NO ESCAPE FROM FIRE

In case a fire should start near the

1t was discovered, all Of the pupils
on the second fioor would have as
cape cut off or be forced to jump
from the windows. In case they
faced the burning stairs, 1t is prob
able there would be many burned or
trampled to death and the escape
through tie windows would mean
death. broken limbs and life Grip.

These facts do not apply to the
one story buildings or ground
floors but all the fire drills pos
sible, although ever so effective,
can not supply a Ere escape or an

fourths of all the school children of

Damage by Water.

II. Champion, who has been down
in Adams county, Washington, near
Hatton, looking after his big crop of
wheat, retured last night and claims
the harvest to be large but that the
unfavorable conditions of the wealth
er caused much loss and considerable
damage to other property. He claims
the rain fell in torrents on some oc-
casions, so that even a knoll, hould
a man be standing upon it would be,
for the time being, ankle deep in
water. In fact the rains we're VERT
able waterspouts or Sloudbursts. He
states one instance where a barn fllled
with several tons of hay aud measured
20 by so feet or more was literally
washed away and torn to piecss.
Wheat that had been stacked, could
not be threshed within several feet of
the groud until permitted to dry, ON
account Of the flooding waters.

Yesterday the Press stated the time
it required to get the pupils out and
in the Central school building
when the fire alarm is turned in.
Since then the dangers of fires and
the exits from the buildings have
been investigated. 1t will be remem-
bered there are three large school
buildings, the Central, the Roosevelt
and Bryan, all two stories. Up
on the secod floor there are as many
as five rooms in some instances and it
is not unreasonable to suppose that
fully 200 pupils may be found on a
second floor of single building at
a given hour. Upon investigation il
is found that all these pupils must
pass up and down a single flight OF
stairs for there is no other exit
from any of the second floors. There
is not FIRE escape on any public
school building.

New York, Sept. 27.-OoIoneI
James Hamilton Lewis arrived In
New York on the White Star line
steamship Majestic. While Colonel
Lewis would not admit that he had
been abroad in a federal capacity, he
admits he will make q startling re
port to Washington. Colonel Lewis
has been investigating the withdraw.
al Of concessions by Russia to Ameri.
ca, and in this connection he found
that Russia was rapidly preparing for
another conflict with Japan. Russia
Is training her army with great care.
These preparations are nearly made,
Lewis said, because Russia Is tired
Of being held up in contempt by the
world for her failure in her last war
with Japan.
Lewis says that every sign points
to. the denomination Of Roosevelt,
and this generally accepted as the
logical program In Europe. Roose-
welt, he said, was the strongest man
here on account of his popularity
with both democrats and republicans.

IMPLICATES STEUNENBERG.
1t has been stated to the jury that
the idea of making money out of the
timber lands which the United States
tnrew open to settlement in Idaho,
in tracts of not to exceed 100 acres to
any individual and at price not to
exceed $3.50 per acre, originated
with State Senator John Kinkaid,
one Of the men indicted with Senat-
or Borah. He is alleged to have
gathered several men around him,
among them the late Governor Steun
enberg and William Sweet, a mining
man. These two it is alleged, put
up the first $500, joint note being
the security, by which the alleged
frauds we're inaugurated. About this
tine lin 1S99), Attorney Burch, as,
serts that Governor Steunenberg went
to the Occur d'Alenes presumably
for the patriotic purpose of putting
down the mining trouble, and while
there met a mineowner named A. b.
Campbell. Through Campbell, it is
alleged, Steunenberg, who had ex-
hausted his personal resources, met
Moon, who Immediately took deep
interest in the scheme. Governor
Steunenberg soon had bank account

his request 1t is further stated that
when four or FIVE fraudulent claims
we're held up Mr.. Borah went to the
home of the register of the local Office
and made inquiry as to what was to
be done concerning them. The reg
lister told him, it is said, that the
claims were fraudulent and had bet
ter be left alone. 1t is further
charged that on one occasion when
Governor Morrison was chief execu-
tive of Idaho and was about to file
state preference on certain timber
lands for school purposes, Senator
Borah went to him and sought infor-
nation as to what lands the state
planned to take and said he did not
think 1t right the state should take
such lands.
