More Efficiency and Greater Speed Said to Have Resulted Be fore Installation of Phone. Old-timers on the police force favor returning to the automatic police alarm system, which was in use in the city in the "90s. previous to the Installation of the ordinary telephone system now in use. The former sys tem is declared to have been more efficient, speedier and better in every way for the successful policing of the city. The hox in use before the instal lation of the telephone was equipped with a dial. The hand on the dial could be set at the kind of a call the policeman wished to ring in to the station and the jerk of a lever regis tered the call at the police station on a tape. It was possible with the use of this alarm system to "call in," to call for an ambulance, and call for a police patrol or to send in a riot call. The box was. in addition equipped with a telephone in case ex tended conversation was required be tween the policeman on the beat and the station. "The old system was much quicker and much more efficient in every way." declared Captain Moore, head of the day relief, in speaking of it yesterday. "There was no laborious conversation necessary and no wait ing to get central. When speed wa,s a great essential, wnen it was neces sary to send for an ambulance or send in a riot call the system formerly in use was far superior to the telephone system. SIREN. FOUND IRKSOME Complaints- Made of Emergency Call of Fire Bureau. To Mayor Baker is now submitted the problem of the use of a loud siren whistle for calling reserve fire men.

The whistle is used only for second and third alarms when a big fire is in progress and when the off shift of the fire stations may be needed. The whistle is a summons to all off-shift men to report for duty. It is so blown that it carries a code indicating the location of the fire. Mayor Baker says he fears its use will have to continue.

Women's dresses and shoes bore evidence of having been tried on, and talcum powder had been spilled about in one of the bedrooms. Several hundred dollars worth of furs, and clothing of various kinds were taken. It is believed by the police that the burglary took place August 8. W. W. Yager, 410 Fifth street, reported to the police that he called the Smith residence on the telephone on that date. A man, he said, answered the telephone and told him that Mr. Smith was away and would be home in . a few days. This man is said to have represented himself to be the brother of Mr. Smith. A- check for J23 had been written out and left on a table, the burglar apparently making an effort to forge the name of Mr. Smith by copying his signature from a canceled check. The burglar was apparently not satisfied with the result, and left both checks. Entrance was gained by the use of a pass key. Inspectors Collins and Coleman were, yesterday making an investiga tion of the burglary of the store of C. -P. 'Morse, 810 Union avenue. The burglar entered the place through the transom and took $50 in silver. BIG PLANT BURNS DOWN PACIFIC STONEWARE COMPLVJfY HAS $10,0 00 BLAZE. Firemen, ly Strenuous Ef foris, Manage to Save Building of Pacific Lumber Mill. Sparks from the smokestack set fire to the establishment of the Pacific Stoneware company, 695 Sherlock ave nue, about 5:30 yesterday morning, with the result that the plant was practically destroyed. The building destroyed adjoined the plant and warehouse of the North Pa cific lumber mill and for a time they were endangered. A flying spark set fire to the roof of one of the lumber warehouses but it was put out before any damage was done. Three fire alarms were sent in. practically all the west side apparatus Deing called to the scene. The fire men by strenuous efforts managed to confine the fire to the stoneware com pany's works. W. C. Spaulding. night superintend ent at the pottery works, had Just built a fire to heat the boilers for the day's work when a spark from the stack lodged on the roof of the wooden structure and started the blaze.

The gallant struggle of the Poles to save their capital from capture has at last been crowned with success, and the Bolshevist reverse bids fair to become a rout, according to an arresting article in this week's number of THE LITERARY DIGEST, dated August 28th, on this spectacular turning of the tide of war. The Minneapolis Journal is quoted as saying that "the Bolshevik menace to Western civilization, if any, is now political," while an Eastern paper is sure that "Bolshevism has shot its bolt." The Newark Evening News asserts that the "lowering of Bolshevism's prestige will naturally be followed by reactions within Russia," and the New York World declares that "it was not merely a battle that Poland won in front of Warsaw, but the right to assume a position of equality at the peace table. Other articles of more than usual interest in this number of THE DIGEST are: The American Woman Voter Arrives A Summary of Opinions .From Friends and Foes of the Suffrage Amendment Called Forth by the Recent Decisive Action of the Tennessee Legislature British Labor's War on War Bursting of the Ponzi Bubble How WiU the Turkish Treaty Work?
