FIREMEN KEPT BUSY.
They Rush to Eleventh. Street on
Mistaken Alarm.

The fire department was kept fairly
active last night and this morning. At
ten minutes of eleven this morning a
call was sent in from 1892 North Kan
sas avenue. Through the customary
mistake on the part of the person
sending in the alarm failing to desig-
nate North Kansas avenue the depart
ment made a run to the corner of
Eleventh and Kansas avenue. No fire
could be discovered and finally the
call came that North Kansas avenue
was meant. A gasoline stove explosion
occurred, the damage was small. No
one injured.
The most serious fire happened at
BIS this morning when the one and
one-half story brick barn at 900
North Kansas avenue occupied by
Morns and Myers and owned by VIM
Green burned to the ground, entailing
a loss of $500. The cause of the fire
is unknown.
At 6:26 last night a gas stove ex-
plosion took place in the dwelling at
All Fast Eighth street. The house is
owned by Jane S. Mood and occupied
by Elmer Conway. The damage was
inconsequentiaI and no one was in
jured by the explosion.

Kansas City Star he was sitting in his

Three years ago on the occasion of
his concert in the Auditorium Innes
played one of Reid's marches and gave
it the warmest praise. He assured
Reid today that he wished to look over
any music the artist might write and
give him the benefit of his knowledge
and large experience. This is rather
unusual, but the bandmaster has a sin

work as an artist and as a composer.

TRAINING DETECTIVES.
Topic of Discussion at Portland Chari-
ties Conference.

Portland, Ore, July 18.-At the
general session of the conference on
charities and corrections. Detectives"
and Children were the principal
topics discussed. As on yesterday, each
paper or report was discussed from
every standpoint, the delegates taking
so active an interest as to make the
discussions general in Character, rather
than confined to the few set speeches
of the day.
The topic "'Defectives' was intro
duced by DR.. H A. Tomlinson, of St.
Peter, Mimi. chairman of the commit
tee on detectives. He said in part:
Modern methods of investigation
have taught us the intimate relation
and correlation of the functions Of the
brain and the general organs and their
interdependence. We have also learned
that the functioning Of the brain is de-
pendent upon the bodily organs.
Therefore the direction in which we
are to look for advance in the study,
care and training of those who are de-
feetive mentally, must be by the cor
relation of the physical with the men
tai, based upon the fact that the two
are always associated. Provision
should be made for the thorough in
vestigation of physical conditions asso-
ciated with mental defects and the
pedagogfc aspect. of the work should
be supplementaTykFa kFather than domi-
nant, as it is now.
That these same methods should
the insane ought to be obvious.
Much has been said in the difec-
tion of providing room and agreeable
surroundings for the chronic, quiet
and well behaved patient but prac-
tically nothing is said about, or
thought. of the proper provision for
the disturbed patient, either acute or
chronic. The difficulties that have
arisen and still persist are due to the
retention of the asylum regime and
| the effort to make it applicable to the
performance of hospital work.
