a fire broke out in John Roza'S
home Friday morning. A child about
two or three years old had been put
ting some wood i'm the stove which
was i'm a small summer kitchen at the
rear of the home. This kitchen was
lined with building paper and, no
doubt, fire fell from the stove and ig-
nited this paper, although no one saw
the occurrence. The child then walked
in to his mother and remarked, 81
can't put it out, while just behind the
little tot shot the flames of the burn
ing building. Alarm was given at
once. The water mains had no water
in them, but buckets were procured
and water carried to the fire which
was extinguished before the fire de-
partment arrived. Considerable dam
age was done to the kitchen, but the
parents feel thankful above their loss
for the safety of their child who might
have received most dreadful burns if
he had remained longer in the room.
Much has already been said about
the graduation of DR.. Harry Emeis at
the Baltimore School of Dentistry and
his good fortune in securing the dia-
mond medal, yet a short account Of
the struggle necessary for him to
secure the medal may not prove unin-
teresting. At the time young Emeis
entered upon his studies another
young man named Mabie, graduate of
Harvard, also entered the class. At
the end of the first years work the
general averages OF the young men
were but slightly more than per
cent apart, and the same story was
repeated the second year, Emeis being
in the lead each time. This year

Into Thirty-Day Jobs.
CHANGES IN ASSIGNMENTS
Rural Free Delivery Inspector Doing
Clerical Work Has Salary
Held Up.

Auditor Castle, of the Postoffice De
partment, and his subordinates are
working on a new line OF Investigation
into the methods of division csiefs. Tn
der the civil service rules the various
Government departments are allowed
to make temporary appointments for
thirty days TO fill vacancies until regu-
lar appointment can be made from the
classified lists. The appointments are
frequently made and there has developed
the custom Of making an appointment
signing the appointee to an entirely diff
feTent line of work.
This custom is said to have been pre-
valent in the PostofFce Department for
a long time and it has been the subject
OF much comment among certain high
officials. who made strenuous efforts to
prevent the shifting of assignments
\ specific instance OF the kind was dis
closed yesterday. 4 young man was ap-
pointed to thirty day position. as rural
free delivery inspector. but instead Of
doing hat work he did clerical work in

Against Capital.

2 CHICAGO. april 6.-Lahor leaders are
discussing The startling speech made by
Frank Buchanan. president OF the Inter
national Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, here yesterday.
in which he said that labor unions
shoa!d unite and declare one gigantic
strike against capital.
The present strike Of our members
all ever the country against the Ameri-
can Bridge Company may be the begin
ming of the industrial upheavaI, he
said. THAT strike is likely to spread
so as TO tie UP tie building industry
in the United States, as We are consid-
ering the question Of refusing to handle
material made by the United States
Steel Corporation. In case such an or
der is issued thousands OF men not di-
rectly interested in the strike will be
involved, because, if the iron workers
refuse to set structural steel, all the
other building trades viii be thrown
out of employment"

COTTON MILLS MAY
RESUME OPERATIONS

LOWELL, Mass, April 6.-It is posi-
BILE that the cotton mills may resume
operations within short time. It was
plainly evident today that the mill man
ayers were feeling the pulse of the strik-
ers with the view of resuming work
with partial force.
The sign that they look for is the ap-
Pearance Of a disposition among the idle
masses TO break away from the union
leaders and seek reinstatement at the
old schedule Of wages. When this dis
position seems strong enough TO insure a
we'll -bala9ced force in all departments,
some of the agents will set date for
reopening their mills and invite former
employees to return.

Remarkable Career of Woman of

Louise Ames Van Weik, the recently
divorced wife Of Baron" WolfbaueT.
who shot herself dead before a mirror
in a Jersey City hotel Saturday. arrived
in Jersey City this morning but could
throw little light on the cause for the
suicide
Mr. Royston saw his foster sister in
December last. when she spent some
days in Baltimore. He said that she was
then in good health and spirits
Fails to Recognize Her.
She was much stouter when / saw
her last" said Mr. Royston. and. in
deed, she had changed so much that ]
did not recognize her when I called at
the morgue this morning I have not
seen much of her in the past year but
I have received letters from her from
time TO time.
Mrs. Van Weik was about year old
when my parents adopted her I knew
her first husband. Van Weik. who is now
q postofice inspector in St Louis. It is
true that she was divorced from him
about Eve years ago. never knew
much about her second husband. Wolf
bauer. After her marriage to him. two
years ago, she wrote me a number OF
letters. saying how happy she was and
how loving and kind her husband was
TO her.
JeweIry Absent.
Mr. Royston said that his foster sis
ter owned much valuable jeweIry. and
he thought it odd that none of this had
been found II is said that this may be
in a vault in the Garfield Safe Deposit
Company, at Sixth Avenue and Twenty-
third Street, which she rented on Sat
urday,
Z can assign no reason for Mrs Van
Weik's suicide, except that she may
have been running through her money.
and perhaps became despondent over
the fact, said Mr. RoystoD She had
property in Baltimore and Washington
worth from $4,000 10 800 0G0. It is
possible that she had been speculating
IN stocks, or gambling on the races, and
may have found herself getting into
straits. This is merely surnise on my
part. but it is the only reason 1 can
assign for her taking her life"
