SCHOOL NO. 2.
Mayor Wants Its Safety

dren are Admitted.
SENDS BOARD A LETTER
Committee Appointed to In
vestigate the Building
at Once.

At the last meeting Of the Board Hof
Education School Director John HI. Ward
notified that Board that the recent tor
nado has affected No. School building
in Erie street, to such an extent thaka
collapse of the old building was feared
and that it was doubtful if it was safe
to open the school building next Monday.
A committee consisting of William Rob
ertson, builder; Building Inspector
Kelly and Architect to the Board of Edu-
cation John T. Rowland, Jr., was ap-
pointed by the Board of Education to
inspect the building and report as to the
safety of it's condition. 1t appears that
the committee has thus far made no re-
port and Mayor Hoos yesterday took hold
of the matter and indited the following
letter to the Finance Commissioners,
which was read at yesterday afternoons
meeting of that Board
Jersey City, N. j.. Sept. 4, 1901
Jersey City, N. J., Sept. 4, 1901.
To the Honorable Board of Finance:-
Gentlemen-I am informed that the
storm which recently visited our city
has caused considerable damage to
School No. and that the building Is
now more than ever in an unsafe con-
dition. / am not willing to assume the
responsibility of seeing that school
opened with the likelihood of the hap
pening of catastrophe, and | am
confident that you would not sanction
the opening of that school if you
thought it would endanger the lives
of the many children that assemble
in that building. l therefore urge YOU
to appoint some competent and Teila-
BILE inspector to inspect the building
carefully and then report to you IL
writing over his own signature as to
whether the building is safe or not.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD HOOs,
Mayor.
At the suggestion of Commissioner Mic
lige, School Director Ward was telephones
for. He appeared shortly afterward and
explained tine condition of the old build
ing as he did to the members of the
Board of Education. He reiterated bis
assertion that there was danger of a
collapse.
Commissioner Mullins said he could
hardly be made believe that the building
was III such a dangerous condition as
that
Commissioner Ringle said that if there
was danger of a collapse the buildins
should not be opened next Monday. He
said he believed that the old building
should be replaced by new one; that
it had been in dangerous condition for
years.
The Finance Commissioners finally ap-
pointed Freeholder James Ellington, a
contractor and builder; Fire Commits
sioner Henry q. Niblett and Building In
spector Kelly to examine the building
and report upon it's condition.
President Hennessey of the Fire Board
was also present yesterday and urged the
Financiers to purchase certain lot in
Johnston avenue, near Grand street, for
a fire house site for the Lafayette Sec
ton. He said the property would cost
s., ,S0o The Finance Commissioners
thought the price little steep for that
section, but said they would consider the
matter.

INDIAN POW-wOWS,
An Excuse for the Lazy to Live at the
Expense of the Pr0vident.

An Excuse for the Lazy to Live at the
Expense of the Pr0yident.
The visiting habits of the Sioux Indians,
it is said, cause much annoy rance to the
agents and the officials of the Indian Of
Indians that a guest shall remain as long
as he wishes to, and that the host must
furnish all the food that Is needed At
present each Indian Is given his food by
the government every two weeks, and it
must last him that long. If it does not
he has to go hungry until next ration day,
or get food from another source. Few of
the Indians husband their food. In the
majority of cases in less than three DAYS
after the ratfonS have been distributed
little is left, as many of the Indians fairly
gorge themselves. 1t is then that the i'm
proyident visit the more prudent members
of the tribe.
An order was recently issued by the gov
eminent officers that the visiting practice
should be abandoned, but that order con-
tained no inhibition against pow-wows. 1t
is now said that when the Indians food
supply gets low council Is called to
meet near the home of tribesman, who is
believed to have a well stocked larder. It
Is related that . few days ago Standing
Horse was impoverished by several hun
dred fellow tribesmen who held pow
wow near his house. All summer Stand
ing Horse had worked a piece Of ground
and raised crop of potatoes and cabbage,
which he and his squaw had stored away
in their winter cellar. Since the summer
were compelled to carry water from a
river q quarter Of a mile away, while the
other Indians loafed around under the
trees and smoked their pipes.

The Shoe Trade in Russia.

Owing to the enormous demand. the high
protective tariff and the lack of competi-
ton, the boot and shoe industry Is one of
the most fourishing branches of trade in
Russia. So says Vice Consul General Hey
decker at St. Petersburg In a report to the
State Department. Within the last six
months the import duties on boots and
shoes have increased from 30 to so per
cent. and it has become practically inn
possible to import American or any for
eign-nade goods. A large shoe factory in
Russia has monopoly of the Russian
market. 1t is one of the most prosperous
stock companies in the empire. The vice
consul general says that single factory
is utterly unable to meet the full demands
of such large country as Russia, which
country, he says, would undoubtedly afford
a wide field for American enterprise If the
superior articles produced in America could
be introduced into that market. He says
that If American manufacturers were per-
mitted to establish factories in Russia they
would, with their improved methods and
better class of work, meet with practically
no competition and reap results far su-
perior to those which they obtain else

most men feel disposition to gloss over

the south and west, and was much i'm
pressed by this characteristic. At Atlanta,
for instance. where it would have been his
easiest course to say pleasant things about
the complete return OF the south to loyal
sentiment, something had lately occurred
to make him feel the need of putting in
candid word of warning, and his speech
was an argument for the necessity of con-
stitutional government, in its fullest and
best sense, in every part Of this country.
1t was such a speech as few northern
statesmen would have dared to make In the
south, especially where the memorials of
the lost cause were so abundant on~every

ABSENCE OF FIRE ESCAPES.
Statement With Respect to Merchants'
Hotel.


Referring to the fact that the hotel
burned this morning is not equipped
with fire escapes, Mr.. John B. Brady
the District inspector of buildings, ex-
planned this afternoon that the build
within the height mentioned by the fire.
escape law. This law, an act of Congress.
stated Mr. Brady, requires fire escapes on
buildings fifty or more feet in height.
The building burned this morning IL ap-
pears, is but 40 feet 10A inches in height
Therefore, under the existing law, the mu-
nicipal authorities were and are without
equipped with fire escapes.
rs 1t not a fact, Mr.. Brady" inquired
reporter of The Star, to whom the inspector
OF buildings had spoken, that there have
been instances where persons constructing
buildings of this kind have brought their
neight few inches below fifty feet, SIM
ply for the purpose OF avoiding the extra
expense OF equipping them with fire es-
capes?'
Such is the fact" replied Mr.. Brady,
but L do not, of course, say that the
building burned this morning was one of
them. What We should have here, and
what I have repeatedly recommended. is
a law which will authorize and empower
the commissioners to require the owners
or agents of buildings to equip them with
nre escapes whenever it shall appear to
the Commissioners that such equipment
would be in the interest of public safety.
such law would, or should, of course,
SO authorize and empower the Commits
sioners regardless of the height of the
buildings. In other words, every structure
likely to prove dangerous to inmates in
the event of fire should be equipped with
IRE escapes, and the law should be made
SO plain and practical that there could be
no evasion of or escape from it's pro-
visions Such a law is sadly needed here,
ana this mornings fire is to my mind con-
yincing evidence of such need"
