RELIGIOUS ORDERS MUST 60 SHOE FACTORY FIRE TO-DAY
Chamber of Deputies Voted On
 the Matter Yesterday.

A System of Governmental Schools
 iWill Be ab1ished-NIany of the
 Religious Orders Anticipating the
 Vote Had Made Plans to Retire
 From the Field.
 Paris, March 19.-The vote in the chamber of deputies yesterday even ing gives definite form to the present policy of the government to terminate the existence of the religious teaching orders and to substitute system of overnmental schools. The principle of this change was formulated under the premiership of M. Waldeck- Rous- seau, but its~actual enforcement was left to the Combes ministry The law voted yesterday is very brief and negative in it's terms, simply refusing authorization to teach to all the male teaching orders. The effect of this is to place the orders outside the pale of the law and their further existence is through sufferance. There remains to be determined the orders will be al- lowed to wind up their affairs and ter minate their work.
 Many of the orders, anticipating the chamber vote of yesterday, have al ready completed their plans to retire from the field. Numerous incidental questions are involved in the transfer renee of the pupils and the effect on the extensive properties, and notices of several interpellations have been given with the view of securing delay per- hitting an adjustment of the new con ditions. But the statements of Nj. Combes and other ministerialists in dicate the prompt carrying out of the premier's policy.
 An analysis of the vote shows that the ministry retained ample majority for all practical purposes, although there was some falling off from the usual ministerial strength, twenty five ministerialists separating themselves from the majority and four others not voting. On the other hand, the, min- isterial strength was augmented sSby scattering votes from the nationa1ists, while practically the full strength of the socialists, radicals and union dem- ocrats supported the ministry.

Thought to Be the Work of An
 Incendiapy.

The Loss Will Be About $500 OO0-Au-
 tomobile Belonging to Proprietor of
 Factory Was Safely Removed, But
 Was Later Found Damaged Almost
 Beyond Repair.
 Pepperell,t Mass, March 19-A fire which started shortly aIler 1 oclocK thls morning in the pig shoe factory occupied by al. c. Grimm, aU Lne corner or Main and Foster streets, East Pep peren, destroyed the tacrory and a stores and dwelling houses, entailing a stores and dewlling houses, entailihg a loss estimated at $oOO,0OO. As the local fire department could not cope with the flames, aid was called rom Nashaa, N. H. With this help the local depart ment fought until nearly daylight be fore gaining control of the fire, and the day was well advanced when they were able to leave the burned dis trict. Then the Pepperell men had to find new quarters, for the engine house was among the buildings destroyed. The setcion swept by the flames was formed by q group of buildings which centered about the shoe shop on Main
 
 l road, so called.
 The loss is particularly disastrous, as the Griffin factory was having good run of business and was employing about 300 hands. It was 8 compara- lively new building, erected by an as sociation of citizens for the occupancy of MT Griffin and cost $125 5,OOO. Be- sides the factory the buildings burned
 were: On Main street, three stores 1 and six dwelling houses owned by E. B. Tarbell; shoe store of -. F. Golf. On Foster street, store and dwelling of W. A. Kemp, jeweler; engine house; dwelling of Thomas Brown; dwelling of Frank Bray; dwelling house owned by Mrs Frank Bray.
 On the river road, store of J. J. 1 Saunders, dealer in general merchan- 1 disc; dwelling of Mrs H. A. Gutterson; l two dwelling houses owned by B. E. l Tarbell Of the individual losses the heaviest will fall upon MT Griffin and MT Tar bell. The shoe manufacturer states that during the past week he had un- loaded twenty carloads of leather. and business was rushing. He had not es- tmated his loss this forenoon. The in l surance on all the property destroyed l is said to have been comparatively small
 The origin of the fire has not been learne' It is suspected, however, that l it was the work of an incendiarv. The fact that MT Grif1n's automobile,
 which was in the box shop of the fac l tory and which was removed in per 1 fectly good condition to a safe distance from the factory was found wrecked after the fire, Is taken as an indication l that some one had an ill feeling against MT Griffin. The body of the machine was disfgured by cracks and scars, the lamps had been wrenched off. the tires and cushions gashed with knife and the running gear battered as if with a hammer or an axe. There will be an investigation to determine the | cause of the fire

LABOR MEN MUST REMAIN SOBER.
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

Vice Chairman Kent Explains Bill
 State Editors Are Criticizing. To the Democrat:
 The bill- $121. .95- sent to the state comptroller, covering claim of local de partment of education, was made up as follows: 4 5y 5 tons coal at S12. 100. ........... .$6O.OO Extra services of Janitor and
 assistants .............. 27.00 Labor for scrubbing .......... HOO bum1gatiOn ..... \ IOO Janitors' supplies soap, gold
 dust and disinfectants .... 400 Long distance telephone tolls.. 14.95
 Total .......... S121 e5
 These were actual items of expense against the appropriation allowed us |py the city for the maintenance of the schools during the fiscal year, and for this amount the board of education is accountable to the board of finance The Dill was made out and forwarded to the state comptroller at Hartford upon the advice Of tho officers com manding the troops located in the
 building. No rent charge for occu- lpancy of the High school by the bat tallon of state strnops has been made Whatever7t the splendid behavior of the troops therein quartered being such as to in no way interfere with the usual routine
 A simple inquiry verbal or tele-, phonic-to any member of the board. or education, to Superintendent Tinker. or to Clerk Fitzgerald, would have ehc1ted willing explanation to any or our fellow citizens, or, if they will lattend the boards meetings, which are open to the public, they can be assure6l or respectful and courteous hearing whenever they desire to bring up a point.
 It is hoped that the board or educa- ton enjoys the confidence of almost all
 our fellow citizens, as we certainly have endeavored to De conscientious dli the discharge of the delicate duties appertai ming thereto. TO the one or two
 who have perhaps hastily jumped to conc clusions without first pausing to olF,- tain the facts, we would in a kindly l spirit suggest that they cease ssspIit- ting hairs'' and become imbued with that spirit oe good nature and "get t,-
 gether' which is steadily forging to the front alnong tf1e citizens of Water bury. K 1 CHARLES Y. KENT. l Vice Chairman Board of Education.

.RUMOR ABOUT MRS HULL.
Her Attorney Says She Is Not
 Breaking Down.
The Story That She Was Injured is Without Foundation-She is Merely Upset By the Burdick Murder As Are All the Friends of the Family.

Are All the Er1enQS or the Eam1ly.
 Buffalo, N. Y., March 19.-Lawyer Albert A. Hartzell, counsel for Mrs Hull, was seen early to-day with refer. ence to the reporter injury or illness of Mrs Hull. He said: Mrs Hull is ill her usual health. She has not been hurt nor injured The story of hurst or injury is absolutely false. The man All len, at the house, is a clerk stationed with instructions to refuse informa- tion.''
 MT Hartzell continued: Mrs Hull is not giving way. So far as her not being herself is concerned, that is true. She is not herself. An occurrence like this would upset anyone. I'm not my self since the murder. Tn the accepted sense of not being one's self, all the Burdiclxs friends may be said to be in that state"
