Principal Wallace spoke IN the same

cause Of the blaze IL profound mys-
terry to the school authorities and to the
firemen. The room is entirely away
from the furnace and from any electric

wonder is that the blaze did not get n

and teachers cut OFF from all points Of
exit But no time was lost in turn
ing In an alarm as soon as the smoke
penetrated the upper rooms.
Principal W. $. Wallace was I'm his
room at the time, and remaining very
cool, he communicated with the lG
teachers IN the school, 10y means OF
speaking tubes, and quietly told them
to march the children into the halls
and get them IN readiness for marching
out The tots little dreamed OF what
was going on until the signal was
given. a march was played on the
plano, and keeping perfect time with
the music the children began 10 leave
the building only for a moment was
there anything like panic That was
when Principal Wallace left the chill

some OF the pupils discovered there
was fire aud made a rush for the
doors. But a sharp command from
the teachers stopped them, and they
again fell into the marching line. TO

school at the time, The fire was soon

What might have been a great flre
horror was narrowly ayerted this morn
ing at the Union school, q three-story
brick building on Third West and First
North streets, on the old University
block. 1t was prevented by timely dis
covery, the prompt response of the fire
fighters from station No. and the UNI

in body out Of the building After
the fire was extnguished there was a
ycritable panic among some of the
ohidrens panets who had heard OF the
blaze and rushed frantlcally to the
scene. But fortunately. no one was
hurt, and the loss to the building will
not exceed SO
The alarm was turned IN from box i2l
at 1853 this morning. The apparatus
from No. responded quickly, and AS
sistant Chief Wood answered the alarm
from the central station, The startling
news that school building was on fire
spread rapidly. The police department
was notified and Chief Lynch, Sergeant

by the time the apparatus arrived at

the building and under perfect control,
setting a splendid example, by their
quietness and decorum, to their exclt-

that time.
The fire was in the basement and al
most directly under the center Of the

The Question is: where is Ae?"-.iame
Home Week Ago Yesterday But
Has Not Been Seen Since
FEDERAL INSPECTORS ARE ACTIVE
Story That he Is Out Of Town Not Cen
orally Belieyed--Absence Crates
A Sensation,

A sensation was created in political
and business circles today when there
was confirmation OF the report that
government inspectors had been here
for the past two weeks or more In
curing after Perry Heath Just what
they want Of him is not known beyond
the fact that the ex-first assistant post
generals presence Is required
IN the east at this particular time In
connection with some phase OF the no.
torIous postal scandal. Day after day
and night after night the inspectors
sought to locate Mr. Heath, but In valn
1t is given out that he Is out of the
cty-that he did not arrive home when
Mrs. Heath returned one week ago.
But il is stated in the most positive
manner by citizens who say they saw
him on that day, that he did return
at that time. As TO where he is now
that is ,,nother proposition. However.
the most diligent inquiry and search
have failed to locate him.
The chief inspector who has been here
Is James II. Bennett OF Cheyenne, who
was designated by the postal depart
ment to assist in the ventilation Of the
postal frauds. II Is said he returned
to Wyoming last night after becoming
convinced that It was useless to remain
here longer, particularly as he had got
what information he wanted and had
placed the service papers for Mr. Heath
IN the hands OF the United States mar
shall. with the knowledge that they
would be duly served before any con-
siderable time can elapse.
1t is matter OF wide public knowl-
edge that some very grave charges
have been made against Mr.. Heath.
and that they have never come TO light
for the reason It is alleged, that the
statute OF limitations had acted as
bar in his case, Why then, there is so
strong desire 90 get him on 10 the
witness stand at this time cannot be
understood except ON the presumption
that It is not case against him per-
sonaly that he viii be asked 10 throw
light upon but upon that Of some per-
sonal friend. a full understanding OF
whose methods might disclose some OF
his own official acts, 1t Is known that
government lawyers have been exceed
!ngy anxious for months to have Mr..
Heath placed on the witness stand
either as principal or witness
Meanwhile the Utah public as well
as the people of the United States will
wait the outcome Of the present case

 The kaiser inquired whether the gov ernment factory provided kitchens where the midday lunches could be warmed. The kaiser said to member of his suite: These kitchens are as nee esary to workmen as for us, for work men have just as sensitive stomachs as we and like their food warm instead of cold. Besides. their wives don't have to bring their husbands warm dinners. They can remain at home to attend to the child" The result of the kaiser's visit will be kitchens installed in all gov ernment workshops.

NO TIPS FOR HIS WATERS.
New York Restaurant Man Makes Q Discovery-Then Came Change
 in His System.

"My walters get very few tips," said a downtown restaurant man, "and l don't have to print notices to my customers that they are not expected to tip the waiter. It is really very simple and within the power of a restaurant manager to stop the custom if he wants to do so," says the New York Times.
 "You see, when a customer tips a waiter regularly he expects to get extra service or to have his check scaled down, and the res taurant is beaten by the game. In other words, the tipping of wait CTS took money out of my pocket.
 q said nothing, but kept my eyes open for few days, and l saw that it was in handing the check to the customer that the walters got their tips. When they were doubtful of a man they actually made him ask for his check. That observation made it simple.
 "Without a word about tips l made a rule that when a GUS. toner was served the waiter should immediately lay down by his plate the check for the amount ordered and change it subsequent. ly if he ordered more. That left no opportunity for the waiter to dumbly suggest that his hand was open, and it made it easy for the customer to get away without giv- ing coin to the man who phad served him.
 "In week tipping had practic' ally ceased in my restaurant and the checks began to increase to the right size. All paid for what they got and others increased their orders as soon as they were relieved of paying tribute to the waiter. It worked admirably and helped my business. Restaurant men are foolish not to stop tho tipping imposition. They can dc 1t if they want to-"
