' . . , When the present chloe of the fro depat- ment wa oppolntet by the Heart of Fire nnt 10lc9 Commisioner the people of ; 1 Omaha were given to understand that the election of a chief from Olt of town was pro. Imlnary to a general reorganization ot the department on the basil of the most mOltrn fire fghtng Iteas. This was token In some . quarters Ol an Indication that a consiierablo f : number of the oM men were goIng to bo dts . missed In faver of new applicants. Such was r ' It no Limo a part of the plan of the comm\ . aiontr3 or of Mr. fledell. Al men who are capable ant who are willing to do their duty , t are sate In their positons and no man wil t bo dlsmluel Exccllt ) for seine open failure 11 duty or neglect to abide by the regulations ' ' . of the lepa ; tment. lut various reforms have already been Inaugurated In the managament and dlsclplno of the department and other are In contciuplation. These have been repeatedly - . peatedly diectntstd by the members at the boall and the fire cblef. One of the first matters to receive attention - ; lon has been the regular dris of the de- partment. These will be materially aug. 5 mentell and every fireman In the department wi bc dried at frequent Intervals In the use of all the apparatus that ho may have c to handle at a fire. The Pomilier ladders , b will be rrglarly used and the pilemen , as wtl as the hoolt and ladder men wi l , made perfectly familiar with their use. I Is the idea of Chief , Hrel to have J II'ompler service , In connection with each' ' hook ant ladder : truck ali this drill will le supplemented by those wih the life line lnd net as soon as' the department Is In a p slton to supply the apparatus. The Pompler % drill IS an exercise . that bring every muscle In the body Into play. Chief Uedel II of thin opinion that fre- men should be maintained In IS perfect phy- . slcal condition as possible. When they have - work to do It must be done In a hurry and . ' - only a wel conditioned man Is able to fight fire with a clear head and untring mus- dee. The use of the ladders also gives the , men confidence and command of themselves when working at a consIderable height from the ground . For these reasons . as well as to render the men proficient In their use the . 0 Iompler drill wi be a regular feature of the - house work. In the regular thrills every , ' piece of apparatus will bo brought Into play exactly as though It was at a fire. The aerial trucks must be manned and raised In the i quickest possible time . hade run off . connec- Uons made and every mon taught to study his particular part of the worlt , so that when . an alarm Is turned In he wi unconsciously carry out his part with the best degree of omclency count. possible and make every motion FIE TELEPHONE SEI1VICE. Ono of the meditated Improvements Is a > telephone service . exclusively for the fire dc- partment Under the present system a good deal of time Is lost tn ringing up the central omco and waiting for I connection , but If the engine houses arc place on an exclusive cir : , , ; cult communIcaton wIll 1 only be a matter of . an Instant. The fro alarm service wi be " moved from its present location to the ofce / , of the chief In the city hall. One reason for this change Is the danger of the disability of I th9 apparatus by fire at Its present locaton , I I a fire should break out the whole fre 1 z " alarm system would bo rellerel1 ieess , but L ; In' tIle city hal thIs dangel would bo reduced tT to i mInimum. Then a considerable amount " f4 : would be saved In rent. " . Chief Hcdel I workIng on a new set of . I" : rules enl regulations which wi more clearly " define the duties of the officers and nieli , , Some Improvement wIll bo male In the system : tem of reports from the various companies . and there will probably bo a change In one - . or two features of the present alarm system . . For Instance under the present system two ; r more alarms may be turned In from boxes , & . In widely different locations. The chief ar- 1z- rlvo at one of the 'frcs and decides 'o make a second call. The second , or general alarm may be sent In and as several boxes have I ; bean pulled there Is no way In which the rc- . malnlng companies can tel to which of the . . tires they are called by the second alarm. In dIscussing the Immediate nece9sltes of the department yesterday Chief Hedel I sold that the most pressing necessity was for men. "The frt consideration should be to adequately mAn the apparatus that Is now : ' In UEe. For Instance , I was at No. a' S house this mornIng ali saw the drill In rals - lag the heavy truclt There are six men attached - : tached to the truck , while tt was never con . &ructell to be handled with less than ten : anon Some of the outsldo hose S have only three men Such a company as , this Is a farce when It comes to putting out , . , , . a fire. Every company shoull be able to , lay and man two lines of hos ( but three men ' cannot handle one to advantage . When an : alarm Is turned In one of these companies . ' , arrives at the fire. The driver must .talte ' - care of his team before ho can render any , asslstanc That leaves two men to run the hose . make connections with the hydrant ) and r nozzle , handle probably several hundred feet of hose and play oa the fire. As the three ' , men cannot bo on duty all of the time , It may even be possible that only two men will bo at band to answer the alarm Now what . does such a company amount to ? The frst . five minutes Is all Important at a fire. 'I'here should bo men enough to handle the hose - rapidly and get to work on the fro at the quickest moment Each pOE.lble company should be able to lay two hInes of hO3' with' I , out losing a second and there should bo men 1 . enough on the hook and ladder trucks to - bring them Into Illay with equal celerlt3 . Anyone can ceo that this Is Impossible when the apparatus Is Insufficiently manned . Then , also , It Is always probable that a line must bo changed at tn\ . One or two men cnnot do this without losing a g03d deal of valuable lmp , whpro If there was a lull company the line could be handled so rapidly that the loss . would not be felt. Suppose a case where the lIre Is In the third . fourth or filth titer y r and the dlmcliy or getting a stream to bear Is Increased and you ere & oil than eve : r . ' 'Fvery down Iowa company should hia , e at least a full complement of six men to obtain - tale efecth'o results " NOT UP TO DA'm. In discussing the Ileston of apparatus the chief remarlted that thIs was an ago of ad. . vancement hi fire "plaratu ! as wel 'as other . things and sense of the Omaha Ipparatus ; g must properly b classed as ante.d luvIai . The aerial truck previous mentioned was Ironbound throughout and Was so heavy that I was dlfcult tu get It Into positon wihout a consIderable waste of time . TIle more mOllern ladder were on the trus principle , and were at once lighter and stronger. I Is Mr. Iletlehl's opinion that the cIty 1 bad ! y elf for trucks anyway There should bo another truck of the latest pater . h1\mejlately In the buslnesl district \\'hero I would bt available as loon as the streams : , were turned on I a fire was In a high building It wal lumcult to get to It from the Ineide , ant the 'Iulcltest and most ef. : fectlvo way to bring the streams to bear \ was from the ladler , .

I MurB should be I Ore In a buIlding like the Mur- ray hotel and people should be cut oft on the upper floors the firemen could do nothing but stand by and see them fall back Into the flames or dash themselves to pIeces on the t pavements. Life lines anti nets should be procured and the entire department drilled unti they were experts In their use. Chief Redel has also suggested several Improvements I In the building regulations. lt le l says there can bo no other relatons. that lt Omaha Is an Inflammable city. While there t are sere large business blocks of Imprond I fireproof construction , there are hunllreds h of buildings that are veritable fire traps. Lodging houses tenement houses and dozens ot other buildIngs are constructed : ue pen the thEory that they were to be ua eternaly secured from any attack of fire , , and even In the business districts there was tlere I great scarcity of fro escapes. No large buldl : ! should be allowed to be constructed 1 without a complete fro wall through the , center , so that In case of a Ore the firemen I fremen coul cc concentrate their streams on one.hal of 1 the building and the other half at least would bo safe . This would reduce the fire hazard fully one.half.partmcnt houses Ihoull 5t also be provided with fireproof parti. tOI between the suites of rooms. I this was tlohe the department : \oul know Just what they had to depend II\n nail coal fight the fire much more intelligently anti e ffectively. Title latter Idea Is provided for by an amenllment to the building ordinance which was submllII to the council by Con' missioner Hartman , Chief Hedel and I'spector of 1ulllngs Deverili . : The contemplated amendment consists In I the additIon of the following : "In all apart- ment houses the dividing wails or partitions between the apartments Provided for ecich family shall be made entirely of Incombust- ble material , or of steel , partitions filled to the ( till thickness and height with mineral , wool or other incombustible material , equally as good , anti ' plasttrell on the metal lath. In the absence of definite subdivIsions befi tween the apartments of different families , : eight rooms shall bo counted as the equiva- lent of one apartment. In boarding houses , , . lodging housts or hotels , ninety feet or less In height } , there shall be for every eight rooms In anyone story dividing wals or par- tlons as described above separating these eight rooms from the contIguous spaces.

UNDER STRICTER RULES , Now OrderS Governing ! 'Vurlc of Letter Car- rierit Arc l'rolullnted. There Is considerable suppressed excitement among the boys who wear the gray In the postal service at the federal buIlding. I has all been cause by the receipt of an order from Washington which has just reached Postmaster Clarkson . The order wilt be posted Immediately and Superintendent of Postal Service Cramer has been notified that It wl bo enforced t the letter. leter. The official advices , which will make a somewhat radical change In the methods of Omaha carriers , are a follows : Carriers are strictly prohibited from reporting - porting prior to schedule time , eIther for morning arrIval or the beginning at any sub- sequent trip during the day. Carriers must not remain at their desls or tn the working room of the office durIng any Interval , o-r during btweea trips or dur- , lag the dInner Intervals ; nor most they re- maIn In the postolce after reporting from the last trip of the day. Carriers must record the exact time con- sumed by them each day , specifying the be gInning and closing of each trip and the that tme spent In routIng mal and lookIng up and I marking undelivered matter. Only the ac- tual time emphoyej Is to be recorded , but all I service rendered must bo recorded. Carriers will continue to 'lalto their daily trips , making their entries at the beginning , and end of each trip. The practice of Ilng out the entire report at the close of the day : must bo discontinued and any carrier found I I removed. continuIng such practice wIll be promptly - removel. Under no circumstances must carriers or superintendents conceal the fact that over time Is being made Any attempt In this I respect means dismissal from the service Men detailed exclusIvely In collection service - Ice should not bo allowed alowed to enter the worlt : room or office , except to deposit collections. . . They must then leave the postofce , report : lag again on schedule tme for beginning of I next collection at the first box on their route , The performance of clerical work by car riers Is absolutely prohibited. Their worlt must be confined to the collection and de- livery of mal , the routIng of mal for de- livery , the marking up or loggln ; of unde- livened maier and the facing up oi mal by collectors upon their return to the office. Al I other work , except the duty at the delvery windows Sundays , must bo discontinued by : carriers . Al other worlt Is clerical and must be performed by clerIcs alone. The order Is signed by T. I.
