FIRE DRILL AT SCHOOLS

The children at the various schools
are being drilled every day on max
ing a quick and safe exit from the
building at the sound of the gong fire
larm.
Yesterday the time required for the
pupils to make their exit was three
fourths of a minute or As seconds. 1t
required just 80 seconds for the
children to return to their seats and
resume regular work. Last year this
time was finally reduced for the exit
to 20 seconds. This shows excel
lent drill work and is of far more i'm
portance than is usually believed to
be. 1t may save scores of lives in
case of fire starting in the school
building.

home of his mother, Mrs. Maria Jack
son, and his grand parents, MIR. and
Mrs. j. F. Sexton, 1924 Second ave
nue., about 8 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing.
Mrs. jackson told the police last
night she felt sure that the father of
the lad, DR.. j. H. jackson, a Boston
dentist, is responsible for the dis
appearance. The Jacksons are sep
arated, Mrs. jackson living with her
parents in this city. AS an incident
to the troubles of the Iacksons, DIR.
Jackson visited the home of his wife
a year ago and attempted to take the
lad away by force, people in the
house resisting the attempt and re-
volver being discharged during the
excitement. | was with the recollec-
ton of that attempt to take the child
that Mrs. jackson felt last night that
her former husband was responsible
for the disappearance of the lad.
The loss of the son is doubly keen
to Mrs. jackson at this time because
her other child, a boy of 3 years,
was run over by a wagon loaded with
sand about a month ago and instantly
killed. That tragedy occurred with

ment Witness in BOrah Trial

Boise, Idaho, Sept 26.-The first

when Albert X. Nugent, the second
witness produced by the government,
admitted on REORGANIZATION that
he committed perjury in taking out a
timber land claim. admitted that he
had been promised absolute immuni-
ty by an officer of the federal govern
ment for testifying, testified that at
the request Of the federal office he
had sworn to complaint against a
man whom he did not know, and
lastly, proclaimed that he believed it
to be part of his bargain for i'm
munlty that he should swear to any
complaint against any person, regard
less Of any knowledge that he might
have as to the PERSONS guilt. Asked
the name Of the federal officer who
induced him to sign the complaint
as asked by Senator Borah's counsel,
the witness swore positively that he
could not remember it.
The day was given over to the in

they received money from John l.
Wells with which to prove their tim.

men indicted with Senator Borah.
Counsel for the latter did not object
to this testimony on the understand
ing that the transaction in question
would ultimately be connected up in
some way with the senator on trial.
The defense scored the first point
of the trial early in the examination
of the first witness, a man named
Anderson. lie was asked by Special
Prosecutor Rush what his intent was
when he took up a timber claim.
Judge Whitson, who is presiding,
sustained an objection based on the
grounds that man confessing perjury
as Anderson did, could not properly
testify as to any secret intent he may
have had locked up in his breast.
Anderson and Nugent both testified
that they received from John K.

claims and each received $3.50 add.

Fruit Inspector William Buckley
and Captain Charles siseho inspected
the fruit exhibit at the Spokane fair

II was a good display but 81 have
just AS good Ia my cellar" They
claimed the display was very pref.
ty." The State college had a large
variety, not less than $50 varieties.
They maintained Occur d'Alene had
several varities tina: would compare
very favorably with those on display
and that our locality would not take
second place to Wenatchee or Yakima.
Captain Sisoho took with him a
choice apple which he could not
name, In expectation of finding some
one who could designate II. He
came back without the desired infor-
nation, although there were hun.
dreds Of varieties on exhibit.
They said there we're no COWS,
sheep, or hogs ON exhibit except the
"Spokane graft hog. The horses
displayed by Burgess aud Gray, OF
Pullman, Wash, which were import
ed, they contend would be- credit
to any fair or locality.

CALL OUT
MORE MEN
Photographers Strike to Extend to
Wall Street

New York, Sept. 90. Daniel /.
Russell, chairman of the strike com
mittee, who until today had opposed
the movement for a sympathetic
strike, tonight made a vigorous
speech in which he reversed his posi-
ton and declared that expedienoy do
manded such war measure as call.
ing out the operators ON leased wires.
Chester l.. Hall, chairman of the
Wall street chapel, opposed the mo-
tion, but was frequently interrupted
and finally, acknowledging that be
could not stem the tide against him,
desisted In his attempt to present the
matter from the point of veiw of the
Wall street operators.
An amendment introduced by John
G. McCloskey, of the Hearst news ser.
vice, exempting operators of leased
wires Who we're bound by contacts
signed six months previous to the
strike of the commercial men was de.
feated amid much cheering, and the
original resolution passed with little
opposition. The local strikers await
the sanction OF their action by Presi
dent s. j. Small, who Is now In
Chicago. This approval they expect,
and when such Is received they will
Immediately set date when the press
and Wall street men shall be called
out. After the meeting Chairman
Russell said, IL the present course
was not effective, the railroad opera
tors would be called upon to quit
work. He said:
''There can be no doubt as to the
action Of Wall street men. Some OF
them will protest for day OF two
perhaps, but by Monday they will all
be with u.s. 4"
Some of the more conservative
among the operators who attended
toniRht's meeting we're not inclined
to discuss the probable outcome. The
feeling was general, however, that
President Small would approve of
the ! test move and call upon the
press and broker men to quit work.

otiicers of the telegraphers' union de.
clined tonight TO express an opinion

National Secretary Wesley Russell.
He added that similar action had been
taken by about 10 locals in different
parts Of the country.
