VERSITY AT LAW" OPENING.

Large Enrolment and High
Standard in Study.

Rev Father Joseph Himmel, Sd. the
new president of Georgetown Univer-
sity, vas accorded an ovation at the

tice Ciabaugh Of the Supreme Court of
the District Of Columbia. dean of the
law faculty, who presided. called atten-
ton to the large enrolment of the
school. which is nearly. 500 pupils. and
predicted that the standard in study
this year will surpass all former rec
ords. In closing. he introduced Father
Himmel.
Il have faced many an audience of
men in my career as a missionary
priest" the president remarked. but
dents and display Of eminent professors
Of the faculty pieases me. 1t is my de-
sire that you young men will not be
content with attending to your course
in this school. but will enter into the
spirit Of the university and participate
in it's athletics, attend its lectures and
make yourselves one with the collegiate
and other university students.
Offers Some Advice.
at is my advice that you study hard
and make good use Of your time. but do
not work too hard. There is danger in
that kind Of study. You overspecialize
and gradually get into rut from which
it is hard to free yourself.
Il will say 1t is not only necessary
that you pursue your course with Per-
severance, but it is absolutely imperative
that you attend strictly to the moral
obligations imposed upon ALL

For, after all. it is upon these funda-
mental principles that every decision is

Avenue Each zone Street" Now.
The police expect they will have diff
Guilty the next few days in their efforts to
make drivers and autOmobilists acquaint
themselves with the provisions of the
amendment to the police regulations
changing the traffic rules on Pennsylva-
MIA and New York avenues. A prior
amendment to the regulations classed
New York avenue between 9th and 18th
streets and all of Pennsylvania avenue as
two streets. which gave drivers the right
to drive in both directions on either side
of the car tracks. but recent amend
ment. which became effective today,
provides that they shall no longer be
considered two streets.
Anticipating trouble in familiarizing
drivers and Automobiles with the new
provisions. the bicycle policeman doing
duty along the two avenues made an
effort yesterday to instruct many such
persons that the law would become effect
i've today. 1t is probable that persistent
viOlatOrs of the regulations will be ar
rested this week. although the police want
to give drivers a reasonable time to be-
come aware that they must treat the
thOrOughfare as one street and drive to
the right.

November 8, 10 and IL at First Congrega-

the Gypsy Smith meetings would be inter-
fered with by the convention If 1t should
be held on the dates previously selected,
and that the attendance at the conventio

QUICKLY MARCHED FROM IN
DUSTRIAL SCHOOL BUILDING
Slight Damage Done by Flames in
Neutrality-suspicious. and Auto
mobile Burn.

Children in the Industrial Home Schoo!
were given an opportunity to execute the
fire drill this morning about $50 o'clock,
when a blaze occurred in small room on
the second floor of the main building. Of
ficials at the institution had perfect con-
troll over the boys and girls Ind sue
ceeded in getting them to the lower floor
without a panic or unnecessary excite
ment. The children seemed to enjoy the
affair and joked about it rather than be-
coming excited. They were out of the
dormitory and ready to leave the build
ing by the time the firemen reached the
scene.
The room in which the fire occurred is
on the floor where the children sleep, and
when some of the smoke reached the
dormitory the sleepcrs were awakened.
Attendants were on hand to execute the
fire drill. the children dressing in a re-
markably short time. Several companies
Of the fire department responded to an
alarm sounded from box 16S The firemen
did their best to extinguish the blaze
without causing any water damage, using
only the chemical engine and fire extin-
guishers, and were successful, only about
$50 damage to the building and contents
having been caused. The fremen say
they think the fire was caused by trouble
with a flue.
An exciting scene attended blaze this
morning about 6:15 o clock in the house of
Mrs. Alice Compton, 10 9th street north
east. A leaky oil stove caught fire and
gained considerable Roadway before the
fire department could be summoned. and
1t became necessary for members OF the
family and neighbors to carry Mrs. Comp
ton. who Is an invalid, from the house.
The fire occurred in the Kitchen a one
story frame structure, which was de-
stroyed.
Mrs. Compton was in bed in the rear
parlor at the time the fire started, and the
affair caused her to become greatly eX-
cited. Her sons, a cousin and neighborS
went to her assistance before giving any
thought to the house, removing her to
the house OF Mr.. Campbell. The fire
caused about $50 damage to the build
ing and contents. The rear building Of
the adjoining house, the property of Mrs.
Elizabeth Altemus. was slightly dam.
aged.
No truck company responded to an
alarm of fire this morning about ) o'clock
and found an automobile belonging to
John Mcpherson burning. Mr.. McPher-
son and friend were taking an early
morning ride and were near 18th street
and Shepherd road when the fire occurred.
By the time the firemen reached the scene
the machine was practically destroyed.
About $9OO damage was caused.

Orville Wright Corrects Statement
Concerning WELLER Contract.

Orville Wright. who Is still under treat
ment at the post hospital at Fort Myer
says that the dispatch from LIE Mans,
France, yesterday, concerning the WELLER
negotiations for the Wright aeroplane was
inaccurate. It was stated that the French
syndicate was so pleased with the per-
formance Of the aeroplane that it had al
eady signed a contract with Wilbur
Wright for fifty of the machines for
100000.
Orville Wright authorizes the statement
that Lazare WELLER. the French aero
plane promoter had not given any order
for the construction Of fifty Wright aero
planes. as stated in the dispatch from lie
Mans, Mr.. Wright states that Mr.. Well
Ter has agreed to pay 100000 for one Of
official trials at LIE Mans are successful
This carries with 1t an interest in the
French patent On the Wright aeroplane.
