THIRTEEN GUESTS ARE
SEATED 1T SAME Table
Mayor Hoffman Discovers Pre-
dicament, but Temptation
Proves Too Strong.

Although all the outward show of fes-
tivity still reigned at the banquet at the
Manual Training School prepared by the
schools dainty cooks for certain of the Wis
itOrs, there was an air of u~neasiness made
manifest by furtive glances cast round the
table. For some ever-alert members, by
that seated around the table were thirteen.
The hOnOred head of the city, Mayor
Hoffman, was one of the first to notice the
hair-raising situation.
Mayor Hoffman Immediately informed
his n%eighbors of the state of affairs, and
thereupon arose a predicament; on one side
was the thought of the situation; on the
other, strengthened by the fragrant odors
that were waited through the door, was the
dinner.
Long did the guests ponder and many
were the suggestions offered. Some were
in favor of dividing the tables, but that APP
peared to be unsociable.
The mayor wanted to leave, but his posi-
ton as guest of honor would not permit
this. All this time the feast was waiting.
and at last they grimly accepted the stu
alton. And when ii appeared they quickly
forgot all base superstitions, for the maids
at Training School know how to cook.
These cooks, dressed in white aprons and
little white caps, first served a tempting
lighted candles was in the center of the
table.
The ''unIucky'' members of this unlucky
number were Principal c.. L. Emmerich,
Mayor Hoffman, DIR. Stone, of Purdue;
Superintendent Kendall President Sweeny,
Moores, Sickles, Taylor, Emerich and Gle
land; Mr.. Ries, OF the German Telegraph:
George c. HIT. of the Journal, and Charles
r. Williams, of the News.

"OPEN HOUSE" KEPT FOR
VISITORS TO SCHOOL

AS a fitting end to the celebrations begun
in the morning in honor Of decennial. the
Manual Training High School kept open
house last night for the benefit of busi-
ness men who were unable toSattend the
other exercises. From basement to tower
the building was a blaze of light.
So large has the building become that
cards were printed, on which directions
were given for the best route over the
school. BY the aid of these the visitors
found their way from the machine shop,
in the extreme north end of the building,
up through the various woodworking
rooms, the auditorium and on to the phys
ical and chemical laboratories on the third
floor Of the south end.
They did so with greater ease than the
average freshman on his first day at school.
From the chemical laboratory to the
gymnasium is one long descent of four
lights of stairs. and as the visitors went
down and down, the air growing cooler as
they reached the underground, they force
fully realized the magnitude of the building.

Court Says Burglary Was
Caused by Negligence

The Appellate Court yesterday reversed
the Judgment which had been recovered by
Flora Sanders, of Newport, Ind, from the
Fidelity and Casualty Company, of New
York. Miss Sanders was postmistress at
Newport, and while in this position she took
out a policy against burglary in the above
company. Burglars entered the postofice,
opened the iron safe and took money anc
postage stamps. The cOmpany refused TO
pay the loss because the side door of the
safe had not been blown open, but appeared
to have been left unlocked, and the only
Manage done was by prying open a drawer.
(which the thieves carried away with them.
khe company insisted that their policy did
BIT cover such a burglary and would not
10y the claim The Appellate Court held
the claim a bad one.

Court Holds Child Not
Guilty of NEGLIGENCE

A 5000 judgment in favor of Eddie Fox
against the Chicago & Erie Railroad was
affirmed by the Appellate Court yesterday.
Fox. who is six years old. while playing on
a turntable belonging TO the railroad COM
pany was hurt. The court said there was
no doubt that the company would be ex-
cused from liability if a grown person were
hurt I'm the same way because the boy had
no right TO be on the turntable. But il waS
held that the company should have barred
the boys of of it's grounds where the turn
table was. A boy so young as the plaintiff
was not c~hargeable with c~Ontributory neg
lgence, the court says.
