HIGH SCHOOL HAS
NO FIRE ESCAPES
That Building However Falls
Under Law Requiring Such
Means of Escape.
SUPT. MOTT INVESTIGATES.
WISHES TO KNOW LAW GOVERN.
ING CONSTRUCTION OF OUT
SIDE FIRE EscAPEs-DOUBL
DOORS ARE A MENACE.

Supt r. A. Mott, of the city public
schools, was at the court house this
morning for the purpose Of consulting
the laws governing fire escapes on pub
lie buildings. Not a school building
in this city is equipped with an ex-
terror fire escape. But one local struc-
ture would be governed by the re-
quirementS of the law. 1t is the high
school building and the only structure
in the city at which three floors are
used for school purposes. The Garfield
building might justly be considered as
governed by the law. however, mas
much as the gymnasium is on the
third floor and pupils are on this floor
at different times during the day.
1t is demanded by the law that
three-story buildings be equipped with
two or more methods of escape. They
may be on the interior or exterior. A
second stairway is regarded as fire
escape under the meaning of the law.
The high school building has three
stairways leading from the third floor,
Mr.. Mott stated today, it has been
held by competent engineers and ar
chitects that the most advisable meth
cd of arranging fire escapes is to have
them on the interior Of the building.
adjacent to wall. In case they are
on the exterior it happens often that
they become damned in the rush of the
panic stricken persons trying to es-
cape and many fall off the sides and
are killed or wounded seriously.
Under the present system of closing
the double doors at the various build.
ings it is customary to keep one side
locked. 1t is probable that when the
members of council, who undertake
an investigation learn of this condi-
ton. they will demand that both
halves of the doors be kept unlocked

TRACK TEAM HAS
FAIR PROSPECTS
Notwithstanding This, Rich
mond Will Participate in
QuadranguIar Meet.
FEW OLD MEN IN SCHOOL,
MANY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
LAST YEAR GRADUATED IN
JunE-MEN ARE pRACTicING.

The prospects for first class track
team representing the Richmond high
school are only fair. The team this
year will be found lacking experienced
men, as nearly all the members or last
years team left school in June. Not
withdrawing, it is believed by some OF
the students at the high school, that
with good coaching and hard. consist
ent practice, that the team will round
into such shape that will make the
track teams of Anderson, Marion, 10
lomo, sit up and take notice.
The one cause of the poor showing
made by the track team last year was
the fact that a Partially was shown
in picking the team, and in this man
ner there were several men on the
team that could make racords of any
kind, if they were perfect in what they
were entered. The team last veal
also lacked good coaching.
The team this year has not held any
meeting of any kind. but will do sc
the first Of next week. They will
elect captains Of the student body and
p faculty manager. according to the
rules of the Indiana High School Ath
1etic association, of which the Rich
mond high school is a member.
The men that are showing up excep
fionally we'll in the weights are ALI

The civil damage suit of James

the mitigating circumstances That

horse valued at $50 escaped from his
pasture last summer and strayed on

boys, and according to the allegations
taken to the Little home. The de-

weeks. He was forced to obtain the
services of veterinary and put to

the horse, which previously had been
worth $3.50.

PARKER CRAWLs FROM UNDER

Alton b. Parker. who was~supposed
to have been buried so deep under
an avalanche of ballots four years
ago that he would not be heard from
again for a decade or two, has man
aged to crawl out. and Is emitting
some rather doleful protests which
have attracted the attention of the
public to the fact that he is alive.
From what can be made out OF bis
cries, It seems that he blames Presi-
dent Roosevelt for his misfortune in
getting showed under so deeply, and
wants Bryan to defeat Taft because
Taft Is a friend of Roosevelt. He
also says that he Is giving President
Roosevelt what has been coming to
him for q long time"
No one can blame Judge Parker for
feeling bad. That heap of ballots must
have lain ON his chest worse than a
rarebit nightmare; but he should not
splutter out his indignation against
Messrs. Roosevelt and Taft. The
American people are to blame for
Parker's very crushing defeat, and
he ought to direct his abuse against
them, and not against the present and
the next President. who could not
help the popular preference.

III union ~peaceably to leave the en-
ploy OF their employer because any
OF the terms of employment are un-
satisfactory"
Coming to Phelan, Judge Taft APP
piled the law-not his own ideas as
to the legality of the mans conduct.
but the LAW-to his actions. Had
Phelan, as the Judge explained, util-
lied an opportunity when the receiver
OF the railroad reduced wages and
urged q peaceable strike, melted a
strike for the increase Of wages, and
won, to quote Judge Taft: The loss
to the business OF the receiver would
not be ground for recovering dam
ages, and Phelan wouIc not have
been liable for contempt. even IL the
strike much impeded the operation
of the road under the order OF the
court. His action in giving the adj
vice, or issuing an order based on
unsatisfactory terms of employment,
would have been entirely lawful"
The Judge stood like q rock at his
desk and conveying the ems Of per-
sonal contact SO strongly that each
nan felt as though Judge Taft we're
looking straight into his eyes, speak
ing to him individually, he said:
Wucu you mel leave tuis IOOMi 4

that II there is any power In the army
Of the United States to u those

Bang! came his fist hard to the
desk. There was no more trouble.
He did the same strikers a good turn
afterwards-and at Phelan's request.
The receiver would not take any OF
the striking employees back when
tho strike ended. Pm Ian went to
Judge Taft.
"No ill-will, Judge" he said; Il

receivers and the strikers were given
jobs.
