THE COMMISSION
SEEKING after
FIRE ESCAPES

The fire commission, consisting Of
Frank P. Hogan. II. Preusse, ]. N.
Glover. d. B. Fotheringham. three
members of the board of public
works, three members of the council,
the mayor and Chief Myers of the
fire department, left the city hall this
morning on their tour OF inspection
Of theaters, churches and public
buildings. The Spokane theater re-
ceived first attention. The commit
tee was met by the management and
every nook and corner was thorough
ly inspected. Manager Dan l.. Weaver
explained all the renovations now in
progress and listened to recommended
tions from the commission. Many
more exits We're found in the build
ing than We're expected. The balcony
was more thoroughly inspected thas
any other part of the house, with
the exception of the stage. The com
mission here requested that a row of
seats be taken out of each aisle and
n row from each side. and two exits
cut through the walls on each side
of the house. AS the gallery Is most
ly occupied by men and boys the
arrangement on the whole met with
the approval of most of the commit
tee. They requested that wider stairs
be constructed leading down on the
outside of the building. The stairs
are narrow and steep at present and

the commission thought in case Of
fire this would be one Of the most
dangerous outlets. The stage, where
fire is most likely to start in the
alter, met with the approval of the
entire committee.
The commission next visited the
First Methodist church. About half
bert showed the members over the
church and claimed that his edifice
was the safest of any Methodist
church in the country. The exits on
the main floor met with the approval
of the fire commission. But the gal
winding stairway leads down to the
main hall and this is the only means
of escape. Chief Myers recommended
that a straight flight of stairs be con-
structed independent of the lower
floor, that the windows in the gallery
be lowered and a fire escape placed on
each side of the building. DR.. Lam
bert said that the appearance OF the
entire building would be destroyed If
such a thing were erected. mot an
other church in the country has fire

ance of our church If one We're put

the appearance of the church might
be spoiled but that no consideration
would stand in the way of proper ex-
its and escapes.

with that Of her son. She tainted

minded people, who do not know how
to follow up these intricate investiga-

satisfied in her own mind that her

Nothing came. Strange as it may
seem. Ensign White. 3775 miles away,
happened to go into a Spokane saloon
that very night and saw there a
young boy, who was in trouble. The
lad was ragged. sick and wretched.
Misery, sin and an evil life were
wrecking him fast. The Salvation
army man asked Burt in low voice:
DO you need a friend?"
That unexpected kindness was too
much for the world-weary child, who
broke down and wept and said he
was lost soul The ensign took
Burt away, gave him bed and some
food. The boy had not had n warm
meal for days; and he had been sleep
ing in alleys. That night, in open
meeting, at the Salvation army bar

the crowd and told the strange story

Minnesota demands an injunction

venting an increase in the valuation
