TO BURN 1900 PUPILS.
Attempt Is Made to "Ffre" Chicags
Public School.

Chicago, May 4.-Detectives in the
employ of the Chicago board OF edu-
cation are searching for an incendiary
who attempted to burn the Clarke pup
lie school, containing 1,600 children, at
Ashland avenue and West Thlrteen
street.
The fire, which started at the foot
of one of the stairways, on MONDAY,
was discovered in time to prevent
spread of the flames. The lower steps
of the stairway had been saturated
with kerosene, and a basket OF shaw
ines and paper set afire. The names
had not yet caught the oil-soaked
wood when the alarm was given.
In the building there are 30 school
rooms Three rooms are nlled with
deaf and dumb pupils and two score
blind students are scattered through
the various grades.
The attempt to fire the building was
discovered by one of the mutes.
Terrified. he ran back to the school
room. grabbed Miss Martin, the head
teacher in the deaf and dumb depart
ment. by the skirts, and dragged her
to the top of the landing. Miss Mar
tin called the janitor, and the nre was
extinguished.
No fire alarm was sounded, and out
few of the children in the school knew
anything about the tragedy that
threatened them.
That the attempt at murder OF IN
nocents was perpetrated wilfufly, prln-
c;nal and teachers and members OF the
school board do not doubt.

KELLY FIXES TT UP.
Vinewood Plan for Giving Away
Tickets Is Approved.

After a troubled, existence of a
weeks duration, Manager F. G. Kelly
has been able to convince the federal
authorities that he does not contem-
plate conducting lottery In connec-
ton with Vinewood park this season.
He spent a portion Of the winter in
evolving an advertising scheme by
which the management of the park
would give away about $1,000 worth
of free tickets to those patronizing the
attractions.
His scheme is to give a free coupon
with every ticket purchased for an at
traction at the park, a duplicate being
kept by the management, and late
each day a number was to have been
drawn from the duplicate checks for
each of the eight attractions. This
scheme would have -'ven eieht free
tickets to eight patrons holding the
corresponding numbers and they in
turn were good for eight admissions
one to each of the attractions.
Then the government stepped in and
said that this scheme would conflict
with the lottery laws of the country
and had to be abandoned for that rea-
son. The plan approved by the federal
authorities is practically the same as
| the one proposed by the management
| of the park with the exception that
there will be no drawing. the num-
| bers will be selected arbitrarily by
the management without the drawing
| formality.

STYLES 1T "EXTORTION."

Charges Are Blacxmail.

st. Louis, May 14.-S. H. Fullerton,
the father of Robert w. Fullerton,
who is held in San Francisco on
charges preferred against him by
Miss Gladys Hobart of New York
stated last night that if his son is not
released on the writ of habeas corpus
he will probably go to San Francisco
and accompany his son to New York
to meet the charges. Mr.. Fullerton
insists that his son is not guilty of
wrong doing but is the victim of a
Matchmaking scheme.
1T is palpable to me that my son
is a victim of a scheme to extort
money from me and from him. said
Mr.. Fullerton. "I will spend my for
tune If necessary and fight this thing
through every court in the United
States but will never have the mat
ter squelched by paying any extortion.
I have never heard of any promise of
marriage but I have heard of requests
for money. If necessary I will go to
New York and show Just who is en-
cheering the scheme. / advised nv
son to pay no money but to fight the
matter to standstill. He took my
advice"

HOCH ON KANSAS.
Its Cyclones Myths, Grasshoppers Leg
endary, Leads in Alfalfa and Wheat.

In it's edition Of last Sunday, cele-
brating it's twenty-fifth year, the New
York World printed brief articles by
governors Of different states. Here
is what Governor Hoch had to say
about Kansas:
when the World was born Kansas
had just attained it's majority. but the
new state was still largely in a for
native condition. Its resources were
undeveloped and comparatively little
known. 1t was the target Of every
sharpshooter in the country. Every
ambitious archer with q poisoned ar
row in his culver let it fly at Kansas.
Every jaded jester was rejuvenated at
it's expense. 1t was represented as
the favorite haunt of the voracious
grasshopper and the festive cyclone,
while drouths were paraded as peren-
NAL and it's population pictured chief
ly as a lot of short haired women and
long haired men.
mo state has been so persistently
misrepresented and so cruelty carica-
tured; but Kansas is today relatively, I
believe, without a peer in distinctive
American characteristics, in general in
telligence, in moral fibre. and in ma
terial prosperity. It's grasshoppers are
legendary and it's cyclones myths. 1t
raises more wheat than any other
state in the Union; it leads in alfalfa,
the plutocrat of plants, little known 20
years ago.
Uncle Sam, who is a good book
keeper and who Is certainly impartial
toward his nieces in the sisterhood OF
states, informs me that for a period
of five years Illinois alone seriously
competed with Kansas in the aggre-
gate value of it's corn and wheat, and
that great state fell behind $4,000
900.

Its salt deposits have no equal Its

for control between the stalwarts and

state central committee gives Mclean
Dickey and half of the Rollette county
delegations, with total of 80 votes. to
the insurgents. and Eddie county and
half Of Rollette with 10 votes to the
stalwarts. The stalwarts are in con-
troll of the state committee and the de-
cision in favor Of the insurgents is a
harmony measure, although the insur-
gents have refused to accept a COM
promise James Kennedy of Fargo
the stalwart candidate for national
committeeman, says that the stalwarts
will have 20 of the 46 delegates. The
insurgents claim that with Senator
Hansbroughs 20 instructed delegates
they will have small majority of the
delegates for Frank Sprague of Graf
ton. their candidate for national COM
mitteeman.
The delegates will be instructed for
Taft in any event.
Butte, Mont, May 14.-Montana Re-

power in the convention had not been

parently were disorganized many OF
the Silver Bow delegates came out this
morning for Taft and his Endorsement
was said to be certain.
