nois stat fir marshal, at th Commer

He said that this Impoverished blight
was causing a general awakening to
realisation that the drain upon our rw
souroes must stop. Th awakening haa
com vary gradually, because th fir in
suranes companies of tha country pay
the Mils.
Hs spoke of th high fir insurance tax
and declared It could not be lessened ex

While the German is paying approxi
mately cents pro rata for his fir tax.

proximately n." he averred, "and the
dirtereno between these figure repre
sents tb difference between th activities
of those who attempt to conserve prop
erty and those who are profligate la Its

Flew Waste Eaoisaeas.
Th annual fir wast represent In
this natloa aa ash heap of approximately
CM Ooe.OOO annually. This waste means
at.MS an hour for every hour of the
twenty-four and every day of th year.
We ar burning th equivalent of a com
fortable KM bom every ten minute In
this country. During th two how we
have occupied In this luncheon nSo.OW
worth of property haa goo up tn smoke
and now lies in ashes. Th average de
struction through th agency of fir ha
a likened by sosneon as follows:
Three eburcbe, three halls, twelve
theaters, ten schools, two hospitals, two
asylums, two college, sis: apartment
houses, three department stores, two
Jafla, twenty-six hotels, on hundred forty
fiat bulkilngs and nearly SOS homes every
week of th year. Can anyone gainsay
that this awful extravagance can very
largely be charged directly to a waste
ful people T 1 it any wonder that at
last there Is a general awakenlnf In your
Mat and my own state of Illinois, as
well as throughout th natron, to a realis
ation that this sort of wsstefulness, this
tremendous ash heap, cannot go oa for-
rsr.
"Including: with the tratnendou Item

nually build and pay for th Fans ma
canal, or construct four new transcon

for th cost and maintenance of all th
publlo school system In this country. The
cost is twice as great as tb entire cost
of maintaining th postotflc department
of this nstloa. . ,
freveatale Fir Wast.
"I hsv every rrsson to believe that
fully SO per cent ot th firs wasts of this
country Is preventable. . This St per cent
of preventable fir waste can be classified
Into three parts: First, criminal Ignor
ance; aecosu. criminal carelessness; and.
third, deliberate arson. It Is with three
elements of Or wssts thst In stats firs
marshal departments of th sixteen stats
ot the union, which have adopted this
law have to deal. In neatly all of the
states this special department Is not sup
ported by taxation upon th people. It Is
supported generally by an assessment ot
a certain per rtnt ot th gross premiums
of all fir Insurance companies doing
business within these states.
"Germany and other European eoun
tries have long ago adopted regulations
tor th conservation of properties and
especially to deal with thle problem ol
fir waste. It Is sufficient to Illustrate
that th city of Berlin, a city of equal
sis to th city of Chicago, suffers an
nually a firs wast ot less than 00,000,
while th city of Chicago suffers a fir
wast of emors than K0O0.K annually.
Tha fire waste ef Chicago last year was
run times that ot Paris, three time that
of London, th largest city la tha wortu.
Cleea-l'p IV
"So firmly am I convinced that ?: per
cent of the fir wssts Is preventable that
I believe that If every Insurance com
pany, whether stock, mutual or any
other plan, would notify Its agents
throughout the stat of Nebraska todiy,
that on and after tonight at S o'clock,
for a period of six months, not a single
policy would be written by any fir In
surance company In this stste, and that
all unearned premiums would be returned
to th property owners throughout this
stste. and every property owner, there
fore, would be required to carry his own
risk, that It would result In a general
cleaning up and general methods of pre
caution never before witnessed In this
commonwealth.
"Th mm of arson, burning to de
fraud and other kindred crimes are the
moat difficult under th statute today,
in this or any other state, upon which to
obtain a conviction. This Is largely true
because It la a secret crime. It Is also
true becauss the average criminal fire
Bug plans his fire days and weeks In ad
vene and generally has a complete alibi
right at band to use In the event thst
the accusing finger of the law points In
his direction.
' Conspiracy Blseerrerrd.
"When the department of the state fire
marshal commenced operation It dis
covered ha Certain cities f Illinois whst
It beilved to be a well formed conspiracy
to bum property la order to obtain In
ane. Aa a result of this belief a
great deal of work waa don In the city
of Mattooa and th suspects were
watched so carefully that the fires de-
ssed very suddenly In that city. A
camber of the suspects left Mattooa
and took up their abode . In Missouri,
which stste has not a fire marshal law.
'Th Illinois department found In other
rllles ef th osntral part f th state
another arson conspiracy and as a result
of. this Investigation Harvey A. Big ef
Springfield and Samuel F, Parr of
Qulnry, III., wer convicted at Peoria,
111., for arson and each sentenced to
three years In th penitentiary. Wood
Hill, a confessed conspirator In these
crimes, admitting on th witness stand
that this conspiracy hid covered the
eltlea of Qulncy, ' Peoria, Springfield.
Argenla and Decatur, III., and that In
th last seven year they had burned
more than t3O0,ono worth of property for
profit.
"Truss two Instance will Illustrate to
your mind th Importance of having a
department dealing especially with this
form of crime In Illinois and this work,
togsther with even th greater work of
Inspection and causing ths removal of
extra hasardous conditions la bound ta
redound to th credit of this state, which
will within a short time, I believe, tend
t reduce th tremendous fir wast to a
minimum and accordingly reduce th fire
premiums for ths people of Illinois and
ths nation."

their number has accumulated haa not

number looks large. All told, th retired
rear admirals are now receiving fl.Ht.0M
annually In pay, but ths sum is to grow
larger. The number of rear admirals Is
almost one-quarter of th officers of the

rear admirals, commodores, captains,

In view of th fact that th enlisted

pected thst more of them would be on th
