Shameful Annual Waste of
$300,000,000 and 1.500
Human Lives by Fire.
t By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK, June 27 Every business
day of the year $1,000,000 worth of prop
erty is destroyed, three lives are lost and
seventeen persons are seriously injured
by fire in America This shameful annual
waste of $300,000,000, 1,500 lives and 5,000
grave accidents could and should be cut
In haif by the exercise of common pru
dence The whole civilized world rang
w’ith the terrible tale of the Titanic dis
aster. yet the havoc wrought to life and
property by fire every year in this coun
try is greater than the loss on that awful
April day Yet how little protest is raised
against our perpetual holocaust.
Our indifference to devastation by tire
Is a commentary upon our besetting sin
of extravagance and our scarcely less
heinous disregard for human life If the
public are to be aroused to the urgent
necessity for action, the loss of life rath
er than the loss ot propertj must be I
emphasized, for we are not quite so cal
lous to fatalities as to the loss of proper
tv In other voids, the nation's sense
of humanit.v rather than its regard for
economy must be appealed to though a
fire insurance tux <>f half a billinn dollars
a year is n*» light matter, nor is It unre
lated to the sum total of the coßt-of-liv-
Ing problem
• • •
Why should 1,500 lives- almost as many
as went down with the Titanic be sac
rificed every year ? Why should 5,000
others be seriously injured by fires that,
in six cases out of ten. could be pre
vented ?
That proportion is the one arrived at
by experts, the figure is not one drawn
from my own fancy. How does the lire
bill of the United States compare with
that in other places? Official statistics
clearly reflect our gross carelessness.
Here are some significant returns:

The frightful waste by Are in this coun
try is thus graphically described hy Pow
ell Evans, of Philadelphia, who has done
more than any other individual to inves
tigate the subject and arouse public in
terest in measures of reform:
“The 1910 fire waste would pay the to
tal interest-bearing debt of the '*ountry
in four years, or would build the Panama
canal in less than two years It exceeds
the combined cost of the United States
army and navy and the interest on the
national debt. or nearly equals the com
bined annual failures and pension pay
ments in the United States, or exceeds
the combined United States gold and sil
ver production and postoffue department
receipts these all annual figures
“It represents about 40 per vent of j
either the total unused United States gov- i
ernment receipts or total expenditures, or I
the net earnings of American railways;
it represents about 80 per cent of either |
tihe United States internal revenue re
ceipts or the United States customs or
the interest paid on the railways in the
jountry.
“The fire waste of the United States in
the past ten years exceeds the amount of
gold held in the Unite*! Kingdom, Austria.
Hungary. Italy ami Spain It is equiva
lent t » wiping out the entire corn crop
once every ten years, and exceeds the
annual value of wheat, hay. rye and oats.
It cost- about S’3‘,ooo for each hour in the
year, or SSOO for each minute It costs,
moreover, more than 1,500 lives and 5,000
serious injuries annually
“If ah buildings burned last year in the
United Stat* were pia« ed together on
both sides of a street, they would make
an avenue of desolation reaching from
t'hi agc id; Xew York, and although one
seriously injured person were rescued
every thousand feet, at . very three-quar
ters ot a mile a n an, woman »»r child
would nevertheless be found burned to
death."

A great many Americans like i<> see "a
good tire " and have no regrets over the
monetary loss, since, they eheeriull) add,
"the insurance companies are rich." If
they are rich, whose money has marie

ranting having no solid basis It is ater:
tact
Every cut ot $1,000,000 In the > ountry's
fire losses will mean a saving of S'.OOO.miO
In premiums. And. Incidentally, every
reduction In the Income of insurance
oompanlee will send a number of young
gentlemen from the tops of stools to some
other occupation, and perhaps the arm?

Laws have done m-t'-h In several states
ter reduce fire losses, and similar results
could doubtless be obtained m others

Let the householder take every pre. au

MIST DOOMED
JS DEADLOCK KEY
Florida Jurist Points to Envia
ble Record of Noted Pub
lisher in Congress.
Judge William Bailey Lamar, of Flor,
ids, former attorney general of that
state and for fourteen years represen
tative from the Third congressional
district, who is in Atlanta on business
today, advocated the selection of Wil
liam Randolph Hearst for Democratic
candidate if the Baltimore convention
could not agree on the candidates be
fore it now.
"The contest seems to be between
Clark and Wilson and should the con
vention fall into a deadlock I would
warmly commend the selection of Mr.
Hearst," said Judge Lamar.*
"He is stalwart, progressive and one
nf the first leaders of the progressive
movement now so popular in many sec
tion# He has an enviable record.
His Record in Congress.
"1 served two terms In the house of
representatives a' Washington with
Mr. Hearst. My committee position was
> that of interstate and foreign com
merce.
"In February, 1904. Mr. Hearst intro
duced a bill tn control and regulate
the interstate railroads in the United
States, a comprehensive and far-reach
ing ph - c of legislation.
"Since that time nearly every one of
liis provisions have been enacted into
law, but at the time of Its introduc
tion ft received but scant praise or sup
port.
"The Republicans were, in power.
They had no idea of adding to Mr.
Hearst's popularity by voting for it,
and its reception on the Democratic
side was equally unfriendly.
“'Too radical!' That gas the cry
Mr. Hearst’s bill gave to the interstate
commerce commission the following
powers, among others:
" 'To fix- just and reasonable railway
rates on complaint of shippers.
" 'To prevent railroads from raising
existing rates without consent of the
interstate commerce commission.
Once Repudiated, Now Law,
“ 'To regulate the icing charges of the
prlvati refrigerating car lines. (That
is what the Georgia peach growers
wanted.)
" 'To prevent railroads raising rates
by changing the classification of
freight.’
"These features of William Hearst’s
bill are now a part of our national sys*
tein of regulating and controlling cor
porations. Repudiated by congress
then, they are laws today.
“William Hearst is now, aSI it were,
a citizen of Georgia. The Georgian is
a link in Ills chain of great newspapers,
stretching from Boston to San Fran
cisco.
"It is but proper to call the atten
tion. now. of the Georgia shippers, pro
ducers and consumers to the great
work of Mr. Hearst on a great public
question. And that. too. when many in
power then were ignorant of its mean
ing;. and many who knew its meaning
were hostile to its consummation."

The New Orleans Tinies Democrat says’
' Local Interests centered on July. There
were no fireworks, because only a few
notices of intention to deliver cotton on
’ contract were issued. Rumor had it that
the quantity Involved was 900 bales, but
only 300 bales could be traced. All were
promptly stopped by exporters, some of
whom are said to have purchased more
=• July contracts yesterday. In the event ;
July longs stick to the end and demand
> bale for bale, there may be fireworks of
a rare order.
Meanwhile Liverpool is buying August
contracts in New Orleans and that posi
tion has climbed nearer a parity with '
. spots. It Is asserted that actual cotton '
’ merchants are not reporting all their '

NEW YORK, June 27.—The aggregate
support shown In the Liverpool market
this morning, which came better than ex
petted, had a depressing feeling on our
market, with prices showing irregularity,
near positions opened 1 to 3 points lower,
while the late positions ware 1 to points
higher.
The weather conditions reported favor
able over the entire belt, with light show
ers Jn the Atlantlcs.
After the call the market was barely
steady under scattered liquidation, prices
selling off 3 to 4 points. This decline was
soon checked by the substantial support
rendered by big spot interests, who bought
freely of July accounts.
The buying of McFadden and other
big professionals reflected a firm tone in
the late trading. The selling, however,
was not aggressive enough to cause much
weakness. No fault was to be found in
the late weather conditions.
At the close the market was steady,
with prices unchanged to 5 points higher
than the final quotations of yesterday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, June 27.—The Jour
nal of Commerce gives a good account of
the Carolinas. Liverpool came easier than
expected and quotes spots unchanged at
6.63. Although now and then an episode
of certain news reveals the difficulties of
the trade, like the other day the Austrian
spinners' meeting, at which 75 per cent
of the mills voted In favor of a curtail
ment of production, correspondence from
Europe Is generally bullish. Considering
the large visible stocks everywhere and
the known reserve supplies owned by
mills, optimism and efrorts to boost the
value of property are now but n'atural.
The hope for a rapid expansion of goods
trade with China holds a most conspic
uous place in this trade optimism regard
ing the future That 1t is premature to
expect the Chinese to put their available
cash mostly to the acquisition of wearing
apparel.
The into-sight for the week looks
around 30.000. against 28,137 bales last
year. Mill takings last year this week
170,000. The market continues its wait
ing policy—opening somewhat easier, it
rallied to last night's closing prices on
little buying by scalpers on New York
tips that the market will be supported.
Trading very small. August and Septem
ber positions are benefited by the local
squeeze in July futures.

stantlal gains and others reflecting heavy ,
selling Lehigh Valley gained %. Amal- ;
gamated Copper was %c lower, while ,
American Smelting advanced %. United
States Steel was In fair demand and,
after yielding %. recovered the loss.
Pennsylvania railroad was off proba- <
bly as a result of the reports ot the bal- ;
lot of the employees favoring a walk-out. ;
The ballot has not been made public. ,
There was continued buyng of General ,
Electric on reports of a coming dividend
with a gain of %. Hqwever, the stock
was supplied freely and at the end of fif
teen minutes had lost its advance.
F. W. Woolw'orth & Co.’s stock was
dealt In for the first time on the board
and advanced to 98%, against 96%. at
which the final transaction was made on
the curb yesterday. Missouri Pacific was
% higher. Reading was unchanged. i
The curb market was firm.
Americans in London were active, the (
bulk of the orders having been cabled ’
from New York.
Heavy buying appeared in the late fore
noon and substantial gains were recorded
in many of the leading railroads and In- :
dustrials. A number of specialties were
also prominent. ,
After receding slightly around midday
a firmer tone developed in a number of 1
leading stocks in the late afternoon trad
ing today. The moderate gains which re- 1

more than offset by weakness in several :
issues. Wabash preferred declined 1% to
