Massachusetts statesman by admiring
friends at a time when his fame was

W. W. COrcoran. the noted philanthrO-

SCHOOL FOR DEAF BURNS.
Iowa Institution Is Destroyed Neal
Council Bluffs.


Council Bluffs, May 10-A fire start
ed in the kitchen OF chapel of the Iowa
School for the Deaf at O'Clock last
evening entirely consuming the main
building, a magnificent structure, 800
feet long, rs feet deep and four stories,
also The part containing the chapel
which was 125 feet long, 70 feet deep
and two stories high.
At the time of the breaking out Of
the fire there were 265 pupils in the
building and perhaps half of the Off
GERS and teachers who number 55.
They all escaped in safety. The fire
started in the chapel and was under
such heavy Roadway when it was dis
covered that it was beyond the control
of the institutions fire department.
The Council Bluffs department was
called on for assistance but as the city
water system does not extend to the
institution only one hose company and
the hook and ladder company went.
They attached their hose to the water
mains of the Institutions independent
water service but the pressure was so
light that the fire soon spread to the
east and west wings of the building
and all that could be done was to res
cue the personal belongings Of the in
mates from the building and save the
surrounding buildings. The building
is a total loss to the state as the board
of control has refused to insure the
, state property, thinking it cheaper for
the state to carry its own insurance.
Superintendent Rothert estimates
the loss to the state to be approximate.
! ly 100000. He lost of his personal
belongings something like $4,000. Sn'
perintendent Rothert announced late
last night that he would send the chill
dren to their homes today.
