Shameful Annual Waste of
$300,000,000 and 1.500
Human Lives bv Fire.
8> 3 C. FORBES.
NEW YORK, June 2'..—Every outness
day of the year $1,000,000 worth of prop
erty !r destroyed, three lives are lost and
seventeen persons are seriously Injured
by fire In America. This shameful annual
waste of $300,000,000, 1,600 lives and 6,000
grave accidents could and should be cut
in half by the exercise of common pru
dence. The whole civilized world rang
with 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 fire
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 ihe urgent
necessity for action, the loss of life rath
er than the loss of property must be
emphasized, for we are not ujfte so cal
lous to latalities as to the loss of proper*
tj In other words, the nation a sense
of humanity rather than its regard for
economy must be appealed to—-though a
fire insurance tax of half a billion dollars
n year is no light matter, nor is it unre
lated to ihr sum total of the cost-of-liv
ing problem
Why should 1.50 U lives —almost as many
as went down with the Titanic—be sac
rificed even 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 n#t one drawn
from my own fancy. How does the fire
bill of the I’nlted States compare with
that in other places? official statistics
clearly reflect our gross carelessness.
Here are some significant returns

The frightful waste by fire in this coun
try is thus graphically described by 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 country
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 post office department
receipts—these all annual figures
“It represents about 40 per cent of j
either the total unused United States s»v- |
eminent receipts or total expenditures, or I
the net earnings of American railways,
it represents about 80 per cent of either
the United States internal revenue re
ceipts or the United States customs or
the interest paid on the railways In the
country.
“The fire waste of the United States in
the past ten years exceeds the amount of
gold held in the United Kingdom. Austria,
Hungary. Italy and Spain. It is equiva
lent to wiping out the entire corn crop
once every ten years, and exceeds the
annua] value of wheat, hay. ry< and oats.
It costs about >30,000 for each hour in the
year, or S6OO t each minute It costs,
moreover, m >re than 1.500 lives and 5,00"
serious injur - s annual!'
“If all buildings burned last year In the
United States were placed together on
both sides of a street, they w< ukl make
an avenue of <L solution reaching from
Chicago to New York, and although one
seriously injured person were rescued
every thousand f-. «t. at every three-quar
ters of a mile a man woman or child
would nevertheless be found burned t
death “

monetary loss, since, they cheerfull) a.1,1,

Laws btbve done much In several states
to reduce Ore losses, and similar results

HEARST BOOMED
AS DEADLOCK KET
Florida Jurist Points to Envia
ble Record Os Noted Pub
lisher in Congress.
Judge William Bailey Lamar, of F lor
ida, 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 it 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
of the first leaders of the progressive
movement now so popular In many sec
tions He has an enviable record.
Hi, Record in Congress.
"I served two terms In the house of
representatives at Washington with
Mr. Hearst. My committee position was
that of Interstate anti foreign com
merce.
"In February, 1904. Mr. Hearet intro
duced a bill to control and regulate
the interstate railroads In the United
States, a comprehensive ami far-reach
ing pit i i of legislation.
“Since that time nearly every on# of
its provisions have been enacted into
law, but at the time, of Its Introduc
tion it 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,
anti Its reception on the Democratic
side was equally unfriendly.
“'Too radical!' That was the cry
Mr. Hearst’s bill gave to the Interstate
commerce commission the following
powers, among others:
" 'To tlx 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
private refrigerating car lines. (That
is whttt 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
tem of regulating and controlling cor
porations. Repudiated by congress
then, they are laws today.
“William Hearst Is now, as It were,
a citizen of Georgia. The Georgian is
a link In nls 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
wen hostile to its consummation."

showers In Mississippi, Tennessee, north
' Alabama, where they were needed Indi
cations are for cloudy, possibly some lo
cal showers In Carolinas, Louisiana and
portion of Mississippi. Generally fair
elsewhere: warmer generally.
The New Orleans Times-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
• Julj' 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
' transactions to the New Orleans ex
change, and that 500 bales of fully good
middling, Liverpool class, were traded
in yesterday at 100 points on July, none

i NEW YORK, June 27.—The aggregate
support shown In the Liverpool market
thia morning, which came better than ex
pected, had a depressing feeling on our
market, with prices showing Irregularity,
near positions opened 1 to 3 points lower,
while the late positions were 1 to points
higher.
The weather conditions reported favor
able over the entire belt, with light show
ers In the Atlantics.
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.
I’he, 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 AusdSUan
spinners' meeting, at which 75 perment
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 efforts to boost the
value of property are now but natural.
The hope for a rapid expansion of goods
trade with China holds a most conspic
uous place In this Jrade optimism regard
ing the future. That it 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.&09, against 28,137 bales last
year Mill takings last year this week
170.00 C 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.

NEW YORK, June 27.—Price cnanges
at the opening of the stock market today
were irregular, some stocks making sub
stantial 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 of 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 %. However, the stock
was supplied freely and at the end of fif
teen minutes had lost its advance.
. V' W°°lworth & 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.
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
leading stocks in the late afternoon trad
ing today. The moderate gains which re
sulted from these rallies, however, were
more than offset by weakness in several
issues. Wabash preferred declined 1% to
%%, making a new low record. Ontario
and Western also was weak, losing about
1 point to 33%.
