verts the flro chief Into a scavenger Diily) On their inspection ot the busl- "BBSI district of Emporia yesterday, the members of the, Kansas State Klre Prevention 'Association found delects In 34 per'cent the buildings iu one or another, migtitue the causes of disastrous fires, At the meeting of the committee and members of the Emporia Commercial Club last evening Charles F. of Topeka, 'chairman'of the gave a detailed report of the findings of the inspection anil Frank L. Brittbn, offered suggestions as what steps to take to remedy the'conditions by nieaps of ordinances. At thirty-two business houses Emporia the inspectors found accumulations of rubbish, according to the report of Mr: Hardy, and minor findings -were: pfifectiye electric wiring, 14; defective heating sys- ters, 12; moving picture machines run by motor, rubber hose gas connections, miscellaneous 16; or. total -of 79 defects out of 230 buildings.

The inspectors aid not. have time to inake an inspection bt the rooming houses where Normal' and College students are kept, but in the only building of this kind, inspected, the heating system was found to be. at Perfect harmony prevailed among the inspectors. and the Cqmmercial Club members, although some of the things said struck close home to sonic of the latter. The meeting was attended by a-'large per cent of the thinking men -of the town; men who are.anxious to do all in their power to save their buildings and their employees.

Mr. Hardy, who had. charge of the meeting, to the subject without preliminary Introduction, and after expressing briefly the ooject of the inspectors in coming to Emporia, introduced Samuel F. Woolard, of Wichita, who gave an excellent paper on'the prevention ot fires. Mr.

Woolard gave a. detailed account of the fire losses in the United States as compared to the losses in European countries, and showed that while the loss in Europe is but 33 cents per person, the loss in the United States is between $2.00 and J3 per difference between the two being due to stringent laws in Europe, which statement paved the way for Frank Britton's talk on "ordinances." While the other members of the committee were inspecting build- Ings yesterday afternoon, Mr. Britton went to the city building and looked up all Emporia's ordinances Infregard to fires and lire projection, and at the close of his research he said he thought the ordinances were too lenient, and the fire chief had little or no a list of nine subjects which, he says, should be governed by ordinances, most of which ISmporia lacks. One of the ilrst and most Important ordinances the city should have, Mr. Britton says, is an ordinance requiring a regular inspection by members of the fire department qualified to perform that function and armed with authority to enforce their recbmmen- This inspection not only would enable them to point out precautions which should be taken to guard against.

fires, but also would make them familiar with the premises, so it would not be necessary, in case of fire, to find someone familiar with the place to toll how to get to a certain part of the house or building to combat the fire. The storage of oil and explosives should be regulated by more stringent laws, Mr. Britton suggests, as at present the ordinance allows fifty gallons of oil'-or gasoline, or fifty pounds of powder on the premises, which quantities are too large. Cement blocks, terra eotta, tile and stovepipe flues should be absolutely prohibited, Mr. Britton says, and an inspection of all flues should be made each fall before the winter' fires arc started.

The storing and accumulation of rags and rubbish should be prohibited as one of the first, precautions, he suggests, as many of the worst fires, are caused by sparks catching in rubbish, old papers or piles of excelsior. An ordinance also should be passed by the commissioners, he says, regulating the burning of trash so all of It may be done in the forenoon, instead of in the afternoon or oven- ing. When fires are left to burn themselves out in the evening, he asserts, often a wind will come -up during the night and fan the dying embers into a flame, which in tui-n may cause a fire while occupants of the house are Rubber gas hose connections are another of the common dangers pointed out by Sir. Britton. Ordinances also should be passed by the city officials, regulating the kind of buildings which shall be erected and providing for chemical fire extinguishers, and to safeguard the business districts of the town the hose couplings of the city should be made intercbangable with the couplings of cities, so additional hose could be procured from neighboring towns in case of a big fire.

Most of these ordinances are represented by weak ordinances, he says, but no penalties are provided for failure to abide by them. For he claims, the ordinance in regard to rubbish says the fire chief shall notify the owner of the property, and. if the rubbish is not removed, order it moved and assess the costs against Ific promises, which con- In Sallna, he says, the ordinance a court line of flO for -the' flrst 5 offense, and -the! flne'ii increased for each' subsequent of; fense; but 'they- rurely, if -ever. get a chance to fine 'a- man more-- thini once.

In his talk Mr. from $2.46 in 1909 to 58 cents Inj Hamlin said this land was tlior- 1912, per person. The Inspectors went 10 their homes this morning. They try to inspect one town each month, but their regular duties do not allow many tripe over. the.

They previously inspected Wichita. Hutchinson, Independence, Sulina, Coffeyville; and other towns, and found the. conditions about the same as in Emporia. In every town the conditions have existed through carelessness, the inspectors say, but it is better to use an' ounce of prevention instead of calling up several thousand pounds when it is too late. The of cure Emporia Commercial Club probably, will get behind the propositions as suggested by the committee, and will en-' deavo'r to have ordinances passed to remedy the conditions.

Firty-elghth Wedding Anniversary. Mrs; S. .1. Pierce, of 10.10 West Street, entertained informally Saturday noon with a dinner in honor of the fifty-eighth wedding anniversary of her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs: Frederick Bisse'.

One reason why. the industry did not net more -io the 1 growers in this county this year was that sufficient labor not be had.

However, the majority ot those who raised beets this year, and even thpsb'who made no money their crop, have declared that they thought tho industry would be successful, and that they would put in a larger acreage this year. They all attributed this year's light wop to the lack of sufficient labor. Some of those raised beets this year were successful. Ed Rickabaugh, of near fimporia, cleared $35 an acre on eleven acres. Mir.

Hamlin told the men at thfe meeting that with a sufficient acreage a factory would no doubt be. built here. Later, in an interview with; Gazette reporter, he said that while "hie was making no definite promises of building a factory, he thought if an acreage of S.OOO was attained it would pay to install one here equal to the one to a "chronic' sorehead, cross anil Tiieaii.

The sugar beet men here think there, will be no difficulty in getting the promise of 1,000 acres for next year, tind if this is obtained the company will put in a large acreage themselves. After Mr. Hamlin finished Mis talk several of the men who have liad experience in Hie cultivation of the beet in this country told of their experiences and, although some of them had not made much on their crop, they all said they would put in more beets next year, and they think this locality is singularly fitted for their cultivation. Mr. Hamlin went to a meeting of ttie interested ones at Plymouth, Saturday night.

speaking ot the meeting, ho said: "Tho men showed no excitement, but seemed, bo thinking hard on the subject, and that is what we desire, as the results attained from thoughtful and intelligent work sire those that count. We do not want them to go into this blindly, but thoroughly to understand what they are undertaking." Tliclr rnjajiias.
