livered by Warden McKenty. Wher-ever
he speaks his talks are long re-membered
by those wiio hear them.
He speaks out of a large experience;
bt shows life from many angles and
explains how to guard It, and the con-sequences.
Warden McKenty owes
much to Philadelphia for his BUt
but Philadelphia owes to Mr. McK inty
the bonoi of having within her con-tines
one of the greatest men of any
city. When engaged in a common
capacity In the gas works of Philadel-phia,
h'u life was one of right living
and when he Was appointed to the

.ludge Audi in-' Id, be was Inform
that note I jurist that be needed no
counsel. The Judge said to him: "I
will ii\ this matter up for yen my-self,
i am glad to serve you and wish
you success.' When on the patrol
force in Philadelphia he male an ad-dress
before the city Business Club,
at the Hotel Adelphi. on the lighting
system of that great city. He pointed
out the inefficiency of the system and
how it shadowed crime and Increased
its chance, iiis experience fitted him
to speak and he brought about a
great Improvement In the lighting sys-tem.
As Director of Public Safety

to improve the conditions in the note,!

that gathering be said "If you ate go-ing
to give a man every chance you
cannot tell what he is going to do
until after he does It and then It is too
late."
In the institution which he now gov-erns
is found the best system and the
most complete discipline. This has
brought about the most successful re-forms
and has called forth praise and
admiration from State inspectors. He
has a wonderful vision and believes
there is something higher and nobler
in this life than the mere game. IHe
gees wrong when it attempts to pose
as right. He believes crime a mi
talii oi bad and good characteristics
and the remedy for wrong common

crime is the failure to save the crim-inal.

FIRE IN LOWER MERION
Barn on William Crawford- Estate
Catches Fire, but Firemqn Save
Building.
The lire companies or the two bor-oughs
as well as iii • Bryn viawr Fire
Company were called to the farm of
William H. Crawford Estate, on
the Btal i Road just below the Spring
Mill in,ui, in Lower Merlon township,
about eleven o'clock, on Wednesday
morning, when the large bare, wai
covered to he on lire.
When the Bra was Hist discovered
Mames wen already Issuing from the
i i,d Of the roof and an alarm
Immediately sen into the Ore
companies. The George lay Fire
Company, of Weal i onahohockeb, was
soon on the scene With Its chemical
apparatus and within a few minutes
had the blast extinguished, but not
until a large part or the roof had been
iii BI royed.
About the time the'fire had been
put out ly the Clay Company, the
Bryn Mawr Company arrived, follow-ed
later by the Washington Fire Com-pany
or this borough.
When the alarm was turned In to
the Washington Company, they were
informed that the tire was at James
Crawford's, spring Mill, and the auto-mobile
truck was taken with all possi-ble
speed down Hector street. When
the firemen arrived and round there
. aa no lire, they tried to gel In tou h
with the telephone operator but could
get no answer, whereupon the truck
was brought back to the hose house.
Shortly after they arrived home a
second alarm wa Bent in to them and
iln | roper location given them and
lhey male a record run to the scene
but the fire was out by the time they
reai hi d th ■ a< .
barn, whtofa caught fire is a
large stone structure, having shingle
roof. Fortunately there was no hay
in the part ot the building Where the
fire broke out and through the heroic
work of the George clay Company the
fire was extinguished before the
flames had an opportunity to com-municate
with it in another section
of the building.
The origin of the fire is not defi-nitely
known, but starting as it did
on the roof, it is believed that a spark
from a bonfire which was burning on
the place was responsible.
The loss is estimated at about $1.10
and this is covered by insurance.
Appreciation of Firemen.
To the Recorder:
We desire to express to the George
Clay Fire Company, of West Consim-hocken,
our appreciation and hearty
ihanks for the splendid work done at
ilie lire which occurred today In the
farm on our estate.
The response to our call was Im-mediate
and in a short time after their
arrival, the lire was out with the re-sult
that the loss Is comparatively
slight.
The men acted like veterans. No
noise, no confusion, they were prompt,
energetic, efficient.
Taking into consideration that this
barn is largely comi>osed of wood it
can be readily understood how effi-ciently
the work was done.
We wish also to thank the Washing-ton
and Bryn Mawr Companies.
While there was little for them to do
they displayed their willingness to aid
by coming here and yve are very grate-ful
to them.
The Conshohockcns and adjacent
vicinities should be proud or their
fire lighters and they merit and we
leel confident they will receive the
hearty cooperation good will and com-mendation
of all the citizens.

Lee company to which the insurance
was to be made payable. The agents
