making OF briquettes by means of the
VESSEL machine will be successful

hole in his head and one in his neck.

DENMARK.

Borgberg, a social-democratic mem.
Der OF the folketing. or Danish parlia-
ment. has introduced measure con-
ferring the right of ballot upon the
women. He took this action on behalf
of his party, he said, which gives It
considerable political significance, ow.
ing to the growing strength and activ.
ity of the socialists Of Denmark. Borg.
berg stated that he is convinced that
the women are sufficiently schooled in
political affairs to vote intelligently,
and that woman suffrage would i'm
prove the social conditions of the coun.
try. 1t is also proposed by the same
party to cut the legal age down to 21
years. as in the United States, on the
ground that the young men of the land
ought to have greater influence in its
affairs. This would also be radical
change. but in all probability a sa!,,-
tary one, as there seems to be too
much lethargy or slowness in Danish
politics.
Rev. Bjerre, about whom wrote re-
Gently. has fallen the victim of nervous
tension, due, it is maintained, to the
public meetings which he held through
out the country districts, and which
were too wearing.

jured.
Three men were seriously injured
and had an almost miraculous escape
from death in a runaway accident near
Hannah. While Sidney Ackland, Rob-
ert Laybourne, Jr., and Daniel Davis
were driving, an automobile fright
ened the team. The horses jumped
a ditch and threw Davis to the ground.
The horses then started down the
road toward the bridge, and the We
hicle was dashed violently against the
side of the bridge. Both men were
thrown out. Laybourne was severely
cut about the face and head and Ack-
land received severe injuries about
the back and chest.

The report on the finances of the
nation for the last fiscal year has been
made public. The income for the
year was 114,2OO,0O0 crowns and the
disbursements were 100 800, 900 crowns,
leaving surplus Of 100000 crowns.
From the last there must be subtract
Ell 100000 crowns, is it is found that
certain public works ordered by the
government and not yet completed will
cost that much more than anticipated.
The principal cause of the largeness
CT the surplus is due to the increase in
the tax rates Of the last few years.

the Course of Study by alternating
the subjects daily.
To The Pupils:-Remember that
you can not all expect to win prize

that position simply means work,
study and perseverance. II you do
not win IL prize you will ut least have
spent the time with profit and 1t
may be profit that will he worth

SCHOOL CHILDREN suFFocATED
Sixteen Little Ones with Their Teacher
Perish at Montreal.

Observation-Disclosures Sarah Maxwell
and sixteen children perished in fire
on TIE 26th in the Hochelaga school
of the Protestant school commission.
The fire was first noticed by work
men employed near by. The teachers
We're notified and the work of getting
the children out of the building began
The kindergarten department was To-
Gated on the second floor, and it was
mere that the loss of life occurred. The
children were started out, but found
the lower hall full of smoke and re-
fused to descend. They retreated TO
the rooms whence they had come.
The fire by this time was making its
way upward and the smoke growing so
dense that even the experienced fire.
men could not stand it. Captain Car
son tried to get Miss Maxwell to go
down the ladder, but she refused and
rushed back into the back part of the
building in search of the children La.
ter she was found lying on the floor
with child beside her.
The deaths were caused by asphyXia-
ton. There were no fire escapes IN
the building.
Miss Sarah Maxwell. principal of the
school, was thirty-one years old. The
children who were killed ranged from
three to eight years.
1t is asserted at the Office of the
building commissioner that official no.
tice was served on the school commits
sioners in November that not only this
schoo, but fifty others in the city, must
be provided with fire escapes at once
None had been built at the Hochelaga
scEooi. Another point to be explained
is WHY the kindergarten class had been
taken to an upper story.
A pupil in the second class said.
there was bell in Miss Maxwell's
room which was used when fire drill
was given and could be heard all over
the building This alarm was not
sounded

Hartman Condemns Fish.

as to the funds of the company was
leading feature of Tuesdays session

sion. Mr.. Hartman was the only wit

Mr. Fish is preparing statement for
publication and will ask to be heard
by the commission in refutation or
Harriman's statements.
Other features of Mr.. Harriman's tes-
timony follow:
A continued refusal to answer ques-
tons relating to individual stock
transactions.
Attempts by the government to show
that the Union Pacific charges unfair
rates, stiles competition in the vast
territory traversed by its lines and that
its dividend of ten per cent. and its
expenditure of s24O.000000 on better
mentS came from an unfair toll on its
patrons.

PANAMA CANAL
PRESIDENT DECIDES AGAINST
USING CONTRACT SYoTEM.
BOARD TO BE REORGAEIZED
Engineer From the Regular Army
Will Be in Charge of the Work
Stevens Has Resigned.

Wdshington.-By an order addressed
Canal Commission Tuesday, President
Roosevelt, as far as lay in his power
under existing law, transferred TO the
engineer branch of the army the re
sponsibility for the further construc-
tion of the Panama canal.
He also formally recorded the aban-
donment, for the present at least, o!
the project of having the canal work
done by contract on the percentage
system.
Another feature was the announce
ment of the resignation of John F.
Stevens as engineer-in-chief of canal
construction.
Mr.. Shonts is in New York. where
he will preside at a meeting of the di-
rectors of the Panama Railroad Com
pany, of which he is president, and
will, it is expected, formally resign
that position.
The President intends that there
shall be an entire reorganization of
the commission, with three army of
ficers of the engineer corps as its lead
ing members, who are to have charge
OF the engineering features of the ca
nal work.
The chairman and engineer-in-chief
of the commission will be Maj G. w.
Goethals. His associates will be Mai
Dub Gaillard and Maj. William l.. 81
bert. to rank in the order named.
These officers are all comparatively
young. ambitious and energetic.
Senator Joseph S. C. Blackburn of
Kentucky, who will retire from the
United States Senate March 4th, is to
be made a member of the reorganized
commission. The nominations of the
present commissioners now pending
before the Senate include Messrs.
Shonts. Stevens, Haines, Endicott. Her
rod, Gorgas and Jackson Smith. Their
confirmation is desired in order to re
move obstacles to make way for the
certain acts they have performed in
connection with the making of con
tracts. The retirement of Messrs.
Shonts and Stevens will leave but two
vacancies, so that there will be two
more obstacles to may way for the
army officers and Senator Blackburn.
The President is determined that the
work on the canal shall proceed con
tinuously and the temporary disloca-
tions" caused by the designations of
higher officials will not be allowed TO
interfere with progress.
The probability is that the admins
tration may determine to give out the
work to be done at the isthmus under
contract under the general direction OF
the army engineers. After Major
Goethals and his army associates have
been at the isthmus sufficient time to
become fully acquainted with the work
to be done, they will submit report
on the situation to the President. If
they feel the WORK can be done hetter
by contract than under the present sys-
TEN, the question again will be consid-
cred by the President and the SER
vices of the same high-class contract
ors whose bids are now rejected, or
others of similar standing, then may be
invoked.
