53 YEARS AGO
She Started the Fa.-
mous Chicago Fire
on Morning of Octo-
ber 9, 1871
Just toriy~lhree years ago today.
October 9. 1571. Mrs. O’Leary's cow
kicked over the lantcrn nhich start-
ed tth Chicago ill-e. It one a great
fire; It was a great lire. especially
.for those days. The entire city of
Chicago was dosll‘oyed. with a loss
of 200 lives. According to statistics,
since 1871 or since that eventful day
VV hen.:\Irs. 0' Leary's cow kicked up
such a. great fuss. at nuai fire losses
have bcrn increasing at such. an
alarming iii. it ihcrc is now an aver-
use money loss of 35.00.000.000 in
the United Stains, not counting hu-
man lives. the figures revealing a
loss of llfc. of 15.000 persons in the
United States and Canada. annually.
in the light of modern inventions
constructed in such a. fashion as to
minimize tires, the question arises:
”What. then. is the cause of tires?"
The trouble apparently does not lie
ulih fire apparatuses and those
who man them. Statistics prove that
both are efficient. The cause. ac-
cording to those who have made
lire fighting a study of numerous
years. is due to carelessness. and of
such a nature as not to warrant at-
tention at the moment it is com-
mitted.
That carelessness is the outland-
iing contributing factor to fire than
any other one cause. is conceded by
those who know the game well. In
fact. so sure is the fire department
of its stand. that it is offering a re-
ward of $379,900.000 to anyone “Ar-
resting the criminal. Carlessness. the
cause of most fires. and for whose
apprehension the American public
would reward itself to the extent of
the amount. of the reward. because
the burden of fire waste is borne by
all."
According to a circular being dis-
tributed to many factories and gar-
ages in the city. at lcast 75 per cent.
of the present annual loss of 3506.
540.000 or 379,900,000. is prevent—
able and therefore can be avoided.
Among the. Chief causes of tire are.“
carelessness with gasoline, and kero-
sene. misuse of matches and smok-
ing materials. improperly built chlm-
ncys and lines. overheated stoves.
furnaces and their pipes. and others.

cation in the conduct of industry.
and an experience which has made
clear to me the application of So-

In his letter of acceptance Mr.

convention in Bridgeport last Sat-
urday. and in doing so he scored
Congressman ~Schuyler Merritt, Ile-
publlcan of Stamford. whose oppon—
ent he is in the present campaign.
Prominent members or the Demo-

of Mr. Wailing yesterday and ap-
plauded the nominee. It had been
planned to hold the ceremony of
notification'on the lawn or the \Val-
ling home but a chill wind blew
down trom the north and Mr. Wal-
ling read his speach of acceptance
from inside the house. About sev-
enty-nve men and women were pre-
sent and heard him outline his ideas
on the issues. or the present cam-
paign, his opinion at the “reaction-
ary” characteristics of his opponent
and on national and inteEnational
questions.
The nominee accrsred that the
Democratic party is the more pro-
gressive or the two major parties
and that the election 02 Congress-

the members of the party great
pleasure to have nominated a. man

ing or the ceremonies was delayed
to some extent by the late arrival
of the. Mayor of Shelton. and his
party. among whom was Dennis S.

Mayor Bean's own "Sau‘cho Panza".
Mr. Sullivan was among those who

present that one of the earliest
things he remembers was the speech

run with Gen. \Vintield Scott Han—

time at the Hotel Algonquin in New

views similar to those which have

for the. candidate. He demurr’ed at
first. pleading pressure of business,
