drop out OF school at certain grades
and those who are continued beyond
their proper limit are merely injured
thereby. Many a splendid mechanic
has thus been educated into a poor
preacher who half staryes the rest OF
his life.
IL is nov even limited that many OF
our new types OF immigrants are mere

escapes from Jail has been demonstrate
ed In a single case In Wisconsin. Soap
not only made the robbery OF a post
Office safe possible. but IL was the prin-
cipal factor In the escape OF the leader
Of the band after he was arrested for
the robbery.
The discovery Of this use OF soap
was made by E. E Fraser Of La Crosse.
a postofice inspector OF the Chicago
district
The safe In the p~ostofice at stod
dard. Wis, was blown open and three
crooks were arrested for the crime.
They were held In the La Crosse Coun-
" jail pending trial In the United
States Court. Two Of the trio es-
capped.
An investigation was made Of the
circumstances In connection with the
robbery. 1t was found that the safe
had been blown up with nitroglycerin.
The explosive had been poured into the
safe lock through a funnel made by
out a cake OF common laun-
dry soap.
Not long after the arrest the first
prisoner. Homer Earl TraInor. es-
,aped from the Jail by saving the bars
4 his cell. How he got the saws was
/ mystery only until the turnkey Of the
Iail, j. NJ Childers. was convicted OF
assisting In the escape.
The noise Of the saving was not
by the other attendants. and the
made in the bars by the pris-
'ner were not discovered in the daily
Inspections Of the Jail II was found
.fterward that soap had been used to j.,
eaden the sound OF the saving. and
Dap had been rubbed into the OPEN

1tact during the operation. Z

HIS LEG FRACTURED.
Passenger Elected From Street Car Sus-
tains Injury.

Louis Buerrosse, a collector, fifty-six
years old, was taken to the Casualty Hos
pital early this morning and treated for a
fracture of his leg. II is alleged that he
received the injury by being pushed from
a Capital Traction car by the conductor.
The passenger. It is said, annoyed the con-
ductor when the latter asked him for his
fare. Policemen Garrett and DuvaU were
upon the car at the time. When the car
had been stopped an unusually long time
because of the dispute regarding the fare
the officers went to the rear OF the car
and assisted the conductor.
When BuerrosSe fell TO the pavement the
conductor gave the signal and the car
started. The policeman, who remained on
the rear end Of the car. noticed that Buer-
rosse did not get up, and they left the car
and returned to see what they could do for
him.
Much TO their surprise. they found he had
sustained fracture of one leg They had
him removed to the hospital and reported
the AFFAIR to the sixth precinct police sta
tion. The home of the injured man is at
Gas Pennsylvania avenue southeast.

PRINTERS ENCOURAGED
by REPORT THAT ST. LOUIS FIRMS
HAVE SURRENDERED.

The striking printers found additional
rcause for enthusiasm at the daily roli-caii
this forenoon. After Mr. T. G. Parsons,
chairman of the strike committee, had call
ed the names of the typos who are still on
the pay list of the union he announced that
no had received letter from President
Lynch of the International Typographical
Union In reference to strike situation In st.
Louis which was most encouraging. He
said practically all the printing establish
ments In that city have signed contracts
with the st. Louis union for an eight-hour
day and forty-eight hours a week. Several
days ago a report was sent out from st.
Louis stating that the union there had sign
ed with the Typothetae for nine-hour day.
This report caused CONSERVATION In the
ranks Of the unionistS, as the charter OF the
ST Louis union had previous to the strike
been revoked because II had entered into
three years nne-hour-s- day contract with
the Typothetae offices. The ntne-hour con-
tract was afterward revoked by direction
OF the international body and the charter
was thereupon restored.
President Lynch in his communication to
Chairman Parsons said the report alleging
that the ST. Louis union had entered into
nlne-hour agreement was absolutely faiSe
and that the St Louis union had praetlcal-
.ly won out and signed up for an eight-hour
day and that the contract would be strict
son of the ST. Louis Typographical Union
Local Situation.
The local situation is very encouraging.
said Chairman Parsons to Star reporter
today. AT least ca per cent of the printers
that were on our pay roll at the beginning
of the strike are now employed at Judd IL
Detweiler's and in the original eight-hour
offices owing to the increased volume OF
work they have received from the Typoth-
etae offices. More than two-thirds OF the
printers engaged in the book and job print
ing industry in Washington are now work
ing on an eight-hour basis
The Washington Typothetae did not
hold "A meeting today. although several
of the members assembled at headquar-
tiers and informally discussed the strike

CANNOT FAVOR DODSoN.
Commissioners Without Power to Sus-
pend Smoke Law in His Case.

Carrying out his intention. expressed in
the Police Court a few days ago when he
was arraigned on charge of violating the
smoke law, ]. NJ. Dodson, owner of lime
kiln on Rock creek near the NJ street
bridge. appeared before the board of Com
missioners today to make an appeal for
temporary suspension OF the law in his
case. In stating his case Mr.. Dodson de-
clared that nc could not operate his kilns
without the emission of smoke, and, while
stating that the smoke law would drive
him out of business. he asked only that
execution OF the law be suspended for three
or four months until he has opportunity to
burn the limestone which he has on hand
The decision of the Commissioners was
not formally announced after the hearing
but ii was unofficially stated that this de-
cision would be that the Commissioners are
without power TO grant even temporary i'm
munity from punishment under the law

A DAMAGING FIRE AT
THE STORE OF PRICE G. CO

When Sidney Prayer came to the
store of Price & Co. this morning at
seven O'Clock, he found the building
more dense as he proceeded to the
rear of the big saleroOm. 1t was
found that hole ten feet long and six
feet wide had been burned in the
floor of the sewing room in the back
part of the store and that the fire
had been smothered by the smoke
itself. The fire was started by an cleo
trio iron which an employe had left
turned on by mistake. The bad fea-
ture of the affair is that all exposed
goods as well as all furnishings and
fixtures, were coated with black from
the smoke
The iron, perfectly harmless when
properly handled, is supposed to
have become red hot when left turn
ed on several hours. The heated iron
chine top, where it was left standing,
and then to have fallen to the floor
and set that afire, by slow process
filling the house with smoke. After
the fire nad- consumed all the oxy-
gen in the house, it was extinguished
by natural causes. Had the fire been
discovered and door opened. or had
one of the windows been left open,
the building would have no = doubt
been destroyed. The escape from a
disastrous fire was nothing short
of miraculous.
The Price store is closed until the
amount of the loss can be determined
The stock and building were fully in
sured.

EXPERIENCE
ON DENVER ROAD

Ft. Worth, Tex, Nov. 24-Harrow-
ing experiences were reported today
by passengers on the Ft. Worth &
Denver passenger train which arriv-
ed here from Denver over five je- 5
late. The train left Denver last Sat

peated snow storms in the sparse J
settled sections of the Texas Panhan-
die. There were eight babies on the
train, and the supply of milk having
been exhausted, they were fed on
whiskey and water. Other passengers
suffered greatly for food, it being
impossible to obtain supplies. Traf
fic is now open and the weather mod
