THEIR UNIQUE OFFICIAL GAVEL i.n Ordinary Sheep Dell Adopted ai Official Gavel In 1894 Still Retained. The Tournament Dcglns This Afternoon, The Firemen's State Convention nnd Tournament reconvened nt the city hall yesteyday aftorno.-n nt 2 o'clock. President Kosler was in the chair. 'Ihe committee on credentials reported that thirty-seven towns were entitled to delegates nnd Hint sixty two delegates nre present. While there were sixty-two votes In the convention tho attendance was much larger. Ana darko, Okln., Is ono of the towns which has done l part In sending representatives. That town Is enti tled to three- delegates, but eleven members of Its company are In at tendance. Tho minutes of tho pre vious nnnual meeting were read and adopted. Secretary J. II. Poster of Chandler wired tho convention that he could "ct attend on nccount of tho recent ,,ontl1 "f llls thor A triwan, of condolence was sent to Mr. Foster. When President Kcsler's l-am nr rived from Oklahoma City ho was no tified that an overcharge must be paid tho railway company, and many members of tho convention desired to play even with the railroads. This led to tho Introduction of n resolu tion calling uion tho ilrenicn of the state to refuse to light flro In rail road property. After a wide discussion the resolution was withdrawn. Tho topics discussed nt yesterday's meeting wero "Ilnso, apparatus and couplings," by Chief Kesler vjf Ok lahoma City; "Flro Alarms," Chief Alder of Tulsa; "Waterworks," Chlet Oruber of Guthrie. Chief Kesler did not speak from notes. Ho thoroughly understands fire fighting machinery from the bucktt to the most modern equipments. Kvery delegate will bo benefited by his speech, ns a portion of his talk was nppllcablo to every company. Chief Alder of Tulsa said: "To tho president and member! f tho Oklahoma and Indian Territory Firemen's Association: Gentlemen Tho topic of "Fire Alarms" haB bcui nsslgnnl me by your committee, nnd I appreciate tho honor of having ns signed me ono of the most Important nnd Incidentally ono of the most neg lected branch cf tho great flro fight ing services. "A gr-nt many cities build good stations, buy flrst-claBS apparatus and employ good men and then put tiff to some future time tho matter of flro alnrm service, which in my Judgment Is reversing tho order of things. Tho i first movo nftcr tho flro Is discovered Is tho means of notifying the locnl department, cltlmr paid or vol unteer. It therefore follows that tho means of giving this nlarm shook! bo first, reliable; second, convenient; third, used solely for flro alarm pur poses; fourth, speed. As recently as 1850, n period within tho memory of many men still in active life, olcctrln alarms wero unknown Kven in large cities the priniit'vc method of shouting, ringing bells and shooting wero tho only means of arousing tho flrmcn and citizens. Tho first attempts nt an alarm system was In New York ns early as 1815. Tho city was divided Into districts nnd watchmen wero on duty at nil times In towers built In each dis trict; each wos numbered and when a watchman discovered a flro by see ing smoko or flnmo or a flro was re ported to him, ho would Btrlko upon his bell the number of his district This was heard by watchmen In tho next tower who In (urn repeat ed it on his bell nnd In that way was gradually announced from all tho fewers In tho city Shakespeare truly bays, "A ll'tlo flro Is quickly trodden out, which be ing suffered rivers cannot quenii Tho great flro loss of $450,000,000 the past year only tow well tells tne tale of disaster nnd ruin A great many fires hnvo been suf fered by not being ablo to find tele phones, especially Is this truo from midnight to morning. A city Insld tho limits of this association had big flro from Just this cause, tho flro- i men willing and nnxmus to render am were allowed to sleep while tho flro ' gained such headway that their best I efforts cnly confined it to tho on , building, all from tho lack of getting tho alarm. I will not attempt nny description fection by the Gnmcwcil company of New York ns you nro no d uht fnmlll.tr 1th the working of the system " this time, as I uuderst.ind Mr. t'U i ents, for tho company in e hai n exhibit nt Mils convention, but wi I cIom by saying Hint mono spi-n u bringing the fire alarm s.-titii up ' tho best possible degree of elllclt tu la tne best spent mcne in the dep.it ment. for on It we dep ml to notify us at the earliest imituinl that iw may bring to bear our br-.t eievgle at a tlnio that will nssure ns at lcist an equal fighting chance will, tin el ment that Is n good servant but a! poor master." Chief timber of Guthrie In discuss. Ing his topic snld: Mr. President nnd Members of IV Oklahoma and Indian Territory Flro men's association: 'I he top-3 an signed to mo nt the last meeting writ Waterworks." This subject Is mire a brcMil one, I feel unable to .Ulcus It fully. The past yenr I hnvo author ed some facts and Infornmtlou anil herewllh submit thorn. As n rule nuiHt cities pay to'i llltlo nttentlon tothelr waterworks symot'i. No city enn gtow nnd prosper with out having nn ample supply of food water. I foel that In nil case every city should own Its own wnluiworks, nnd should endeavor to put n lh best nnd most ndequate system pnial- hle, even If the burden Of tuv.it'on 1 excesslvo for the first jesrn of tho xlstcnce of tho waterworks. The past experlnece In n'l OM.i- hotua towns show that the rlHis have rapidly outgrown their w iti work system nnd hnvo been compelled to add tv, nnd Improve them, an 1 !n n great many cases put up with a small er lino (if mnlns. I find that most of the cI'.km In In stalling their waterworks system place their hdrants too far npart, and also put In too small mnlns. Tho bedrock facts on which our rule . fir spacing hydrant must rest are Hint n gvind stiff 1 1-8 Inch stranded stream of 250 gnlons per minute can not ho pushed through more than 40J feet of oven tho very best and smooth est hoso by n hydrant pressure of lot) pounds. One of tho best nssets vf n city Is well equipped nnd well paid fire de partment. If tho average taxpayer will tnko the troublo tv Investigate ho will find that tho reduction In tho Insur ance rate and tho saving to the cltl- ens In the payment of premiums will pay all expenses of tho flro depart ment." The official gavel of Iho FiremH"'') association Is nn ordinary 25 cent sheep bell nnd there Is a bit of history attachod to It. Tho Firemen's associa tion was organized In Kl Itcno, Okla In 1891. Tho firemen had been called from every itown where companies had been organized. A Hit delegation from Guthrie went and nmong them was T. II. MeCan, n good nntiired Irishman. En roulo tho boys purchas ed tho bell that Is now being used ns a gavel and tied it to McCnnn. The crowds every whero gazed at tho Irishman nnd Uio Incident wns tho causo of much merriment. When tho tlremen convened nnd the asso ciation wns organized, by resolution of tho convention McCann was relbiv r 1 of his bell and it wns adopted ns tho uf liclal gavel.
