee on mileage by the House. What was believed to be a significant ( indication concerning the question of the duration of the session was the fact the ; Republican members of the House in their ; caucus by nn almost unanimous vote defeated a resolution binding them to j the consideration of the reformatory l

measure only, and the fact that there was no positive feeling among the members of the Senate that the session would be limited. HOUSE MEMBERS OBJECT TO BEING BOUND. Many of the House members who voted against the resolution, however, expressed the opinion that the session should be limited, but stated that they objected to being bound by a written agreement. They said they preferred a “gentlemn’s agreement,” but no such agreement was reached. The resolution to limit the session was made by Representative George W. Sims of Terre Haute, Charles W. Harlan of Warsaw and Murray S. Barker of Thorntown. Immediately upon Its presentation Representative Henry Abrams of Indianapolis moved that it be tabled and the vote to table was almost unanimous. Mr. Abrams said afterward that he did not object to a short session, that he expected to introduce no bills, but that he opposed a formal agreement. Governor McCray and Edmund M. Wasmuth, Republican State chairman, addressed the House caucus. The Governor outlined the reformatory removal difficulties and requested that the session I be limited. He told the members he was not presuming to dictate, that they were free to do as they pleased, but he respectfully and earnestly requested a short session. And In his message today he again pleaded for a short session. The power of the Republican organization was invoked in favor of a limited session through Mr. Wasmutb. He told the members of the House that they should introduce no bills unless they believed them to be of sufficient Importance to merit the calling of a special session. He put his plea on an basis of duty to the party.

Sheridan mine, No. 19. was next visited on the southward march. The workers had fled. “On to Scammon” then became the battlecry and the overland Journey of nineteen miles was begun. Crawford County, the northern end of the field, has been completely captured. The towns of Franklin. Ringo. Mulberry, Frontonae and Chicopee -are under control of the “Amazon" army. All mines in that district are closed. “We nre going to every mine as far as trie Oklahoma line.” “General” Annie Stovlch declared. The first objectlcve will he a few t>rip mines along the border between the two counties about six miles south of this city. From there the drive will lead Into the heart of the Scammon district.

There were silk stockinged women, some without stock- j tngs. some with hats, others with caps and others wearing bright colored shawl*. “Bring on the militia." shouted th 6 leaders. "We will fight their bayonets and bullets with our hare hands." They denied, however, that they Intended to attempt nn attack upon the Columbns Jail in Cherokee County to j liberate the strikers' Imprisoned leader —A'.' ■’■andor Howat. At the lunch hour the “supply train.” a number of nutomobiles driven by striking miners and filled with provisions, drew up to the marchers and a halt was called. After a half hour the march was resumed. Every effort was being made to reach the Scammon district mines before the troops arrive, to close them as they riosed the mines at Crawford.

Factory Employes to Give Day's Pay for Chest Cause A novel way for factory workers to contribute to the Community Chest without breaking into their cash reserve, was opened today by the employes of Holcomb & Hoke. The superintendent of the factory came to Fred Hoke, president of the board of the Community Chest, and notified him that the employes desire to meet their quota 100 per cent. The chest drive managers have fixed ten hours’ wages as the yearly quota for factory workers. Since the Holcomb & Hoke factory is working only four days a week, the employes proposed that they work an extra day Monday and donate their wages to the chest. Mr. Hoke accepted.

NEWMAN AND ALLDREDGE TO SPONSOR ‘BONUS’ (Continued From Page One.) portunlty to attend vocational training schools. The adjutant general would administer the measure and would be empowered to employe such additional help as would be necessary to carry out the provisions of the act. The auditor of State is authorized to draw warrants for the bonuses, paying them to the veterans in monthly installments. The tax board is authorized to fix a tax levy to raise the necessary funds, which the sponsors estimate would be in the neighborhood of $13,000,000. The entire bill, If adopted by this session, would go before the voters next fall. The bill specifically provides that a majority of the votes cast for the measure would bring it Into operation. 1 Among the other bills which are expected to be introduced Is one granting cities of the fourth class an option on the adoption of the double platoon fire department system. As the law now stands It requires cities of this class to adopt the double platoon system. An amendment, which is In the hands of Senator William E. Bowers of New Haven, would strike out the word “shall" and insert the word “may” in the law. Senator Oliver Kline of Huntington has drawn a bill which would allow sheriffs to serve summons and processes over the telephone and would legalize all such service that has heretofore been made. “DANDERJNE” Grows Thick, Heavy Hair 35-cent Bottle Ends all Dandruff, Stops Hair Coming Out

Ten minutes after using Panderine you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after a few week’s use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first —yes — but really new hair—growing all over the scalp. Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them, helping the hair to grow long, strong and luxuriant. One application of Panderine makes thin, lifeless, coloress hair look youthfully bright, lustrous and Just twice as abundant. —Advertisement.

The Senator drew the bill after Judge G. M. Eberhart of Huntington recently held that the sheriff had no legal right to serve a summons over the telephone. The Senator said that he had been informed that such a finding might throw hundreds of legal settlements in Indiana in jeopardy. Senator Alfred Hogston has a bill repealing the present teachers’ pension law and substituting one that would provide for the pensions through general taxation. The present law creates a pension fund through subscriptions by the teachers.
