FIRE BELL FMPTIES
SCHOOL IN A HURRY
Unexpected Test of Drill at
Webster School Works
Successfully

AT an unexpected test of the fire drill
yesterday at the Webster school, the
three story building was emptied CT
children and teachers in two and one
half minutes
The test was planned and executed
by William E. Boeringer, school in
spector, and George Gerlach. superin-
tendent of repairs of the public school
system, and was Witnessed by George
H. Prudden. whose children attend the
school and who had raised the ques-
ton as to the safety of the Webster
school pupils in case of fire.
The thoroughness of the recently
adopted fire drill, in the case of this
school, is illustrated by the fact that
the 500 pupils came from the building
In perfect order although they believed
that the fire alarm really meant that
there was blaze in the building and
that they were in danger. Many of the
children came out the door with white
faces and with tears in their eyes, but
there was not break in the ranks as
the teachers led the way.
Children Respond Quickly
When Messrs. Boeringer. Ger1ach
and Prudden arrived at the building
the assistant janitor was the only per-
son in sight. Leaving the other two
men standing outside, Gerlach went to
the principals Office and found it emp
ty. Without a moments hesitation he
sounded the fire alarm, and in sec
ond the heretofore quiet building was
alive with the sound of shutting feet.
Without great noise the chilren quick
~ formed in line, and led by their
teachers started for the steps.
Not knowing what the ringing of
the alarm meant, the janitor opened
the doors on the two sides of the
building, and almost before he had ac-
complished the purpose the children
came streaming out, three abreast
There was no delay, although some of
the smaller children were apparently
excited, and but for the restraining
influence of the teachers would have
broken from the line and run for the
doors. But even to the last child they
came out in order
Inspector Boeringer, who kept the
time from the first sound of the fire
alarm bell until the last of the pupils
had passed out of the building, de-
clared that the actual time, almost TO
a second, was two and a half minutes.
The result of the test thoroughly salts
fed Mr.. Prudden that his children are
IN no danger from fire.

ASSIGNEE ACCUSED OF
CONTEMPT OF COURT
p. T. kavanaeh Cited to Show Cause
Why He Should Not BE Punished

Judge Lewis, of the district court,
yesterday issued an order citing Pat
rick T. Kavanagh, assignee of Dowlan
& Son, to appear in court and show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt. The application for the
order is made by the Fidelity & De-
post Company of Maryland. which is
on Mr.. Kavanagh's bond in the sum
of $4,000. The bonding company
complains that Mr.. Kavanagh, as as
signee, has made no accounting, and it
is also charged that he has paid no at
tention to sundry citations from the
district court. The company desires
to be relieved from its trust.
1t is charged that Mr.. Kavanagh has
neglected to keep up the payments of
his premiums for the bond, but the
law requires that the company remain
surety until the estate is settled or un-
til it is removed by order of the court.
1t is seeking the latter relief.

Judge Bum, in his order, says it was
not shown that the plaintiff explained
that he was in any hurry, and the de-
degree of negligence. Mr.. Anderberg
did not inform the company that he
wished to make connections with q
steamer, and Judge Bum holds that
he Is not entitled to special damages.

DESTROY 80 HEAD OF
TUBERCULOSIS CATTLE
Killed at South st. Paul by Order Of
Live Stock Sanitary Board

Thirty-two head of cattle, from two
herds in Freeborn county, were de-
stroyed yesterday at the South St.
Paul stock yards by order of the live
stock sanitary board. The cattle were
infected by tuberculosis and were
brought to the stock yards to be killed
because more could be realized from
the by-products there than though
they were butchered in the country. 1t
is said that the hides are worth more
when removed scientifically than by
the usual process.
The cattle had been inspected and
found infected by DR.. S. H. Ward on q
recent trip of inspection to Freeborn
county. The loss to, their owners is
partially compensated by state aid.

MAYOR APPROVES
HEATING FRANCHISE
Sees No Weight in objection of
Stationary Engineers to the
sslp Ordinance


Mayor Smith yesterday approved the
franchise ordinance granted the Amer
lean District Steam company, declaring
that he found little merit in the objec-
tons Of the stationary engineers, sup
ported by the Trades, and Labor as
sembly
J. II. Hickey appeared for the labor
element and argued at some length in
opposition to the approval of the fran
chise- He commended that a rate should
be fixed for charges, and that provision
should have been made to secure the
repair Of the pavements that are torn
up. He objected because it was not
stated in the franchise that the steam
was to be used entirely for heating
purposes, and that the result would be
that a great many stationary engineers
would be driven out of employment.
Thomas McDermott, attorney for the
company, stated that it would be i'm
possible to make, rate in the fran
cnlse, as the company will be in direct
competition with the owners of the
buildings, who at present furnish their
own heat, AS the commissioners of
pubic works have charge Of the cut
ting or pavements and see to the re-
pairs he could not see what objection
Sould ne IHdue on this ground. LII the
franchise was to be refused because it
might throw few men out of employ
ment 1t would be necessary to reject
the most modern improvements and in
ventions.
Saw No Ground for Veto
Mayor Smith did not think the points
made by the DIRECTORS We're sufficient to
demand that he veto a franchise that
had been passed by an almost unani-
nous vote of the city council. The only
phase of the discussion that attracted
his attention was that relating to the
use Of the franchise for other than the
purpose of heating.
The franchise gives the American
District company the right to lay pipes
upon a large number of downtown
streets and contains the charter pro-
visions imposing a per cent gross
earnings tax and gives the council
power to regulate rates. 1t runs for
twenty-five years, and if at any time
the city constructs conduits the COM
pany is required to put the service
pipes in them.
