FIRE LOSSES INCREASE
Damage So Far Nearly Double That
of Last Year
Hough estimate of fire losses In
Philadelphia since .Tuly 31 total, It Is
believed, well over $1,000,000. Those
figures bring the entire losses for the
year up to more than $0,000,000.
The total for 1020 so far exceeds
that of the entire year of 1010. which
wn S.1.(M3.r.02. Most of the big dam-
ages, the official lists show, came dur
Ing the months of June, July and Au
gust. Those losses were Increased yes
terday by the damages to three South
Front street factories. The blaze started
carlv In the morning, and before the
alarm was turned In the flames had
gained such headway that the battle was
almost useless.
All three factories were destroyed.
They were the S. Stclert & Sons, brush
t,Mnrv 100.120 South Front street;
thn ri.nrtn Mantel Co.. 1422 South
Front street, and the Uausch Co., Inte
rior woodwork, 1421-20 South Front
street.
The official fire loss In the city for the
first six months of 1020 was $.'1,431,071.
ns compared with $1,003,770 for the
first six months of 1010. The total
official loss for 1010 was $3,043,502.
Several costly fires during July did
damage totaling more than two millions,
and the losses since July 31, reaching
more than a million, It Is believed, bring
the totnl so far this year to more than
six millions.

Legion?" is the slogan of a delegation
of ex-service men of Iternardavillo,
headed by William Clarke, who have
como to the convention to ask Jersey
legionaries to overrule the action of their
etecutives officers In refusing them a
post charter because tnty operated a
so-called "Lesion special for com
muters during the outlaw railroad'
strike.
The controversy has reached the point
where the administration la willing to
grant the charter asked for providing
me ueruardsvLuo men win pledge them
delves as individuals to take no part In
ruture moor trouDics.
Legion Offer vltefuscd
"We'll never agree to that because It
never has been exacted of anv other
post. We are willing to make a plcdgo
to abldo by the constitution of the
Legion and we insist more cannot be
fairly demanded of us," tho Insurgents
responded.
A printed presentation of their "case"
waa circulated among the delegates last
night and today. It aaks whether the
American Legion is to be a fraternal
organization with patriotic memories
and nothing more, or Intends to take the
same active part in the communities'
life when emergencies arise that Its
members took In the notion's service.
The administration stands firmly upon
the ruling of Commander D'OIIer that
members may do as they please, In
dividually, but they must not, as poste.
take any stand as between capital and
labor.
Camden county's posta are here In
lorcc wmi n neaitny boom for Lleutcn
ant Edward It. West for state com
to thirteen votes on tho floor. It Is
probablo that Camden county posts In
return for pledges of support for their
commander candidate will back Tren
ton's fight to transfer stato headquar
ters from Newark to the capital city
and put Charles P. Hutchinson into the
office of department adjutant to suc
ceed Thomas Goldlngay, of Newark.
Ooldlngay is a candidate or state com
mander. Hutchinson-was a captain of
infantry in the war.
Trenton Post Largest In State
Trenton points with pride to the fact
that Its 1200 membership Is the great
est of any single post In the state. The
Mercer delegation includes also Blue
and Oray and Mitchell Davis Posts with
a total of twenty-four delegate votes.
Atlantic county is making an active
bid for support for Colonel Qulncy Oil
more, late of tho 112th Field Artillery,
In the state commander race and be
lieves he will havo a good chance as n
compromise ns between Gollngday, of
Newark, and West, of Camden.
There are no frills about the con
vention. A more robust aggregation
of delegates never attended n shore
meeting. Hobart Tlrown is presiding.
Tho fact that he halls from Newark
Is one of tho salient points in the
argument of the Camden men that tho
office should come to South Jersey this
year. Preliminary reports placo the
number of posts in the state nt 203
with an aggregate membership of GO,000
of whom about 25,000 are "paid up."

musical instruments the world has ever
