SCHOOL GIRLS
FLEE FROM FIRE
DORMITORY AT MARLBOROUGH
CONSUMED
Occupants Escape Due Mainly to
Quick Action of the Prin-
cipal, Miss Ida
Lindley

Fire DESTROYED the dormitory of the
fashionable Marlborough preparatory
school for girls at 636 West Adams
street shortly before z o'clock yestef-
day morning, and but for the presence
of mind of Miss Ida Lindley, principal,
and her quick work, it is PROBABLE tnat
some of the twenty women and girls
who were in the building at the time,
might have been seriously injured and
perhaps burned to death. AS it was
several of the girls escaped through
the windows, egress by the doors be-
ing cut off.
The occupants of the dor 'itory were
Miss Lindley, who is sister OF Dr.
Walter Lindley; her mother, Mrs. Mil
ton Lndley, 7S years old; three teachers,
Mrs. Blanche Laurie, Miss Harriet
Johnson and Miss Sue Ross; twelve
girls, resident students, and three
maids.
The occupants of the building were
awakened by a maid at 6:45 o'clock. At
that time the cook, Ella Stevens, was
in the kitchen preparing the morning
meal. She lighted the fire in the FUR
mace and was attending to her duties
in the kitchen. While thus occupied
she gave no thought to the furnace
until smoke began to roll into the room.
Then it was discovered that the build
ing was OIL lIes
Met by Rush of Smoke
She ran up stairs to notify MISS
Lindley The latter heard her racing
up the steps and thinking something
wrong opened the door of her room
and was met by rush of dense smoke; :;
Il realized the situation Immediately,
said Miss Lindley. MY mother, al
though advanced in years is still ac-
tive, was asleep in the east wing on
the first floor. 1 got her out and then
ran up stairs and told the teachers
and girls that the place was on fire.
They seemed to realize that prompt
action was necessary and without any
hesitation hurried out of the building
to safety.
"There was no fainting or Mysteries
and everybody acted with the utmost
GOODNESS. AS soon as I had notifled
all 1 hurried to a telephone ana notl-
fed the fire department They arrived
and by quick work confined the dam
age to this building"

The students were taken to the home
of Mrs. Theodore Eisen, 1926 South
Flgueroa street Mrs. Eisen furnished
the girls with breakfast and Mrs Mary
Caswell, principal of a school for girls
at S61 West Twenty-third street, made
arrangements for the refugees to oc-
cupy the second floor of her establish
ment for the boarding pupils.
The estimated loss is given by the
fire department at $650O, of which $25O0
is on the contents and $4,000 on the
house.
The building consisted of three stories
and a basement and is owned by Ira
o. Gardiner.
It was stated last night at the school
that the newer portions of the building
were not damaged and that work will
be resumed today.

The meeting of creditors of Fred Dorr

A Distinguished Machine.

President Roosevelt has consented to the nominal
ton of Governor Hughes, of New York. as
didate the state republican ticket to succeed him
self. The public is informed that President Roose-
welt, Candidate Taft Associate Candidate Sherman,
National Committeeman Hitchcock and several con-
gressmen are now favorable to the nomination of
Mr.. Hughes, and that he will be nominated.
The conclusion reached at a conference at
Oyster Bay on Thursday of last week The nomina-
ton of Mr.. Hughes had, before that event. been op
posed by members of the national coterie who
for him and it supposed that Mr.. Hughes
would have to walk the plank into the deep sea of
oblivion
It does not appear that the enfranchsed masses of
the republican party of the state of New York have
had anything to do with the conclusion as to who
shall be the candidate for the governorshp of their
state.
There is no evidence in the record of transactions
leading UP to the proclamation of favor that the
voters of the state consulted that their pre-
ferences were considered The verdict has been
reached by a national jury sitting at Oyster Bay
with the president of the United States as foreman
of the jury.
The voters of the republican party of the state of
New York to perform their function on the
3rd of November next, and the docity of the aver
age far east voter is assurance that he will not
republican wagon.
Out west Ga term of vast breadth and lengthy the
proceedings through which candidate has been
handed down to the republican people of New York
would be resented. Messrs Roosevelt, Taft, Sher-
man, Hitchcock and the others in the deal would
be called machine and measures would be taken to
show them that they have not qualified as bosses.
Though the republican people of the out west re-
gon might look on Mr. Hughes as a satisfactory can
ddate, and who would make a satisfactory
governor they would say, that isn't the way to
do it. States don't go. Our machine is the primary
election. And the chances that, through the
declaration of independence of the primary the good
man would be thrown down, through prejudice
against the irregulariy of the boss system. But in
New York there will be no rebellion.
In the role worked out at Oyster Bay, the presi-
dent the heir apparent and the other participants are
no better than Fingy Connors Sachem Murphy
whom republicansm points to with derison as bosses
of the intolerable species They have never done
anything than pick out candidates for the
democrats to vote for.
