11 - THE OREGON SUNDAY' JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY -MORNING, JULY 27, 1919. PEOPLE VHD START E TO COMMUNITY Such Action During Present Dry Spell Merits Arrest and Ex amination on' Sanity Question. FIRE RULES' ARE DISOBEYED Duty of Citizens to See That Not Only They, but Neighbors ; Also, Take Proper Precautions. OBSERVE . THESE FIRE RULES These are a few of the precautions that Fire Marshal Grenfel advocates as a rood citizen's share in keeping dewn the fire totals In Portland: . 1. Fore so cam pf ires. - 2. Employ a reliable garbage man. - a. Be sure your trash goes to the city incinerator. - 4. Never burn rubbish In street or In yard. 5. , Have chimneys cleaned once a year. Don't turn In unnecessary alarms. 7. Call your district engine house for any information at any time, f: : Watch your neighbor. By Herbert M. Davidson If you saw a man come out on'the front, porch of his home, pile dyna mite on the steps and proceed to hammer a series of horseshoe nails Into the dynamite, what would you tninK7 "Well, even If you didn't take time to . think, which, under thecircum etances. you hardly would.t what would you think ? think, which, under the circumstances, you hardly would, what would you' do? Yes. you'd have him arrested, wouldn't you. and held until the "nut" doctors could send an ambulance for him? Surely you would. So would I. DANGER OF BONFIRES Yet there are folk among us, these hot dry days, who will stand quietly by and watch some unneighborly neigh bor build a campflre or burn his rub bish in the street or backyard. . And iever even yip. For this business of building fires Is every bit as foolish and as dangerous and as thoroughly Insane and unsocial s tamping, nitro-glycerlne into the stone steps. Ask Fire Marshal El D. Grenfel. He knows as . much and more about the causes of everyday fires in Portland than anyone else. He ought to. Fires are his business. He thinks about fires as soon as he's tossed down his morn ing breakfast every day of the week (except one, X guess) and doesn't atop thinking of fires till he's ready to go home. . : FIRE PERMITS WITHDRAWN' ." It's hecause the fire ' marshal knows so much about fires that an order went out last week to all captains In charge of engine companies that permits to build fires' of any descriDtlon in the city ' of c Portland were withdrawn. That meant that to build a fire In the city limits could' lead to arrest., fine and .imprisonment. But the pollqe cannot be everywhere, and people .- will build fires, it seems, even in dry J grass time. That is be cause they do not realize the danger. There have, been at least half a dozen serious fires in the month of July, since the order . went around contermanding all permits, that resulted directly from bonfires built in violation of the law. SPECIFIC EXA3IPEE GIVE3T Fire Marshal Grenfel gives specific examples. The fire which left the charred ruins in the picture is one of these examples. This fire burned com pletely a block of small dwellings, a garage, a feed store and a- two story rooming house In the neighborhood of Klghty-second and Stark streets. It was caused originally by a bonfire built by a woman in the neighborhood and played with by children until sparks flew on to the tinder provided by parched grass and dry wood. A, similar fire I; was averted just in time only Thursday morning. A bonfire was built to destroy rubbish near an old bam at 711 Commercial street, a highly congested neighborhood. Neigh bors turned In an alarm. The engines rri ved Just In time to prevent a fire The BONFRES MENAC Sunday that will satisfy your every desire.

OTHER INSTANCES CITED ', During a similar dry spell last fall, a furniture . store in Sellwood ' was de stroyed by ; a' fire caused by an un watched bonfire built back ef the store. Out In Piedmont, a man lost several shacks similarly. He was hauled Into court. .. 4 . . . "I lost my barns he complained.-"It was an awful accident. "I have no sympathy with your case. replied the judge. "Ten dollars." A small dock fire that might have been serious was caused recently by a bonfire built by boys .near the Irving dock. The boys had been in swimming and wished to warm , ana dry them selves. The desire was legitimate enough, but the thoughtlessness was typical of the ideas folk have about fires, z J ' CAXPFIRES 3TOT NECESSARY Campflres the department believes to be unnecessary. They are by way of being a luxury and may be foregone In the public interest. Rubbish fires might be a different story if the city did not have an incinerator, All that garbage and trash that accu mulates so rapidly will be carted away very cheaply by a garbage man and burned at municipal expense. It is a public duty to see that this is done with your garbage and trasru , Fire Marshal ' Grenfel ' has another grievance. It is this: Folk are calling out the fire department unnecessarily to fires that they could easily put out themselves.' or which, if explained over the telephone to -the fire captain, ; could be handled easily by one, or at most two men sent out from the station. ' -FIRE ALARMS-COSTLY A fire alarm costs the city from $50 to $100. It puts to work about. 30 men, calls Into action from five to seven auto engines, disturbs traffic and distracts the attention of business people to an extent that is seldom realized and which is sufficient to cause positive economic loss to Portland Industry. - "Folks should use Judgment, said the fire, marshal. ' ; . And if they see other folk building fires tap their heads significantly with a finger of one hand (just as they'd do in the case of the dynamite) and beckon a policeman with a finger of the other. Four Fires Set by Lightning in Polk; One Out of Control Dallas. July 26. Four fires set by lightning are burning in the woods in the western part of Polk county.

JAPANESE VIOLATE THEIR AGREEMENT, SAYS SEATTLEITE Charge Made They Control Large Percentage of City's Hotels and Best Farm Land Near City LEASE METHOD IS EMPLOYED Secretary of Yeterans1 . Welfare Commission Answers" Criticism for Opposition to Immigration. Seattle, July 26. (IT. P.) That by getting: control of 47 per cent of Se attle's J hotels and by leasing land when forbidden to own It, Japanese violate the spirit of the "gentleman's agreement" between the United States and Japan, was the charge made to day by Miller Freeman, secretary Ot the Veterans.Welfare commission. "Japanese controlled 218 - hotels here on Anril 1. according to the state hotel Inspector's report." Freeman said, "while at the same time whites owned only zsi hotels. Among the Japanese owned hotels, according to the state Inspector, are the New Cecil. Georgian, Plasa, Arlington, DlUfr, Victoria, New Stand ard, - Calhoun Right and Congress. Freeman's statement was made In re ply to S. K. Artma, editor of the North American Times, local Japanese daily, who criticized the veterans welfare commission for urging restricted immi gration against the Japanese. OWNERSHIP CAMOUFLAGED "With 47 per cent of the hotels in their' control, they Install white man agers and clerks and seek to camouflage the real ownership," Freeman declares. "In Tacoma this condition also ex ists. The Donnelly hotel nd others are in Japanese iwnaa. "Practically all the best farming lands in the vicinity of Seattle are in the hands of the Japanese a condition true of nearly all the best farming land ad' jacent to all the , cities of the Pacific coast. . "The .law forbids foreigners to own land and the spirit of the law is to pre vent them from realizing the profits of our .' agricultural , acreage. ... Vet these Japanese come here, lease the land, cul tivate it and take the cream.' So the spirit of the law and the 'gentleman's agreement is violated.
