Tablet to be set up in Syracuse as a
Memorial to George Il. Clark
Formerly OF Ken0sha
GAVE HIS LIFE FOR COMPANIONS.
Saved One of His School Mates From
Drowning and Lost His Life Attempts
Ing to Make Second Rescue

The name of George Herbert Clark,
formerly little Kenosha boy, will al
ways be held in memory by the people
of Syracuse, New York, as the Princi-
pal in the Syracuse High School an
nounced yesterday that tablet would
be erected in the school to commend.
rate the bravery of the Clark boy.
George Herbert Clark is a son of
Harriet Isa Clapp Clark who was form
erly one Of the best known women of
Kenosha. A short time ago while at
tending picnic two of the compan-
ions of the Clark boy fell into the
water and were in dire danger of being
drowned. The boy not thinking of his
own safety leaped into the icy water
and brought one of the children to the
bank in safety. He started back for
the other child but the strain was too
great and the two children sank be-
meath the waves.
One of the leading papers of SYRIA
cuse in speaking of the tablet to be
erected to the memory of the Clark
boy, says:
''No mark of esteem could go furth-
er to sweeten the bitter cupof bereave-
ment for the parents of George Her
bert Clark, no memorial could more
truly record the appreciation of his
bravery and no act could reflect more
credit upon the character of the stud
ent body of the Syracuse High School
than the tablet to Herbert Clark's
memory which is to be put in place on
the wall of the High School.
"The High School, like all the other
schools which compose the great sys-
tenn of public instruction in the state,
is meant, not to produce scholars, but
citizens. IF our schools do not pre-
duce race of better, drawer and more
patriotic men, they fail of their high
est use. The young man who lost his
life in the effort to save a little boy
from drowning exhibited the very
qualities toward which American man
hood at its best aspires-courage and
.self-sacrifice; and his act of courage
and self-sacrifce was the more note
worthy because it was accompanied
with no glory, no laurels, no plaudits,
no trumpet blare. Quietly, in the
sight of a handful of his yonng com
panions, he volunteered to save two
human lives. In the one case he sue
ceeded, in the other he failed and died
in the brave attempt. No soldier ever
deserved more truly the Cross of the
Legion of Honor or the flag of his
country above his grave.
Scholarships may be founded for
the High School, athletic records may
be broken by its students, its alumni
may go forth into the world and carve
out for themselves noble careers to the
glory of their alma mater, but that
first tablet upon the High School wall
will never be excelled as stimulus to
noble lives, bond of union among
the students and alumni, mark of
noble achievement to the credit of the
institution itself. The deed it stands
for will forever impart luster to the

Fire Chief, Mayor, District Attorney
and a Contractor Make Rounds of
Buildings in KenOsha.
STEEL CURTAIN FOR THE RHODE
Opera House Manager Anxious to Take
ANY Possible Move to Make Theatre
Safe.-Meyers Block Inspected.

Seeking the safety Of the people OF
the city a commission composed OF
Chief of thetFire Department James ;
Barr, Mayor Charles Pfennig, District
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and Contractor
D. J. Harff visited a number of build
ings in the city today used for public
entertainments and took steps to Sc
cure theiaddition to these buildings OF
the latest fire apparatus.
The first visit was directed to the
Rhode opera house. Manager Rhode
had invited the commission to inspect
the house and announced in advance
that he had done everything IN his
power to make the house safe and was
willing to follow any suggestions that
the commission might make. The
commission was in the opera house for
over an hour and every part of the
building was inspected. In order to
make the building absolutely safe the
commission decided that it would be
necessary to make some changes.
Manager Rhode at once offered to
meet these demands and announced
that he would at once put IN a steel
curtain to protect the audience IN case
of FIRE on the stage; that he would have
all the doors in the theatre leading to
the street swing outward; that all ex-
its should be marked with signs and
with red lights; that the air f1ues on
the stage should be arranged to work
from the floor of the stage instead of
from the flies; that the stairways lead
ing to the gallery should be reinforced;
that extra FIRE extinguishers would be
placed ia the opera house and that
two inch water pipe would be run to
the stage for use in case of a fire in the
house. AS near as possible this work
will be done at once and as soon as
possible Mr.. Rhode will add to the
equipment of the house by placing
sprinkler system on the stage.
Mayor Pfennig stated this morning
that he did not think there was any
danger at the Rhode but that he would
ask Mr., Rhode to discontinue regular
performances until after the steel cur
tain mad been installed. This request
will not interfere with the appearance
of the "Flints," as this entertainment
is held to be entirely different from
regular dramatic production. Mana
ger Rhode began to make contracts for
the changes in the theatre this after
noon and the work will be done as soon
as possible.
After leaving the opera house the
commission visited the Meyers build
ing and found several defects in con-
struction. The owners of the big
building were ordered to at once ex-
tend the halls So that they will lead to
the FIRE escapes at the back of the
building and it isgpossible that fire
escape will be ordered placed on the
front part of the building. It is not
thought that there are any other build
ings in the city in need of better FIRE
protection but visit will be made to
the different halls during the present
week and if any deficiencies are found
the halls will be closed until proper
FIRE protection is provided.

To Exterminate the Dogfish

According to report made to the State
department by Consul General Holloway at
Halifax the minister of marine and fish
cries has determined on plan to rid coastal
waters OF the dogfish pest that has been
causing such havoc among the fisheries dur
Ing the last few seasons. After considering
the proposal for a government bounty on
dogfish, to encourage the fishermen to
exterminate the species, the minister has
concluded that this method offers no pros
pect OF complete success, and has decided
instead to establish three reduction plants
to convert the fish into fertilizer and glue
One Will be erected in northern New Bruns-
wick, another will be on the southern coast
of Cape Breton and a third will probably
be on the Magdalene Islands. They will
cost $4,000 each, and the government will
itself operate them, paying the fishermen a
good price for their fish offal and for all
the dogfish they can bring in. The minister
is satisfied that the venture can be made
to yield a satisfactory profit. as it already
does along the American coast. He calcu-
lates that the price paid for dogfish and the
desire of the fishermen themselves to get
rid of the nuisance will be incentive enough
to them to keep the reduction works sup
piled with all the material they require
