Cily Council Decides to Make
Paid Fire Department a
Reality and Takes
Steps Needed
CANYON PETITION

vert, and It Will Be Pro
vided at Once.
Fire department troubles, fast and
furious, were poured" upon the heads
of the city council at its special ses
sion last night, with the result that
Alderman Shattuck moved that th
services of Chief Richard Davis In
-
the capacity of a iald official of the
city, be dispensed with after April 1
Ills successor will be B. W. Norton,
deputy sheriff at the present time,
and the appointment meets with the
approval of the Volunteer Firemen's
Association. Norton will probably
take hold of the new job about April
second.
The council adopted an ordinance
amending section 25 of ordinance No.
J 29. which created the fire depart
ment, so that tbi governing bodjr
rood have "abjsoluW control in th
matter of appointing all' paid members
of the department, also regulating the;
duties of such appointees and remov
ing them at its discretion.
The petition for Improvements to :
the end of Tombstone Canyon to en
aliie the completion of the street rail
v.aj to the city limits was laid i the
table, while that regarding the doing
awa with peddlers was read and on
motion the city marshal was Instruct
ed to receive no more license money
ffini email vendors after April 1st.
The vendors have been paying $3
a quarter for the privilege of operat
ing push carts, stands, etc.. and as
their licenses all expire April 1st, It
will mean that they must cease doing
business.
When the meeting was called to or
der the council chamber was packed
to the doors, and many standing in
the hall, owing to the important mat
ters coming up attracting the Interest
that they did. The members of the
Volunteer Firomea's association were
on hand strong, having had a spirited
meeting a short while before In the
bunk room of fire headquarters. Sev
eral attorneys, in the interests of one
or other si the improvement and
peddler petitions were also on hand
with an unusual number of citizens.
The polling places for the coming
elections were first designated, and
the election officers appointed. Then
the petition for the extension of In-)
provcraents up Tombstone Canyon
was read, and laid on the table after
some arguments from a number of
Third ward lesidents.
"The clty'S finances at this Urn's
will not allow of Immediate Improve

"We simply ha vent got the money, to

Then camo the petition of Robert

that their carts and stands were be

were "made en this retltlon by At

instructed Marshal Stevens to issue
no more licenses at $5 a quarter,
which they have been paying, after
April 1st. As their licenses expire
at that time, it simply means that
they mnflt close up.

APRIL I,
Davis Says There'll Be Things
D:ing By The Volunteers Scon
"Well, nothing to do but go to work at something else." said
Chief Ulchard Davis, of the firs depar.ment. after last night's little
session of the common council.
"I have a position In view already and will probably return to n
trade as oleetrlclan, with one of the loco) companies.
"I was handed something of a raw deal, however, and the volun
teers are red-headed. Tiroy try to make the olnt that I :rled to
bring politics Into the Ore department I did no such thing, and even
turned down some of my best friends who asked me to sign their
petitions, for that very reason.
"The volunteers will hold a special meeting la a few days and
there may be something doing. I'm still their chief, oven If thesal
arled job is taken away from me.
"All the work of the volunteers in fixing up by-laws to more
clearly define thedutles of the chief and members of the depart
ment, as well as their authority, was knocked into a cocked hat when
the council passed that ordinance. Therefore the by-laws were not
submitted for the council's conflrmaiion. What was the use"

latter's opposition to him had not be

on tire Alaskan bench, had decided the
Cobb mining case at Fairbanks.
"Yen," replied Hoggatt, "because
then I was convinced you were not a
proper person to be on the bench."
Mr. Wickersham accused the former
governor of making public a letter

When Asked If Charge of Brib

Pittsburg Councilman Col
lapses, PITTSRURG, March 24. The con
fession of six men who appeared be
fore Judge Fraser todjy caused sensa
tions. The climax came when George
B. Anderson, a former select council
man, fainted as the court asked him
if he had ever received money for his
vote. Before the judgo could finish
his question Anderson had fallen
backward, striking his head on the
floor of the court room. Attendants
and attaches rushed to his aid and
when he waa revived he answered the
jndgo's question.
Robert W. Cochrane, formerly a
member of the council, admitted re
ceiving $C0O to vote for the bank de
pository ordinance .and $500 for the
ordinance vacating South Seventh
street. Judge Fraser wanted to
know how It came he 'received so
much more than other councllmen for
voting for these measures. Cochrane
was unable to make a eatixfactory
explanation. He Insisted he had dis
tributed none of the money. Judge
Fraser reminded Cochrane that this
was a serious matter, and he would
have to take tho case under consid

was granted and Cochrane left the
court room.

to the district attorney was so un

MOUNT ETNA BREAKS OUT,
THREATENING THE MOST
AWFUL RUIN OF PEOPLE
CATANIA, SICILY, March 24. Mount Etna is again in
a state of violent activity. The violence is rapidly increas
ing, -and tonight the gravest fears for results exist. From
Catania the Associated Press correspondent motored to
ward the mountain. Beyond the village of Mascalucia.
twelve miles in a direct line from the crater, a thick curtain
of smoke was encountered which entirely concealed Mount
Etna. At Nicolosi. ten miles from the crater, the entire pop
ulation had gathered in the square to watch the volcano.
A deep roaring was heard, and detonations resembling ar
tillery followed one another In quick succession, while the
earth shook.
One of the guides cried: "An earthquake!" and could
hardly be induced to continue. The hot cinders covered the
ground like a thick carpet. A peasant was encountered
coming down... He said:
"The fire is rushing down, burning everything. The lava
is like a red hot river."
Proceeding a little further, four colossal columns of black
smoke could be observed. Occasionally they were cut with
flashes of fire, presenting an awe-inspiring spectacle. The
wind opened the clouds for a moment and a wide strip of
fire could be seen in the distance, advancing with mon
strous contortions... It fell like a torrent from Mount Ca
priolo, spreading out in the valley below.
The lava flow had already reached the vineyards above
San Leo, and Rinazz. seven miles from the crater, and had
buried many peasant houses. It came in several streams
and united in one great mass about twenty feet high and
1500 feet wide. Its velocity was estimated at three to
four feet a minute.
This mighty wall of red hot lava tonight was not more
than five miles from Belpasso and Nicolosi. The meteor
ological station in the mountain side has been destroyed,
and the village of Borrello is in serious danger. The popu
lace, terror stricken, are fleeing.
Fifty earth shocks, with continuous vibration and trem
bling for many miles, have occurred. Everywhere the vil
lagers are carrying images in procession and are imploring
for mercy. Twelve new craters have been opened up.
Help for the people of the devasted district was organ
ized here and a large number of doctors and engineers sent.
The prefect, after a visit to the scene, said: "The spectacle
of desolation is comparable only with the destruction in the
wake of the eruption of Vesuvius in 1905."
Prof. Ricco, director of Etna observatory, said: ''The
eruption is very grave. Lava has covered five miles in six
teen hours. If calculations are correct, the eruption will
not be short."
Crowds of tourists, Americans being conspicuous, are
flocking to view the spectacle.
