Suicide travels in waves like vario,

Suicide travels in waves like various kinds of crime, and in large cities they come in rapid succession. Dull November has been called the suicide month, but August shows larger number the past year, and it is believ- ed that the great heat has very great deal to do with suicides. In extreme cold weather there are few suicides in this or any other country.

IN HOTEL FIRE
IN new ENGLAND

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 12.-At
least six lives were lost in a fire that
badly damaged the Hotel Garde early
today. The dead were employees OF
the hotel. It is believed that all the
guests escaped. The fire followed an
explosion on the fifth floor in the
north wing Of the building. The bod
les of the dead were burned beyond
recognition. The Garde is one of
The largest hotels in the city. Isaac
Levine, day porter. was killed by
falling from a rope. Fire was out
at $50 a. m.
The damage. 1t is thought. is about
$4,000. When the fremen made
their way TO the top floor they found
four bodies so charred as to be UNI
recognizable, two of them in a room
where it is thought the fire started.
Firemen are searching the ruins
of the Hotel Garde, believing more
bodies will be found, as $50 guests
were driven TO the street by the
flames.

Warrants of the election of eoun-
trustees have been placed IA the
hands Of the city clerk and the clerk
of the school board. Alderman w.
n. Miller and Councilman T. B. Ford.
.of the Fifth ward, may qualify at
once and take their seats in the next
meeting, succeeding Alderman Smith
and Councilman Tuttle, appointees of
Mayor Yeiser.
In the school board Trustees-efect'
j. x. Bondurant, of the Second ward,
C. G. Warner. of the Fourth ward,
and Ed Morris, of the Fifth ward,
may take their seats In the next
meeting. succeeding incumbents who
were elected by the board to fill va
cancies.
The accession of Trustee-elect
Bondurant will necessitate the cleo
ton af an ad interim president to
succeed Colonel Potter, although Il
is probable that a president pro TEN
will be elected in the December
meeting.
The school board fer the last year
has been a confusionf as several
members have resigned and the
board has filled their places, two
presidents have served, and some of
those elected to fill vacancies were
left off the tickets this fall some
were defeated and some elected to
fiji long or short terms.
It Is currently rumored that poll
ticians are already at work, trying
TO induce trustees-elect to decline to
qualify, by showing them how hard
the work is, frightening them with
talk of disquallfications or invoking
the power of friendship. The effort
is to be made to get them out of the
way so others. who wish to get on
the board, may be appointed to fiji
the vacancies.
There are a number of professional
school politicians who cannot get
nominations on regular tickets and
are not strong enough ton run indie
pendently, who have been wonder
fully successful in securing their
own election by the board to fill va
cancies. These men. through their
friends in and out OF the schools, use
every means to get regularly elected
trustees TO vacate and then infu-
ence is brought to bear on the trus-
tees to elect these men to the vacant
places. In this way in times past,
the whole complexion of tie board
has been changed after the election.
