Friends of General Miles assert the
Administration did rot adhere to the La
mont precedent. when General Brooke

been such as to entitle him to recogni-
tion from the President and the Secre-
tCry of War fer "gallantry in action or
performance Of specially hazardous ser

Ex Secretary Lamont
Barred EulogieS of Of
flcers Leaving Service.
ROOT ACTS ON PRECEDENT
DefenSeg However, Is Not
Accepted by Friends
of Miles.

Criticism of the cold and formal order
with which the Secretary of War an
nounced the retirement yesterday of
Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, command
ing the army, called forth an expIana-
tion from the War Department in a
memorandum" issued late yesterday
afternoon from the office of Adjutant
General Corbin.
The failure of the Administration to
issue an order commencing General
Miles is defended on the ground that such
a course would have been in violation of
an Interpretation of army regulation
III fQS95). made by Secretary of War
Lamont In 1896. No comment is made
by Secretary Root or Adjutant General
Corbin in the memorandum" which is
as follows:
Army Regulations III, 1895. :
Orders eulogizing the conduct of living
officers will not be issued except in cases
Of gallantry in action or performance OF
specially hazardous services.
The Secretary of War LamonD de-
cides that under this regulation the prac-
tice of announcing the retirement In gen
eral orders of general officers and
chiefs of War Department bureaus be
discontinued. and that hereafter the re-
tirement OF such officers shall be an
nounced in special orders, as was the
practice prior to 1892.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE
WITHOUT FIRE-ESCAPiS
Investigators Make Some
Startling Disclosures.
PUPILS FACE DEATH DAILY
Many Could Not Escape Should Sc
rious ConhagratiOn Take
Place.

An alarming condition of affairs has
been disclosed in the District concerning
public school buildings in the prelimi-
nary repor which Chief OF the Fire De-
pEItment Belt and Fire Marshal Bieber
are preparing on the safety OF the struc-
lures for the District Commissioners
Despite the fact that a majority Of the
buildings are more. than three stories
high. and that there are from twenty TO
forty children ranging from five TO nine
teen years In the buildings, which con-
tain from eight TO sixteen rooms. none
has a fre-escape which would be per
mitted upon any similar building in any
city in the United States.
The men who have been making the
Investigation admit that should any OF
the structures be destroyed by fire dur
ing school hours, there would certainly
be a big loss of life among the little
ones, notwithstanding the efficiency of
the fire drills which the teachers have
begun in all Of the institutions.
Fire drills would be Of little use, say
the cficers, when .-seyeral hundred chill
dren are up two or more stories in the
air, with 40 means of escaping except by
old wooden stairways, which are likely
TO act as fues for a blaze.

Danger Present.

The lack OF fire-cscapcs and hre-ex-
tiDgrishing appliances in The public
schools was called 10 the attention oi
the Commissioners Of the District sew
eral weeks ago. and they ordered Chief
Belt and Fire Marshal Bieber TO make
the investigation. These officers went
20 work Wednesday, and yesterday they
completed the draft Of a preliminary
reoort.
One OF the first structures visited was
the Peabody School. al c and Fiftf.
Streets southeast. which was found 10
possess one Of the old fashioned vertical
dre-e escapes CT the kind that are abso-
lutely useless. unless one is a trained
athlete.
Children could not use them. and few
women could make the descent on one
There are several hundred children
upon the upper floors OF the building
during school hours, and not more thar
half a dozen could be carried down the
old fre-escapes in half an hour.
In addition to the lack Of an escape.
the investigators discovered that the
stairs were all OF wood. aged, dry and
dccayed material, which would burn
like finder. and which would 90 so fast
egress from above would be cut of in
ten minutes from the time a blaze began

At the Garnet School. at Tenth and L
Streets northwest. the same condition
Of affairs were discovered. the stair
ways being Of old wood, and the one
frc-cscape being Of the vertical type
In neither building was there any fire
extiDguishing apparatus or even water
buckets.
At the Wallach School in D Street. be-
tween Seventh and Eighth Streets south
east. the Investigators found no FIRE es-
cape at all and no apparatus. The same
condition ruled az the Berret School at
Fourteenth and q Streets northwest: at
the Lenox School IN Fifth Streets be

the il Street High School. and the East

buildings. however. matters were i'm
proved by the stairs being of slate ana
iron. These are the only buildings in
spected. but the officers have learned
that the danger exists in nearly every
school IN the city
The Investigations are to continue un-
Ill all of the buildings have been in

The officers think that the broad plat
form fire escape. which resembles a
staircase. which is partly covered. and
down which the littlest hye-year- old
tOddleT could get safely to the ground
if he found his school on ire, is the
proper type to be adopted.

IN RECEIVERS HANDS.

Eastern mortage holders of the Den
yer & Boston company, who have been
working the Gregory Bobtail properties,
this week applied for receiver to take
hold OF the company's affairs, and the
court SO ordered and appointed Mr..
Thompson as such receiver. The east
ernners also advanced the money to pay
off the miners for December, and it is
hoped that all the creditors will get to.
gether and let the receiver work it. The
eastern creditors want the mine worked
so that each creditor will have an equal
share in the profits, although they have
prior rights. Receiver Thompson hopes
to be able to sink the Cook shaft and
make other necessary developments,
which il done will without doubt
again place the property on dividend
paying basis.
