NO CUT MADE IN FIRE DEPARTMENT YET
Beard llrrrltrt (onnialrtllvi

, CtniBilltrf 4a Coofer with
flit- C'oanrll.
. I'pon the urgent rejuet of Chief of Po
Ilre Donahue, the Board of Fire and Po
lice Commissioners last night accepted the
eight-hour rule for the patrolmen of the
police department, and aa aoon is the
change can ' be effected the officers who
walk beats wfll be divided. Into three ihlfta
of eight hour each Instead of two of
twelve hours each. The reaolutlon of the
board. In . which the change la provided
for la aa follows:
Resolved. That the twelve-hour shift now
In frn-e In the police department Is a hanl-
lilrl n'pon the patrolmtn and not produc
tlveirf the bent results and be It resolved
that the eight-hour ehlft. n recommended
bv the chief of police, for the patrolmen
of the police department be and hereby la
adopted to lake effect a aoon aa It can be
put Into operation by the chief; and be It
f urther. resolved, that all the other officers
of ihe police department be allowed two
day off duty In each month with pay, ef
feentve on the same date.
"Tje, board waa moved to tbta action by
a long communication from Chief Donahue,
In 'which be eet forth the advantages and
disadvantages of the proposed change. In
this communication the chief first sets
forth aa an Important consideration the
fact that under the preaent system of
twelve-hoar details of enforced exposure
to all conditions of. weather, the health
of . the members of the department ma
terially suffers and aubmlts that the rec
oils will substantiate the statement that
from 7 to 9 per cent of the time lost by
the officers through Illness Is directly due
to that cause. . ....
Will Save Meal Tisse.
As another Important argument In favor
ef the change be presents (or considera
tion a statement of the time consumed
by the nreq tinder the . twelve-hour ays
eero, In getting; their necessary meals, and
by comparison shows that their time on
duty under the eight-hour system could
be e arranged aa to save" a great deal of
the time now allowed for meals.
Under the plan as suggested by the chief
the flint detail will report at the- station
at 7:1$ a. m., and respond to roll call and
go to Jhelr 'beau at 7:45, and remain on
duty until 4 p. m.; the second detail will
report at the station at 8:15 p. m., and go
a duty at :45; and the third detail will
report at 11:15 p. ra.,-and go on duty at
11:45. The second eMail, be says will
cover the hours of greatest necessity for
police activity and must . therefore be the
"t largest, and the other two. covering hours
of comparative, quiet, nay be more easily
provided.' for.-- ' '
The chief . would have ' the eight-hour
system' apply, however; only to the men
who wJk' heats and would have the cap
talc's, chief of detectives, aergesnts, detec
tives, desk sergeants, turnkeys, patrol
wagon ' ere ws and emergency offlcera re
main under the present system.
Oa VlsO Departaaeat Redaetlaa.
The chief 'of the Are . department, ra
compliance with ,. Instructions from the
board at Ita meeting of last Monday night,
- submitted a report la contemplation of the
proposition to cut down the Are depart
ment. , . ' . .
The chief la this report vigorously pro
. claims the danger which any reduction of
the present strength of the department
. would entailt aad as far as his position In
.relation . to tie board . earnestly protests
against any such. action. The report la aa
. follows: ,. .
This department haa been trying for sev
eral years to Increase the fire department
so aa to properly protect thle city In case
of fire, and In my last annual report you
will find that I recommended several new
houses and alao new companies In different
parts of the city. I therefore fall to see
now eny of these houses can be closed and
a till have the cltv evea oartlv nrotected.
. Aa for taking sixty men from this depart
ment. It la utterly out of the question, for
the following reasons:
The business portion has not now the fire
protection It needs, and to take any of the
companies rrom the center would leave It
open to a large fire or conflagration which
would, cost this city many thousands of dol
lars. As to the residence portion, I will sav
that our houses now are too' far apart and
too few to properly protect same. Com
panies now are running some two or three
mlloa before the Area are reached and that,
too. In thickly Inhabited portions of the
olty. ' To close up outside houses would
compel the downtown companies to respond
to all alarms, thereby leaving the center
uuproieciea. .
What Mlarat Bo Deas.
Aaaln. large Area reoulre a larare number
of men, apparatus and hose to put the fire
' out. and also to protect surrounding prop
erty. If any of these houeee are elosed It
will not only endanger the locality whre
the house located, but the whale city.
Vnder these circumstances I would recom
mend that the board do everything In Ita
power.' to set money enough to carry this
department to the end of the year. But tf
irui nnui im cone ana ine nouses nave
to be closed. I would recommend that they
do cioeeu ana reaucea as louows:
Then follows a list In which the houses
name4 to bo closed are Engine company No.
4, with nine men; Hoao companies Noa. S,
T. t, t, 10, and 11, with six men each, aad
. hook and Udder company No. 4, with eight
wen. The companies named to bo reduced
one man each aro engine companion Noa. 1,
1 and I, and hook and ladder companies Noa
S, and 6. It la recommended that hook
and ladder company No. 1, wKa twelve men,
be left aa It Is.
- The closing of tbo houses designated and
reduction of the others as above atated
would cut down the force i men, aad of

the department, ar ft woold then remain
with but fire houses, eleven p leers of ap

chief says:
This will leave the force as follows:

in conclusion I wisn to say mat every
thing In my power will be done to protect
this city, but that the board cannot hold
thle department responsible for any dam
ages done by fire during the period these
houses or companies are out.

Action upon this report was deferred and
a committee consisting of Messrs. Wright
and Thomas was appointed to go before
the city council at Its meeting of this even
ing to negotiate with that body further as
to the needs of the department. In con
sonance with . that action the board ad
journed Its meeting to Wednesday evening,
when the Are deportment question will be
taken up.
Jnst what plan the board haa to present
to tbe council waa aot announced, but be
fore the open meeting of last evening the
members spent nearly two hour In close
and secret - conference In the Inner room
and most of that time the only other person
present was Chief Salter of the Are depart
ment. After this secret meeting Commis
sioner Wright ssld to The Bee reporter that
in the past the fire department fund had
been drawn upon for bllla which should
rightfully have been paid out of tbo gen
eral fund, and if the council could bo In
duced to pay some of that money back from
the general fund to the Are department
fund there would be plenty of money to run
the department to the end of the year with
out any violation of oven the letter of tbe
law. From Other hints dropped by the
members It Is to be understood that among
tbo Items referred to aro the aalarlea at

NAVY NEEDS MANY MILLIONS
Admiral O'Nell 8ubmiU Estimate of $13,-
182,806 for Emuing Tear.
MAKERS REDUCE THE COST OF ARMOR

Admiral.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. Admiral O'Nell.
chief of the naval bureau ordnance, la his
annual report made publle today, says that
the ordnance bureau wants $13,181,805 next
year, of which amount $10,000,000 Is to be
devoted to, arms and armaments for new
ships.
The gun shop at. the Washington navy
yard during the past year turned out 234
guns, prepared sets of fergtngs for 14
more and has sixty-five In course of man
ufacture. The bureau Is preparing a new
type of gun, 60 calibre in length, of a semi-
automat lo character, to replace all guns
of this else now in use In tbe navy.
Admiral O'Nell sayt that for the first time
la years the mknutactnre of armor has pro
gressed la a , sstlsfactcry manner, 7.612
tone having been delivered at the various
ship yards during the year, with prospects
of largely Increasing the deliveries.
No Improvement worth speaking of seems
to have been made Id the quality of armor
of late. Guns, powdnr and projectiles have
each made a decided advance, rendering It
all the more necessary that there should
bo Improvameat :u the quality of the ar
mor, but mono aesffls to be In sight at pres.
ent. , .
Reoeatly the armdc manufacturers volun
tarily made a reduction ef 10 shillings per
ton on the re ratty for the Krupp process.
with the exception of Ignition and shell
powder, no black or other thaa smokeless
powder has been purchased or manufac
tured for tbe navy since the Spanish-Amort-
caa war. All new ships beginning with4
Keartarga and Kentucky have been supplied
wim outfits, of. smokeless powder and. In
addition, some thirty of tbe older vessels
have been. thus supplied.
Admiral O'Ndil finds that the best way to
Illustrate, the tremendous development of
artillery In late years la to otto two cases.
that of the six-Inch gun and the twelve.
Inch gun.. The fqrtaer used to weigh only
four and one-teath tons, waa only thirty
calibers id length, with a muule energy of
tne 1,771-Ioot tots and a nractlcable rata
of fire of two and one-half aimed shots per
minute. The new type Is fifty calibers In
length, uses smokeless powder, weighs
eight tons, cart be fired eight times per
minute and haa a muule energy of 5,834
foot tons. In other words, It Is 600 per
cent more powerful than the old gun
The twelve-Inch gun shows an Increase
la energy over the old gun of 35S pet 'teat.
Admiral O'Nell says that no Such rate of
Increase la looked for In the near future. ,
Reaovatloa of Batteries.
. ......... . i
There la to be a general renovation of
the batteries of the older ships aad it la
said that bow batteriea.wlll be placed on
Baltimore, New Tprk, Newark aad Albany.
It la recommended that Philadelphia bo
given a new battery of aix-lnch guna, which
would fit It for, many years more of serv
ice. The bureau la considering tho feasi
bility of replacing the preaent turrets of
Oregon, Indiana and Maasachuaetta with
new ellplical-balapced turrets, adding ma
terially to (heir efficiency.
Admiral O'Nell hat much to aay respect.
Ing speed against armament. He argues
that a ship, is naturally a compromise be
tween various necessities and save:
All nations are' afflicted with the aneed
erase at Intervals and ' this country is no
exception, and unless each of new veaeels
can equal or beat the world's record they
are usually characterised as failures, and
In deference te public sentiment tbe tend
aRcy la to design vessels of the highest
pcsalbie speed. Irrespective of the uses for
which they are Intended, and In conse
quence enormojs sums of money have been
expended by several countries In producing
large ana iuhi vessels , wnicn nave out
trifling value for righting purposes, and to
day it require no little raeral courage on
the part of designers te subordinate the
popular element of speed to other qualities,
no matter how important the latter may be.
roller ( the Ualted States.
Admiral O'Nell further aays:
It has always been the policy of the
United States to provide It vessels of all
classes' with great battery power, that le.
to so arm mem inat tney snail do superior
to forelrn vessels of eaual clean In that re.
Spect, and that' sentiment still prevails,
ana, wnue we nave, in a rew instances,
Subordinated all other elements to speed., It
not likely to occur again, and the con.
sensus of opinion at the preaent time Is In
favor of applying large percentages of
weight for armor -and armament rather
than to assigning It for the purpoee of at.
talntng the last possible fraction of a knot
6f epMd ' Thai bureau is convinced that no
mistake haa been made In the adjustment
of speed, armor and armament of these
vessels. The best vessel Is not necessarily
the one that can most atilokly ret In oe out

tne one tnat can remain in nattlo the
longest after It gets there.
It U safe to say that any vessel of this
class, of equal displacement, having a
higher speea, is aencient In some of the
other Important qualities which these ves
sels possess. ,
Of svbmarlae. boats tho report aaya that
po important, developments have takea

with which tho mosquitoes, which transmit
tho disease, can be excluded. Therefore,
unless tbera should be more cases, the
ship will carry out tha original program.
