These statistics, compiled from re ports of marshals from various slates, were presnted by Colonel James R. Young, Insurance Commis sioner and Marshal of North Carolina. 1 T. Alfred Fleming, of Columbus. Ohio, president of the Fire Marshals' Association, termed newspaper re porters "machine guns" and editors "heavy artillery" ia the fight against tire, and continued: "The finest asset for a fire marshal is u friendly press. Newspapers are most eager to give facts if related to real conditions. Just as in the re cent conflict where the rapid fire of the machine guns accounted for- a great percentage of the cusuulties, .to daily attacks in the newspapers against careless fires strike the bulls eye of public attention. "Newspapermen are sharp. They arc also loyal. We should do every thing in our power to cultivate their friendship and command their re spect." Mr. Fleming urged the appoint ment of a director of publicity and education by tho underwriters. Such a man, he said, should be an earnest student of fire prevention and pro tection and j ossessed of "a proper sense of news values " Princeton Alumni Is Host to Former President The Princeton Alumni Association entertained the Rev.

Aldermen For Many Cities to Ask Higher Fees of Legislature Aldermen from twenty-five cities in this state at a semiannual meeting yesterday afternoon in the office of Alderman George A. Hoverter dis cussed proposed legislation which would permit them to handle tres pass actions brought to recover small .-mounts of damages, and also another bill to increase some of the fees which magistrates collect. Under existing legislation, trespass actions for damages in small amounts cannot be brought before an alder man. but must be filed In court. This necessitates an expense for legal procedure which In many cases would be higher than the amount of dam ages asked. As a result, the alder men balleve a law is needed giving them authority to hear such cases, thus saving much expense to a plain tiff in an action who is seeking to recover nominal amounts because of damages to himself or his property in minor accidents. After discussing these proposed acts, the following officers were elected: George A. Hoverter. presi dent; Alexander Rlcketts. Wllkes- Barre, vice-president; A. K. Spurrier, Lancaster, treasurer; H. H. Brown miller, Orwigsburg, secretary. The next meeting of the aldermen will be held ip York on July 10.

HARRISBURG TEILEGRAPH: CATHEDRAL HOLY NAME SOCIETY HOLDS A SMOKER Clergy and Laymen Repre sented at the Rig (lathering A very enjoyable "smoker" and on tertainment was conducted last even ing in the Cathedral hall under the auspices of tho Cathedral Holy Name Society, of which the Rev. Francis X. Feeser is the spiritual director. A large representation l'rom the Holy Name Society of St. Mary's, St. Fran cis, St. James, Steolton, and tho Cathedral, were in attendance. t An Interesting program was ren dered, consisting of the following: Opening chorus, tho Girls of the Catholic High school of Harrisburg. a brief introductory address by Dr. Joseph C. Ludes, president of the Cathedral Holy Name (Society; a vo cal solo. Miss lidith O'Rourke, ac companied on the piano by Miss Myra Moyer; violin solo, Frank Weiger; "A Half Hour's Fun in Dark town," - Thomas Dyneh, Charles Dyncli, Joseph Winters, James Win ters, H. J. Noll, James Collins; the human snake, Peter Pendergasl; harp and celo duet, Miss Marguret Vaughn and Miss Margaretta Ken nedy, vocal solos, accompanied by harp and celo, Aliss Catharine Dubbs. Dr. Ludes, in his address, said: "1 bid you welcome in the name of the Cathedral Holy Name Society. It is a source of considerable gratification, 1 am sure, to our worthy spiritual di rector, the Rev. Father Feeser, and I know it is to myself as president of this society, to see such a repre sentative body of Catholics at this, our first function. ',' We are, in a sense, a sacred miiitla, recruited for the express purpose of doing homage to the 'Name, above ail Names,' and to atone in so far as we are able for the many indignities and blasphem ies daily heaped upon that Name, and since the realization of an ob ject in binding together by a body of men for a particular purpose is in proportion to the degree of their united activity, X would urge upon you., all, who are members of the Holy Name Society, a more earnest co-operation with its purposes, and upon those of you who are not mem bers to avail yourselves of the honor of becoming members. "In the late world-war there were over 500,000 members of the Holy Name Society in the service of this country alone, all, I am sure, actu ated by but one purpose, to destroy the unspeakable Hun and his blas phemous alliance with God. "Would that an army comprised of every Catholic in the world could be recruited to do homage to the one Being alone, who is responsible for the Peace we now enjoy. "Once more, I bid you welcome, I thank you for the inspiration of your presence, and trust you will enjoy the entertainment we have provided for you." The other speakers on the program were David E. Tracy, who spoke on the .need of "Efficiency;" Rlcharl M. Kellly, of Lancaster, who reviewed what Catholics have done In the re cent world-crisis, and what they wilLdo when the opportunity is pres ent to show their loyalty not only to the Church, but also to the state; the Rt. Rev. Philip R. McDevitt, who spoke on a Catholic layman, taking as his model, Joyce Kilmer, poet, writer and soldier. Joyce Kilmer was a convert to the Catholic religion, fought with the famous Sixty-ninth of New York, and gave up his life for his country's cause in July, 1918. Among the guests were the follow ing: Very Rev. John C. Thompson, of Steelton; the Rev. William V. Dailey, of St. Mary's; the Rev. John J. Smyth, of the Sacred Heart: the Rev. John Weber, of St. Francis. the Rev. Daniel J. Carey, the Rev. Pat rick J. Phelan, and the Rev. Francis X. Feeser, of the Cathedral. | More Cars to Be Used on the Sixth Street Line During the Rush Hours Oclctals of the Harrisburg Rail ways Company, in an effort to re lieve congestion on its Fourth and Sixth street lines during the rush hours on Saturday evenins, wil lin augurate a new system to-morrow night whereby three additional cars will be placed at the disposal of patrons. The cars will be operated each Saturday evening between live and eight o'clock, the hours when travel is heaviest. The plan was worked out to-day and at the same time announcement was made that the officials are work ing on a plan to operate more cars on the line during the rush hours of other days—something which is practically impossible now because of sickness and shortage of men. The Saturday evening plan in volves the runnin of the three extra cars to Sixth and Division streets via Second and Ucily streets. Because of the single trackage on Fourth and Sixth streets, south of Reiiy as far as State, it is Impossible to place any* rnorb on the - line to operate directly up Fourtli and Sixth streets from Walnut, there being seven run over that rohte now. The new plan is to run the three additional -cars between five and eight o'clock north on Second street to Reily, thence to Sirth street and north to Division. I naddltlon, there are htree ltockvile cars passing over this roule, making a total of sir cars running up Sixth street via Reily, and a total of thirteen over both routes. Officials were confident to tiay that this plan will solve the Sut. urday night congestion. Fourth and Sixth street cars run ning over the Second and Reily street route will be murked by new cars running over the regular route signs reading "Fourth and Sixth to Division, vlo Second and Reily." The cars running over the regular route —Market square, to Walnut, to Fourth and Sixth —will carry the regular signs, reading "Fourth and Sixth to Division." 225,000 Men in Navy For Year Starting Next July Is House Plan By Auociatei Prett Washington, Jan. 10. —A tempor-| ary naval force of 225.000 enlisted men for the year beginning nevt July, was decided on to-day by the House naval subcommittee.

Another Harrisburg Man Suffers Because Money Is Lost in Cable Service Another instance of the failure of the Ehirleson-coiitrolled cables' fall lire to convey much-needed assistance to one of Uncle Sam's flghtingmen in France came to light to-day. As a result of the failure of tiie cables to function .properly, it is likely that another Harrisburg; soldier is feeling the pinch of actual want in France. Lieutenant Joseph l 4 '. Snyder, who was promoted from a second to first lieutenancy recently, came out of the fighting zone at the end of hostilities with his uniforms torn and practical ly frayed to pieces. The barbed wire entanglements of the enemy and the brush in which ho had been fighting ruined his clothes, and as a result he cabled home for money. That was weeks ago. His father, Michael Snyder, 318 South Fifteenth street, cabled $lOO at once, but thus far It has not reached the young sol dier.
