Wait for Fremen Before You Jump
By CHIEF SWLNGLEY.
OF The 81, Louis Fire Department.

MNVM N forty-ninc out OF every fifty cases where persons jump from
EN IA burning buildings aud are killed or injured they would be-
EyE1I9 rescued IL they waited until the arrival Of the hrcmcn. What
persons should do il cut of from escape is To shut the door 81
the room in which they arc ard make for the nearest window.
The best way is to crawl. There is always n space next the floor
where the air is good. Smoke always rises. don't care il a building
is filled with dense smoke, a window can be reached by crawling aud
keeping the head close to the floor.
Persons should get ON the outside OF the window. The room may
be filled with fire. but it will take some time before the fire reaches them.
PERSONS SHOULD WAIT UNTIL. THEIR CLOTHES CATCH
ON FIRE BEFORE JUMPING. IT is ALMOST SURE DEATH
TO JUMP.
Burning buildings do not fall Immediately. They are generally
burning at least half an hour before they begin TO fall. Even if the build
ing does begin to fall, the portion where one is may not fall. A PER
SON ALWAYS HAS \ CHANCE BY REMAINING.
With our pompier system we can scale the highest building IL there
are windows to which to attach the ladders. One Of our missions is ~
save lives. and when we see persons in danger every effort will be made
to save them.
OF course, when persons are placed in great danger, minutes seem
like hours. The engines get to fires in the majority OF cases within a few
minutes after the alarm has been given.

S&VE OF as the modern representative of the frigatc II the
days Of 1872, but the comparison is lacking in analogy.
True, the sailing figatc was the eyes OF the fleet, but the fleet was
then substantially all frgates and the ships were both eyes and claws.
The modern armored cruiser has grown and grown and grown,
until she is nearly as heavy as the biggest of batteships Our Ten
nesscc and Washington are 81 designed that they may fall right into
the heavy fighting line. but it is needless to say they would suffer in
attack a great deal more than their line mates, the Connecticut and
Louisiana. True. they ire speedier than the battcships by quite four
knots-onc making IS and the other ~ knots-but that gain in speed
S secured at a sacrifice in gun power and armor defense.
In actual endurance the batteship will be able to steam further
at all generally needed rates of speed, so where will your armored
cruiser be found toward the end of a long concerted rn1 I think
and don't think their logical employment is that of scouts for the

putting the difference in the true elements of the fighting lnc-that
is, the big, heavily armed and armorcd batteships.
! think our naval constructors have evolved a remarkably fine or
der OF craft in the battcships Connecticut and Louisiana, and think
congress would do wisely in authorizing the construction Of quite ten
more between now and the end Of the next FIVE years. A naval man
knows the vast superiority that lies in u strictly homogeneous squad

mated horses knows full well the difference between their running
and the work to be got out of n pair less well matched. I,atucships

therefore. WAS suspended according 10
the bylaws. The collector failed to pay
Taylors assessment for October, rs he
had been in the habit of doing when II
was overdue, and when it was rendered
three days later. just before Tayiors
death. 1t was refused on the ground
that under the bylaws Taylor was under
suspension. Mrs. Taylor recovered JudS-
ment against the supreme council. which
appealed. Judge Thayer says the qucs-
ton Is whether the supreme council was
cogniZant of the practice of the collec-
tor III accepting the assessment of Fay
lor after he was delinquent and whether
it ratified such practice by accepting the
delinquent's assessment in violation OF
its bylaws. He finds nothing in the
evidence to warrant this presumption.

Startling Evidence.

Negro "Herb DOctor's" Case Produces
Startling Evidence.
Philadelphia police authorities have di-
rected the opening of thirty-four graves,
having obtained evidence which leads
them to believe that George Hossey, the
negro herb DOCTOR" is responsible for
at least that many deaths. Hossey is in
Jail as an accessory to the murder of
William G. Dame, whose widow is
charged with having administered to her
husband slow poison given by thre negro.
This case is assuming proportions far
beyond the comprehension of those con-
nected with it ut the time Hossey was
arrested. The real investigation is only
beginning and before it proceeds much
farther startling developments will come.
There may be several arrests, but they
are not likely to come before the bodies
exhumed have been examined by the
chemists.
Detectives are searching for n white
woman who is alleged TO have represent
ed Hossey in the preliminary dealings
with his patrons.
Seventy letters, written mostly by
women, have been found in the home of
Hossey These letters are said to be
of al discriminating nature. They vary
little in their terms, aud, it is asserted,
show that HOssey charged SlOO for ev-
cry case. Some of the letters point to
payment of the fee in installments.

When She Was Convinced.

A New York City school teacher had
the following experience: Her family
WAS notified Of the death Of a relative
In Germany OF whose circumstances
they knew nothing. A few weeks ar
ter this an advertisement appeared In
a daily paper requesting any person
having a certain name to visit law
yer whose address was given on i'm
pOrtant business. The name NEIL
toned was that of the school teacher.
The teacher thought she had inher-
tied her uncle's money, the amount OF
which her Imagination increased Won
derfully. She accordingly visited the
lawyer and was greatly disappointed
when told that she was not the per-
son sought. Not quite convinced, she
asked the lawyer how he knew that
she was not the person.
''The woman we are looking for Is
colOred," replied the lawyer.
Even so," said the school teacher,
not quite satisfied. "some mistake may
have been made. What did you want
of herr"
"Oh," responded the lawyer, "she
bought a piano on the installment plan
and moved after she paid the first in
stallment-we are trying to locate
her"

Train from Chicago on the MOnon
Struck by One from Cincinnati.
Passenger train 30 on the Monon Rail
road was wrecked at Cyclone, Ind. The
last sleeper on the train was overturned
and another sleeper and n day coach
were damaged. The passengers were
shaken up and ten of them received scalp
wounds and bruises, but. all were able to
continue on their way. Cyclone is the
meeting point of this train and north
bound train 36. The south-bound train
was first TO get to Cyclone and found a
freight on the siding. The freight was
so. long that all of the passenger train
could not get on the siding, leaving half
of it on the main track. A heavy fog
prevailed, and a brakeman from the pas
senger tarin was sent ahead to flag the
north-bound train. The brakeman carried
red lantern, but he did not get the
signal TO the north-bound crew, and the
engineer. seeing the headlight of the
freight on the siding. mistook it for the
passenger engine and started to run by.
His engine struck the sleeper Alabama
and turned it over on its side. One of
the trucks of the sleeper Nicosia was
knocked from under the car. The north
bound engine was damaged.
