1t seems that in the state of New Jer-
sey there is a movement looking to the
solution of the race problem. Last week
two young white men, one at VInelaud
and the other at Red Bank. married negro
women. The Vineland young man was
the son of wealthy parents, who have dis
owned him. His wife is brown woman.
In the Red Bank case, the woman is said
to be as black as they make them. The
New Jersey solution of the problem will
very probably be confined to New Jersey.

BOSTON, March Fire broke out in
a dormitory OF Harvard university.
Cambridge late yesterday afternoon.
Several of the students jumped from a
fourth-story window and sustained Sc
rious injuries. ]. p. Henney OF New
York, member OF the freshman class.
jumped and was picked up unconscious
II IS believed that his injuries will
prove fatal. James Rourke a student
from Boston, was seriously burned.
The building is a hve-story structure,
the upper part of which is used as a
dormitory by Harvard men. Henney
was on the fifth floor when the fire was
discovered, and all escape by stairways
was cut Off by the flames. He climbed
out Of the window and stood upon the
Sill while the thick smoke rolled up all
about him. The members Of the fire de-
partment either failed to see him or
thought they could not reach him with
ladders. A number OF students, taking
in the situation, ran to the department
wagon and brought the jumping net to
the building and placed II under the
window.
Mr.. Henney jumped from his perilous
position, but did not strike the net
sguarely. and it sagged, allowing him
to strike the ground with considerable
force. He received a bad shaking up
and was injured internally, He was
taken to the Cambridge hospital. The
building is owned by J. H. Hilton. and
the portion used as a dormitory is occu-
pied by about 20 students. The fire
caught in a hallway on the third floor
and was probably caused by matches
carelessly thrown into waste basket.
